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.

>Just for clarification, this resistance game has NO outside communication. Also, no screenshotting/pming/skyping as thatll ruin the fun. Keep communication in the game thread.
almost 9 years
to simplify my question: can scum communicate outside the game like in forum mafia?

Uranus says

wait so if two scum are on the same mission, can they coordinate who will vote sabotage? are they allowed to communicate like that?


Um I don't think you're suppose to but I don't see what would stop them

To put it in that point I think of it as normal maf if you had a partner who would be basic scum read for doing nothing (Radio in that case) And the quest failed you could point it to your partner maybe getting a few townie points to go along with it

CAT3101 says

ok so that means at least one of them are mordred things

I say me, sonia, jack, and radio go on this next mission


if cat is scum, would he put another scum (RadioYouth/Pinche) on his suggested team?
almost 9 years
Sonrio is someone i'm very scared to tr atm because they have the same mindset of Pinche but they are trying to say reasoning so i'll need more to get a good read I had a tr on cat before everyone posted these lines now i'm a bit messy atm
almost 9 years
Holy you people get good when I go away wth is this I'm really disliking this because I am miss reading someone somewhere because I had so many town reads atm I think Pinche is 1 scum 1 in Uranus/nicki (Who I am very much leaning on being nicki for Uranus's lines today) And I would say 1 in Cat and Jack Jack is a vet player like me who can do a lot of things to seem towny but can be scum so it's always hard to guess If jack is scum this is going to 100% Fail because guess what's gonna happen: Everyone turns to me and Uranus having scum sit in the backround see what I mean?
almost 9 years
again, any mission Pinche is included in will be auto-failed by me. and anyone who even hints that they're townreading Pinche will be heavily scrutinized. don't be stupid. we essentially have one confirmed scum.
almost 9 years
Pinche, Sonia/nicki, CAT/jack

is where I'm at right now. Pinche's abysmal read on nicki is kind of throwing me for a loop. I think it was a null interaction since Pinche was probably just looking for an excuse to jump on the "fos Uranus" bandwagon and Sonia is a really easy townread for anyone to justify right now.
almost 9 years
thats why i want more input from sonia before i ~consider~ passing this
deletedalmost 9 years
if the mission fails id be looking at jack the most probably
almost 9 years
Pinche is one, I'm not sure about the other two. Despite my scuffle with Sonia I'm very much considering the possibility of her being town, which is why I passed this mission. I think as scum here she actually may sabotage the mission as she seems to have a bit of an upperhand on me.
deletedalmost 9 years
so your team is shaping up to be CAT/Pinche/Sonia right now?
almost 9 years
I'm fairly convinced Sonrio is a foolhardy town this game.
deletedalmost 9 years
i think sonrio has a chance to be misugided inexperienced compared to pinche whom i agree has not had a good start thus far. i appreciate sonrio at least making a minor attempt to explain himself even if it's not exactly what i want. the only person that would really maybe surprise me and someone i'm looking at right now as a wild card is jack.
almost 9 years
Pinche is still scum btw. If I was scum I wouldn't of been so vocal about failing CAT's mission because it contained Radio (who Pinche replaced) because there's a scum on it so I wouldn't have cared.
deletedalmost 9 years
uranus putting herself on the mission at the time is seemingly null compared to you and pinche who have been vocalizing that you want to be on the mission for no other reason than 'lol im town'

Stragger says

that doesn't really get us anywhere though and you don't really have much of substantial proof, which is what you lack right now




i wasnt even fossing uranus so much as i explained in my post from like 2 days ago, i just thought she as scum would nominate herself and fail it in order to frame one of the other two. my read has no other basis other than that


That's a terrible read. Why would I not put myself in the first mission if I know I'm town?

Honestly, how the hell can you scumread someone putting themselves in a mission? That's completely ridiculous and you should feel foolish for even thinking it.

I sort of get the feeling we've already lost this one because we're probably going to get to mission 5 at the rate we're going and most likely at least one of the people tunneling me for a completely idiotic reason is town.
almost 9 years
yes and i disagree

Sonrio says

i want more input from sonia then. i still think if one of uranus and sonia are scum this mission is bound to fail and since sonia is passing it i want to know why she thinks uranus will pass, scum or not


His point is that even if Sonia/myself are scum, neither of us will dare fail it.
