==General Information==
A logical fallacy is a mistake in reasoning. There are a variety of types of logical fallacies. It is important for mafia players to be able to identify these mistakes, both to avoid making them themselves, and to identify what is wrong with other people's arguments. Chances are that if you think someone's arguments seem fishy, they probably fall into one of these fallacies. This list is still growing, but I hope that we can increase the level of play just by having a better understanding of the logic involved.

A logical fallacy is a mistake in reasoning. There are a variety of types of logical fallacies. It is important for mafia players to be able to identify these mistakes, both to avoid making them themselves, and to identify what is wrong with other people's arguments. Chances are that if you think someone's arguments seem fishy, they probably fall into one of these fallacies. This list is still growing, but I hope that we can increase the level of play just by having a better understanding of the logic involved.
