WIFOM (Game) is a game developed by Who via the MafiaScum Site Chat.

The standard version of this game is 2-player, although a 3-player version of this game is playable.

The Setup

One player will pour the wine; the other player will be the drinker. Turns alternate after every round.

The pourer must first choose whether to poison the drinker or not. Then, the pourer can place either an antidote, some poison, or nothing in each glass (all combinations are allowed, one per glass).

After that, the game can begin. If there is a mod, the pourer should notify the mod of his/her choices at this point.

The Play

Typically, the drinker will ask questions to help determine what to drink (if anything). The drinker can choose to drink from neither glass, one glass (the drinker must specify whose glass to drink from), or both glasses.

The drinker wins if he/she is still alive. One dose of antidote will cancel out one dose of poison (being poisoned to start with counts as one dose of poison). However, the antidote by itself is also harmful and will kill the drinker if there is no poison to cancel it out.

Scoring

If the drinker lives, the drinker gets points equal to the number of wrong choices there were. If the drinker dies, the pourer gets points equal to the number of right choices there were.

Right/wrong choices refer to the different options available to the pourer (drink from no glasses, drink from glass A, drink from glass B, and drink from both glasses). A "right" choice is a choice that allows the drinker to live.

Example

Let's say Player A is the pourer and Player B is the drinker.

Privately, Player A decides to poison Player B and put a dose of antidote into each glass. Once the decision has been made, Player B can start asking questions of the pourer. Eventually, Player B decides to drink from both glasses.

Since Player B has a dose of poison and two doses of antidote in his/her system, he/she dies (one of the antidotes does not cancel out). Player A gets a total of two points because there were two options available to Player B that would have allowed him/her to live (by drinking either glass, but not both).
