Overview & Flavor Explanation Mysterium is a cooperative and asymmetric mystery solving game. Six psychic players will perform a seven hour seance with one disoriented ghost player. The ghost wants to help the psychics uncover the truth of the ghost's murder. The six psychics periodically receive flashes of insight from the ghost. Each psychic follows their own line of inquiry by first identifying a suspect and then reconstructing the suspect's activities.
If all six psychics correctly identify the suspect, location, and object for their respective lines of inquiry within the time limit, the ghost will be able to recall the killer's identity and will present the players with a final shared vision. The psychics will vote on the correct line of inquiry based on this final vision. If the culprit is correctly identified, everyone wins!
If you prefer to learn the gameplay from a video format, here is a short video that gives the gist:
Types of Cards This game uses 4 types of art cards. At the start of the game, each psychic player is randomly assigned a Suspect, Location, and Object that they will need to identify over the course of the game. The ghost will be informed of these assignments and use vision cards as clues to help the psychic players.
This game, however, uses selected Telephone Pictionary cards from MafiaScum games as its vision cards.
This game uses personalized collages for the Suspects, photographs for the Locations, and avatars for the Objects. (See the Original Post.)
Phase 1 - Reconstruction of Events Phase 1 will have up to 7 rounds that last up to a week each, also referred to as in-game hours.
Phase 1A - Ghostly Projections
The ghost player will have a hand of 7 vision cards. The ghost selects between 1 and 7 cards from their hand to assign to a psychic player of their choice. The psychic then redraws to 7 cards and selects another psychic of their choice to assign cards to. They will repeat this until all 6 psychics have been assigned at least one vision card. It is not possible to change card assignments once they have been made.
Three total times during the game, the ghost can choose to discard any or all of their vision cards to draw new ones. The mod will publicly reveal when this has occurred.
Phase 1B - Vision Interpretation
The moderator will publicly post the vision cards given to each psychic player. The psychic team has a few days to discuss this information in the game thread. Each psychic player makes the final decision about their own vision, but can use advice from other psychic players as they see fit. For Hour 1, all 6 psychic players will have a choice of 7 suspects. They will need to determine which specific suspect the ghost was trying to indicate.
Phase 1C - Clairvoyance
Psychic players are given 3 approval and 3 disapproval votes at the start of Hour 1. These refresh at Hour 4, so there is no downside to using them all up by the end of Hour 3. These votes are used to approve or disapprove of other psychics' choices after they have been finalized but before the results are revealed. If a psychic votes correctly, then their clairvoyance increases. Psychics reach clairvoyance level 2 by earning 5 points and reach level 3 by earning 7 points. Clairvoyance is helpful in Phase 2.
Phase 1D - Spectral Manifestation (End of the Hour)
During this phase, the mod will reveal on behalf of the ghost which psychics were correct. The mod will also update Clairvoyance totals. Once a psychic has identified their Suspect, they will next be receiving clues about their Location. Once they have found their Location, they must start trying to identify the correct Object.
Psychics who have completed their line of inquiry (by identifying the Suspect, Location and Object) may continue to discuss with other psychics as well as use clairvoyance votes. Psychics gain 1 point of Clairvoyance per remaining hour when their line of inquiry is completed.
Phase 1 Schedule These are the deadlines. If everything is finished early, we may proceed ahead of schedule.
Hour 1A (Ghostly Projections)- 3 real days
{Mod reveals vision cards}
Hour 1B (Vision Interpretation)- 4 real days
Hour 1C (Clairvoyance) + Hour 2A (Ghostly Projections) - 3 real days
{End of Hour 1 Results & Mod reveals new vision cards}
Hour 2B (Vision Interpretation)- 4 real days
Hour 2C (Clairvoyance) + Hour 3A (Ghostly Projections) - 3 real days
{End of Hour 2 Results & Mod reveals new vision cards}
...And so on and so forth.
Phase 2 - Revealing the Culprit This phase only occurs if all 6 psychic players completed their lines of inquiry by the end of Hour 7. (Otherwise, the game just ends in a loss after Phase 1.)
Phase 2A - Shared Vision
The ghost still has their hand of 7 ghost cards and the capability to mulligan any number of cards in their hand 3 total times during the game. The ghost designates (to the Mod) which Suspect that the ghost feels is the culprit.
The ghost selects 3 vision cards to form the shared vision. One card should correspond to the Culprit suspect; one card should correspond to the Culprit's Location; one card should correspond to their Object.
The Mod will reveal these vision cards one at a time in a random order.
Phase 2B - Straw Poll
Once the first card has been revealed, psychics at Clairvoyance Level 1 will privately message the Mod their vote for which suspect is the culprit.
Psychics at Clairvoyance Level 2 get to see two cards before submitting their vote.
Psychics at Clairvoyance Level 3 get to see all the cards before submitting their vote.
If one suspect received more votes than the others, that suspect is deemed the culprit. If there is a tie, it is broken in favor of the player with the highest Clairvoyance. If there is still a tie, it is broken in favor of the player with the oldest join date on their MS account.
Endgame
The group wins if the correct culprit is identified in the straw poll. The mod reveals the result, the game is over, and the ghost can now speak freely.
Phase 2 Schedule These are the deadlines. If everything is finished early, we will proceed ahead of schedule.
1. Ghost Determines Shared Vision - 3 real days
2. Clairvoyance Level 1 Reveal & Voting - 2 real days
3. Clairvoyance Level 2 Reveal & Voting - 2 real days
4. Clairvoyance Level 3 Reveal & Voting - 2 real days
5. Endgame
Conduct Expectations 1. This is a cooperative game, meaning you win and lose as a group. Try to enjoy the journey and treat each other with respect.
2. While the game is ongoing (after signups), the ghost should never post in the thread or otherwise verbally communicate with the psychics. The Mod will be your liaison and confidante.
3. Psychics should never try to direct the ghost's future actions. There are breaking strategies that are very much against the spirit of the game that are possible through trying to direct the ghost in this way.
4. If a psychic misses a Vision Interpretation deadline, the Mod will request for another psychic to decide on their behalf. The Mod will seek replacement for a psychic that misses two Vision Interpetation deadlines.
5. If the ghost does not meet a Ghostly Projection deadline, the deadline will likely be extended. The ghost risks replacement if there are repeated issues with activity, particularly if not communicated about effectively. It is particularly important that the ghost be consistently able to meet their deadlines to keep the game progressing. The mod will help accommodate the ghost by setting the Ghostly Projection phase to the ghost's preferred days of the week at game start.

Going to give this (expired on 2021-05-01 17:57:36) to give time for people who don't check Mish Mash regularly to hopefully find this. Will reduce the number of psychics if needed!

dsjstr will be our Ghost, and the rest of the players will be Psychics. dsjstr, please do not post in the game thread until the game is over! I will be contacting you shortly. Thank you.
The game's difficulty setting is between easy and medium for the base game. One of the locations has been removed as an option due to having one fewer psychic.
Psychics: I am going to be figuring out with the ghost about how to make the Ghostly Projections phases run smoothly, and then will update about when I expect the first Vision Interpretation phase to start. You are free to rabble in this thread in the meantime if you would like, but please be aware of conduct expectation #3.

dsjstr is no longer able to participate. Haschel Cedricson will replace him as ghost, and there will be four psychics. I will send Haschel the necessary information shortly.
If the week-based schedule I set up in the OP ends up feeling too slow in practice due to fewer players, I will adjust this later. Planning to just see how it goes at first.

It's taking a while to get the first ghost stuff completed, but my expectation is that once that hurdle is over with, this game will run smoothly. Thanks for your patience, psychics.

Hm. So for mine, I'm considering three possibilities.
1) - both the suspect and my picture have a clock in the background.
3) - both the suspect and my picture have a beverage (coffee vs. milk)
5) - the suspect's peppers make me think of the flag in my picture.

The thing in the bag / purse / ? in #1 almost looks like it could be a flag.
Between that and the clock, I think that's good enough to put in a guess.
Guess: #1

Anyone have any thoughts on approval / disapproval votes? Six votes, three phases to use them before they auto-refresh.

If everyone has a choice submitted by the original deadline of (expired on 2021-05-14 04:30:29) , we will proceed to the next phase as planned.
I want to be a bit more lenient than advertised since we're just getting started. If the original deadline isn't met, I will accept vision interpretations until (expired on 2021-05-14 23:00:00) . In this scenario, for the psychic that has not submitted yet, I would like a teammate to submit a backup guess to be used only if they still have not submitted by this second deadline.
