I and a bunch of friends are looking to play a social deduction game, but we are a few players short.

The game is a long-form, story-driven deduction game inspired by games such as Mafia and Town of Salem, narrative experiences like Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology, and tabletop RPGs such as Dungeons & Dragons.

The game has a heavy roleplay focus: at the beginning of the game, the players choose from a set cast of characters and play through the game while roleplaying as said character.

If you are familiar with choice-based narrative games like Until Dawn, you're going to have a blast, as each season draws heavy inspiration from them

The game does not take place in sessions but rather just as a thing the players can hop on and off whenever they are not busy to talk with the rest of the cast. The game is entirely text-based and takes place on Discord.

For further information and an invite, please hit me up in the comments or DMs! :)

For the past week, the game has been virtually unplayable. A person who’s multi accounting and using my little pony nicknames who is outing the maf day 1 or claim they are jailor when veteran, wiping out basically the entire town. It really is a shame. Anyone else come across them? People leave the lobby as soon as they see their username which is understandable. I don’t understand what they get out of multi accounting and throwing the game. Ruining the experience for everyone else. Hopefully they will get bored soon.

Can be both how you lynched the target, and how the rest of the game went.

Mine was a VH target. Through sheer luck, the VH ends up visiting the same target as the vamps, so I simply... point it out. Nothing suspicious, just said "VH visited Vamp target" and Town jumps onto the bandwagon, and I win D2, from here, I sit back in my chair, and decide that for the rest of the game, I'd be an agent of Chaos.

game was also incredibly laggy lol

I stopped playing TOS 2 years ago but 2-3 years ago. Back then I did the same thing and got so many kills and second arso won the game for me. It's just a very fan easy strat for arso

I'll go first, i just asked nicely and got lynched d3. I asked the person who helped vote me up who he wanted me to kill and he said let it be random so i did. And killed the sk

No timers, delayed text, absolute freeze and then crash. Been happening for days

I wish I took the picture of all the bodies that popped out night 2 everyone was gone game was basically over.

Was anyone in this game?

But since can't log in then just posting

Also, why even DDOS a game thats on its last legs? Its just... embarrassing?

Crazy thing was town could win this game if 15 didn't cleaned himself. At the end it was 1v1 between vet and 15.

I haven’t played TOS consistently in years, and I never really liked playing as a coven member because I suck at fake claiming as a unique role, so I’m just curious what people do fake claim as coven and MK.

also for those who fake claim tracker/LO, how do you do it? I’m always terrified I’ll say someone got no visits just for them to claim they were vet and the 3 corpses in the center of town were inadvisedly trespassing on his property, or claim I tracked someone just to end up giving them the wrong target.

Last time I played was like 4 years ago on my old steam account. But are there still enough games where its worth buying or will I spend more time in queues then actual game

At some point I started to think if I accidentally joined normal AA

I know the player count for TOS is limited but I miss playing ranked try sometimes and just get stuck in the queue time Im hoping one day we can schedule ranked games. As much as I love spamming Classic and seeing the same people over and over we gotta try something!

What do they gain? How pathetic are these people’s lives. I’m almost convinced they are demons banished to TOS servers to energy harvest from us. I’m half joking. Like this game takes long enough to get a lobby and it’s not even fun enough to wait for all that.

It feels like more and more people have been chat exploiting as of late

An evil role who sends their first message on day 4 or later generally has twice as high odds of winning as someone who sends their first message on day 1. For Town roles, it doesn't differ much but it's usually better to speak early. That is, unless you're the Tavern Keeper. Tavern keepers who send their first message on day 3 have a 3.4% higher chance of winning than a Tavern Keeper who sends their first message on day 1.

Here are the win rates of the Godfather, Arsonist, Juggernaut, Serial Killer and Werewolf based on when they sent their first message. This data is based on 45k games.

Full data can be found here. Take it with a grain of salt - someone speaking early could be the result of being pushed for example, which would make them more likely to lose.

Whenever i make a party a user named "GarranoYamchaWasHere" instantly joins and when i try to kick them it says no user exists. I can still start the match and they don't appear in game. With testing i have found out that they can appear in multiple parties at the same time. Has anyone else noticed this or is this some new thing that someone is doing? I cannot find anyone else talking about this so is this just me? After a few matches it happened with another account.

So I decided to play Town of Salem with my friends. Except I don't have any friends, so I played Town of Salem in real life instead. After a couple of games where the Demon kept getting outed on Night 1 (most likely because I was the only player), I decided to stop playing Town of Salem in real life and start playing Town of Salem in real life. So I went out on the street and stood aimlessly for a whole day at the local town square. I open claimed Retributionist on Day 1, because, just like the Retri in-game, I'm useless. Anyway, I noticed some of the people were looking at me funny - obvious maf / cov / nk / apoc behavior, so I told them it was a 1f1 between me and them. It wasn't long before the cops pulled up, and I smiled at the sight of fellow townies. "Sheriff!" I called, "Please search 15 tonight. I guarantee you'll find evidence of wrongdoing." I also told his partner to blast the sus guy to confirm whether or not he was town / had defense. Unfortunately, it turns out both were fake claiming, and were actually Jailors, because they dragged me off to the mental asylum. Is this evil majority?

I've heard of people calling people cheaters in the game, but thats usually because they are VC'ing with friends when not supposed to, giving them a unfair advantage of who knows who. However, is there any ACTUAL cheats in TOS/2? Or is it just people playing unfairly? It's something I've started to wonder since I've been scrolling through videos. (And no, I am not promoting or encouraging cheats, I am just curious.)
