well turns out nott beat me to it and you've now said you do appreciate the value of intuition but just prefer something solid which is fair enough but for anyone else here's my post on defending vibes!
i mean id say my vibes have a well above chance performance rate (im not sad enough to do this but if I went through all games and wrote down my vibes and how many were correct I'm pretty sure it'd be like 75% chance), i think you just miss the value of vibes and gut feelings!
sure they're wrong sometimes but they're always based in something, sometimes subconscious, sometimes conscious but not quite fully formed in the "why" of it, but as human beings we can have fairly accurate intuitions about people (with a lot of individual variation obviously), in fact it was probably key to our survival to have some form of mechanism in place to emotionally-charge us to think some people are hiding suspicious things by picking up on subtle clues, whether it's facial expression, certain glances, eye movements, behaviour, or the language they use
in mafia you're limited to the language they use (and the attention they give) and the mental representations that come to you when you look at them but as far as i'm concerned they're worth listening to, unless you happen to be someone who isn't good with vibes in which case you should be aware of that!
