Spies 8: The Bribe

Watch the Spies 8 video trailer!

Spies 8 is about to begin! The successful mafia game series is back for its eighth installment, this time taking place in early June. More than 150 people over 7 games and 4 years have had an incredible time playing my Mafia games. If you are looking for a unique, intense, and creative mafia or werewolf game by an experienced host – this is it!


So what is Spies? Spies takes the standard game of Mafia to a whole new level with its own message board, engaging videos, AIM conversations, elaborate story eliminations, intense gameplay, a unique and dedicated cast of people, and amazing twists. It even releases episodes afterwards!


Spies is just my name for the game known as Mafia or Werewolves. It is a popular game played on college campuses, at parties, and online. Spies is an online social game where the players are pitted against undercover Spies from within their own group. Each round, the Spies try and deceive the Citizens (non-spies) while the Citizens try and root out the traitors in their group. The game ends when one side is eliminated.

So many people have read this advertisement, decided to try out Spies for themselves, and had a wonderful and memorable time. Don’t take my word for it though; hear what they have to say:

“I have to say, thank you over and over again for all that you do. This was the best game I've ever been in and I know you put so much into it. It's simply amazing. Everything. If you ever need a kidney, you know who to call.” - Casey

“I want to say thank you to Sam. Sam, you hosted a real winner again. I loved your stories, the board format, the twists, the leaderboard - just everything. You're so smart and innovative, and one hell of a host.” – DC

“Seriously Sam, I am in awe of that Imprisonment (Choose Your Own Adventure). That was insanely good. I still maintain that you need to be paid massive amounts of money to do this. You do an awesome job and I honestly don't know how you keep up/put up with it all. Thanks for another great game.” – Stacy

"You haven't played mafia until you have played Spies. It’s like a whole new dimension that you can't get anywhere else. Sam has amazing ideas that lead to amazing games. If you are serious about mafia/werewolf, this is the game for you." – Elias

“Spies is unquestionably the best game I've ever played. It's more fun than I ever imagined. Sam took the basic mafia game and made it one of the most fun experiences on the internet. The players are intelligent and enthusiastic, the twists are so creative and the whole thing is run like clockwork.

I could not have asked for more. I got everything I put into it and more. Thank you thank you thank you for all of the time and hard work you put into the game and I can't wait for the next one already.” - Rachel

“The game was a great experience. It was unlike any other mafia game I've ever played, fast-paced, intense and based on a lot of interaction between players. Needless to say, this added more depth to the game, which was, at the same time, more satisfying and more demanding because of this.” - Alexandra

“Always fond of the The Werewolf Game rendition of Mafia, I checked out this "Spies" thing that was advertised. Over the next couple days, I chatted with Sam about what Spies was all about, and figured I'd give it a shot. Regular Mafia just doesn't have the depth and flair that this amazing game does. I can't wait until another Spies game.” - Will

In Spies 8, players will bribe the opposing team to do things for them using my money. (players do not use their own money). As an example, the Spies might bribe a Citizen to surrender their vote for one round in the middle of the game. The Spies would then get to cast it themselves anonymously. Would you accept $5 to surrender your vote to the Spies for one round? $10? What other bribes might be offered?

For more information, check out this post on the message board which gives complete details. I am not one to make huge, game-changing twists, as I think mafia is very interesting by itself already, so none of the bribes will shift power drastically.


Spies 8 will feature:

• An opening video introducing each player and the story. A visual leaderboard that is updated frequently. Cute short stories posted at every night kill and unique game events. Live vote counts in chat happen every 5 days.
  
  
• A fast-paced, active game that lasts from 7-9 weeks. Each Night is usually 2 days and each Day is 3 days.
  
  
• A great game for viewers to enjoy! Many viewers have told me how much they enjoyed getting into Spies as it went along and following along with the updates. Viewers will be able to follow along with eliminations the day they happen. They can read the Imprisonment stories and the Exile chats. A leaderboard will be posted and updated with all the players and their current status. Viewers will be able to watch and talk about the game.
  
  
• A game played using characters to spice up the game. (Why do people play with characters?) All players will be given a new AIM name and a proboards account to play Spies with. They will log on this new AIM name and use the proboards account to play. This means that no one has predetermined friendships, alliances, or knows how each other plays, nor can they reference other games for an advantage. All identities will be kept a secret leading to new relationships.
  
  
• Unique roles, captivating twists, and entertaining gameplay by an experienced host.
  

Drop by and take a look and see if you would like to play or view the game as it goes on. I’ve been working on this game tons and I know it will be great, and I hope you’ll join us. Thanks for your time, and I hope to see you in Spies 8: The Bribe!
