@jessew@mk.cpluspatch.com a villager who can try to open their eyes during the night to spot culprits (but, if spotted, dies)this kind of role sounds like exactly the type of thing that was missing. something to break the perfect information seal of the nighttime. like anything at all was needed so that there is any information at all to go off of because genuinely the main phase of what I experienced was just "maybe make an unjustified accusation every round"

today I played a hidden role group deduction game. it claimed to be called "mafia".

we had these roles

- some amount of players are "mafiosos"; 3 in this case with a group of 25ish.
- one player is a "doctor".
- the rest are "regular" players.

here's how it worked:

- at the start of each round, everyone must choose their eyes.
- the mafiosos open their eyes and kill one player. then, they close their eyes again.
- the doctor opens their eyes, and can try to "save" a player. if they pick the player that was killed, that player doesn't die. if they pick wrong, nothing special happens. then, the doctor closes their eyes.
- all players open their eyes
- the group must now discuss who they think the mafiosos are
- the group can, with a majority vote, eliminate a player. and then, the group learns that player's role (i.e. it is always known how many mafiosos remain)
- if nobody gets voted out, nothing special happens here
- then, it's nighttime again, and we start a new round. so, everyone closes their eyes, and another player can be killed by the mafiosos, and so on.

that's the whole game.

assuming good acting, the mafiosos have a perfect strategy: simply kill random players and then act like you're innocent. there is no way to deduce who it can be, other than by their pattern of killing. no pattern, no information.

the main issue with how this was executed is that there is absolutely no in-game action anyone can take that can be analyzed to any extent. like, all the interesting stuff happens with closed eyes; and sure you can maybe deduce something about who moved it you're good with hearing but like that's clearly an unintended side channel and also its unreliable.

comparing to like, Among Us, which is similar in its voting mechanic, the innocent players actually have tasks to do, murders can be observed if done poorly, and players can vouch for each others innocence (you can spend time together and basically prove to each other that you're both safe). this game had nothing like any of that. it is among us but instead of interesting gameplay between voting, there is simply a hidden vote for which player gets murdered. and the doctor too but like they have literally no information so they're basically useless. the entire "information gathering" phase is replaced by one that intentionally reveals absolutely no information. the gameplay loop shatters.

so like, what the fuck? I'm assuming there is an actual game like this. but what core mechanic was missing here? clearly something critical was missing because this was not very fun to play.

@jessew@mk.cpluspatch.com I know,,, right???
