Being a host migth be laborious task  (I mean a GOOD host) but playing a game means you have to use your brain to succeed.  You have to read as many players as you can, figure out the potentials of the setup, decide how to use your role to best of the town's benefit.  Convince others to lynch scum, or manipulate scum.  You need to be avoid being lynched if it ever comes to that.  You need to separate playstyles from alignments.  You need to decide what to do with the information you discover.  You need to think, analyze, process, double check.

Being town is not easy if you expect the game to be handed on your lap.  Winning as town requires most of the town to agree.  Mafia just needs to survive hoping the game is not broken.

Most people don't do any of these things.

Hence, the usual amount of failure.
If everyone was me, we'd ALWAYS win!
But you'd also ALWAYS LOSE!
But it would'nt be MY fault! ... wait... yes it would  :P

mmm maybe I can just say that the setup was broken...

It balances out in the end.
Nope... I win (town) much more than I lose (scum) because there's more me (town) than me (scum)

I'd clearly get better than myself, so scum me would know what town me was looking for, and I would be impossible to find, other than through power roles.

But by law you must die on the first day or first night. So you'd just constantly draw due to everyone being dead.
I'd argue so well that no one would be lynched.

Bay 12 Mafia too would probably be quite role heavy, although not bastard.  I can guarentee no confirmed townies, at aleast.
Woo!

I'll place Vote Mafia 5 into the Queue. It'll be the first time one of my games made it past the 4-game barrier.

... Man, that means I'll have to bring a DF Mafia back. Sooo many rewrites...

I like well-thought out and interesting roles or roles that are quirky, hilarious, or just plain CRAZY (See Chaos on #mafia), I prefer a closed setup, a fun game, a well-made Bastard or Semi-Bastard (See DOGM1, DOGM2, Rysith's), and Role heavy (I enjoy having the ability to make things crazy).

I play maybe 1 or 2 at a time now.

On another note, I might want someone to help balance Second Chance 2.
