    Ehehehe-hehehe! Welcome to your local undead demon's humble abode!

    Today we present to you the prized crystal ball (limited edition) @Satan family heirloom, the Crystal Ball of Terrible Obscurity! Since I managed to dig this out from the attic, I figured it would be fun to cause some mischief with it!

    Anonymous Crystal Ball Masquerade Roulette!

    Here's how the game works. First, members sign up to participate in the roulette.

    When enough people have signed up, we'll anonymously pair two random members via PM. However, the two of you will not talk directly. Instead, the game staff (hopefully a bot... I still need to ask @Tony if it's possible to make a bot) will relay your messages.

    The goal is to figure out your partner's true identity without them guessing yours!

    At the beginning of the round, the staff will list 6 members who are the possible players involved. You only get three guesses (if you get all guesses wrong, you lose by default and your opponent wins)! The timeline is one week!

    If you win, you get to make the loser pick a truth or dare. If you both lose, the game staff get to give both of you a truth or dare! (*≧▽≦)

    How To Participate
    Either respond to this thread (or PM me, if you want to be extra secretive) if you want to be part of the pool of members playing this game. If and when I get 5+ pending players, I'll start matching!

    If you finish a game and want to play another one, let me know and I'll add you pack into the pool. Otherwise I'll assume it's a one-time thing!

    I'm also looking for staff! However, I'm hoping to keep the staff list small (maybe no more than 2-3 per game, maybe rotating for each round). Hopefully the staff can play too!

    EDIT:
    Current number of players: 6

    Seems like a game that is too easy to lose and thus favors the house

    Do you think it would be more balanced if the number of guesses went up to 3, and we reduced the number of options to guess from?

    For instance, if the starting list was 7 members (giving 6 suspects to start because you yourself are on the list). With 3 guesses, there's a 50% chance from random guessing.

    However, the point of the game is in part to study people's profiles and play sort of a bluffing game, etc... trying to bait your opponent into guessing wrong, etc.

    I'm actually okay with there being no punishment from a tied/no-winner game, but I was thinking there should be an incentive for people to use up their guesses (not guess at all).

    I think the problem is more.....
    How many menbers do you know? Would guess it is me if I text you?
    My profile is empty since am Lazy so. ...
    Where would you get info to guess is me.
    If you want this game to works beside pairs you should asing roles from novels....
    I am a stupid king Trash so I have to interpt him on the mensage. ...and you have to guess my role not who i am. Like that it does not need to be a secret the pair or do you need a bot. At the beginning of the game you asing the role by pm and the mensage are done here so if one menber is bad at acting you can get info from the other players and guess the role of your pair

    First you reveal our plans and now you play with the family heirloom??!!
    Well, the latter is okay, since nobody's using it anyway. And count me in as one of the staff!~ ^^

    Oh, I don't mind participating Happy-chan, could be fun!

    Just make sure not to break the family heirloom okay? I think Vi-chan could get angry with that.

    The game just doesn't seem particularly enticing. Playing one small game for a minor dare just seems meh. You could get that dare just that easily by posting in 21 dares. You need to up the rewards some to make it interesting.

    I wasn't really sure what people were looking for in this kind of thing. XD I mean, I originally thought of it as something that wasn't really serious (kind of like the Matchmaking thread but more game-y), but do you have particular suggestions for the kind of rewards that you'd like to see?

    I was almost asleep when I saw this, I should probably not reply so sleepily
    and I will likely regret this in the morning…
    But I just had to say,

    I had some venison earlier tonight...
    and it was also particularly gamy.
    Ba dum tss!!!

    Goodnight Every one!
    I hope you enjoy the rest of the show!!

    I think we will start with six (meaning one more)! There will be three pairs, three guesses for each player, and one week!

    And @Arcturus if both players correctly guess each other within 3 hours of each other (without cheating/giving it away), then the loser (the second one to guess correctly) gets a consolation prize of giving a staff member a truth or dare~ XD
