> ...The Resistance: Avalon, the most popular hidden role game.

I question this, because it seems more likely to me that the grade-school classics (Mafia/Werewolf) probably have The Resistance or any expansion/variant thereof beat for popularity there.

The text of the paper is a little more precise than the abstract, they picked R:A because it's "the most highly rated hidden role game on boardgamegeek.com."

Just as a player of these games, I'm curious how much weight DeepRole gives to the results of the team Proposal Votes. I find they hold a lot of useful, but hard to parse information which depends heavily on the skill/metagame of your opponents.
