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.
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

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.

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

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?
deleteddeletedover 10 years ago
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.
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

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..
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.

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

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
deleteddeletedover 10 years ago
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.

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