Four of us confirmed for 8pm tonight then, and think Gaucho said he'd be available so hopefully he sees this in time.

Does someone who's got more experience of playing the game want to host?

[elgaucho]

Yeah I'll be about. I just don't know if my microphone is working, but we'll find out.

[Sly Boots]

Thanks for that guys, highly enjoyable. My 9yo really wants to join in as well, she's downloaded it on my wife's phone, so that could be a sixth the next time.

My highlight of the night was undoubtedly the run of four or five games where we immediately assumed Gaucho was the imposter on the flimsiest of evidence

[Mantis]

I enjoy being almost 100% certain about someone only to vote them out and find they're innocent.

I have to say though that if anymore people murder me in full view of other players, or if the entire crew walks into a room with my dead body and leaves without even mentioning it, then I'm going to start taking it personally.

[Raid]

My favourites are when, without even trying, someone is granted an impenetrable alibi. That kind of social stealth is really hard to pull off.

[Snowy]

Yes thoroughly enjoyed that last night. My favourite of the night was inadvertantly murdering Sly in front of 3 players and not getting fired out of the airlock, but there were a lot of other games that came close for general hilarity. Sign of a good game, I was sat thinking about it for the rest of the evening!

Next time (soon please) I will click my mic off while we are playing, sorry it took me to the last game to get that point. Also if we are having Sly Jr join us I will moderate all fruitiness from my language

Next session then - when we all next free? I can do most evenings except this coming Friday.

Most evenings here as well. I've also got a couple of others I know from a football forum who are desperate to play it, but there aren't enough gamers around there to make it viable. They're good people, would anyone have any objections if I invited them at some point?

[Raid]

I don't object to non-forum players, but it's much better if everyone's on voice chat.

Shouldn't be a problem, we've spoken on discord before as we set up a channel for the fantasy football stuff we do, so I'd just send them the link to our channel.

Yeah i love you all too

Also agree with snowy - need to remember to moderate language a bit better if we have juniors joining us / listening in. Apologies.

I'm around this week. Florey may join us if we do another and we want to shore up the numbers. Last night was a lot of fun, and quite intense given the low player count, as it increases the odds of the same person being impostor more often, and means there's very little margin for error in terms of discovery.

If we need to allow more time for bodies to be found we may need to consider upping the kill cooldown timer, or come up with other innovative mechanisms to compensate.

But I think the main take away for you all is... I WAS INNOCENT (most of the time)!! SNOWY WAS KILLING EVERYONE IN FRONT OF US!!

I also have no issue with non-forumites joining us, my reluctance was embracing randoms and the potential for toxicity that could bring but good people always welcome. They could even end up joining us here, so win-win.

Plus of course, more people for me to commit murder in front of and then get away with it
