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.

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

from whats happened so far i probably would, but i need more from sonia to make a justified read on both of them before i start to rampage

deletedalmost 9 years

so what are you gonna do if the mission fails like you think? continue to tunnel uranus?

Sonrio

oh and jack too. did you have the same mindset as retti?

Sonrio

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

deletedalmost 9 years

from how i see it you can basically win this game by turning scum into a scenario like this, instead of giving them breathing room and having fingers to point.

deletedalmost 9 years

what we know from quest one:

nicki uranus sonia - PASS PASS FAIL

see the discrepancy? putting both uranus and sonia on the same mission allows it that even if they were scum they would not risk revealing themselves by failing, because it's confirmed one of these three did so.

Sonrio

hey i mean one of them failed the first mission so that kinda throws that out

deletedalmost 9 years

in a situation where it does fail, the game gets harder instead of easier for scum as it goes on, and scum is revealing more information if they choose to fail because they are guaranteeing that there is one scum between those elected for the mission right now. does that make sense?

deletedalmost 9 years

because they both want to look town, over just failing a mission. people more experienced have been speaking mathematically about this whole scenario and i don't believe that either of them as scum would fail the mission because they're the ones being focused right now, which means it's likely they would ever be elected again, and scum needs more numbers as the game goes on iirc.

Stragger says

i also think nicki's reasoning isn't all too stelllar so that's why i want to abort this too, though i didn't understand why uranus would because i haven't seen her have problems with me or jack (maybe nicki) but passing at first was telling in that sense that she hasn't really thought about nicki as much unless im completely wrong.

the other side of the spectrum is sonia getting at uranus because of that and earlier i liked uranus' hesitance before but i'd say sonia is actually the more logical here, which what matters to me more.

that being said i want to put them both on a mission because i believe that even if one were scum, they would both choose to pass because they would want to look town so they don't look incriminating, or at least that's what i think.

why wouldnt they fail it so they would frame the other? framing someone + failing a mission seems like a really good combo if you have the confidence to play great after, which is why im hesitant to say sonia is town as shes playing pretty well.

aka uranus wanted a pass most and sonia did pretty well so id be damned if they were both town. nickixminaj is nothing more than a bug to me.

these two are on opposite sides, abort this at once

this doesn't make any sense to me. i've read it like 5 times and i can't decipher what it is you're trying to say.

deletedalmost 9 years

okay but sonrio did you read my reasoning as to why i think sonia/uranus on a team would be good? it's like a page back

Sonrio says

reread uranus and sonia. this mission is going to fail. please abort at once

i think you're under the jurisdiction to explain this..i really shouldn't have to repeat myself..this isn't a game of (epic)mafia where you speak loosely about something and expect people to understand..

how is any of that highly indicative of towniness or "genuine"? honestly that's the most forced read I've ever seen in my life.

I hereby declare I'm failing every single mission Pinche is on from here on out in the game.

nickixminaj says

alright so i'm going to nominate jack, stragger, uranus, and myself. i'm nominating them because i believe they are all town from what happened after the first quest.

nickixminaj says

well since fmpov its either sonia or uranus, im going to fail

deletedalmost 9 years

Sonia just seems to have a lot of good lines and Nicki is seemingly following a really townie thought process in the things that she says. Let me quote.

deletedalmost 9 years

My ideal 4:
Stragger, Jack, Myself, and Sonia.

deletedalmost 9 years

you could've reached this conclusion long ago or said something instead of having me beat it out of you. now elaborate why you think that is specifically

deletedalmost 9 years

Alright. Here's something:
I think Sonia is town and I believe Nicki is being genuine so I am not passing this mission because it involves the 3rd party from quest one, Uranus.

deletedalmost 9 years

that's not an excuse to be belligerent nor offer anything worthwhile, which you haven't thus far
