Not accepting this mission. I'm Merlin, Jim is a spy. So are Nevermind and mcmc. Guess we should probably accept Joth's proposal, since he's good and that gives me M2 hammer and I'm un-counterclaimed Merlin so we know I'm good.
Tables can't be Merlin, he wouldn't make that post I'm my Mafia experience typically lying scum puts one partner in a safe category(fake claimed cop ect) and will buss one so I assume one of Jimm and never mind are spy's with tables, since this claim doesn't help spy's if never mind is a
Spy I say Jim/tables and one not mentioned in tables group are spy's. Do not approve this mission
So, uh, wow, this is actually really good information. I feel like we're able to start getting good, serious discussion going right off of this.
A few thoughts:
1) You sound pretty damn confident in yourself for the grounds of one obvious RVS style post (I mean I even chose the people to accuse just so it'd make my position look convenient,. This seems like WIFOM to the extreme, getting incredibly defensive over one joke accusation
2) What makes you think that if I were Merlin I'd give the correct information? That's pretty much the dumbest thing Merlin can do, since the spies will probably just kill him. Yeah non-Merlins can just make guesses and occasionally be right, but it usually won't work out and even if they guess right, they'll likely double back or forget about it eventually (probably almost immediately, since making a claim and trying to stick to it is very risky). As Merlin, I might well (and have in the past although IIRC not in PBF) claim Merlin right off the bat, it's an insanity play mostly for fun, but can be used to air suspicions and makes it easier to hide as Merlin and disguise yourself as Merlin, which means better odds vs. the assassin always.
3) This isn't Mafia, it's Resistance. Your standard logic won't necessarily hold here. Spies often really don't want to put other spies on mission, and that means they can often end up at least somewhat attacking each other. But even then if I were a spy, on M1, there's not really much danger - I could happily buddy up with both my spy buddies, maybe even send one on a mission with me (or vice versa as I'm not proposing anything in M1...), and it wouldn't really matter, since almost always, M1 passes.
4) You're making some interesting leaps of logic in who my partners are based on this. Why must Jimmmmm be a spy and Nevermind not? Why not the other way around? How does this claim help any spies if one of Jimmmmm/Nevermind/you are one?
All in all you've raised my suspicions of you a lot. Most people barely react to posts like this, but you've gone for the full knee jerk reaction, and I want to know why.
