POTATO
Balance of power. Mafia factions don't want to kill the other mafia factions too early and let village have too much numbers. Basically they both want village dead but in the mean time they don't want to cross fire when village has sufficient numbers. Then they can go at each other once village isn't a significant problem to them.But I thought the mafia factions have to defeat one another as well. In all other games I've been in, no mafia would dare to claim mafia even to a confirmed member of the other...
Co-operating without revealing too much. Something like that.
