MM3: ID Thief (8 players)

This game is played with alt accounts. Each player must make an alt account before this game.


All alt players are given an ID card with a player's name on it. This initial ID card will not be equal to the alt account's player, and they will know the name on the initial ID card. Each ID card will start at 0 points and have the numbers of 0, 1, 2, and 3, each which can only be used once. The game takes place over 4 rounds; at the end of the game, the player holding the ID card with the most points will win 2 tokens of life. The player holding the ID card with the least points will become the EC. All players will earn garnets for every 3 points they earn. Players will not know at any point who's ID or how many points the ID has naturally. All points go towards your new current ID card.


ID Cards can obtain points the following ways:


Exchanging

A player cannot exchange with the same person more than once at any point in the game. If a swap occurs, the following will happen depending on the old/new card after the trade:

Not your ID -> Not your ID: +1 point

Your ID -> Not your ID: -3 points

Not your ID -> Your ID: +3 points


Trading must be approved in pair chats by both players. All points gained go to your new ID.


Battle

If both players agree, they can choose to battle with another player. You can only battle with each player once throughout the game. When you battle, you must privately submit a number from 0-3. Once both players agree and choose, one of the following outcomes will happen on the number chosen:


Higher number: +2 points

Lower number: 0 points

Tie: +1 point

Invalid number (choosing a number that was already used on that ID card): -1 point

Choosing a 0 vs a 3: +3 points


Guess/Submit

By the end of round 4, players can submit 2 things:

A. Who they believe each alt account belongs to. Players will score +1 point to their final ID card for every correct guess and -1 for every incorrect guess. Players also lose 1 point for every time they are gussed. Not all players have to be submitted.

B. Whether they want to challenge that the current ID card they are holding has their name on it.


If a player chooses to challenge using option B and their ID card has their name on it, they will earn +3 points. Otherwise, they will lose 3 points.

During the game, each player gets to use one of these items once: Name Check, Point Check, and Number Check. Using an item will tell you the corresponding value of your current ID card. Each player can also purchase an item use one time in the game for 3 garnets.

Amendment: Each ID card will have an alphabet from A-H on it, which will not change and will be told whenever your ID is exchanged what alphabet your new ID is.
