RETURN OF THE UNDISCLOSED NON-SPY FACTION

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

NB:

the below flavour is just there because I love the sound of my own voice!
This is a standalone & easy-to-learn game, and there are no requirements to play.
If you have any specific mechanics questions or want to play in another round, please check out the General Spyfall Thread! (aka. where TW pretends to be a listmod )

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome, citizens of the Mish Mash, to Spyfall Part 6.

Luke Skywalker (BuJaber) battles horrible Jabba the Hut (the worst) and cruel Darth Vader (northsidegal) to save his comrades in the Rebel Alliance and triumph over the Galactic Empire. Han Solo (Irrelephant11) and Princess Leia (brassherald) reaffirm their

love

MafiaScum friendship and team with Chewbacca (NicoRobin), Lando Calrissian (Invisibility), the Ewoks and the androids C-3PO (Iconeum) and R2-D2 (Inferno390) to aid in the disruption of the Dark Side and the defeat of the evil emperor (probably katyusha or mathdino ig).

So what is Spyfall?

Stolen from Beefster

Spoiler: THE BASICS

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.

Spoiler: 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 any moderator deadline is set and then 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.

Spoiler: SAMPLE PLAY

Suppose it is Alice's turn to ask a question and the location is the zoo.

@Bob: How do you deal with all the loud noises?

@Bob: How do you deal with all the loud noises?

I usually just tune them out or go somewhere else.

@Carol: How much do you get paid for working here?

I think Bob is the spy
VOTE: Bob

Suppose Carol is one of the animals

@Carol: How much do you get paid for working here?

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

@Dave: What is your favorite food?

I am the spy and I think the location is the zoo.

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

@mod, Can I just have 6 guesses to find the spy?

Please, be my guest.

Iconeum is actually v/la.

If Nico wants to shoot a question at someone else instead, I'll permit it.

sp00ky illuminati nsg is indeed the spy

and wins!! congratulations to nsg

How do ppl feel the 20 question list went?

@town--was it more interesting balancing discretion while still crumbing that you knew the location?

@mason buddy--was it too easy?

[the worst]

I think it's too hard as town, though I don't think our town took into account the absolute necessity to misdirect and be vague. I also think it changes the most likely win condition for town from "vote for spy" to "get spy to say the wrong location", which I personally didn't realize till we lost. If we had collectively played the beach or a submarine, for example, we likely would have won. Hard to communicate that in game though, obviously.

@MOD: I don't want to be that person, but is nsg's win legitimate given how she asked a question out of turn? Regardless, I think she would have won, but that feels pretty cheap in retrospect.

I was a rock, btw.

The "anyone seem fishy?" question?
If so yes it's legitimate. I would discourage directly asking players questions out of turn, but questions as a general discussion point to everyone are fine..

[the worst]

@mason buddy--was it too easy?

Not sure how much the answer to this question actually relates to the 20 location version.

100%ly, do you think having a list of only 20 questions makes playing spy too easy? or is it more of a challenge being certain?

[the worst]

I feel like having the available list makes it so much easier for the spy?

whatcha thinkin rc?

[the worst]

That"s a nice take. List of locations is just carried over from irl spyfall.

Anyone have any objections to trialling that?

[the worst]

It is p scumsided atm but yeah using the full location list risks becoming boring for the spy (its just a massive poe exercise unless town is literal fire emoji)

I'd be keen to try Spyfall a la RC

[the worst]

I feel like that might cripple the fun for the Spy
Also makes it very very hard for them to win since there'd be no "pattern" in Q&As

[the worst]

I'm kinda with you there, Ico and Buj. It is probably pro town play to have a couple of rounds of silently cycling questions and answers between ALL players and just asking and answering with '3 degrees of separation' shit. Ideally the spy will be so flustered, when you look back on their answers you'll nail em.

[the worst]

Oh. Yeah that question was amazing.
