Spyfall - Pilot (Game Over - Spy Win)

Overview


Spyfall is a social hidden-role game. One player is secretly the spy, with all the other players having a location and a role that is relevant to the location. Players take turns asking questions to each other, trying to figure out who the spy is without revealing the location. Meanwhile, the spy is trying to figure out the location without seeming like they do not know where they are.

Gameplay


At all times, it will be some player's turn to ask a question to another player. You should address the player with an @player and bold the question with it. When you respond to a question, you should quote the question and then answer it after the quote. After the question has been answered, it is your turn to ask a question. You may address a question to anyone other than the player who addressed you.

At any time, players can cast votes using [ vote ] tags, indicating that they think the voted player is the spy. If at any point 6/8 players have voted a player, the game ends. If the player chosen by the vote is the spy, then the town wins. Otherwise, the spy wins.

At any time, the spy can declare that they are the spy and has one guess at the location. If they are correct (reasonably speaking), then the spy wins. Otherwise the town wins.

If the deadline is reached and neither of these conditions has been met, the spy has one shot to guess the location. If they guess correctly, the spy wins. Otherwise the town wins. The spy will have 24 hours to make their guess.

Unlike the face-to-face version, you will be able to talk freely about your suspicions, HOWEVER, you may not ask questions freely. Be cautious with this as it may reveal the location or your identity as the spy.

Please, no encrypted text. If you take longer than 24 hours to respond to a question addressed to you, you will be prodded.

This iteration, the game will last 1 week, but extensions will be granted if I deem them necessary.

I usually just tune them out or go somewhere else.

I don't really work. I sit around all day by myself.

@Dave: What is your favorite food?

Typically a game will go longer than this, but hopefully that gives you an idea of how this should work.

Yeah. Just 1 spy. If this goes well, I'll try 12 players with 2 spies.

I added possible locations to the opening post. One will be chosen randomly and roles will be made up to match. Random.org will be used for everything.

I see.

Anyway I have a feeling this game actually benefits from a forum format so I definitely want to try it.

Thpugh it does lose the hilarity that is usually guaranteed in the live game.
