Detectives and Criminals II

about 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!

because I questioned him.

Look, if all criminals get the briefcases, i'm positive I can convince you that I am a detective and not the mole.

i suppose that is true that if QRSTUV really is the mole then he probz wouldve FOOKED his team cuz we wouldve voted for him but if they got the case around all the crims then guessed the informant they still coulda won

You put your team in an unfavorable spot if you're mole and I don't think you did that.

Any one of my 4 options could have been the Mole from my pov (aside from the Informant who i know) so i dont see why matt and Luminary are jumping on my case so much. Even if crims get their hands on the cases first, we still have good odds of guessing the Mole in the end


relax. I still think you're good.
about 5 years
Yeah and what's your point?
about 5 years
The thing is if all 3 of us are detectives then hs knows the mole and so does last criminal.
