Remember everyone, we are only playing Backgammon and Chess.

I think the premise behind the game is great, but I think that we have a breaking strategy here by limiting the options for the bad ghost.

Those games are boring though!

can't we do that other two instead because when i fail at them it's funnier than a flipped table?

That fact you're okay with going it ahead kind of proves it ain't actually broken yet.

based on the other thread, the only thing that probably needs changed to fix the breakage is the removal of the rule of if all visitors and the good ghost are in the same location the bad ghost also appears in the same location.
The rest is strategy that doesn't even make sense for people's plans.

You shut your mouth Backgammon is an awesome game.

I would not call it a breaking strategy. How does working together to try to find the ghosts break the game? The object of the game is to figure out who is who, right? How is making plans to out the ghosts not playing the game correctly or against the spirit of the game?

Anyway, the strategy only works when every player participates. Even then I'm not sure if it will prove which of the ghosts is bad or good, so I don't think that the game is broken at all.

Thank you for killing me

I'm going to

end this game

. I've received just over half of submissions across the two games, and it is clear that it is pretty broken.

My apologies. I'm glad to have tried to resurrect it, but it looks I didn't do a very good job.

you did fine it just wasn't a good game

Here is a haunted house game where you are not allowed to discuss your hiding place

viewtopic.php?f=63&t=1313&start=50

That rule changes the game completely.

There's nothing wrong with how you handled it Chevre.

My message of combining the ghosts into one I sent with my submission should still maybe work.
Probably more like Mafia as it's just an extended 3p lylo and no lynches, but interesting maybe
