I like the Nothing Prevents It clause the best. The idea is that the Mafia wants to Kill everyone else in the game, and once things are at 50% that's usually a done deal, but certain mechanics can make that not as foregone If not Nothing Prevents It though i prefer Mafia to have a voting majority, so >50%

^ this

I feel like the 50% rule was just shorthand for "the mafia winning is now a foregone conclusion because the town doesn't have the numbers" but that was more relevant when there were a lot less impactful roles in the game (iirc in the early games, like half the town would be vanilla). If there's any scenario remaining where the mafia COULD still be stopped, I feel like the game shouldn't end

I would bet a good amount of our mafia victories could have continued playing out and prevented the mafia from actually winning even after they reached majority. At the very least some more mafia members would’ve been killed along the way

I can assure you that was NOT the case in the last game I hosted!
