Spyfall

(if you play IRL or with voice chat, you use it to keep the game moving - once times up people have the chance to make one last accusation, no more discussion)

Alconja

@Deusovi I think n_p is the spy too

thecoder16

we should try with voice chat :)

it would be interesting

discord anyone? xD

boboquack

Same-same, you know the way

n_palum

12:30 AM

I do have discord

boboquack

(I'm not sure if same, same or same-same...)

Meh, whatever

n_palum

Sesame

ffao

I do have discord, whether I should use it in the middle of the office is a different question, of course

n_palum

Oh that's right you're still at work..

It's like 830 at night here :P

thecoder16

well 5:30 here, i'm off and getting home

Deusovi

12:33 AM

@boboquack, your turn to ask a question

ffao

so now that thecoder is off, does that mean we can accuse n_p? :P

thecoder16

? i'm here

boboquack

@Alconja - Is everything going well for you?

n_palum

No because he's the spy, he can't leave

Deusovi

who hasn't had a question yet? thecoder hasn't

thecoder16

12:34 AM

meant off as in not where ffao is :P

Alconja

@boboquack For now, great. But I'll be moving on soon.

@Wen1now What do most people wear here?

Deusovi

thecoder16

lol

n_palum

Because he's the spy

Cause it's skyyyyfaaaaall

ffao

asking is overrated

n_palum

12:39 AM

@Alconja wen1 left no?

Deusovi

thecoder16

alconja ask someone else

n_palum

Deusovi

Alconja

(sorry partially afk)

thecoder16

12:42 AM

Not what ffao wears to the theater!

@n_palum what are you doing here?

n_palum

Here for a moment, then heading along

thecoder16

n_palum is definitely spy.

for sure now/

boboquack

Yep

thecoder16

any objection

n_palum

LOCATION: DAY SPA... I dunno

Deusovi

12:44 AM

I'll second that accusation.

Nope.

thecoder16

@n_palum too late :)

after we stop, you cannot guess

n_palum

Oh that's lame

Why can't I make a last second guess

ffao

you didn't stop though

Deusovi

well, we didn't stop

still, that's wrong

thecoder16

oops okay yeah

Deusovi

12:45 AM

so you lose either way

it was the embassy

thecoder16

Embassy

n_palum

Hmm that was like my third choice still

I didn't have much to go on

thecoder16

@Alconja exactly how exciting is an embassy lol

Deusovi

yeah, I'd suspected you for a while

Alconja

I'm a tourist :)

Deusovi

12:46 AM

that's what I thought

but wasn't 100% sure

boboquack

I'm a gov official

Deusovi

I was an ambassador.

thecoder16

ima secreatry

i'm off-bye!

Deusovi

yeah, I'm done for now - it was fun

thecoder16

will try this again tomorrow, yay new game

n_palum

12:47 AM

I had nothing to go on mehh

Deusovi

that's the point!

n_palum

Exciting and cloth threw me off

Deusovi

Cloth was meant to refer to flags, of course. c;

n_palum

I thought about that but the not a long stay/exciting made me think of the spa

thecoder16

True

I guess the general strategy is to go as vague as possible lol

Which makes it harder for the non spies

@Deusovi how do I make you an owner?

Deusovi

12:51 AM

the "room" button in the top right

then "control access"

boboquack

@thecoder16 What's the point?

thecoder16

None at all

boboquack

Oh, did someone end the game?

thecoder16

Yea

Feeds

thecoder16 has added Deusovi to the list of this room's owners.

n_palum

12:58 AM

I lost

boboquack

Are we starting a new game?

n_palum

I believe deus and coder left

boboquack

Ah

Wen1now

I'm ready

boboquack

Hmm... I think too late :P

There's only 3 of us here now

I suppose there's enough for Contact

Sid

5:40 AM

What is this thing?

I have tried reading the transcripts. I don't understand anything..

Wen1now

5:55 AM

Do you want me to explain?

@Sid

Sid

Yep. Go on.

Wen1now

Try click on the Join/create games here link on the side

Create a game

Click start game

Now you'll see a list of locations

Basically, how the game works is that one of the locations is the one that you are in. However, everybody knows that location except the spy

Everybody except the spy gets a role in that location, so for example Train Driver if you were on the passenger train

How the game works is everybody takes turns asking questions. The spy's job, of course, is to try and blend in

How are you so far?

Sid

So... if I am a spy, can I ask questions too?

Wen1now

Yeah, questions are asked in a specific order

Sid

Oh, got it..

Wen1now

6:04 AM

So at the start, on the link you'll see a little 1st next to who asks the first question

Then after that whoever was last asked gets to ask the next question, and they can ask anyone except who just asked them

Lastly, anybody including the spy can call STOP and make an accusation at somebody else. If there is unanimous agreement (excluding the accused) that they are a spy, then the game ends

If they were the spy, the lose and everybody wins, otherwise the spy wins and everybody loses

Sid

Ohh, got it! Nice..

Wen1now

Lastly, the spy can call STOP to guess a location. If he/she is right, they win otherwise everybody else wins

And it was established that the spy can't stop/guess after somebody else has Stopped and accused

Oh yeah, if there isn't unanimous agreement after an accusation then play continues

This game is so hard :(

Basically every answer you feel like you're giving too much away

Does anybody want a game?

Oh, wait, on a different topic, has anybody tried today's google cricket game?

@Sid @Techidiot Do you want a game?

Techidiot

Trying it now..

This game? I am going through the rules..no idea for now..

Wen1now

ping me if you need help

or if a game is starting

Sorry, I gtg soon, I should be back within an hour or two

Sid

6:35 AM

This game is hard and puzzling

Techidiot

I'm facing hard time getting it.. So, there are multiple players

One of them is a SPY

Other are assigned a location and character

Sid

Correct.

Techidiot

All of them have a list of characters and locations in the game

So, they start asking questions to each other...One at a time..and form a Q&A chain

And, they need to find the SPY.

Sid

and the spy has to avoid being caught.

Techidiot

If they are wrong identifying a spy, they lose.

Sid

6:46 AM

Apparently, Yes.

Techidiot

So, either a SPY wins or All lose

?

Sid

Or if they get the spy, spy loses.

Techidiot

And all win

Sid

... I guess?

Techidiot

Quite same as Mafia

If I have got the rules right

Sid

6:47 AM

Is Mafia another similar game?

Techidiot

Yes. . It's similar

There is a god/mod who assigns everyone with a role..

Everyone is a part of village..

They have Village/Doctor/Spy/Vigilante/Mafia roles

And they discuss, fight etc to come up with a conclusion of finding the Mafia

So, in this game - The ones who are wrongly accused of being a spy are kicked out of the game..

Sid

Spyfall will probably work only if there are more than 4 or 5 participants. Else, it would be too quick, I think.

Techidiot

This will not immediately stop the game..

The ones who are kicked out have last words to say to the rest..which can be anything like where were they or what character were they playing..and whom do they suspect..That will help others figuring out the real Spy

Sid

Don't you have to find the mafia? Why would they want to find the spy?

Techidiot

Mafia has an additional thing called "Joker" who will act like he is a Mafia and when all accuse him of being a Mafia, everyone loses and the Joker wins..

I was talking about this game..

We can bring that rule in this game..

I think the way it is working right now is - if the accusation is wrong, the game ends.. Which makes the game quite short

Sid

6:53 AM

But, here accusing requires unanimity. So, if you kick one out, you kick all out..

Techidiot

How? If they unanimously come to a decision of accusing someone of being a spy and they find out they were wrong, the one who was accused is kicked out of the game and the rest continue playing and finding the right SPY

If at the end, only 2 remain, the SPY wins..

Sid

That will be too long for a single game.

Techidiot

Yeah.. May be they can play till half of the team remains..

Less than half and the SPY wins..

Sid

That way, the spy can keep accusing everyone else. 100% chance of winning..

Techidiot

But, one wrong is quite quick..

He can't do that..

That will indicate him being a spy

And will get a unanimous positive vote

I think atleast a couple of chances should be given to all for accusing ..

MAFIA does take a really long time to finish ..

Sid

6:58 AM

Since we can ask an infinite number of questions, anyone will accuse only if they are confident. So, I guess that is the reason only a single accusation is allowed.

Another question I had, is that do we answer in character? For example, say I am a sailor, do I have to answer like a sailor does?

Techidiot

Hmm..may be it's just a start and people concluded too quickly :)

Yes. You do answer in character

No just location

If you are asked "What do you see?"

Now if you are a sailor on ship, you say, Water/People in hats

If you are a tourist on ship - you say, musicians/dolphins..

Sid

Nope, sailors talk like Captain Jack Sparrow. :P

Techidiot

You have to reveal your identity to people so that they don't accuse you..

Lol. Yeah. That works good too..

A good liar who is a SPY can play this game really well.

The thing is - It becomes difficult if the SPY gets the first question :p

Because, at that time, he/she doesn't have any idea about what characters/locations they have in the game and needs to answer that very nicely in order to avoid suspicions.

Sid

They could ask general questions like "What do you see?", etc.

Oh, they have to answer the first question? Gosh, that would be hard

Techidiot

Yeah :)

That was a reason Deus submitted

When he was a spy and was asked the first question :p

Sid

7:10 AM

Deus doesn't know how to bluff, I guess. :P

But, then, you need a context to bluff..

Techidiot
