This is the official thread for the co-operation and deception anniversary game. Pre-registration was here, and is now closed.

To summarize:

• Each player is given a character/role card
• Each player goal is to deduct/guess other's role via any mean necessary
• Communication, alliance, betrayal, lies, etc. are encouraged
• Straight-up role sharing is not encouraged, each player is expected to try their hardest to win the game. I will not enforce this, but please keep it interesting and don't ruin the game for others
• Please keep the game self-contained (e.g no MD item/etc trading for info). Trading the final rewards you may obtain is encouraged however. But so does betraying that promise
• Each player, at the start of the game, is required to make three statements relevant to the game, rules detailed below

Rule for statements:

• All statements must be relevant to the game
• One statement must be true, one statement must be false, and the final, can be either
• Each player statement must reflect their character knowledge at the start of the game. Any information you may have gained from others cannot be used
• Statements cannot be obviously true or false. Saying "I'm one of the characters listed" is illegal
• You must be able to identify the true and false statements that you gave, precisely. Stating a contradiction is fine, but you must be able to tell which is true or false (so no making statements which one must be true and one must be false, but you don't know which is which). The "either" statement does not have to follow this rule, so you can make one that you don't know if it's true or false.
• General role-related statements are allowed and encouraged (e.g My role commands great power). But they must be made in good faith, and cannot be contestable
• Making your statement cryptic is encouraged, but again, must be in good faith, and cannot be contestable
• Statements should be given ASAP. Failure to give your statement within the first 7 days will result in disqualification
• If you are unsure, feel free to send me a DM of your statements for opinions and approval

Players (11 total):

• Aia
• Lashtal

Note: The list of character was pre-determined, and roles were assigned via a random number generator. The roles were subjective, but the assignment was not. This is to avoid any possibility that you may try to reverse engineer my mind

Reward: Due to the high probability of ties, the game shall operate on a "point" system. These points can be used to purchase your rewards at the end of the game. Points can be traded to other players freely, as part of agreements during games . Point trading also work on an honor system, and must be acknowledged by both parties at the end.

Points:

• All participants will receive 3 points regardless of their placement
• All participants who deducted more than half will be rewarded an extra 2 points
• The rewards for the top players shall be as follow: 18 / 15 / 12 / 4
• If multiple people draw for the top spot, the points that those positions gave out will be summed up and divided equally (e.g if 3-6th draw (12 + 4) / 4 = 4 each)

Reward shop:

• Anni creature: 15 points - Traded points cannot be used (must won at least 15 points via the game). Special exceptions may be given in case of draws.
• Plushies: 1 point - Limit of 8
• 2 Silver coins: 1 point
• Ghost spellstone: 1 point - Limit of 2
• Toadspeech spellstone: 1 point - Limit of 2
• Acoustic remains spellstone: 1 point - Limit of 2

May I have a clarification on the difference between the queen and the empress? 

Edited April 20, 20206 yr by Tissy

Also, do we have statements from Dark Demon?

ah, we do, I'll update it now. Only Mirus statement is missing, tryin to track him down

Queen and Empress differs on wordings, perhaps. Empress, would be a more clear-cut position of power, whereas a Queen is more ambiguous. A Queen may rule, or may just be the King's wife.

One is also a chess piece, whereas the other is not

 

Mirus was disqualified due to inactivity/not giving statements

To compensate for other players, I shall name three statement in his place:

• I am a man of great status
• My richness knows no bound
• Soldiers bow before me

Are you able to exchange statements? Or that’s all about Mirus?

exchange? well, you are supposed to talk and figuring out who everyone is...

and those are about mirus

We would exchange some general information to narrow down the options. 
as there would no further communication with Mirus’ role, would you share more information about this role. Such as how many statements are true or false? It’s male or female. Otherwise with or without these statements doesn’t make difference. 

I purposefully choose some more revealing statements, so that'd be easier to narrow. I'll also add 1 is true, 1 is false, and 1 is leaning true.

So 11, players and 14 roles.

May we know which roles were NOT assigned?

The not assigned roles are meant for lies, deception and faking, so no.

When is the deadline to submit the result? 

I'll extend the submission for a week after anniversary, use the time wisely. I shall collect and announce the result immediately afterwards, and failure to submit before the announcement is well, forfeiture

well, this is a bit late, since I did have a lot to do. Sorry!

I'll tally up the point sometimes within the next few days, but here are the official role list!

Aia            -        Captain
Lashtal        -        Bishop
Ledah        -        Queen
Dark Demon    -        Peasant
Tissy        -        Footsoldier
Ailith        -        Servant
Sunfire        -        Jester
Aelis        -        Princess
Jakubhi        -        Empress
Mirus        -        Merchant
Steno        -        King
Knight
Priestess
General

 

Special note to Aia, as she managed to deceive all submission thus far, despite listing her role as the truth statement!

Also special note to Aelis, whose guesses were quite... close to the mark, but ever so far!

Edited May 14, 20206 yr by Demonic God

I see you have a knack for gender bender...Queen Ledah and Princess Aelis, huh

I blame random.org

Edited May 31, 20206 yr by Demonic God

Thanks DG

Interesting that I found all the roles we had communication with went to the wrong place eventually...

(I exchanged more info with lashtal, Aia, jakubhi, Steno. but I decided lashtal's role before the exchange)

But I'm still confused about your statement on Mirus. which one is true?

it's 6 points for each right?

I would prefer spell stones and plushies. 1 of each spell and 3 plushies.

Nope, you, Steno and Ailith each have 18 points to spend. This was engineered so the top places can get an anni if they choose to.

For mirus:

• I am a man of great status - Purposely ambiguous, a merchant may or may not be seen as a great status
• My richness knows no bound - This would be true, referring to wealth in general. A merchant can safely be associated with great wealth
• Soldiers bow before me - False. This statement implies a position over the military.

I would like 8 plushies, 2 acoustic remains, 2 toadspeech,  2 ghost, and 8 silver.

 

I would like to add that I am most in favor of the way you have set-up the reward system for this quest.
