The thing about Mafia is that it's a tough game if you play it in a classroom or similar setting. Here, we can't see body language, tells for lies and bluffs, or hear the voices of people when they proclaim innocence, etc. So basically, we start off with no information and gather very little in comparison to how the game would be played if we were all in the same room. The best we can hope for is for someone to show a pattern that would mark them as suspicious, for someone to do something out of the ordinary for their personality, or for the Sheriff to guess right often enough that we get an advantage. And hopefully the Sheriff isn't insane.
