Resistance 3.0: Medieval edition!

almost 9 years

Post if you wanna join, this is a game for 8. I've run this twice before and both times were quite successful.

From the Wiki:

The Resistance is a game where players attempt to deduce one another's identities. The setting of the game is an imagined battle between a resistance group trying to overthrow the malignant government and the government spies infiltrating the resistance group. It is similar in structure to party games such as Mafia and Werewolf, where a small, secret group of informed players attempt to disrupt a larger uninformed group, while the larger group attempts to identify the spies and eliminate them. The Resistance uses slightly different mechanics from similar games, and was designed to avoid player elimination and increase available information for player decisions.

Better than mafia as no one is lynched and everyone participate till game end.

This game will be for 8 players, 5 Knights of Arthur, and 3 Minions of Mordred.

For those unfamiliar,

Each day, a player is a quest leader (this follows a set order) and nominates a certain amount of people to go on the mission.

Everyone then votes on whether the quest should push through or be aborted.

If the quest is aborted, the day ends and the next person becomes leader.

If the quest pushes through, those on the mission proceed to PM me their action for the quest. Knights of Merlin members are required to always pass the quest, whilst Minions of Mordred can choose to either pass or fail. It only takes 1 fail for a quest to fail (except on the 4th quest, which takes 2)

Win Cons:

  • If 3 of the 5 quests succeed, the Knights of Arthur win the game.

  • If 5 nominations fail in a row, the Minions of Mordred win the game.

  • If 3 of the 5 quests fail, the Minions of Mordred win the game.

Next post for roles.

Pinche I guess could of been if not for passing the last mission? Except most of their reads/logic was wrong like there being two scum in the second/third quest and Sonia being scum. CAT really was the only viable option just from some basic logic.

jack couldn't have been Merlin because he was trying to insert the 3rd scum into Stragger's team. Sonia couldn't have been Merlin because she was passing Stragger's mission for awhile as well as passing the last mission. I likely wasn't Merlin because of the first team I set up as well as because of how I pushed the 3rd team and my reaction afterwards when it failed.

CAT was most likely Merlin purely because everyone else was so unsure the entire game and for the most part had the wrong reads. Merlin tends to be obvious when scum are getting townread a lot.

cat3101 was the most obvious merlin i have ever seen

Anyway this was a lot of fun. We should do another of these soon.


Oh and one last thought. Just appreciating in retrospect my little rant about Stragger being Merlin. jack probably thought I was signaling to the Assassin since he scumread me.

Pinche says

Ok. One more vote passes this. I'm not on it so I think scum wins but I can't flip this so I will put the dagger in the town coffin and say APPROVE

So it can be known my 5 town were
Stagger Nicki Myself Jack Cat


Bravo to Pinche who hammered a team they thought would lose us the game as town.

Oh and I was wrong on Sonrio. I only started to doubt him when right near the end he AGAIN put out his read that one of Sonia and I had to be scum because of our brief spat at the very beginning of the game. I really did think he was just playing an awful town game for the first 20 or so pages but it should of occurred to me sooner that not even Sonrio is that bad.

jack being PR not especially surprising but I guess he got Morg and Merlin backwards. Poor him, dude.

I too am included among the idiots though. Good game. I was fairly sure Stragger was scum by the time his nominations had passed but I knew there was no way people would follow me on that one till I had any amount of leverage so I was planning on hoping I'd get to nominate again. Sonia who was also probably town had made a statement suggesting she hard townreading him soo.

EDIT: Oh I remember this now. Retti saying he didn't change his mind on his own reads after voting abort is what convinced me he was scum. The way he was playing felt really Merlin-like (which I highlighted) but the fact that he was actually being stubborn on one read I knew he was wrong on, the read on myself, told me he probably wasn't actually Merlin. Shame.

Pinche was also blatant town after my initial push on them which I was kind of trying to hint at but oh well.

Sorry I was at work. Apparently the Minions of Mordred have won the game.

It was nickixminaj's early FAIL on round 1 that won it for the Minions imo.

Was hoping for it to go to Round 5, ah well, that was fun.


Minions were: Stragger, Sonrio, nickixminaj/voluntaryloser
