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!

Question, on the game board, why was it changed to ball?
Also, If one team get all people shown, and the other side gets the informant/mole, does the other team win, or is it a draw?

Yeah I'll replace her soon if she isn't using the alexandra account for this game.

POD might also be replaced if he doesn't pop on.

I'll grab the suitcase if nobody else wants.
I am not taking it right now.
I am taking it at the end of the day if nobody else opts for it.

I assume either

A. You didn't read my lines
B. You read my lines and are clueless
C. You're a criminal.

Right now C is most likely in your case.

Yes! The case can now be grabbed.
Simply say you want to grab the case to snatch it from our resident bystander/alternate.

And now we play the waiting game to see who grabs the case...
