Wrap Up I need five people for an experimental forum game!

[Keleynal]

Ooh, I get to be Orion!

It's an important part of the game to know who approves and who disapproves certain constellations...

I approve of Orion, but can do without Ursa Minor.

I'm up for this, as long as we can have sufficient time to allow cross-time-zone discussions.

No you live in upsidedown land! NO!
Well shit Jia is running this. You might get away with this!

That should be no problem!

I'll fill a spot if you come up short. I want to leave it open for others first, though.

Glad to have you join!
As I said, I've never tried this online before, so it's an experiment. And if it goes well, there will plenty of opportunity for others to give it a shot afterwards!

Now we only need one more person!

 

[REDACTED]

Put me in twice and I'll play a double-agent! ROFL

 

[Jia]

If you're reading this and haven't signed up yet: The game's not as complicated as it sounds!
I even dare say that it's fun!

 

[Jia]

I've added Tristan to the roster, so now we're full and the game will begin shortly. I'll start a new thread for the actual game, but please continue to refer to this thread if you have any questions!

 

[TIG]

let me see if I got this right:

Part 1
5 players
1 person chooses x number of players to go on a mission
all 5 players vote yes or no on whether those players get to go on the mission.
if majority yes then mission starts
if majority no then new leader pics mission members and no penalty for the game.

Part 2
once mission starts only players on mission vote succeed or fail
resistance can only vote succeed
spy can vote succeed or fail
if all vote succeed mission succeeds
if one or more vote fail then mission fails

Win conditions
3 succeeded missions and resistance wins
3 failed mission and spies wins

We are go for launch! I don't care which side wins, as long as it's mine!

Spot on! I've been using way too many words to describe this game, I think that may have been doing more harm than good. You've narrowed it down to the important parts, and you've got them absolutely right. Only a few details need to be added:


Part 1
5 players
1 person chooses x number of players to go on a mission
all 5 players vote yes or no on whether those players get to go on the mission.
if majority yes then mission starts
if majority no (or tie occurs) then new leader pics mission members and no penalty for the game.
if 5 teams are consecutively rejected, spies automatically win.

Part 2
once mission starts only players on mission vote succeed or fail
resistance can only vote succeed
spy can vote succeed or fail
if all vote succeed mission succeeds
if one or more vote fail then mission fails

Win conditions
3 succeeded missions and resistance wins
3 failed mission and spies wins
5 mission teams have been consecutively rejected: spies win.

The "x" number of players for each mission is a fixed number. Depending on how many people are playing, these numbers will vary. With five players, mission #1 will always have 2 people. Check the original post on this thread for a table with the numbers (you'll find it under Details for a game of five players).

I've created a spread sheet to keep track of people's votes and mission outcomes. I'll keep updating it with new results!

 

[tr1age]

Just curious cause I am dumb... In order to WIN... you have to have at least 3 successful missions? also if 3 people go on missions and there is 1 vote for no on success does it succeed?

 

[Jia]

Yes, if you're part of the Resistance, you need three successful missions to win.
However, if you're a Spy, you need to have three missions fail in order to win.

also if 3 people go on missions and there is 1 vote for no on success does it succeed?

As soon as someone votes "no" on a mission, the mission fails - even if the other two voted "yes".

 

[TIG]

also if 3 people go on missions and there is 1 vote for no on success does it succeed?

We can deny missions to even start by a majority vote and it doesn't count against the win loss ratio. Although if 5 missions in a row doesn't start then the spies win.
