A Closed Blind Role Madness Micro Game by Osieorb18.
A Spiritual Successor to Janken and Rock-Paper-Scissors.
Reviewed by DV and Togs.
General Rules:
Be excellent to each other.
Post at least 2 posts in the thread per 24 hours during Day phases, and at least 2 posts in any chats you are in per 24 hours during Night phases.
If you damage the continuation of the game, you damage your own continuation as a part of the game. (Be it through toxicity, inactivity, OGI, or other game sanctity issues.)
Don't make me make more rules.
Game-Specific Rules:
Scissors cuts paper
Rock crushes scissors.
Paper covers rock.
Each player chooses rock, paper, or scissors each night, and may target another player. Players may not self-target unless their role states otherwise.
If you submit actions in the last six hours of the night phase, your submission may be summarily ignored.
Players learn their alignment and a hint word but not their role or abilities.
Mafia may talk in the Factional Chat during the Day phase.
Phases are 5-day Days and 2-day Nights. There's 7 of you, that should be more than enough time for 4 people to converge on a majority vote.
Day 1 Elimination Deadline will be 10:30 AM PST on Sunday, January 3rd. Extra time is to account for New Year's. I will not do an activity check for New Year's Eve, but I will do one for New Year's Day. Blah blah blah, be good to each other and have fun, ya-di-ya-di-ya.
With 7 players, it takes 4 to eliminate by majority.
I wouldn't mind voting Grape honestly. I find Grape impossible to read. Easier to just kill him, honestly.
Normally I would roleclaim my first post, but...
Players learn their alignment and a hint word but not their role or abilities.
So it's pretty much like osieorb just designed this game to be anti-me. Which is just... So him, really.
So, how the crap does this game even work?
Each player chooses rock, paper, or scissors each night, and may target another player. Players may not self-target unless their role states otherwise.
But, so, what happens if you win? Or lose for that matter?
man, u should have stuck with your usual opener here
I don't see what the difference is, since you have your hint aka flavor? which is what you normally start off with?
I would "assume" that if you win you use your ability, and if you don't, you don't use your ability
Probably more or less the same rules as Tom's version, but I didn't read it, and reading it, doesn't help me solve this game either way
maybe it's just me? but I find town!Grape to be a bit more aggressive than wolf!Grape
Yeah that game was disgraceful by me. I've had a few of them lately but that was especially bad. Almost as bad as the team event we did a few years back.
I've had a few awesome scum wins but they are depressingly long ago. Time to change that.
Woodstock thought this was odd. How come you vote Grape as RVS but then instantly swap votes to me? Way to pick on the new kid on the block. For those not in the clique, why the Grape vote?

@Grapefruit @GJ
don't worry, that game was designed poorly anyways
Silver: "You know what would be fun? A Mafia Governor"
Silver: "You what would be even more fun? Make a Town governor as well, and they both have the loud modifier, which creates a literal dichotomy"
Thanks Silver, C for Effort
@Pikachu
it's just a semantical mistake, he doesn't role claim, he usually flavor claims in his first post, he could have at least claimed his hint word here, and built his own flavor
but ya I completely forgot he uses his own wording of the flavor in his first post as well, so now I understand what he meant by he can't really do his usual thing
you can't break an Osie game via claiming, many have tried, and many have failed
I'll take your decider claim, and give you, the angel of death. I am town as well
what a coincidence

"You must pick a side, young one." Woodstock, 2020
Because he's the same damn thing whether he's town or mafia. He just hedges constantly, and it's always SUPER susp icious.
So we're playing with an enigma? Noted. I've encountered a couple of those throughout my hijinks.
Because it sometimes breaks the game, but even when it doesn't, it's really fun.
Have you played a game where flavor-claiming broke it? (Well, probably. Duh. Otherwise you wouldn't have said it LOL) Haven't played an Osie game yet but I've known him for a bit so I'm only worried maybe someone enlightened on the scum chums could use the flavor to piece a few things together. Just my $0.02
Also, normally I HATE posting restrictions, but Pokechu's is ADORABLE. I hope he keeps it up the entirety of the game.
Awww!!
Would you look at that!! You have a fan, Woodstock! We have fans! Each other, and Highroller!
Cheers! clink
Mobile users probably hate us and our images, but we can't please everyone. You should consider joining our gang.
I actually would like to point out though that this is somewhat of a strange take. Do you think people should not read into RVS votes and posts? How else do you suggest we get the game moving? What do you usually do to contribute to the game in the early phases/D1?
you do you, I just don't hold as much stock in entrances as I once did
the zoomer thing was mostly a joke
you can argue his self vote is fake?
you can argue him swapping his vote to you right after, means something
but one thing that hasn't change though, is I don't participate in RVS, I usually find other ways to remove us from RVS
which tends to get me wolf-read a lot of the time lol
who wants to take a guess on how long Rhand lives for?
anyone?
I’m hoping one of my abilities gives me bulletproof lol.
It’s a micro, if no shenanigans happen that’s a max of 4 Days I think? (2 mislynches, 2 mafia lynches)
That means I’ll be alive for at least a quarter of the game-time. Yay!
its nothing that I can hold stock in
let's say, I think GJ's entrance looks tonally off
in about 5 pages I will forget about it, and base my read off his continuing posts
and not to mention most entrances are based off how someone feels like opening, which can be based on many things
maybe personality, excitement because of the players, their role, playing off what someone else has said, their alignment
who knows
like I could say, that Pokechu trying to find an early argument for voting Grape looks bad, BUT then they just say
"OMGUS VOTE", so I don't know
early meta read on GJ says this less comical, less trying to appease the audience with fancy stuff
looks good
last time I played with Pokechu he started with a roleplay
pretty much responded to every post with emoji's
made a full lean list rating players via emoji's
everyone yelled at him
proceeded to make a very detailed list of everyone at least in my opinion
and then proceeded to ghost the game
ended up flipping a wolf
It's fun having HR and Rhand in the game. I believe they are the two players on opposite poles when it comes to reading me. I don't think Rhand has ever not had a strong read on me by the end of D1. Doesn't mean he's been right, just always confident.
@HR there are a limited number of things to decide. I'm sure you could make a decent guess as to what they could be. Now angel of death in a bit more ambiguous.
Small town read on Wisp and HR. Minor scum ping on Rhand.

Why are you asking the town this, as if we have any clue? Why not ask Osie directly (and be brushed off)?
I'll take your decider claim, and give you, the angel of death. I am town as well
what a coincidence
You have an awesome and menacing rolename. I'm envious, and at the same time I wonder: why would you claim it? If you are town, you made yourself a NK target (I had confirmation rolenames and abilities are linked, so it's unlikely you have a *****ty role with an awesome name).
Also the "I am town as well what a coincidence" line sounds like "hello fellow youth town", but even I will admit I may be reading too much into it.
Now THIS takes the cake. It's a softball question that is too generic to have anything to do with the game at hand and cannot help determine Whispy's alignment. You might as well ask him if he likes tea or coffee.
Vote: Rhand (serious vote)
Currently leaning towards a Rhand+Whispy team making an awkward attempt at interacting.

Which of those thoughts about players are real ones?
It seems that the first GJ thought isn't how you perceived GJ since you're meta townreading him but then the next example about Pokechu does sound like a real thought.
I'm confused now.

Do I end Day 1 with a strong read on you generally? In my mind you're one of those "don't trust your read because you're often wrong" kind of players.

Pot / Kettle much? Your question to Highroller is a softball question that cannot help determine Highroller's alignment. You might as well ask him if he likes tea or coffee. And then you answer it yourself.
There's nothing wrong with keeping conversation going in RVS and you know it.
I'm totally gonna be accused of OMGUS now. And of self-consciousness because I know I'm gonna be accused of OMGUS. And of self-consciousness because I know I'm gonna be accused of self-consciousness. And of.... AAAAARGH it's inception.

Anyways, this attack is not a good look for ZDS.
Vote: ZeDorkSlipeur
(I cut down the initial quote to prevent wall-ism)
I disagree. HR seemed like he was trying to start some pointless speculation, which is scummy because it dilutes the useful info/useless chatter ratio. Then he repented (so to speak) by implying he did ask the mod and dropping the public question entirely — which proved me wrong and, at the same time, made him more townie.
There is nothing useless in poking to make sure.
I also disagree with regards to "keeping conversation going". It all depends on what conversation. We could discuss our favourite hot caffeinated drink until deadline if we wanted. Me voting you and you voting me is far more worth discussing.
Anyway, since when are you self-conscious about OMGUSing? You weren't like that in Matter, iirc (I need to check).
Anyway, since when are you self-conscious about OMGUSing? You weren't like that in Matter, iirc (I need to check).
I did check and I'm dropping that point.
In Matter (where we were both town), we had a superficially similar situation where I started suspecting Rhand and he reacted negatively to the attack, but the context was too different. In that game Rhand had an early town read on me that never seemed to completely go away even after/while I made a wrong-headed push on him. That initial context matters and is missing here, so .
I thought OMGUS was a sign of wolfRhand, remembering a few games, but I have seen him flip town in a few of them as well.
I know back in the old days where ZDS wasn't one of the older players around, OMGUS was typically a wolf read, but I think it's more of a player thing. It's a mindset I was actually occasionally in until post playstation.
As far as my entrance, I feel like I am always awkward in RVS. This one in particular, I almost feel like treating it like a turbo, where I just ***** post until the last few hours (translation to mtgs) and then find bad people.

The other difference in context is that there are only 2 mislynches in this game, vs at least 4 in matters. Player size matters.
Rhand, wisp, and ZDS seem serious. Everyone else seems silly. I don't know what to do.
I do appreciate whatever Pokechu is doing as an RP, and that I can follow it.
OMGUS can be a natural adverse reaction to what you feel is an unfair attack, or it can be a calculated attempt to discredit both the attack and the attacker.
Which one do you think Rhand is doing?
I'm not going to jump at your throat if I don't like your answer... as long as you actually commit to a stance and stop the "on the one hand this, on the other hand that" dance.

Are you really telling me to not be hedgey on post 39?
Gun to my head, natural adverse action. Especially this early. I don't think it's a serious attempt to discredit this early into it, especially when you have at least one player claiming a town read on you.
Ohh no he said
"I am town too, what a coincidence"
Das ist so fake
Kek
My first post wasn't even a read on GJ, it was literally me making a statement. And I'm not omnipotent here, I'm finna have thoughts on people's entrances, I'm just not going to hold much weight on them. Or if I do, it will be mostly townie reads, since they are easier to find
Rhand looks worse because he shut down Grape's thoughts with, "No it's not", in regards to ZDS's post, instead of writing anything meaningful to attack it with, feels less like trying to solve and more like trying to shade

I am with Rhand on this one. I don't really get what was solid about it. I have asked far more "softball" questions as either alignment. I don't actually like Grape barning that.
And you are omnipotent when it comes to reading me :(. Or so you claim. When I am less lazy, I will go find the game where you first started doing that.

ohh ya u are right, I got u mixed up
you played a good gamn there
and yes, that is me
@ZDS look at Wisp’s answers and tell me again how my question isn’t game related? It is just as much game related as asking someone why they didn’t ask the mod a question.
I still don’t get why you post both the question and the answer in one post rather than deleting the question when you see it’s answered.

I’m pretty sure the bolded means ZDS and GJ are unaligned.

Note to self. ZDS, if we are ever partners, we just need to tickle each other chins and if one goes down, the other is insta locked
I would like to see your own answer to it as well.
I mean, considering his vote on you, hasn't he already answered this question? o-0
I don't think ZDS is a wolf off of this. I can't really expand this idea further, but he reminds me of me (arrogant bastard that I am).
Of the whole page 1, I probably like Grape the least so far.
My feeling is that mafia!ZDS saw town!Grape say he had a light scum ping on me and figured that a push in my direction would get a following.
If anything, I got the opposite response. TownZDS thought he found something, and grape decided for an early barn. He is pushing me because he thinks I look hedgey, which is absurd this early, but he is using me as a sounding board which reads more townie to me.
My brain hurts. I have been spending the last 30 minutes, trying to talk poker with morons who want to raise pre, play fit or fold, hit the backdoor flush and trying to find a fold. Really ******* annoying.
@GJ
ya well, you also didn't say, "No it isn't?"
there are townier ways to disagree with opinions outside just straight up attacking them without giving your thoughts,
now if had asked grape why he thought that, while excluding the shade, my opinion would be different, hence why I don't hate the fact that you disagree
not particularly keen on what you have been doing so far though
but it's still early in the day

You have an awesome and menacing rolename. I'm envious, and at the same time I wonder: why would you claim it? If you are town, you made yourself a NK target (I had confirmation rolenames and abilities are linked, so it's unlikely you have a *****ty role with an awesome name).
Also the "I am town as well what a coincidence" line sounds like "hello fellow
youthtown", but even I will admit I may be reading too much into it.Now THIS takes the cake. It's a softball question that is too generic to have anything to do with the game at hand and cannot help determine Whispy's alignment. You might as well ask him if he likes tea or coffee.
Vote: Rhand (serious vote)
Currently leaning towards a Rhand+Whispy team making an awkward attempt at interacting.
Which of those thoughts about players are real ones?
It seems that the first GJ thought isn't how you perceived GJ since you're meta townreading him but then the next example about Pokechu does sound like a real thought.
I'm confused now.
Do I end Day 1 with a strong read on you generally? In my mind you're one of those "don't trust your read because you're often wrong" kind of players.
Pot / Kettle much? Your question to Highroller is a softball question that cannot help determine Highroller's alignment. You might as well ask him if he likes tea or coffee. And then you answer it yourself.
There's nothing wrong with keeping conversation going in RVS and you know it.
I'm totally gonna be accused of OMGUS now. And of self-consciousness because I know I'm gonna be accused of OMGUS. And of self-consciousness because I know I'm gonna be accused of self-consciousness. And of.... AAAAARGH it's inception.
Anyways, this attack is not a good look for ZDS.

No it isn't?
What is "solid" in that post?
(I cut down the initial quote to prevent wall-ism)
I disagree. HR seemed like he was trying to start some pointless speculation, which is scummy because it dilutes the useful info/useless chatter ratio. Then he repented (so to speak) by implying he did ask the mod and dropping the public question entirely — which proved me wrong and, at the same time, made him more townie.
There is nothing useless in poking to make sure.
I also disagree with regards to "keeping conversation going". It all depends on what conversation. We could discuss our favourite hot caffeinated drink until deadline if we wanted. Me voting you and you voting me is far more worth discussing.
Anyway, since when are you self-conscious about OMGUSing? You weren't like that in Matter, iirc (I need to check). Speaking of which, can you expand on your reads at the end of #28?
In Matter (where we were both town), we had a superficially similar situation where I started suspecting Rhand and he reacted negatively to the attack, but the context was too different. In that game Rhand had an early town read on me that never seemed to completely go away even after/while I made a wrong-headed push on him. That initial context matters and is missing here, so . I did check and I'm dropping that point.
I know back in the old days where ZDS wasn't one of the older players around, OMGUS was typically a wolf read, but I think it's more of a player thing. It's a mindset I was actually occasionally in until post playstation.
As far as my entrance, I feel like I am always awkward in RVS. This one in particular, I almost feel like treating it like a turbo, where I just ***** post until the last few hours (translation to mtgs) and then find bad people.
The GJ way path to no lynching:
The other difference in context is that there are only 2 mislynches in this game, vs at least 4 in matters. Player size matters.
Rhand, wisp, and ZDS seem serious. Everyone else seems silly. I don't know what to do.
I do appreciate whatever Pokechu is doing as an RP, and that I can follow it.
The GJ way path to no lynching:
Spicy.
The GJ way path to no lynching:
Which one do you think Rhand is doing?
I'm not going to jump at your throat if I don't like your answer... as long as you actually commit to a stance and stop the "on the one hand this, on the other hand that" dance.
Are you really telling me to not be hedgey on post 39?
Gun to my head, natural adverse action. Especially this early. I don't think it's a serious attempt to discredit this early into it, especially when you have at least one player claiming a town read on you.
The GJ way path to no lynching:
"I am town too, what a coincidence"
Das ist so fake
Kek
My first post wasn't even a read on GJ, it was literally me making a statement. And I'm not omnipotent here, I'm finna have thoughts on people's entrances, I'm just not going to hold much weight on them. Or if I do, it will be mostly townie reads, since they are easier to find
Rhand looks worse because he shut down Grape's thoughts with, "No it's not", in regards to ZDS's post, instead of writing anything meaningful to attack it with, feels less like trying to solve and more like trying to shade
I am with Rhand on this one. I don't really get what was solid about it. I have asked far more "softball" questions as either alignment. I don't actually like Grape barning that.
And you are omnipotent when it comes to reading me :(. Or so you claim. When I am less lazy, I will go find the game where you first started doing that.
The GJ way path to no lynching:
Of the whole page 1, I probably like Grape the least so far.
The GJ way path to no lynching:
you played a good gamn there
and yes, that is me
I still don’t get why you post both the question and the answer in one post rather than deleting the question when you see it’s answered.
Interesting question. I would like to see your own answer to it as well.
I’m pretty sure the bolded means ZDS and GJ are unaligned.
Note to self. ZDS, if we are ever partners, we just need to tickle each other chins and if one goes down, the other is insta locked
I mean, considering his vote on you, hasn't he already answered this question? o-0
The GJ way path to no lynching:
My feeling is that mafia!ZDS saw town!Grape say he had a light scum ping on me and figured that a push in my direction would get a following.
If anything, I got the opposite response. TownZDS thought he found something, and grape decided for an early barn. He is pushing me because he thinks I look hedgey, which is absurd this early, but he is using me as a sounding board which reads more townie to me.
The GJ way path to no lynching:
The GJ way path to no lynching:
ya well, you also didn't say, "No it isn't?"
there are townier ways to disagree with opinions outside just straight up attacking them without giving your thoughts,
now if had asked grape why he thought that, while excluding the shade, my opinion would be different, hence why I don't hate the fact that you disagree
not particularly keen on what you have been doing so far though
but it's still early in the day
