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.

I'll probably use the same rules as this game unless you wanna tweak anything.

Maybe (?) Try ten players instead of eight?

yeah that'd be amazing matt tbh

kaito, I wonder if the person passing the suitcase should be dm'd the player they'd passed to's role??

that might be an interesting twist but idk how much more the complexity should be increased

Sam, would you like to play your own game?
I could host the next edition of it if you want.

I'd also pre in the other 6 players besides villager cause she flaked twice

im pretty sure that majority will think that it's nice cuz it allows the person with the suitcase to be able to strategise and gauge what faction a person belongs to based on their reactions

but PERSONALLY i dont like it cuz it causes me STRESS and ANXIETY and i'd rather it go back to the original format of the suitcase immediately revealing the role

cuz you could spend ages wondering who should get the case and even when you pass it, not even know what role they are and if you made the right choice until THEY pass it

yeah basically what HighSpace said.

what puzzles do is force everyone to out at the same time, which pretty much decreases the win probability for mole/info from 75% to somewhere around 25% (using guesstimation)

I need to think about if it's gamebreaking. I think if that strat gives better odds for a team to win by guessing instead of getting the suitcase 4x, it might have weird effects.

maybe the meta of the game will turn into trying to be the team that gets to guess

the puzzle does take away from the 'scumhunting' part of the game which is eh

Hatrium

I'm not sure. The detectives should've at least done some scumhunting to give the informant a better shot at guessing the mole correctly

Sam, is the puzzle strategy game breaking?

If so if you run another game of this, I won't employ that strategy.

Lelmoo, who was chosen, was the informant!
The Criminals (Hatrium, Okiedokes, Matt, and TheBluestVillager) managed to get away with the suitcase and win the game.

Matt has passed the case to Kaito! Since all four detectives have been passed to, the criminals must vote on who they think the informant is if they want to snatch the case.

But I decided that people akin to your alignment should get the case later rather than earlier because there's bigger chances for the opposing team to mess up initially.
