The right-wrong bias: the thought process that sometimes forms when one person campaigns heavily for one case on a person and the accused dies as town then the person who campaigned for his lynch is more likely scum. Or if the accuser dies then the accused is that much more likely to be scum.

Funny story:
The other night I was the narrator for a RL mafia game that was going on in my dorm (I have corrupted a bunch of people and gotten them hooked). There was a vig who was damn sure he knew who the godfather was N1. Despite his campaigning, he couldn't get enough support from the town to get the lynch. So he ended up killing himself N4 to make the godfather look suspicious. It worked and the godfather was lynched D5. Funniest thing I have ever seen.

I've got to admit...that move may be genius.

10. Agreement bias: the concept that someone who agrees with you is more likely town.

It worked there because they are all fairly new at this. Unfortunately, if one of our players did it we would all just dismiss it as WIFOM and disregard the whole thing.

perhaps we can shorten this to the Nagerous Bias then?
7. THe long post bias-the idea that because a post is long it is more relevant to game play (It does usually hold true but a lot of these hold true in many circumstances).

Then the surviving veterans are likely to be scum and get lynched.
