End of

Hour 6

Spoiler: Results
Vision Interpretation

Nice speed run of Hour 6, folks. (Despite me forgetting to post for several hours!)

Aristophanes & Nancy Drew 39 are correct and will have a single chance to identify their Object in Hour 7!

Clairvoyance Effects

Farren and Save the Dragons correctly approve Ari/Nancy, gaining 1 point. Save the Dragons makes it to Clairvoyance level 2!
Nexus had nothing to lose by using a disapprove vote, but also gains nothing.

Vision Interpretation

Hour 7

Image


Hour 7 is the final hour of the Reconstruction of Events. That means that the game will end after this round if all lines of inquiry are not completed this Hour. If all lines of inquiry are complete, however, then we will move on to the exciting Phase 2 - Revealing the Culprit.

You will have until (expired on 2021-06-21 04:00:00) to identify your suspect or location based on your vision. Please make your choice in bold text for clarity. You may change your answer until deadline.

Because we have one psychic remaining that is submitting for Vision Interpretation, that psychic slot should clarify if it is their
final decision
and want to end the phase early. The other remaining psychics may continue to comment during Vision Interpretation but have nothing to submit. (On the other hand, when it comes time for Clairvoyance, Nancy Drew 39 and Aristophanes will not need to submit anything.)

Okay so this is either 3 or 7 imo. Milk makes sense as the first is a place where you can buy milk and the second is a battle over a beverage, beer. Pot of Greed face or whatever that is also makes sense because the face very much resembles the one made in the first picture, though that seems weak. Also I can see the Milk Guy reacting like that to the second picture.

Imma dwell on this...

End of

Hour 7

#104 - Vision Interpretation

Spoiler: Nancy Drew & Aristophanes selected...
Image


And with this selection, all Psychics have correctly completed their respective Lines of Inquiry. Holding a Clairvoyance voting session would be a formality given that all other players only had Disapprove votes available; no further Clairvoyance is gained. Congratulations on successfully completing Phase 1 of Mysterium!

Phase 2

Shared Vision

Image



The Ghost now has (expired on 2021-06-23 16:00:00) to designate the "real" line of inquiry and prepare the shared vision, consisting of 3 total cards. One card should correspond to the Culprit suspect; one card should correspond to the Culprit's Location; one card should correspond to their Object.

Once the shared vision is prepared, the Straw Poll subphase will begin.
(1) A single vision card will be posted in the game thread. As a Level 1 Clairvoyance Psychic, Aristophanes & Nancy Drew will privately submit their vote of which line of inquiry is correct, with a 48 hour deadline.
(2) A second vision card will be revealed. As a Level 2 Clairvoyance Psychic, Save the Dragons will privately submit his vote, with a 48 hour deadline.
(3) A third vision card will be revealed. Nexus and Farren will privately submit their votes, with a 48 hour deadline.

If the correct culprit is identified by the straw poll, the group wins!

Straw Poll

Clairvoyance 1

Image


The shared vision is made up of three total cards. All of them point to a single line of inquiry, with one representing the Suspect, one the Location, and one the Object. This card was randomly selected among the three for the Clairvoyance 1 level:

Image

Artist: Zang (EPYC 3: The Return Of the Chain)


Nancy Drew 39 & Aristophanes, please privately inform me which player's line of inquiry you believe this vision card indicates. Each player's full line of inquiry is listed in the above post (#108). I am recommending that you get back to me within (expired on 2021-06-24 15:30:00). However, this is a soft deadline meant to encourage this phase of the game to be finished up within a week; if you end up needing more time, that's OK.

's line of inquiry.

The banana with the art on the walls lines up with their location (also has art on the wall).
The cheese with the knife in it lines up with their object (milk / cheese are both dairy products).
The Holmes-type investigating a sarcophagus is the most tenuous connection, but I did feel a vibe with the map in their suspect picture.

As it turns out, our psychics were unanimous in their interpretation of the shared vision. But were they correct?

Ghost Screen Google Doc

Mod Q&A


Where'd you get the idea for this?

Espeonage suggested the previous game, which was Dixit with MS Telephone Pictionary art. Following that, chamber suggested trying a similar concept but with Mysterium. I really like Mysterium so I wanted to try to make that work.

What was the basis for the suspect/location/object cards?

Suspect cards were what I focused on first and spent the most time on. I brainstormed about some scummers who are associated with a particular face (usually from their avatar.) Then it was a matter of figuring out which ones can be associated with a lot of different things and fulfill some sort of individual niche. I leaned more into the background objects with my paint.net collages than the base game does because the base game suspects tend to be more obviously affiliated with some sort of occupation or hobby and thus easier to clue. Some examples of users that were also in consideration for inspiring a Suspect card that I didn't end up including were: xRECKONERx, FakeGod, Vi, pablito, shaft.ed (there just isn't a good enough larger version of his avatar anywhere!!!), PookyTheMagicalBear, Datisi and GeorgeBailey.

Objects were my next focus and easiest. I just went with avatars because they were similarly small to the base game objects. Right off the bat, I wanted to include Raskol's and Mina's, and then collected some more over time with SleepyKrew's help.

I got stuck on what to do about Locations for months. I wondered if I could teach myself to draw in perspective so that I could draw things like the "Speakeasy User Popularity Poll" and "DrippingGoofball's art and science lab" in a similar style to the base game. An alternative was to try to convince some people who already have that skill. Ultimately, I just couldn't be bothered! So, I reached out on the MS discord asking for advice on what to do instead. I got some from Silverclaw and lilith about possibly using images from Pinterest or inspired from past meets. I ended up deciding it was fine to just use photographs. Some of the locations were themed after the mafia subforums (Coney Island, Central Park, and the last-minute-cut Mayfair Club). Some were past meet locations (the actual kitchen from Survivormeet 3; a Disney World spot; also an escape room and planetarium because I've personally been to those at meets). Finally, we had a med student's desk (inspired by lalaladucks's discussion thread about studying).

How did you choose the Telephone Pictionary art to include?

Uhhh honestly I went through every chain on the wiki and saved 300-something pictures that I thought were contenders. This time I named them by artist, game and chain title to make it easy to give credit later (learning from my Dixit mistakes where I begged Ether for help a few times because of my inability to find this info later). I narrowed that down to a 100 card deck by selecting a few cards each that I personally could see matching up to the available suspects/locations/objects. Then I think I just threw in some extra cards that I particularly like while trying to maintain some variety of artists and art styles/subjects.

Thoughts on the difficulty level of this game?

I honestly wasn't really sure whether it was going to be easier or harder than the base game. I originally tried setting it at slightly-below medium difficulty level. Then when we lost a psychic, I just left it at the medium difficulty level it turned into for a fun challenge. In hindsight, I do think the objects may have been particularly difficult in this game - some were clearly a lot easier to associate things with than others.

What surprised you the most?

I expected the psychic players to take a more collaborative approach than they did, just based on my own personal experience with the game. It still was interesting to watch and obviously worked out.
