Cheese Thief | Game 1 Over

A micro social deduction game about finding which mouse stole the cheese.

You are all cute little mice. And you have a lovely bit of cheese that you are all going to enjoy tomorrow morning. But for now it's time to go to sleep. Let's hope none of you are a cheese thief!

In this game, players receive a secret role of either the Cheese Thief or a Sleepyhead. Everyone closes their eyes to sleep for the night and only wake up at specific times decided by their own dice roll. The Cheese Thief will steal the cheese, while the Sleepyheads may check around. During the subsequent discussion, the Cheese Thief will try to get away with the cheese undetected and the Sleepyheads will try to hunt the thief down together.

The day will end in (expired on 2023-10-09 22:05:00), or sooner if all players agree, and role cards will be revealed for players with or tied for the most votes.

[Mizzytastic]

I have a question, because I want to make sure I'm understanding the rules right. Does the Cheese Thief need to place the cheese in front of them? When I read the rules I saw "somewhere safe" and assumed they could put it anywhere

In person the Cheese Thief would do something like put the Cheese in their pocket.

[Mizzytastic]

@mod does everyone have to agree to end day or only a simple majority?

Everyone, it's mostly in the sense of no one feels like they have anything left to contribute.

[Mizzytastic]

oh hey i just got back

@mod does everyone have to agree to end day or only a simple majority?

Everyone, it's mostly in the sense of no one feels like they have anything left to contribute.

is there still majority voting? as in, does the day end when 4 people vote for one player?

There is no majority voting. I have some thoughts about it I can talk about post game.

[Mizzytastic]

To clarify, I would not allow the hammerer to change their vote then be the last player to say they want voting closed, them changing their vote would give everyone else a chance to reconsider.

[Mizzytastic]

Rules as written the game involves a simultaneous vote where everyone points in person. I moved the way the rules work to fit the forum setting more but based on the conversation this has revealed that it may be game breaking. This is obviously a problem.

As such I'm proposing we move to a system where there are no votes at daytime and instead people will all submit a vote to me after deadline via pm. I would like to see what people think of this.

The deadline is at (expired on 2023-10-09 22:05:00).

[Mizzytastic]

vote to end day

There has been a call to end the day. (1/6) people agree currently. Please bold or use vote tags if you want to end the day.

Thanks for playing everyone. I feel like this is about the worst roll the Cheese Thief could have gotten.

I'd like to apologise for my modding this game. I've been dealing with a family death, leading to me having to look after the house myself while having a bad cold, and I've not been able to do it to my usual standard. I also should have realised changing how voting worked like that resulted in a game breaking scenario. I'd be interested to hear any suggestions for the future.

[Mizzytastic]

if theres next game ill play again

I'd like to keep running this if I can get enough players for sure.

And no worries about game breaking strategies, I made a decision to try and bring voting more in line with how this site does Mafia games, but the tie rule makes it very different. It's my first time running it and now I've learned!
