 ## What Is This?
 
-**Traitors** is a hidden-role game similar to Werewolf or Mafia. Among 10 players, 3 are secretly **Traitors** and the rest are **Citizens**. The Citizens must identify and vote out all Traitors.

 - **Social reasoning:** Players must track alliances, accusations, and contradictions across multiple days of discussion.
 - **Memory and consistency:** Players have personal histories and relationships that influence their decisions. A player who befriended someone on Day 1 may struggle to vote against them on Day 5, even if evidence suggests they are a Traitor.

 ## Game Structure
 
 Each **day** follows this structure:
 
-1. **Morning Summary** — Deaths from the previous night are announced publicly.
-2. **Day Round Table** — Living players speak in a random order. They can accuse, defend, share theories, or question others. All speeches are public.
-3. **Day Voting** — Each living player votes to eliminate one other living player. Votes are revealed simultaneously. Simple plurality wins; ties broken randomly.
-4. **Win Check** — If all Traitors are dead, Citizens win. If Traitors ≥ Citizens, Traitors win.
-5. **Night Round Table** — Living Traitors secretly discuss strategy and choose a victim.
-6. **Night Murder Vote** — Traitors vote on which non-Traitor to murder. Plurality wins; ties broken randomly.
-7. **Win Check** — Repeat until someone wins or max days reached.
+1. **Morning Narration** - The narrator dramatically recaps who was murdered overnight and sets the tone. (Skipped on Day 1.)

+3. **Day Voting** - Each living player votes to eliminate one other living player. Simple plurality wins; ties broken randomly.

 ## How to Run
 
-### From inside the traitors directory (simplest)
+Requires Python 3.11+ and the `opencode` CLI. No Python dependencies outside stdlib.
+
+### From any directory
+
+The traitors game writes all runtime artifacts to `games/` inside the **current working directory** (or `TRAITORS_WORK_DIR` if set). The tool code, personas, and config are read from the traitors installation directory.
 
 ```bash
-cd traitors
-npm install
-ORG_BENCH_MODEL=opencode-go/deepseek-v4-flash npm run game
-```
-
-This writes runtime output to `./runtime/` and `./results/` inside the traitors directory.

-The traitors game writes all runtime artifacts to the **current working directory** (or `TRAITORS_WORK_DIR` if set). The tool code, personas, and config are read from the traitors installation directory.

+TRAITORS_WORK_DIR=~/my-games python /path/to/traitors/run.py --name mygame
 ```
 
+Each game gets its own directory: `games/{name}_{model}_{timestamp}/`.
+
+### Resuming a game
+
+If the game is interrupted (Ctrl-C, crash, timeout), it checkpoints automatically. On next run, if an unfinished game is detected you'll be prompted to resume.
+
+To explicitly resume a specific game:
+
+```bash
+python /path/to/traitors/run.py --resume mygame
+```
+
+The `--resume` value is matched as a substring against game directory names.

+# TODO
+
+## Game pacing
+
+- Players have no time to process events. After a night murder or a day
+  elimination, the next phase starts immediately with no "reaction" beat.
+  Consider adding a brief reflection/reaction phase after each death where
+  living players can comment on what just happened before moving to the next
+  round table or vote.
+
+- The morning phase currently just prints status. It could prompt each player
+  (or a subset) for a short reaction to the previous night's murder, giving
+  citizens a chance to discuss suspicions while memories are fresh.
+
+## Game balance (traitors win too easily)
+
+- Even with 15 players / 3 traitors, traitors have a structural advantage:
+  they coordinate perfectly at night and citizens vote semi-randomly during
+  the day. A single lucky citizen elimination doesn't change the trajectory
+  much because the traitors still get a free kill every night.
+
+- Possible fixes:
+  - Shield / protection mechanic: one citizen can be "protected" each night
+    (either by vote or a designated role)
+  - Require unanimous traitor vote for murder (forces real consensus, and
+    disagreements waste a night)
+  - Give citizens more information after eliminations (e.g., reveal one
+    relationship or voting pattern of the eliminated player)
+  - Add a "detective" or "seer" role that gets a private clue each night
+  - Reduce traitor coordination: don't show traitors the full night
+    discussion history, only partial (simulates whispering)
+  - Increase player count or reduce traitor count (e.g., 15 players / 2
+    traitors makes the math much harder for traitors)

-## Strategy Tips
-- Sow distrust among Citizens. Point fingers at innocent people.
-- Coordinate with your fellow Traitors at night, but don't make your alliance obvious during the day.
-- Sometimes voting against a fellow Traitor (if they are about to be caught) can earn you trust.
-- Use your relationships: frame a grudge, or protect a friend to look innocent.
+**Strategy:** Sow distrust among Citizens. Point fingers at innocent people. Coordinate at night but don't make alliances obvious by day. Sometimes voting against a doomed Traitor earns trust. Use relationships to frame or deflect.
