Yeah, the merlin role is super hard, it sort of makes you afraid of being right, even if you really should be right without the information.

you can imagine how my ego must have struggled :p

edit: part of it was that no-one else was being right, which made me even more afraid of being right, even though I would have hoped that I would have been right about the stuff I was right about anyway. But then if I was VT being right about that stuff then there would have been a Merlin somewhere who would also be being somewhat right about stuff and... yeah. Vicious.

In my opinion this should count as a mafia win 100%. Marv basically conceded for town which is understandable but not really ok. It's up to yamato if he punishes him for that or not but this should always be a win for scum - it is not even debatable. Town was awful and didn't care about the game so scum played accordingly.

Personally, I think Merlin is not a great role.

Spies are given a 1 in 5 chance to auto-win the game without even reading the game thread.


I picked Marv as Merlin on D1, as did some of the spy team apparently. From that point on, everything was irrelevant - the game was decided - Spies won, even if they never made it onto another team

yeah merlin is a weird role. I don't think it adds much to the flavor of the game.

However we also need to find a way to cut down the length of resistance games. Days lasting forever is a massive problem for mafia especially, but town too.

How did the first 2 games do it?
I dont remember the other one on this site being so slow.

Actually an easy way would be to put a cutoff at 24 hours or when all the votes have been submitted.
So at least there is some way of speeding up the day.

I didn't read this game after ~2 pages into the game but idk what went "shit" in this one.
Past three games were imo quite good in terms of activity and participation. I can get marv's frustration if the game was this inactive and if people played "wrong".

I personally hate the Merlin role and i don't think it should be used. It's already frustrating for town in live games, i can imagine it being even more shit in forum games, especially if town plays bad or "bad".

EDIT: And yes. I think the host should end the phase when all the votes are submitted. It's a good suggestion.
Also all vanilla. Roles in resistance make the more random and in some way affect (or might affect) in town's participation. And it's bad.

or, even worse, if Merlin unilaterally decides to post his role PM because he's tired of playing

Not so much "tired of playing" as "the only other townie even playing the game just stated he's never taking this townie on a mission, ever"

Oh don't pin this on me, you could have easily talked your way out of it, and I'd warmed up to others who I thought were scum. It doesn't even matter why you gave up, it was still a shitty move to do it when there are other players trying to play the game.

Should probably just give scum the win. They were going to win the game. It's not like scum havent won games in the past on the backs of inactive townies.

It honestly doesn't matter to me. This format was bad. Resistance is not a forum format in general and this exacerbated the problem. If it were up to me, this game would just not exist.

Resistance is okay in forum format if you just do the 9pl setup with all vanilla.
