It's a social deduction game with no eliminations. There's 5 rounds, and in each round a party leader picks a team of people to go on a "mission" with them. Then everyone votes on if they like the team selected. If they do, that team goes on a "mission" where they have to pick to "succeed" or "fail" the mission. If even one person selects fail, then the mission fails.
The good team needs to figure out who the rest of their players are and take only them on the missions so that they can get to 3 succeeded missions. The bad team is obviously trying to get them to fail 3 missions. A good player who goes on a mission can only select to succeed, but a player on the evil team can pick to either bluff by helping the good team get through that mission, or sabotaging it.
It's a really fun game and the no elimination aspect can make it more fun for some groups than Mafia! Would recommend.
I believe Koba was saying we should play it like The Resistance by voting up our "preferred" council members early. Because a big part of that game is analysing which team each team leader proposes when it is there turn to pick who goes on a mission. I guess they suggested it here because we could later use that to see if there's any potential partner equity? However we can't really do that in this setup because if everyone does that we may lock in a council early that we end up not actually liking.
this seems kinda like secret hitler (which taylor swift and i played during marathon weekend) but with more people being part of the mission.

so if i'm understanding correctly, the proposed plan is to each suggest three names and then collectively decide who is towniest and run with their possibly adjusted list?
probably don't want to accidentally hammer the council either so using placeholders for HEAL: seems wise

I have a feeling we will be able to consistently get 2 townies into the council, but really we need 3 otherwise the abilities are useless

i meant for the proposed lists. like if we're all just using heal tags for the lists before we decide who is towniest don't we usually end up hammering people onto the council?

Well we could vote for 1 person at a time? Then once one person gets hammered we use that to guide us?

but then we lose the information from having the lists beforehand. like everyone proposes three > decide who is towniest makes sense to me, but need to just bold them or something to avoid hammering council.

something like that.

Honestly, shouldn't be any harder than anything else we keep track of. We're able to spot patterns and recognise if some names are seen more than others.

It's better than nothing, still provides some analysis.
I don't know if that's actually true, but I figured it made sense enough

Hey, I'm always voting myself for leader.
I have aspirations damnit!

But then everyone will do that right?
Maybe you can be allowed to hammer yourself as leader?

Probably, which then comes down to people compromising and allowing their town reads to go forth and be elected.
In theory we should get some good associatives and townreads and stuff.

yeah it's not too difficult to compile from the thread (see below). took all of the votes and the ones otherwise bolded in the thread.

well because the nature of how we are doing this. like if we each select three names, and then decide who is the towniest, we vote the towniest onto the council, yes? so it should really be two names in addition to one's own.

For now at least, later on I would hope to see more heavily TR'd players getting nominations and it could be telling of scum if they keep pushing themselves.

Isn't this the same as voting for the council directly?
I thought we were picking a single mission leader who would then figure out who to bring along.

The information will still be useful, someone like me for example would likely use the information to help build a council/away team.

we are, yes. but we want the information from each player's proposed council as well. so if everyone proposes a council, then we select a mission leader (whoever is towniest), that player is on the council so their council would be formed from the other two players on their list, in theory. that's why i suggest bold, since we are trying to choose one player, while also gaining the knowledge of what everyone's council would be if chosen.
