Dets and Crims III

over 5 years

Welcome to Detectives and Criminals III! Post below to sign up. There are some changes from the game before.

The players are secretly divided into two teams, the Detective Team and the Criminal Team.

The Detectives know the name of the Informer, who appears to be a Criminal but is actually sided with the Detectives.

The Criminals know the name of the Mole, who appears to be a Detective but is actually sided with the Criminals.

Winning

A suitcase is on the ground containing one million dollars.

The Detectives win if the 3 true Detectives and the Mole have received the suitcase without the Criminals guessing the Informer, in which case the Criminals win.

The Criminals win if the 3 true Criminals and the Informer have received the suitcase without the Detectives guessing the Mole, in which case the Detectives win.

The winning team absconds with the suitcases and gets the cash.

Grabbing the Suitcase

The suitcase starts the game in a bystander's hand. Each player will vote for who they want to receive the case first. The first player to receive four votes is the first player to have the case.

Passing the Suitcase

When holding the suitcase, your role will remain hidden. When you pass the suitcase to someone else, your role will be revealed. The Mole will be revealed as a Detective, while Informer will be revealed as a Criminal.

Ending the Game

Game ends when one team has passed the suitcase to everyone on their team. The other team will vote for who they think either the Mole or the Informant is; if there is a tie then the Mole/Informant will choose someone.

Also, I saw people saying I didn't play, I did. I just keep getting the roles where I feel it's best to stay quiet.

So I've been thinking about how this game works. So far, what most of us have been doing is pretending to be on the side of the person who has the suitcase in order to obtain it. The actual game happens within the last 3 suitcase passes when we are trying to figure out which team should be guessing for the informant/mole. Right now I'll leave this as an observation but I may expand upon this thought after more games.

As for the puzzle strategy, I think I have a way to counteract that:

The team with the suitcase passed to every member has the advantage. Once we get to the "figure out the traitor" part of the game, both teams get to guess. The team that didn't get suitcase passed around only wins if they guess traitor correctly AND the opposing team doesn't guess their own traitor correctly

it would impact claiming like so:

criminal A passes to criminal B -->
crim B can claim either det or crim

criminal A passes to det B -->
det B can only claim det
over 5 years
hmmmm

basically the trade-off would be +gratification for the person who passed the case at the cost of increasing game complexity

when i think about it i'm starting to be more against it
but it might be worth trying in another game

Sam what do you think of lum's idea
over 5 years
i will play OWo
over 5 years
yes i TOTEZ wanna play oWo

also i agree with NOT pre-enlisting bluest cuz they've actually dipped twice lol

and HOSTY that idea about the person who passes the case being DM'd the role sounds interesting cuz they'd know but nobody else, although i guess they could just reveal it publically unless there was a rule saying they COULDNt
over 5 years
Alright i'll make sign ups tomorrow

I assume Sam and Lum want to play

If anyone wants to play again then say so in this thread and i'll pre in you.
