What's so confusing here? I'm not complaining about activity or lack thereof. It's a common tactic to vote the quieter people when there's no other info to go on. This wasn't outside the realm of what happens in every other game. I never truly complained about anyone's activity.
I don't equate post count with activity.
This is going to make me sound butthurt but I don't know how else to phrase it: There are a very limited number of players on this forum who ever make plays. I count maybe four, being generous.
The rest of our players have become more of a jury where they log on, read 14 pages of two people arguing, pick a side, the end. Lather, rinse, repeat. Is this "playing" Mafia? Yes, absolutely it is, but only just barely.
Going into any new game, you can be confident that the same select people will be driving the discourse, determining the early voting patterns, sucking the oxygen out of the room.
Me saying the game was "17 pages of two people fighting and 8 pages of me saying the same thing" isn't a knock against anyone's activity. What I was trying to do was maybe encourage some people to speak up more with their ideas and theories and for others to perhaps allow a little space.
I'm not trying to call anyone out and I'm not trying to start an argument. I'm just saying that, for me, these games have become less fun as us collective players have settled into certain "play styles." Like I may not know whose scum, but I definitely already know how each phase is generally going to go.
Like I said above, maybe I just need a break.
