Group Stream Night Poll

My suggestion to make The Mole better: You decide beforehand on a certain number of games and levels, etc. Giving each of them point values. Example: each level of Overcooked is however many minutes and is worth up to 3 points, 1 for each star. Where as Octodad levels have a timer, after a certain period of time the entire team lose points for each period of time (like, there are 5 points up for grabs but you loose one for every 30 seconds over 5 minutes or something). This way the mole has an incentive to sabotage as well as possible without giving himself away. Each player is trying to win, so they have incentive to act suspiciously as well. At the end of the stream you all secretly and blindly take different colour pens and write votes about who you think the Mole is on pieces of paper, being able to split your points between 1 upto all but 1 of the other allies and cannot vote for themselves; the mole must write "I am the mole". The votes are counted and piled for each colour pen. Then the scoring phase begins. and everyone slowly stands up revealing their pen colour and saying "I am not The Mole"... except for The Mole who says "I was The Mole!". The Mole's job is to not be voted as the Mole, so first things first you count up all the votes. In this situation there where 7 people so, in that case if everyone was in the running to get (for ease of math) 50 points there would be a maximum of 300 points. The Mole must get voted below a certain threshold to win, and must sabotage games to increase his chances. I suggest the threshold be 25 in this case. If everyone won every game and everyone was equally suspicious then people would split their votes 10 each to the 5 they could, so unless the mole was clearly the least suspicious they would on average gain 50 votes. If they sabotage they decrease the number of potential votes, but in turn could increase the chances of them getting caught. If the mole is not caught, they win, hooray... but this should be reasonably unlikely at a threshold of 25 (play test this, I may be estimating wrong). In the case that the mole is caught however it comes down to who has put the most points into voting for the real mole. I this case Blood was the mole, so whoever put the biggest number next to blood would have won the game. This opens up some strategy for the other allies, for one, pretending they're the mole to split other people's votes. Another thing is when teamed with who you think the mole is, trying to combat their sabotage to get more points to vote with. If you can be the most certain person about who the mole is, and be correct, you are in a good stead to win the game, but if you're certain and wrong you not only loose, but increase the chances of the mole winning. It becomes a balance of trying to trip up other players, trying to be confident in who the mole is, and trying to win as many points as you can to vote with. I think this will better reflect the show, and while it is a lot more rules, would make it a lot more tactical and fun for both you, and for the viewers. That said, figuring out the numbers will take more work than just my guesses, so it will be more work to pull off.

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is much better with the two players apart from each other (different PC's and all). The Mole is Top 10 Anime Betrayals material at its finest. BUT... I'm Brazilian, and I appreciate football (who the f**k calls it soccer?). So do Mario Strikers Charged.

I completely agree with this!

Stefan Vlemmix

Just do the Mole with the other three options as games. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes would be particularly apt for that, as it's a co-op game.

I want gang beasts so bad, but The Mole seems like such an awesome opportunity that can’t be passed up.

You can actually combine all those options.

Dennis M.

The Mole sounds awesome!!

Maggie Frayer

The only game that's consistently nominated is Gang Beasts though? And even that doesn't show up some weeks. I don't think there's argument for the choices and streams not being diverse. We've had Ian's card game, DDR, and an Odyssey-style Olympics.

Harrison Holt-McHale

Never gonna stop repeating myself about how bad this format is, there won't be any diversity in choices until the same games stop being put up. We were better off the way it was before.

ZyloWolfBane

Can there be a rule about repetition, same game keeps getting not picked

Ibrahim Sozer

OG Strikers is the only option.

Ben Metal

I'm both happy and sad that Strikers isn't winning this vote because I actually want it to win the vote for tournament night.

Olf Himself

First Strikers has tighter feel making for a more competetive stream while Charged is more zany and random with some cheapness so more of a fun-casual stream. I vote for the first but both if you can do an hour each.

Alex Landry

Why would they play the original Strikers over Strikers Charged? Charged has more abilities, items and chances for crazyness.

Dustin McNab

Man I would LOVE to see you guys play the first Super Mario Strikers! That is an AWESOME game to play with a group! I believe!!

The real question is....Who will the be the COMMUNITY MOLE?

drd7of14

Listen up ya'lll it's a ________!!!

drd7of14

What if one of the games for The Mole was in fact...The Mole? Moleception!!!!!!!

drd7of14

The Mole sounds fun, and one of the games for The Mole could even be Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes.

Space Channel 5 needs to happen again, super fun to watch game that brings smiles to everyone in the room.

Mithers

I'm afraid not voting for Gang Beasts is now officially a tradition.

Samuel Cardwell

SABOTAGE

Nicholas Poer

keep talking and nobody explodes! chaos will ensue.

rrice64

Yeah, it’s be cool to vote for games to be played within the meta-game, rather than as a choice amongst games

Marceline Leiman

I love the idea of The Mole, but a part of me feels weird voting for a metagame instead of the actual games that will be played

Eisen

Space Channel 5 was robbed but gotta go with the Mole

Damiani and Kyle will always be the Mole.

I'm already suspicious Kyle is The Mole

Alex McMillan

Strikers guys cmon! So good!

The gamecube one is the one I meant when nominating Strikers.

Olf Himself

Huber is actually really good at being the secret villain, as proven in other games like Jackbox and others.

Olf Himself

Mario strikers is such a fun game, probably won't win, but would love to see it streamed sometime.

Osbeorn

I will always and forever vote for Gang Beasts.

Dennis M.

It will be in VR with instructions printed out on paper. We've actually streamed it this way once before

Easy Allies

If The Mole is picked, idk if Huber can be the mole! As hilarious as it'd be for the audience to see him try not to smile, I don't think he can hold a straight face haha

Marceline Leiman

The Mole sounds fun

Oscar Magana

Strikers, not charged

Henry Ramirez

If we vote for keep talking will it be played in vr and will you guys print out Manuals for everybody? I think it's more fun if you have a physical manual in from of you instead of flicking through pages on your phone or tablet.
