I’ve played 15 games to completion on 4 different forums. I also used some information from 6 other games I wasn’t in where a player opened RQS with the question, “What is your preferred alignment?”. So I have 21 games worth of data at my disposal. The amount of slots totaling being 272, (which means I included repeats (players I played with before)).
I think my biggest break came from two very large games I took part in. One being a 48 player role madness ( the NPBR I previously mentioned), and a 35 player “normal”. Plus gleaning 76 slots from the 6 games I wasn’t in.
Some concessions I should make, since I decided to do calculating on the fly is I accidentally included 2 games of white flag mafia. Where mafia can’t bus. I need to remove these. I also shouldn’t have included 3 other games ran by an English professor I had. I was the only one with good forum mafia experience, and therefore my opinions on mafia theory had greater emphasis (bias) then other players who only had f2f experience, or who played (lol) Town of Salem. Which influenced other's play.
I’ve not ran the numbers with just the 16 left, but I’m confident that there is still a clear connection between bussing buddies, and a preference for playing scum.
