90% win rates for one side is the sign of a broken game. I think the point is a game that has virtually guaranteed victory for one side is not really a game worth playing; it's simply not enjoyable for the person unfortunate enough to be on the losing side to face an unbeatable strategy and for their decisions or ingenuities to never matter.
Well, it depends. Assume a 5-player game and focus on Player A.
When Player A is human, the humans win 100% of the time. When Player A is a cylon, the cylons win 50% of the time. If Player A Is a cylon 1-in-5 games, you end up with a 90% win ratio for humans. Is that a sign of an unbalanced game? Or Player A's dominance in this particular group of players?
My statement was with the assumption of players of equal overall competence in the game. I thought it would be an implicit assumption, seeing as I hadn't mentioned any sort of inequality.
