The Resistance: Avalon

We're not gonna "let" palmar do anything, he makes a decision and we vote. Without giving away too much, I'm gonna say this so that there's no confusion.

1. Never talk about scum strategy at all. Scum have no QT. They can't talk with each other. Anyone who tries to discuss what scum should do is helping scum enormously, because one of the few advantages we have over scum is they can't coordinate. Because discussing scum strategy helps scum a ton, I will automatically assume anyone who does it is scum.

2. Generally, vote "no" more than "yes", especially to teams you're not on. This will let us see more teams and see people's votes on more teams. If you are neutral, by default you should vote "no" on any given team.

let the leader do whatever he wants then vote

Oats, one townread based on the game so far?

With the atmosphere already i dont think any of the first three teams will get voted to go on a mission. I think its important to look at the fourth team and if the fourth team gets vetoed then 5th team must pass so.

Bh and palm have opposing views on whether we should vote. I like how palmer says we should keep an open mind on voting and not vote nay all the time but bh saying that we should look at a lot of teams also makes sense but that would saying nay to the first 2 3 teams with no real insight on how ppl voted. The real votes would count on the 4th team. It would be the one before the 5th and it would give a lot of info on whether it would be spy motivated or not.

This is what i think. Havent read any guides except for the wiki one. Trying to get a feel of how to play as i go along. I feel like if i read a guide it would lessen my experience with this game because it looks so interesting.

Anyway what i m trying to say is...whatever team you pick palm i think it ll be nayed 5 to 3 regardless of team comp. But i really wanna be picked so pick me!

I like this group. It includes two vets, and an agreed townread.

Should succeed, see vote thread.

Hmm marv thinks one of us is the spy and voted nay. I dont see the point in me voting yay if he thinks one of us is the spy. I even winked!

no marv thinks one of us is the spy so he voted nay right?

With 8 players the mission size is 3 4 4 5* 5 right

this means the Oats question can be averted fairly easily, getting the entire townteam right only matters for mission 5.

Looking at the OP, the 2nd is down to 36h for vote, then 3rd onwards is 24h.

So it's not too bad.

But in another game in another time, the 48h might have been totally necessary :>

Everyone have a joint, or a glass of port, or a long slow fuck, or whatever you fellows do to relax.

I d like to see what team bh slam and damd pick actually. Any team with them will fail but even so. If they pick a team that doesnt include them i might consider it.

On October 21 2014 05:48 marvellosity wrote:
You know why we landslided yay my team?

Not because I said so (well maybe a teensy), but because everyone recognised my team as probably our best shot at winning the round.

I pushed for a nayvote on this team because we included a notoriously unreadable player based on an incredibly tenuous "trap". It seems suboptimal at best to pass that team, especially on first round.

I know oats is difficult to read, but this kind of tricky thing jsut strikes me as a classic town oats move

but... why wouldn't you just say that? why say you'll explain it after the vote results? there's no answer to this other than that you're town

Why did everyone nay that vote btw?
What are your better teams if you nayed it cause you thought someone was scum?

I nayed it just to see how the voting fell in order to make a more informed decision

On October 22 2014 01:44 Blazinghand wrote:
I'd prefer a team to be oats + bats + 2 new players. rather than oats + bats + marv + one new player. I've also decided lian is acceptable. nay on this team cause it's not what I want

Oats why did you nay this team the first time?

On October 22 2014 14:08 Alakaslam wrote:
Well my thoughts are exactly the same.

I am openly not voting yet. Convince me why this team should or should not be the team.

Because I can't see how dead thread would result in successfully vetting the team...

Well, first off, we don't have to accept my team. I'm only the 4th, right? On top of that, given that a bunch of you have scumreads on me, aren't you like super interested to see what team I'd pick when I gotta put my money where my mouth is? This is pretty important information for you guys.

On October 23 2014 11:37 Blazinghand wrote:
My team would be Oats Bats Me Alakaslam

but just me saying that doesn't mean anything unless I say that and have it risk being voted in, see?

look, let's say the second mission is marv bat oats and... liancourt. and there's a fail. marv would deffo be kept on and put on a third mission. instead of saboing one mission and potentially blowing his cover, he gets to sabo two. you and bats, no offense, got no chance against marv in an argument. hell, even I don't, unless I bring my absolute A game. you know how this would go if he was scum.

You "don't expect to make a decision for a few days"?

lol Oats. lol. Activity for lian discounts him but not me? (with double the page count)

Biggest load of non-committal wishy washy nonsense I saw from you in a long time. Quite a feat.

On October 24 2014 22:12 marvellosity wrote:
Absolutely no curiosity on Oats' part, who if he's town would be thinking "wow, one of these 3 guys is a spy and didn't sabotage the mission first time round, who could it be and why?"

No curiosity at all.

Why on earth would everyone nay bats' mission? Such a random statement.

It's irrelevant how good I think you are as mafia.

You made a mistake only mafia make, not townies.

You admitted it's bad play - yes, and it's bad play a mafia in that situation makes, not a townie.

QED

On October 24 2014 22:40 marvellosity wrote:
lol. ok, you can push the defence that townies would show zero curiosity in that situation and come up with the crap you did.

The prosecution rests.

No, it's called behavioral analysis, which is at the very heart of mafia. Try it sometime.

It's not exaggerated at all, Oats.

"You don't have a mafiaread"

"er, yes I clearly do"

"oh yea... I guess I do, which I'd know if I paid attention to the thread in any way"

what is the exaggeration?

You literally accused me of something that was blatantly false.

On October 24 2014 23:37 marvellosity wrote:
Right. So your only justification for saying it was "super exaggerated" was my phrase in "any way".

What I said, however, is totally correct. You accused me of something that was blatantly false and verifiably false, and can be seen to be false by a basic read of the thread.

I told you, I don't want slam on that team. I also don't want you on a team. Also Damdred's team makes no sense so now I have no idea, unless he's town and stupid. I kinda thought damdred/slam/oats/bh was the mafias, or something close to that. Although I tend to give one mafia townread for no good reason.


I am naying this team.

I want me/marv/lian/bats.

On October 27 2014 17:41 Palmar wrote:
Lian is still confirmed town. Marv just giving up is so scummy he's probably town. As in, I don't think scum marv would admit sabotaging a game like that.

On October 27 2014 18:38 Palmar wrote:

marv bats and lian succeeded on day 1. Day 2 you got added in and it failed.

Unless you have a solid proof that soemone else from that team is mafia, then the simplest explanation is that you're mafia.

elaborate?

On October 27 2014 19:36 Palmar wrote:
Like if you're somehow town Oats, you know one of the three is mafia, so I guess no matter your alignment you're going to have to assume one of them is.

Also:



Seems like you don't agree with yourself.

I actually think mafia pushed BH's team through because they didn't want my team. I think there's three mafia in the yes-vote list.

So, I will be suggesting myself, bats and lian + 2 people who I deem to be town. I think one of them is going to be marv. Who wants the last spot (Oats is not invited). BH? Damdred? Slam?

I'm tempted to just yolo slam in there.

On November 03 2014 20:01 Palmar wrote:
Hell, three people who weren't on the team voted yes (Oats, Marv, Damdred).

Marv yesvotes everything.

The other two, I literally have no clue why you'd vote yes.

this game was way more depressing and less enjoyable than even the couple of games i got modkilled in. At least they had... passion, something, anything

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.
