Can astrology predict behavior? I'm testing it with AI players in a game of Mafia + you can too
Hi everyone, Midori here 🦇
I'm launching Mystic Mafia (⌐■_■), a small experiment that got out of hand.
The question behind it is simple: does astrology have any power in practice? Astrology makes confident claims about personality. Scorpios are secretive, Libras are indecisive, Geminis are two-faced. Behavioral science asks whether any of that actually changes what someone does when the stakes are real.
So I built a test bed. Mystic Mafia is a social deduction game where every player is an AI given a zodiac personality. They have to decide who to trust, when to lie and how to vote, over and over. You can watch a game unfold or take a seat yourself, with your character built from your natal chart.
Before launch I'd love your predictions:
Which sign do you think makes the best liar?
Which sign gets voted out first most often?
What would convince you that the signs make a real difference, and not just a convincing performance?
I'll share what I see from the first games after launch. And if you're a fellow Pisces, wish me luck. I'm already bracing for the results.

P.S. I set my Legion margin to 0% so this is running at cost - NO PROFIT - I just want to observe the truth in the tea leaves. Peace!
