It is (and it's usually the default result of a tied tally), but it nearly never happens. No lynches are seen by many (including me) as worse than lynches of townies. Nothing is learned, it just gives the mafia team a free kill.

The one game I played where I was a civvie, several mafia were outed and still managed to escape the lynch by not having the right number of votes. It seemed crazy, but I guess it kind of counterbalances the info dropping some.

Is no lynch an option at RYM?

Personally, I don't like winning a game that I don't feel I deserved. Typically that means I died, but not always. Sometimes I die and I feel I still deserve to win because I put in 110% while I was alive. On the flipside, there have been a couple of occasions where I was alive and won at endgame and I didn't feel I played that well.

This is proably a better explanation for me too. I have won games that I don't count as a win for various reasons. Thats was mine and usually is the players fault though. Hosts should be allowed to set whatever win conditions they choose. I think as long as your win condition is well defined you don't have much right to complain. You can see what you are getting into.

I usually don't read the roles until later in the game anyways, so not having them shown is actually an advantage for me.

linki JJJ in my (one time lol) experience I was given a list of "possible" roles not assigned to any civvie, but you can also role claim an ability so that was more the tricky part. You say you are a cop and then three others pop up. It's definitely fun, it just takes some getting used to. For me at least.

I have played a couple games with a closed set up on awardswatch. I think it's fun and different, but I also felt it was more important for me to know the theme. If you don't and it is a site that encourages info and role claiming, it makes it harder to fake role claim if you end up mafia.
