Detectives and Criminals II

over 5 years

Version II: (long live jfk, death to dethy edition)

Simple forum game I am testing for 8 people!

The players are secretly divided between 4 anonymous detectives and 4 criminals. All criminals know identity of the The Mole (who wins as a criminal, but appears as a detective), and all detectives know the identity of The Informant (who wins as a detective, but appears to be a criminal), but nothing else.

A suitcase containing millions of dollars starts the game lying on the ground. 24 hours after the game beings, someone can say they want to grab the suitcase.

When someone has the suitcase, their alignment will be revealed, and they will have 24 hours to pass it to another player whose role is still unknown. When that player recieves the suitcase, their alignment is revealed and they must pass it to someone in 24 hours... etc.

All normal detectives will be revealed as detectives, and normal criminals will be revealed as criminals. However, since The Informant and The Mole are sneaks, the Informant will be revealed as a criminal even though he is sided with the detectives, and The Mole will be revealed as a detective even though he is sided with the criminals.

The detectives win if 3 detectives and the Mole are revealed and the criminals fail to guess the Informant. The criminals win if 3 criminals and the Informant is revealed and the detectives fail to guess the Mole.

The winning team absconds with the suitcase with all the cash inside.

Post below if you would like to play!

well if detectives get the case to the Mole, then the detectives have a last chance to guess who the Informant is and if they do they win

i happen to agree with Matt that all the detectives revealed so far are real and now we need the Mole....

Hatrium outing as det isn't surprising, but part of me feels like they could have done that as the Mole in order to not be picked

BluestVillager uh they don't talk enough?

Okiedokes' lines are few and sparse.. they asked for the case too so like? i'm guessing they are a normal criminal

Chanman is hard to read.. he could be Mole as well

matt i still heavy suspect you as being the mole, you seem like you're trying way too hard to play the innocent card

also i've asked you a thousand times why you gave lelmoo the case despite thinking they were a criminal and everytime you evade the question or ignore me entirely

and PLEASE dont say "real detectives will know i'm a detective" or "look closely at my messages" cuz that means absolutely nothing




This is fair. You're basically confirmed detective due to a set of aforementioned reasons. Maybe my hints are more subtle than I thought. Which I guess is good, cause if i'm too elaborate then criminals will pick up on something they don't need to know.

tbh i'm pretty sure that the last person that will flip detective is the damn mole and we're actually in a shit position cause we only have a 25% chance of hitting them.
