Recap of this week! Setups in spoilers

Game One


Game Two



Game Three


Game Four
Sparkles drew cop with a N0 (Night 0) green on Thunal. Thunal was godfather. Made and Daisy were goons.

Made was formalled and received no votes Daisy was formalled and received no votes, compromise was formalled and everyone but Sparkles voted for it (sparkles would've won by voting for it). Daisy was killed at random as time in the day had run out. D2 Made was killed which resulted in a Sparkles win. I don't have a picture of this one cause I didn't do stats for it.


Some interesting stats from the first three games today! There were 15 formals made, 6 of which resulted in a TK. Town made fourteen of those 15 formals and seconded nine, while mafia made one formal and seconded seven. Town collectively voted correctly (voted on mafia or no voted on town) 32 out of 51 times (62.7%), collectively no voted town 18/31 times (58.1%) and collectively voted for mafia 14/20 times (70%).

Wrapped for this week, we’ll play again next Saturday at 5pm est

Sweet! Thanks for the reminder for headphones, as I don't usually use them. Also question: how can I tell who is joining each week? I assume the poll above isn't exactly accurate.

Yeah, it isn’t lol. Attendance varies week to week, we don’t really know for sure who will be there until we’re in the zoom playing. Thunal has made it every week I believe, outside of her we’ve had a rotating cast of characters based on who’s available and not sick that week.

Yep, tomorrow at 5 eastern! Zoom should work in your browser, having headphones or ear buds makes life a lot easier, other than that just bring yourself and you should be good to go!

Amendment: next week’s games will start at 5pm EST

Next week we’ll be playing Saturday at 7pm EST

It’s possible I’m remembering wrong and that is what I did!

It’s a scheme that a guy named Flavor came up with, there’s a bunch of different variations to it. We played 9 or 10 of these on 451, and ive run them as text turbos with another group too, they’re pretty fun and once you adjust to the slightly different goal structure it’s a pretty good game.

Compromise is a three player game with many variations. We played three versions—the first one is a stripped down basic version with two factions (red and blue in this case), each player has a 50/50 chance to be either faction. This was basically just to get the feel of the game.

Then a version with six possible roles—town cop, 2 VT, mafia godfather, two goons.

And lastly a version with eleven possible roles—town cop (checks mafia/not mafia), town seer (checks werewolf/not werewolf), three VT*, a mafia godfather (checks as not mafia to cop), two goons, an alpha werewolf (checks as not werewolf to seer), and two werewolves.


Nobody is told their teammates or if they have teammates. If you are a majority faction, your goal is to kill the minority. If you are a minority, your goal is to not die. If everyone is the same faction, your goal is to unanimously vote for a compromise—if you kill anyone you all lose. In the three faction version if you’re 1-1-1 you win by compromising as well.



*in games with a hammer it’s two VTs and a super saint (kills the player who hammers them), but the way we play doesn’t have hammers so I just made it a third VT instead.

Maybe you’ll be able to drop in for a bit next weekend!

We’ll be running games same time next week!

Someone slept through an alarm, but we’ll be up and running in ~5 minutes!

Do any of you mind if I use the video mafia game as the speech event? I was going to use the Christmas game until I realized I missed the participation bit of it. Derp. Basically it would just be looking at the speech interaction to kind of learn about the community.

Either way, I'm in for the game.

I’d be very OK with that and think it would be pretty cool!

We’ll go with a 1pm EST start time on Saturday January 9. All are welcome!

We’re going to try Saturday afternoon EST next week, exact time will be firmed up tomorrow most likely, suggestions welcome in the mean time.

Reminder that we’re playing in about 25.5 hours!

smh smh

I know I’m sorry

If there’s a week I don’t have to work I’ll run stuff earlier.

I think the biggest game we played was 7 players, most games took 15-20 minutes I’d estimate. The goal is to keep things moving while not having super rushed day phases, I think that’s the most fun way to play usually.

Big thank you to everyone who played! We’ll be playing again next Sunday at 8 eastern, I hope most or all of you can make it!
