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.

I said earlier that despite my scuffle with her I never discounted her as possible town. I was more just being defensive and swinging back when swung at than actually trying to paint her as scum.

For me cat and Nicki are scum that I will never take...in Pinche and Sonrio that's a good guess

I care about what sonrio has to say in regards to seemingly tunneling uranus all day yesterday, and furthermore, seeing if uranus is OK with sonia suddenly too

It adds a lot of intrigue to the game in that people may dilute their reads in order to appear or not appear as Merlin.

The Assassin? It's a provision so Merlin doesn't just make themselves obvious and lead the town.

There will be 5 Knights of Arthur and 3 Minions of Mordred.

-3 Knights of Arthur, sided with the good and the just
- Merlin, who knows who the Minions of Mordred are
-Percival, who knows who Merlin and Morgana are, but does not know who is which

-1 Minion of Mordred
-The Assassin, should the Minions of Mordred lose the game, the assassin has one chance to guess who Merlin is
-Morgana, who appears to Percival as Merlin

^ WAIT WTF IS THIS???

Call it a cop out, but I'm really just not confident enough to say between the two of ya.

Pinche says

Alright Nat. Am I a good or evil in this game?


Not sure. I'm actually thinking the four we just sent are in fact town, so it may not even matter. I'm tempted to say your freakout was vaguely towny. That said, I also read some good lines from Sonrio which would make you scum by process of elimination. I'm afraid I don't have anything definitive to say between the two of you.

Stragger says

Do you think uranus/Sonia are aligned?


well i don't think they're both evil. that'd take an incredible amount of luck to coordinate the 1 fail on quest 1 and 2 passes on quest 2 with no outside communication

Uranus, I am not complaining, I am just very understandably confused at you saying that you don't think I am scum when I have 5 lines quoted above from you saying I am, one being that I am essentially confirmed . Can you not be ragingly rude?

Pinche continues to complain that I reaction tested them and they reacted to the fullest extent like chump they are. More on this at 11.

Essentially, switching the team we just sent isn't any better than keeping it the same. We may as well stick with what we know works.
