People are more emotional than logical.
Also, it's not just about whether I'm voted or not - it's more a matter of, why would I play games with people who hate me? I know that not all atheists here are like that, but a lot are. Enmity is significantly higher than when I started doing this.
That may be true but no-one can argue with the random number generator, and anyone who does... who lets out-of-game bias about people effect their play in-game... has no business playing Mafia in the first place; it's simply completely anti-wincon to think like that.
As to the second point, CL plays, Kingpin used to play, even Neo had a go recently and seemed to like it... so it is ecumenical. For the record I don't hate you, and I bet you could ask anyone down in the mafia forum if they wanted you to play again and they'd emphatically say yes; it's a game where we can all put aside our differences and just play for fun and make friendships in that context... in that little family. We can't get around the fact that in the religious debates there's always generalisation on both sides... which you're finding hurtful but I likewise find hurtful when it's done against me... but it doesn't mean I hate you; you and me had a good connection once, and I still remember the kindness and concern you and your wife showed me when I was having that 'breakdown' in that game, and other times. So you've always been special to me, but this site just has a tendency to bring out the 'them against us' mentality on both sides, which is unfortunate, but ultimately human nature. All we can do is try to step back from it whenever we can.
