The Resistance - Game Thread

[Kael]

And, rather obviously, I vote YES to my own proposal, in case that matters.

[Crumb]

Wait...

[SR71]

LA LA LA LA FA

[Crumb]

Actually, I want to change the voting on mission proposals. The previous proposal allowed some members to skate by without voting and it also encourages the spies to wait on voting until the issue is deciding.

Proposal 2.2(i.e. Mission 2, Proposal 2) - JEROME, Gonzo, and Adam

Please PM your votes to me Yes or No for this proposal.

Oh wait, I get it, Adam is in charge for first mission, and there are two spies, but we only know who we are, not anybody else. And you can't just ask point blank. Plus what adam and crumb said. OK, the spies know each other. ANyway, this blows, I have to go to work now.

Wait, what, then how can we see how players are voting, this is an advantage for the Spies.

[Adam]

Yah, that seems like it might rob us of some info. Are you going to publish the votes after they're made? PM sent.

[Crumb]

I will present the votes publicly after I get them all. I think this is the best way to replicate the actual game where everyone picks their votes without seeing the votes of the others. I will take Jerome's and Kael's votes from here this time. But I think the resistance team would do better if we use the PM vote system.

I'm just waiting on Gonzo's vote now.

[Jerome]

OK I guess, but this is a definite advantage for the Spies. The order of players votes, when they placed their vote, this can be telling.

[Crumb]

Being able to duck votes or make meaningless votes would be a much bigger advantage for the spies.

Why has Gonzo abandoned us?

We still wouldn't know for sure even if the mission fails with the new guy added, but if it does the next mission is a two-person, which would give us a good chance of ruling someone out.

So the question is, me, Adam, or SR71?

I am for this.

Why has Gonzo abandoned us?

Sorry. Busy lately. Shouldn't be trying to do a half dozen things at once.

(I am voting yes, yo)

Proposal	Adam	SR71	Kael	Gonzo	Jerome	Mission Result
1.1 - JEROME and Gonzo	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Success
2.1 - Adam, Kael and Gonzo	No			No	No	n/a
2.2 - JEROME, Gonzo, and Adam	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

Adam, Gonzo and Jerome you are on mission 2. Please send in SUCCEED or FAIL PMs to me.

[Crumb]

The mission was sabotaged from the inside! MISSION 2: FAILED

Mission	Result	Votes	Players
1	Success	2S	Gonzo, Jerome
2	FAILED	2S, 1F	JEROME, Gonzo, and Adam
3
4
5

Our leader is now Gonzo. For mission 3 we need a team of 2.

#	Player	Mission 3
1	Adam
2	SR71
3	Kael
4	Gonzo	*Leader*
5	Jerome

[Adam]

Come on, somebody accuse me so I can point out that it would make absolutely no sense for me to suggest that plan if I knew it was going to incriminate me.

[Gonzo]

I'll decided after somebody accuses Adam.

[SR71]

It's still all guess work. Send Gonzo and Jerome again. That worked once.

[Adam]

One of them is a spy.

[Gonzo]

Not it!

Yeah, but that's just part of your long-con scheme, see? I'm on to you...

So, I think it's safe to assume that either Gonzo or Jerome is a spy, though of course we can't completely dismiss the possibility that Adam is (see 'long-con' above).

It's also still possible that some combination of two of the three are spies, but I think this is unlikely if they're not allowed to coordinate directly.

So, do we send the two that haven't gone yet, myself and SR71, or do we grill the three and try to pick out which ones are more likely to be spies?

[SR71]

Right now we know at least one of three is a spy. If we send Gonzo and Jerome again, and it succeeds, we can pretty well clear those two. Then we just have to pick one more loyal operative, and it's in the bag. This seems the clearest path forward.

[Gonzo]

Adam who should I send?
