I've been brainstorming a new game mode, and wanna try it out.

In Sleeper Agents, the secret objectives you draw are randomly assigned to another player; when that other player satisfies the requirements of that objective, you both score the point (Purge Heretical Works and Form a Spy Network will be purged for obvious reasons. Classified Document Leaks will also be removed due to awkwardness with the bot).

At any time, you may guess what another player's secret objective is. If you are correct, that player discards that secret; if you are wrong, you discard one. This is to disincentivize going "hey player x, you should totally follow Construction for a 4th pds for no reason".

In addition, whenever you perform the primary or secondary ability of Diplomacy, you may reroll the assignment of one of your secrets to another player.

To accommodate for the higher scoring potential (potentially 6 secrets per player), this will be a 14 point game. Standard 6p POK milty otherwise.

Since the bot is not configured to support this, and to ensure the random secret assignment is fair (and ensure players are being honest about challenges), I will be a neutral overseer. I will handle the random assignment of secrets to ensure an even spread (so all secrets don't happen to land on 1 or 2 players).

Looking for a decently fast game with some ontime overlap with me so I can assist with any tricky business.

ill also say, this is a first draft of the gamemode. if something is being a little finnicky, im totally down to change rules mid-game (such as, if the 'challenge' option becomes too punishing and we figure out a better method)

oh also, obviously no whispers

Aight, well the time restraint isnt ideal, but i guess we can work with it

Just to make it clear, i keep the secrets what I draw in my hand just instead of me satisfies it, there will be another player assigned to satisfy that secret and both of us will receive 1 VP.

Is this other player aware of that secret has been assigned to him/her?

# mortal falcon Just to make it clear, i keep the secrets what I draw in my hand just instead of...

correct on the former, not on the 2nd. each secret is assigned to another player and when that other player satisfies it, you both score it (you can also delay scoring it like you would in a normal game, to have a surprise score later). but the other player wont know a secrets assigned to them (well, everyone will know some secrets are assigned to them. although the assignment is random, to ensure fairness itll be bounded random for an even distribution. so you will know some secrets are assigned to you, but you dont know what they are or who holds them)

mortal falcon
#

and what's the order of secret scoring?

#

if me and my secret partner are both on 13vp

#

the holder of the secret receives the point first?

rustic kernel
#

in that unlikely circumstance, the victor is the person holding the secret

mortal falcon
#

Okay add me in let's see how this works.
