Resistance 3.0: Medieval edition!

about 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.

I want to say I'm absolutely not okay with jack's suggestion of switching CAT for nicki. Nicki and Sonia being there gaurentees one scum. Then again, CAT is an unknown and bringing that pair along with three townreads might be the safer option.

if you think sonia is town (and i havent seen you say that you think sonrio is scum) the only two people left would be cat and pinche

i think the team is uranus/pinche and some third i haven't thought about.

But just assuming jack is scum is a hard sell, Sister Stragger. I certainly haven't counted him out as a possibility but man...

The question for me this game has always been about nicki vs Sonia. When you throw jack in the mix and assume he's scum, Sonia suddenly looks a whole lot townier.

I mean.... man.... idk :\

So basically you're asking me right now if I'm willing to bet the entire game on nicki and jack being scum.....

So wait the people not on that mission are myself, jack, and Nicki?

I'm trying to think whether I'm willing to bank on four town being in there.

ok, i still think there's 2 evil in that case

uranus and pinche's reactions seem rather forced when you get down to it and i think pinche is hamming it up with pretending to be stupid about everything. i only nominated pinche because i'm trusting my other reads and i'm put into a situation where i didn't want to put uranus on there or nearly the same team as before, so i didn't pick you for that matter jack

if there's only 1 scum we're fine. if you can talk me into sonrio and pinche both being town i can get behind it

I think there's most likely 1 scum on that 2? I don't know i'll need to think more on that

jack says

ok but do you also believe that it will succeed and not fail?


i think it will succeed honestly, more so if i was able to put nicki on the mission but i'm just playing to the crowd with that list. i don't think all players on that list are scum but i'd definitely take my chances with it barring that i town-read sonrio and sonia

Stragger says

bare in mind my nominations are based on what i believe is most likely to be passed instead of just aborted.

abort. it's not a case of me not being on the quest, it's a case of i'm pretty sure there's 2 evil on that. also, if it does indeed pass, do not under any circumstances blindly propose the same 5 next time
