@@mathmagician8191 That wouldn't have worked in ye olde days of parliament (that is, Victorian times and some bit afterwards, and I know you're talking about a cabinet meeting instead of a HoC debate) because parliament usually started after lunch (matching the schedules of aristocrats back then, who clearly liked to sleep in) and continued however long it needed to, including into the next day. I can't remember the exact name but at some point they made a standing order to try to stop meetings at 11pm (!), but the problem with that is that in like 90% of cases they just made a motion to ignore the rule and it would pass, so they'd keep going anyways!
Can you guys elaborate on this? How does this bring what they planned in danger? They could have just said if it was written "snitch" or "the snitch" in the specific envelope. what is important is that they must not know they were all handed the same envelope. i dont get how that is a threatening question.
2:25 Absolute props to Georgia for making such an incisive and attentive question that, had it been mishandled even slightly, would've completely given away the game. She's clearly in it to win it.
The description of the Loyal's role is important if you're playing a deciever anyway, you need to know what you're expected to be doing to pretend easier. Social deducation games where the beytrayer doesn't know the loyal players goal are very rare because they're hard to balance since you need to make every player seem bad at the goal to make it so it's not immediately obvious.
So there is a Korean show called the Genius where contestants would play games that were generally about strategy and social skills. They made a mistake in one episode with a social deduction game (zombies vs humans) where only the starting humans knew the exact wording of what was on their card, which was used to figure things out. After that, whenever they had social deduction games, they would have cards to show the wording for all of the roles.
An exception is _Betrayal at House on the Hill_ in which one player becomes the Haunt and turns on the others. The Haunt reads a description of their strengths while their opponents read a description of the Haunt's weaknesses. One of the goals of the Haunt is to figure out what the others players are trying to do and prevent it.
@@wizardsuth I'm not sure Betrayal is an actual deception game. IIRC the vast majority of possible Haunts openly announce which player is the traitor. In fact, the traitor gets a whole separate rulebook from the survivors, which you can't really do (in a board game) without revealing their identity.
A fake artist goes to New York is the closest I can think of. Everyone is given a topic, and then everyone but the fake artist gets the word. The players each make two continuous lines (can do whatever you want as long as your pen doesn't lift off the canvas) to help prove they are in the "in group". After everyone has gone twice the players vote on who they think the fake artist is, if they are correct the fake artist gets a chance to guess at what the word is so the ingroup is forced to be abstract in their attempts to prove they know the word without giving too muxh info to the faker
i recognised your face instantly but had to think like a good 5 minutes from where (i hadn’t reached the part where they said you where a card counter 😅)
I love the coloured subtitles! sometimes it is hard to understand the english when its being mumbled or spoken fast and having the coloured and italic subtitles made it really easy to tell whats happening in my language!
Jet Lag: The Game (produced by the same people) also uses these coloured subtitles. They’ve just finished Season 11, so we’re in the downtime until they finish editing and uploading Season 12 (with each episode being uploaded to TH-cam 1 week after their release on Nebula).
I think they may have taken inspiration from Tom Scott there, they've worked together, Tom was a paragon in the educational video space for a decade, and as far as I'm aware he was the first big channel to adopt full colour subtitling
As someone who has watched this show, I would say its a unique experience. Would highly recommend, could be a case study on human psychology as well. But felt a flat since throughout the show stakes/risk/urgency were never raised. In shows like JetLag (produced by same people), unexpected delays in trains, narrow deadlines, tough coin challenges can through a wrench and make things more exciting.
I concur, it was really good show. My favourite part was the plot twist at the end, where it turned out the real snitch were the friendships they made along the way
As a huge fan of "wie is de mol" (a dutch tv show that is basically this but there is actually only one snitch) ive always wondered what would happen if everyone was the snitch and how funny the show would be. I'm glad it's actually a thing now
As somebody who is only partway through watching the miniseries, I really enjoyed this a lot and I think it makes a perfect teaser trailer showing off the premise! :D
"We setup the meeting right before lunch to avoid questions" I have literally done this in an office environment with a team that normally drags hour meetings out to 90 minutes to two hours but scheduling them at 4PM on a Friday instead
I’ve watched the entire season and I have to say it is one of, if not the best, game show I’ve ever watched! Absolutely amazing! Keep up the good work! Can’t wait for the next thing you’re going to come up with!
"That's the Loyal's guide of the rules, a completely useless paper" yeah but not really, it's like, the most useful part, makes them know what they have to pretend to be
2:08 This is pretty close to a lie, since if each person did get a personalised envelope, you would need more than 6 enevelopes and more than 1 would have snitch in it?
well they said personalised ENVELOPE, not letter. since they asked for the rules back after each reveal they probably just put the same rule set into each envelope - thus not a lie ;^)
@@clover2309 Nah this is a straight up lie by their own standard. ¨We didn't want to say out loud, or in writing, that there would only be one snitch.¨ Saying that there will be the same amount of envelopes handed out as players, one of which contains ''snitch'', and the rest contain ''loyal'', means by any definition of those words mean there will only be one snitch.
@@dr.blauerkraut When each person received their role, the crew had 6 envelopes, one of which contained "snitch" and 5 of which contained "loyal", as described. So how was it a lie?
Actually they did have six envelopes, five loyal and one snitch, but they just always gave the snitch envelope out and collected it back before moving on to the next role assignment
I realize from the timestamp that you probably intended yesterday… but since you didn't specify a day and no one else reminded you yet, here you go. ;)
This is the best advertisment I've seen in a long long time. I actually oepned a new tab to see if it was free on Hulu or something before realizing that this was on the Nebula channel. I normally don't like this type of TV either. ANy kind of relaity, mind game, Survivor copy cat, whatever I hold no interest in. Great job from everyone. It worked.
They should make a Second Season where everyone is the Jester, meaning that if they get voted off they win. The earlier they get voted off, the more money they get.
Just reminds me of the old D&D idea: Tell a player that you want one of the PCs to secretly be a spy for the BBEG, and that you want it to be them. Have this conversation with every player. Watch the chaos unfold.
As someone really into social deduction and game rules in general, while I might have gotten a gut feeling that some of the language they were using was a little off, as soon as they got to the part where they explained that they just gave the same snitch document to every player, I would not have been able to figure it out until, at the very earliest, day two, where I might have gotten to the point of thinking ‘Why would it be so easy to frame literally every other person in this game? Are they all comically incompetent, or is there something else going on?’ Simply put, even if I was prepared for this kind of trickery in general (expecting Nebula to bend the rules or even straight up lie to me in the name of a social experiment), I would never even think of the chance of them just giving everyone the same envelope. That idea would never cross my mind
Saying 6 envelopes have loyal assignment And 1 has snitch assignment is pretty much a lie come on Thats like flipping a coin but saying only tails counts
For real. If they wanted to give the impression of there only being one without outright saying it, they should’ve said “the envelope will either read ‘snitch’ or ‘loyal’.” But instead they immediately broke their rule of not lying to the contestants.
@@TeaBeignetthat gives away the possibility, and the easy followup question "how many snitch are there?". That's a question that NEEDS to be avoided at all costs, so you very likely NEED to say numbers like this. It wasn't a lie since they said there was 1 envelope and they all got told to give that envelope back, so it's not a lie.
This might be a stretch, but if there are 6 envelopes, then technically there is also 1 envelope as well. So they could just be omitting the 5 other envelopes
4:07 you missed a trick here and it was even pointed out by a player earlier in the video. If you had formally titled the snitch role as "The Snitch" then you could just tell everyone that they're "The Snitch". It works flawlessly when spoken and in writing it's mostly solved by the fact that even if everyone knew there were multiple Snitches I doubt anyone would expect it to be, or think it should be, written as someone being "a The Snitch".
Oh man
A few minutes in and scheduling the meeting right before lunch to avoid questions is diabolical
Putting that one in my back pocket for the next time I need to schedule a meeting.
I remember something similar in Yes Minister, Humphrey scheduled an agenda item he didn't want much discussion of just before lunch, knowing they'd be running behind so couldn't spend much time on it

@@rhettbaldwin832089
Yup
Would've been even funnier if you make one of them not the snitch. Then there's just one person exasperated at how incompetent everyone is.
You could call them the Joe Schmo
Problem with that is with the current rules, they literally can't win (because if they're in the final two they'd be there with a snitch)
@@pialba Well the win condition would be to realise that everyone else is a snitch.
It likely would've been since there were originally supposed to be 7 players not 6
@@perrchapsbut he said there would be 6 loyals, so likely the video was the plan anyway

yeah, he was my favorite character in the series, real charismatic
I thought that was you lol. Couldn't tell without a disguise.
Damn, Nebula actually looks like something I want now... keep making ads like this, and people will join for sure.
The real getaway is them making such a good video on a show and then only at the end announcing it is only on Nebula 😆

should have been titled “how we got away with The Getaway”
Good one! 🤣
wait this is actually so good I’m sad now
Funny title but I doubt people would click on it without knowing what the getaway is
or just "The Getaway", is that why it's called the getaway? they showed the title of the show as he said that part.
they make that joke in the video though
That tease with that line "We're all snitches, aren't we?" omg that cliffhanger!
I concur, it was really good show. My favourite part was the plot twist at the end, where it turned out the real snitch were the friendships they made along the way

Nebula is such a good platform. I'm glad to see y'all getting back into originals instead of early YT uploads
This is like that show where it pretended to be a reality show, but everyone was an actor besides one guy
