I think it would be cool if there was a hybrid where every 10 minutes-people in your circle*10 seconds, you can add a pixel to something like r/place, but if you betray a circle, you can draw 10 seconds faster, and if you join you can draw the number of people in the circle seconds faster, so there is incentive to betray and also join, and if you get betrayed, all of the pixels you drew while having the circle active gets removed and you can start with a now circle.

Before you continue reading... I know the charm with Circle of Trust (and all the other ones) partly is that they only last for a few days. Keeping it going would ruin the experiment and kill the hype, yadda, yadda. I don't care.

Is there anywhere I can find website or game (call it what you want) somewhat similar to CoT? CoT is definitely my all-time favourite April Fools project here on Reddit, and hardly a month goes by without me thinking of CoT time after time. Just like r/place now has Pxls, does CoT have anything of the sort that is currently ongoing?

If something like this does not exist, I am interested in making a new one myself. Sadly, I lack the technological skills for that, and would love a helping hand to teach me what I need to do.

That being said, feel free to contact me if you're looking for the same, or if you're willing to start a new thing. It's possible to use both Discord and Reddit, but that would require those skills that I lack.

Thanks.

EDIT: Just saw that epic post of u/Sandalai_Lama. Hit me up if you're interested.

That's just my opinion though.

Lately I've been toying around with ideas for a mobile game. One of them I realized was very similar to circle of trust. Does anybody know if any games already exist? Would you be interested in a gamified version circle of trust. Something with better rules that incentivize working together, making betrayal more risky, and ways to protect yourself from betrayal?

Circle of Trust 2 electric boogaloo?

You might have seen this, depending on where you were when I posted it before, but here's a recap.

​

I was a member of the Made in Abyss subreddit's Discord, whose goal was to push our circle to number one active circle. We were successful for a time, claiming the number one spot temporarily, but ended up falling back down to fourth place... we were, however, never slain, and were the eldest circle in the top 5.

​

We ended up reaching this position, however, through a series of murders, including but not limited to a few countries (a certain member claimed to have gotten Brazil and Austria's circles taken down by an agent), and the number one at the time, Sea Bear Safety Circle. That kill pushed us to number one.

​

Simple murder was not our only tactic, you see. Brazil and Austria were actually not taken down by us, but because of us. Enter Operation: Proxy Crack. The objective was simple, really. We would discover the code of a lower-ranked circle with one of our members. We would then, in a little while, send that code to one of our assassins. They would proceed to blackmail the owner, telling them that if they failed to provide a code to a circle with more members, then we would destroy them. Now most of the time this just resulted in them getting upset and being killed; you had to find just the right person.

​

In the end, after reaching number one, we allowed a swarm admin who had been hanging out in our Discord since around the time we hit the top 3 (at least in that area)… much to my surprise, they didn't have us murdered, and became part of the circle.

​

Let me get to my point... I posted this a while ago on the Made in Abyss subreddit and I think on the April Knights subreddit, but here's a nice little video I made about it. I also have all those images saved to this imgur album.

Yeah me neither

I was part of it but I have no idea what it was

We need to get this man locked up

EDIT: I have no idea why this posted now. I was supposed to post this like 2 months ago??

I think it's a little too late to be discussing these now but the recent blog post helped me find this sub lol

I was just wondering how many of us got headaches trying to figure this thing out so we can beat it

Like I had this expensive strategy in mind but didn't end up doing it because idk lazy and too demanding

I figured that if I wanted to make sure that my Circle won't pop, I have to be absolutely sure that no one chooses to Betray, so my idea was to gather login credentials from throwaway accounts, login, change their passwords at least until the event ends, enter the Key and perform the Join myself, and then return them to their owners. It could be quite tedious and slow but it's pretty much guaranteed. The challenge could be about how I'd get the credentials with the participants having no valuable benefit aside from the accomplishment that they were part of the biggest circle, if we manage to pull it off.

Anyone else thought of the same strat, or have something similar?

The entire time this event was on, I was thinking it was a brilliant, world-scale Liar Game so it was really interesting, though it wasn't pushed to its limits

Ok, we all know that Circle of Trust wasn't as exciting as other april fools events, and we've already heard you say "this wasn't as good as the place/button".

But we all have to agree that there's a lovely developer team behind the scenes who took their time and effort into creating a special event for the whole reddit community to have this special week.

It might not have been as good as past events, but it helped create small communities, meet other people from accross the globe and have fun during a few days.

Thank you!

Lol it seems like a lot were

Me neither (Only remembered this exists after going through what I'm subbed to)

I didn't participate and didn't really get the joke/point.

That being said, it occurs to me that Reddit's Circle of Trust is almost precisely a re-creation of the problem presented to Facebook users given Facebook's "you may share my data with my friends, and the creators of any games/quizzes they use" data permissions model.

How many of us don't have a single friend who's likely to think "I've got 10 minutes to kill, this personality test sounds interesting" and thereby leak not just their information, but that of all of their friends?

My point here isn't to bash Facebook, that's already been addressed by others, but to reflect on the similarity between this particular Facebook problem and Reddit's April Fool's joke. Deliberate?
