SPYFALL 2 PART 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

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

(name viciously stolen from comrade Katyusha)

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 5.

I must apologise for the confusion, but as the brilliant creative geniuses we are, we have duped you all.

Spyfall Part #3 was not the finale.
Spyfall Part #4 was an Alternate-Universe situation.
Welcome... to the true finale of our epic trilogy.

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

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.

ASKS THE FIRST QUESTION

[Inferno390]

Ego
Nice on the first question!

@N_M: How do you like the food here?

[Not_Mafia]

It's not the best but it will do

@IcemanCH, been here long?

[IcemanCh]

I've been here for awhile.

@Not_Mafia

How do you pass the time?

[the worst]

yo @IcemanCh please ask someone else a question-- strictly speaking we shouldn't allow questions to be asked back to the person who asked you a question

[BuJaber]

My opinion is this should be a strictly enforces rule.
It is in the official rules for a reason. It can unfairly break the game.

Hope I'm not out of line for posting here

[the worst]

Nah you're fine. no problems. I'll pm IcemanCh.

[Something_Smart]

Don't see how it could break the game but it can definitely be annoying.

[IcemanCh]

Sorry guys. Thought I was asking someone else.

@Irrelephant11

How do you pass your time here?

[Irrelephant11]

I hang out with my friends, mostly

@Something_Smart

Do you do any kind of work here?

[Something_Smart]

@Something_Smart

Do you do any kind of work here?

Yes, but it's not bad when things are going well.

Mathdino, what are you writing there?

[Mathdino]

Just taking some notes so I don't forget!

@brassherald:

How'd you get here?

[brassherald]

In the literal sense, I drove today, in the bigger sense I was hired.

@Not_Mafia

have you chosen a group yet?

[Not_Mafia]

I'm just trying to keep myself to myself

@Iconeum

Are you comfortable here?

[Iconeum]

I'm just trying to keep myself to myself

@Iconeum

Are you comfortable here?

Not really, but I'm just dropping by so I won't be here long.

@Math, how long will you be here?

[Irrelephant11]

Already developing reads on some players. I'm curious if there are any approved-by-play methods or timelines to sharing these.

@MOD

Please direct me to the deadline.

[Something_Smart]

You should definitely keep your reads close to your chest, as sharing them gives a huge amount of information to the spy.
The proper time to share them is... never, really. Just work on them privately and use them to inform who you ask and who you eventually vote (but if someone gives a blatant spy answer, don't immediately vote them or indicate that that's why you voted them because that gives information too).

[Mathdino]

@Iconeum: Basically until my work is finished.

@Inferno: How do you like the people here?

[Inferno390]

@Math: They're fine enough as long as they remember who's boss.

@Iceman: What sort of work do they have you doing around here?

[Mathdino]

@Iceman: What sort of work do they have you doing around here?

wat.

@MOD

Please direct me to the deadline.

Howdy Irrelephant. Basically we play via popcorn questioning with ~48 hours to reply. We originally had deadlines but it was noted town auto-wins by running it out.

Basically I'm watching always and will only implement a deadline if it drags out too much.
