Don't mistake that for me saying we need 'elitist' games. Activity-wise they're not necessarily any better than normal games. The best games have a good mix of players who know how to scumhunt and understand mafia down to a fine detail, along with players who are happy to contribute with posts and keep activity high. A few players have both of these traits.
Of course the best games of all have no (or very few) bad players at all! But yeah, you learn by doing. People need to find their own niche of how to play well, rather than copy others. For example, you would generally consider Chris, myself and Lopen amongst the best players on the board, yet none of us play mafia anything like the others.
Oh sure. But I do try and learn from everyone I play with - quite often someone will point out something I didn't see that I always keep in mind the next time around. And as you say, every good player will see things in a different way. Playing with Drak in FFT was particularly illuminating. Neon has opened my eyes several times too.
Never played with Professor Lopen as town, but I would very much like to at some point. <_<
