Resistance: Avalon - Advanced
Set Up:
Merlin
Percival
Mordred/Assassin
Good Lancelot
Evil Lancelot
Excalibur
PMs:
Welcome, Player1. You are Merlin. Player5 is Evil Lancelot.
Welcome, Player2. You are Percival. Player1 is Merlin.
Welcome, Player3. You are Mordred. Player5 is Evil Lancelot. If 3 missions are successful, you may win for Evil by correctly identifying Merlin.
Welcome, Player4. You are Good Lancelot. At the start of the game, you are aligned with Good.
Welcome, Player5. You are Evil Lancelot. At the start of the game, you are aligned with Evil.
The following will be sent when appropriate:
You are now aligned with Good.
You are now aligned with Evil.
All messages will have the same heading.
Rules for Lancelots (Variant #1):
Set Up
Use both Lancelot character cards included in the promo in place of one Good and One Evil character card.
Build a Loyalty deck of 5 cards –three “No Change” (blank) cards and two “Switch Allegiance” cards. Shuffle and place the Loyalty deck adjacent to the Score Tableau.
Reveal Phase:
The Evil Lancelot does notopen his eyes, but instead extends his thumb so that he is known to the other agents of Evil.
Play:
Gameplay proceeds as normal, with the following exceptions: At the beginning of the 3rd round and at the very start of each subsequent round flip one card from the Loyalty deck. If the card is “No Change”, there is no change of allegiance and play continues as normal.
If the “Switch Allegiance” card is drawn, Lancelot has had a change of heart. The two Lancelot players secretly switch their allegiances. This switch applies to all aspects of game play including victory conditions and rules regarding playing Quest cards. They do not swap or show their Character cards.
It is possible that Lancelot will switch allegiance once, twice or even not at all during a game.
Rules for Excalibur:
He who controls Excalibur has tremendous power, for Good or Evil. Choose wisely, and use cautiously lest the forces of Evil be strengthened.
Excalibur can be added to the game as an optional player power. Excalibur gives a member of the Quest Team the ability to alter the outcome of the Quest by switching another player’s played Quest card.
During the Team Building Phase, Excalibur is assigned by the Leader to one of the players on the Team by giving that player both a Team token and the Excalibur card. The Leader cannot assign Excalibur to himself.
During the Quest Phase, Team Members select their Quest card and play it face down in front of themselves so that it is clear which player played what card. Before collecting the played Quest Cards, the player with Excalibur may tell any one other player to switch their Quest cards (the unplayed card becomes the played card).
After switching the cards, the player with Excalibur looks at the switched card (the card that was originally played). He thus knows which card that player chose, and if his switch was beneficial or harmful to the Quest. The Leader then collects and shuffles the played Quest cards before revealing as normal.
Example: Ron, the Leader, entrusts Sarah to both be on the Team and wield Excalibur. He also chooses himself and Pat to be on the Team. After the Team is approved, Ron, Pat and Sarah play their Quest cards in front of themselves. Sarah elects to use Excalibur and switches the Quest card that Pat had played. Sarah then looks at the Quest card that Pat originally played (Quest Success) and she knows that her switch has doomed the Quest to Fail. The Leader collects and shuffles the Quest cards before revealing two Success and one Fail cards.
Note:
1. Good Lancelot and Evil Lancelot are role names, regardless of alignment. If they switch alignment, the player with the role Good Lancelot is now aligned with Evil, and the player with the role Evil Lancelot is now aligned with Good. Whichever one is currently aligned with Good must succeed missions, while the one currently aligned with Evil may choose. No extra information will be given to Merlin or Mordred if and when they swap.
2. Example mission proposal:
Propose: Player1, Player2, Player3
Excalibur: Player2
For clarity's sake, please specify which player holds Excalibur even for the 2-person missions.
3. Votes are to be sent to me by PM. The Leader for each proposal auto-accepts by default. If you wish to reject a mission you have proposed, please send your vote immediately. To help me keep track of votes, please specify the Mission and Proposal number in the heading of your message.
4. The game will have 48-hour proposal deadlines and 24-hour vote/mission deadlines. If you are holding Excalibur and you know ahead of time what you wish to do, you may submit your Excalibur action along with your mission card. If you choose not to, I will announce when I have received all the mission cards, and you will have 24 hours to submit your Excalibur action, either in the thread or by PM. There is no penalty for missing a deadline other than the possibility that I will search for a replacement if you miss deadlines repeatedly or for an extended period without explanation. Please do your best to meet the deadlines.
5. Once a valid proposal has been made, it cannot be changed. You may change your vote up until I announce the result, and if you are Evil you may change your mission card up until I announce that I have received all mission cards, or the result of the mission is announced.
6. If 3 missions succeed, Mordred will have 48 hours to assassinate a player. This can be changed up until the deadline, unless you indicate that you've made your final choice. All players may discuss freely during this time, and I will reveal nothing about roles or alignments.
7. This is a difficult game. Each role is challenging to play. I recommend you avoid falling into auto-pilot and keenly remember which roles are present.

So there's no limit on the number of times excalibur can be used in a game?

Someone will be holding Excalibur as part of every mission proposal. When a mission is accepted, the person holding it will have to decide whether or not to use it.

Given we're full already, we can start:

No preference, I'm cool starting whenever

I don't care much either, but at the earliest Monday.

D.) All of the above

I guess if no one has any preference might as well start Monday!
-
Cool, I'll send PMs when I get home in a couple of hours, and start on Monday absent any objections.
-
Remember, it is your responsibility to ensure you understand all the rules prior to starting the game. If there's anything you're unsure about, PM me or read up. I want to avoid comments such as "I still don't really get it" that we seemed to get throughout the last two games.
-
Neutral Lancelot: Doesn't care much, sits around eating a watercress sandwich. Victory conditions are met if he finishes the sandwich.
-
So, just to be sure -- Excalibur can be used any mission at the leader's choice. But there is no limit on how many times it can be used, and the leader doesn't have to use it if they don't want to.
Is this correct?
-

Is this correct?
No. When the leader proposed a mission, he gives Excalibur to someone else on the mission - not himself. They can then either use it or not. There's no limit on how many times it can be used, other than 5 as there are 5 missions.
-
Is it compulsory or optional?
-
Is it compulsory or optional?
Sorry, yes that was unclear.
Whenever you propose a mission, you must choose someone on the mission other than yourself to have Excalibur. This choice is made before the mission is voted for, and is part of what everyone is voting for.
So whenever a mission is approved, someone will have Excalibur. Once all the mission cards have been played, the person holding Excalibur must choose to either not use it, or use it on someone, seeing the card they played and swapping it for the one the didn't play.
I'll update the OP with details on how to propose missions etc before the game starts. I haven't sent PMs yet because I realised Monday is probably further away for you than it is for me.
-
Ok that clears that up, thanks!
-
PMs sent! Please reply to confirm receipt of your PM and that you understand all rules.
Game will start sometime on Monday morning, forum time.
Feel free to ask me any more rules questions.

Archetype has been randomly selected to be the first Leader.
Player order is as follows:
mail-mi
liopoil
Archetype
Twistedarcher
WalrusMcFishSr
I will always list players in this order. Colours in this case indicate current and potential leaders for this mission.
Archetype has 48 hours to propose a team of two people to go on the first mission.
The game has begun.
Thread Unlocked.

Pick me!

Pick me!

Don't pick me. I'm one of the evil ones! Mwa ha ha ha ha!
-
So...Excalibur. I have no idea how this card will play. Initial thought is that the threat of Excalibur is more powerful than the actual power is Excalibur.
-
Yeah man, Excalibur looks like a real wild card.
My initial thought was that I have no idea how Excalibur will/should be utilized haha.
My second thought was this:
Well, based on discussion in the last game, it seems quite probable that even if there is scum on the first mission, they'll pass it through anyway. So what would be the point of using Excalibur if it's liable to flip a 'pass' to a 'fail' anyway? If anything it seems like a good excuse for scum to "steal" the first mission and play it off as an accident. So I don't really see a good reason to use it M1. Plus it gives us collectively a while to ponder/discuss strategy haha.
Thoughts on these thoughts? Just impressions really and I'd love to hear what you guys think.
-
here's the deal with excalibur:
it makes it possible for a mission with two good guys to fail. This is bad. So I think we should agree that if you use excalibur, at least for this mission, you are a spy.
using excalibur as a good guy for this mission is only good if the other player is a spy and failed the mission. This is unlikely. And is an excuse for a spy to use it, and still maintain that both players are good.
So I will assume that anyone who uses excalibur for this mission is a bad guy, and will not use excalibur if I get it.
-
Exactly lio, that's what I was trying to get at. I agree with the no M1 Excalibur pledge.
-
Second what liopoil says.
I also think it's a bad idea to give someone Excalibur with an agenda (as in, hey liopoil, I'm giving you Excalibur and you should use it). Spies will use that information way more than we can.
One good thing is that double fails this game are much more likely. No one knows modred and there's a chance that on m3 and m4, both very crucial missions, neither spy knows the other.
-
also: there are exactly 5 people. that means that whoever's proposal goes through will get the hammer for the next mission. that's something to keep in mind for sure.

Some theory thoughts --
No one should ever, ever, ever claim their role (prior to mission 5). This is specifically referring to the Lancelots, since Merlin and Percival would never claim. Don't claim. Just don't do it. Don't use it as an example of "Yeah, you were right with your read earlier, but now I'm good!" This gives scum a 50/50 shot of winning even if three missions are passed.
Also, don't try to deduce other's roles in thread. Keep in mind, you have different information than what Modred has -- but he still has a decent amount, and will be able to read into our thoughts. Saying "I think player X is Good Lancelot!" gives away a lot of information, and if you're trying to fool Modred, chances are you are going to fool your teammates more. I don't think there should be anything more than good/bad. People trying to fit someone else in as Lancelot gives away the fact that they're not Lancelot -- I think we should avoid this.
One thing -- I think if we get to mission 5, and Evil Lancelot is now good, he should absolutely claim. Mordred already knows who he is, so he's not narrowing down the Merlin pool anymore by claiming.
-
Aww, I missed signups for this :(? Shame. But I did play a very similar game at our board game weekend (LotL instead of Excalibur and an extra generic good guy), was fun.
Well have fun everyone, and as a reminder, I'm Merlin.

I know Tables, I thought you'd be /in for sure.
Does anybody have any M1 ideas that don't involve randomly voting for randos and then rejecting most teams that don't contain you? And then it likely goes to the hammer, and quite possibly passes regardless of roster?
Not that there's anything inherently wrong with that. It's sort of RVS-ish and maybe you can derive some insight from the interactions. But I was wondering if anyone had any better ideas.
-
I'm also wondering why you didn't accept your own mission Arch.
-
Slight slight resistance read on arch for that.
-
I'm also wondering why you didn't accept your own mission Arch.
There's no reason I should.
-
Just realized this, but be very careful with your vote. Just because you're on a mission, don't vote yes. If we all did that, then all the 3 player missions would pass on the first try.
-
I'm also wondering why you didn't accept your own mission Arch.
There's no reason I should.
...OR IS THERE????
...
...lol maybe not. Just curious.
Good point mail-mi. One's vote does carry quite a bit more weight here than in the 7P game.
-
Just realized this, but be very careful with your vote. Just because you're on a mission, don't vote yes. If we all did that, then all the 3 player missions would pass on the first try.
Well, yeah.
Taking a look at the proposal order, it looks like liopoil is last to propose. Meaning, if the trend that almost always happens in Resistance games (rejecting M1 proposals until Proposal 5) continues, he'll be the one in charge. I, so far, am OK with that. There's a lot of variables in this game with the RMM nature of it and Exacalibur that I don't think M1 will matter too much, but I could be wrong.
-
I have a slight resistance read on Archetype at this point because he was willing to decline a mission he was on. If I'm a spy, I want to be on the mission, especially if I'm planning on passing it, because I have the hammer next round. With that in mind,
Propose: Twistedarcher, Archetype

-
Arch, why did you accept this proposal and not the previous one?
-
I was initially going to decline it, but thought about what TA said. Why wouldn't have liopoil rejected it? He's the 5th proposer and rejecting my mission would have increased the chance of him proposing. So I accepted it. It's not super likely I'll be included in P3, P4, or P5, so I was alright accepting this one. If you only Decline missions you aren't on, it ensures that the 5th proposal will go through. Of course it depends with all these PRs, and I don't expect people to explain every single one of their votes because of it, but it's something to keep in mind.
-
I was talking about you, not about Liopoil -- I'm not getting the connection between why you declined the last one but accepted this one.
-
Ah. You were talking about me! I didn't see the 'hammer' part and figured you meant liopoil for the 5th proposal this round.
My chioce of voting yes for TAs mission still stands.
-
Well I guess I have to pick someone.
Twisted is probably my towniest read right now, just for being active and promoting good town behavior. Archetype has been active too but this most recent voting business confuses me a little. lio was strong out of the gate with that helpful post about Excalibur, but he's been quieter since. mail-mi is always scum.
So Propose: WalrusMcFishSr, Twistedarcher

Ooo, maybe. I don't have time to figure it all out right now though.
-
Given that I think Archetype isn't a spy, I have to assume that there's at least 1 spy on this mission. I don't know who's more likely, but that scares me.
-
Are you scared that they would fail M1? Or that they might pass it and use it as a feather in their cap later?
-
The latter more than the former -- I'm also not sure that I want Mail-mi to have the hammer for M2, but I'm not sure liopoil is a better option. I'd much rather myself or Archetype have it.

I haven't voted yet because I'm waiting for liopoil's answer.

-
I did accept this one because I didn't think I'd be on by the time the deadline would be reached. Liopoil hadn't answered yet, and Walrus jumped to my top townread over liopoil (especially with liopoil not really trying for his own mission). Hopefully this turns out well. Don't use Exaclibur, of course.
-
Question: will we know if he used Excalibur or not?
-
Once all mission cards are submitted, the player with Excalibur may publicly choose a player, or choose to not use Excalibur. So, yes, you will know. You won't know what mission card the chosen player submitted, but the player with Excalibur can say what they like about the card they saw.
(Jimmmmm: I hope you don't mind me answering rules questions)

Why Walrus and not mail-mi?
Walrus is my top resistanceread, so I have no qualms about that. However, I do have qualms about liopoil being on the mission.
-
my choice was not influenced by the results of this mission, because I think this would almost always be the outcome anyway.
-

Ok. So why Walrus and why myself? Was it basically random, or what?
-
Yo, I was just musing a little bit about the Lancelots and I thought I'd share.
Here's the breakdown for the various allegiance-swapping possibilities. Correct me if I'm wrong:
1.) Allegiances never swap
(3/5 * 2/4 * 1/3) = 1/10
2.) Allegiances swap once
(2/5 * 3/4 * 2/3) = 2/10
(3/5 * 2/4 * 2/3) = 2/10
(3/5 * 2/4 * 2/3) = 2/10
Total: 6/10
3.) Allegiances swap twice
(2/5 * 1/4 * 3/3) = 1/10
(2/5 * 3/4 * 1/3) = 1/10
(3/5 * 2/4 * 1/3) = 1/10
Total: 3/10
So there is a 60% chance that their alignment will end up opposite of what it started, assuming it goes to five missions. Which I guess means, evolutionarily speaking the Lancelots should initially behave as if they are on the opposite team. But practically speaking, it's not a huge margin, who knows to what extent the Lancelots have thought this through, and also my reasoning may be crude or plain wrong haha. I know I have neglected some finer points such as other power roles, and the fact that the game may end before they switch.
Maybe this isn't very useful, but I thought it was interesting at least!
-
my choice was not influenced by the results of this mission, because I think this would almost always be the outcome anyway.
Ok. So why Walrus and why myself? Was it basically random, or what?
not much. I found myself mostly agreeing with what you two said. I don't buy the resistance cred to arch for rejecting his own proposal.
-
Bleh. This makes me trust Walrus a little more, but I don't know if you're resistance with a good read, or a spy who wants to put resistance on the missions....
Hm. I don't know what to do.

I have a townread on Walrus as well. Liopoil is my top scumread. Everyone else is pretty null at this pont.

Hmmm...I think this mission is kinda likely to not have a spy on it? Obviously it's more likely that it does, since it's early, but this would probably be the mission I'd nominate, as well.
Walrus, you better not use excalibur if this goes through.

Yeah. I gave it to Walrus since I figured he wouldn't use it.
-
I haven't voted yet...Arch, how are you feeling about this mission? Obviously you proposed it, so you like it, but I am trying to think if this is the most likely team.

I would not use Excalibur if the mission went through. It would be an exExcalibur for sure.

How do you feel about this mission, Walrus?

To be honest I like it. It's probably the mission I would have proposed myself. I don't see any harm in saying that I voted yea on this one.

Uggghhh...well I didn't do it.
-
Out of the two, I'm more suspicious of Twistedarcher. The most suspicious thing from Walrus would be him saying "this mission looks clean". But I still think it was TA. Mostly because he seemed too quick to assume that there would be a fail.
-
If[/size]there's a fail it's Walrus.
I wasn't thinking that might pass. So one of mail-mi/liopoil is a spy (or initially was a spy), while one of Walrus/Archetype is a spy (or initially was a spy)
-
Er, I was leaning towards that passing, I mean, not sure what I was saying there.
-
Playing excalibur would have probably been a good thing there...hm.
I am more inclined to believe Liopoil, but now that the lancelots have been switched, that cancels out a bit.
-
I am also less sure that it's Walrus now. Ugh. Hm. What to do...
-

If you think the team is walrus-liopoil, then one of them is a good guy now...
-
Now I really want to see missions not including Walrus or TA...but one of them could've been Lancelot that just got turned good. But I thought the general consensus was to pass the mission if you were the bad lancelot since you'd likely switch. Which leads me to believe one of Walrus/TA is Morgana.

I don't remember reaching a consensus about that. I posted one thing about it and nobody really responded.
But then, Twisted's premature "If this fails, it was Walrus!!!" rubs me the wrong way too. Bah...Should have used Excalibur for the info at least. But now with the Lancelot switch even that hypothetical info may have been out of date. Everything I know is a lie!!!!
-
I'm starting the think that excalibur in the hands of a resistance is awesome, but it's so bad in the hands of a spy. Like, if you're resistance, and you have excalibur, using it gives you SO much information.
-

Well its good if you know someone is a Spy and will fail the mission. It hurts Resistance majorly if the holder guesses wrong.
-
Propose: TA, liopoil. Give liopoil excalibur
-
I think Archetype is evil, and more than likely Mordred.
-
Given that 2.2 was proposed by Archetype and included Walrus, that also leads me to believe that Walrus has a decent chance of being good (or a decent chance of previously being good...blah)

All right. This whole situation of loyalty switching and crazy swords makes my head spin, to say nothing of the extent to which any of it should be discussed. I think I agree with the idea that Lancelot reads should be kept to a minimum, but it does feel a bit like an elephant in the room. And then Excalibur is like its own little minigame.
Anyone have any comments before I make a proposal? I'm still not sure whom I will select. I'd especially like to hear from mail-mi and lio.

It's you and me, Walrus. We're the good guys.

What's there to say? I'm a good guy, so obviously you should pick me. any reasons you suspect me that I might be able to explain?
-
It's you and me, Walrus. We're the good guys.
You realize there's 3 good guys, not 2? Who do you think is the third?
-
Also, something to remember -- at this moment, Mordred has no idea who his partner is. And the partner has no idea who Mordred is. So there's a MUCH higher chance of a double fail at this point.
-
It's you and me, Walrus. We're the good guys.
You realize there's 3 good guys, not 2? Who do you think is the third?
well, the third doesn't know if he's going to stay a good guy yet... but I guess he functionally is, because he must pass the mission.
-
Yeah, good lancelot has to 100% support resistance, since I don't think he even has the option to fail (although he could play with excalibur shenanigans).
Still, though, there's more likelihood of there being no more switches than a switch, I believe.
I have kinda flipped my reads from earlier, and am less trusting of both Arch and Walrus than I was before (but definitely less trusting of Arch. I think he was the one who failed M2, if I had to choose.)
Liopoil, what do you think of Arch's reaction to me calling Arch a spy, and him not arguing the point? Are you getting the same reaction I am, or am I just crazy?
-

--snip--
Liopoil, what do you think of Arch's reaction to me calling Arch a spy, and him not arguing the point? Are you getting the same reaction I am, or am I just crazy?
This is wrong. 3/4 chance of no switch after this time * 2/3 chance of no switch next time given no switch this time = 6/12 chance of no more switches (no chance of 2 more switches). So it's exactly 50-50.
I don't think it's a big deal. What's he supposed to say? You didn't really give a reason for him to respond to, did you?
-
It's you and me, Walrus. We're the good guys.
You realize there's 3 good guys, not 2? Who do you think is the third?
Archetype or you. Leaning more you right now.
-
I just wanted to get a reaction from everybody to see where everybody stands right now. Especially after the Lancelot switcheroo. Plus I needed to buy some time to figure out what I wanted to do haha.
I have to say I think my biggest town read is Twisted right now. He seems like he's taking an earnest, active role in the game.
I was also considering mail-mi, because of our successful first mission...maybe that's the best thing to go by in these tumultuous times. And his attitude seems chipper enough.
Arch and lio are more in muddled/scummy territory for me right now. lio, your reaction to my request right now seemed slightly off to me. Remember last game when I asked you and yuma to chime in, and I found yuma's answer scummy for being sort of aloof and disinterested? That's sort of the impression I got from you just now. Discussion is pro-town, and I just wanted a quote for the daily papers. Arch is sort of in and out, but that's rather in character for him. I do think he acted a bit scummily in the aftermath of M2 though.
Anyway, I guess it'll be Propose: WalrusMcFishSr, Twistedarcher (w/ Excalibur obvs)

-
What I know: one of Arch/Walrus is bad
What I think I know: one of Liopoil/Mail-mi is bad
-
As in, it's possible both Walrus and Arch are bad, but I highly highly doubt it, meaning one of mail-mi/liopoil must be bad. Walrus and Arch can have the same reasoning on one of mail-mi/liopoil likely being bad, I think.
-
Walrus, why'd you accept M3? Who do you think the evil team is now?
-
Well, yeah, obviously we have the same sort of parallel reasoning, where I know that one of Twisted or Arch is bad, and likewise for Arch.
...or rather, was bad at the time. Or even possibly good, but was anticipating breaking bad. The Lancelots really throw a wrench in things, so I'm even less confident in my "knowledge" than I normally would be.
PPE: I was thinking about nominating mail-mi for my proposal as well in 3.2. I'd rather have had you and mail-mi get the mission than anything with lio or Arch on it. I'm glad it worked out.
That was then though, and there's been another alignment switch, which leaves me more befuddled than ever. I'll reread and think about it.
-
Yeah. I'm pretty sure that Arch was the fail on M2 -- which means he's bad now, no matter what. No matter what, definitely one of Walrus/Arch is bad now, and I think the other is good now, which means that I think Walrus is good and Archetype is bad. So it's down to Liopoil/Mail-mi. In fact, I might be willing to just run TA/Walrus/Liopoil and TA/Walrus/Mail-mi and see which one goes through.
I know I've called Archetype out on being Mordred, but I'm not quite sure how I actually puzzled out that he was Mordred (I very well may have been playing it up to get a reaction, but I actually forget if that's what I was doing!) I need to see if I can remember why I thought he was specifically Mordred rather than evil lancelot.

Three missions have been successful! Mordred now has 48 hours to attempt to assassinate Merlin by typing Assassinate: Player in the game thread. All players may freely discuss during this time.
This may be changed up until the deadline, at which point the last submitted assassination will be final. If Mordred wishes the game to end earlier than this, he may indicate that he has made his final choice.

This is tough for Merlin. Even if good win, it's 1/3, and it shouldnt be hard to disqualify good lancelot (1/2 known, 1/2 time easy to figure out), so spies have a good chance of guessing. Luckily Walrus and I were on the same page and both played him up as Merlin and myself as Percival.

This is tough for Merlin. Even if good win, it's 1/3, and it shouldnt be hard to disqualify good lancelot (1/2 known, 1/2 time easy to figure out), so spies have a good chance of guessing. Luckily Walrus and I were on the same page and both played him up as Merlin and myself as Percival.
If Good Lancelot ends up Evil, both Merlin and Percival should claim GL, to bring it back to 1/3.

Walrus, how sure were you that Mail-mi was evil lancelot? I was trying to signal to you, but I'm not sure how much it affected your decision.

But Mordred will know who Good Lancelot is, since he started as Evil Lancelot, right?

Uh so the way I think of it is Good Lancelot and Evil Lancelot are the character names, and they do not swap, only their alignments swap. So GL could end up Evil, but his name is still Good Lancelot. Maybe that's confusing for some people, I don't know.
So Mordred knows who Evil Lancelot is, and if Evil Lancelot ends up Good then he doesn't know his teammate, Good Lancelot. So Merlin and Percival should both claim Good Lancelot (who is Evil).

nice! I thought it was walrus too, hence my scrambling at the end... very well done TA and walrus!
I never really did much... I didn't know what my motives were! all I really wanted was to get myself in a position to be on missions once I knew my alignment... which didn't work out.
-
I knew you were Good Lancelot as soon as I figured out Walrus was Percival, but I think that if I put Walrus/TA/Liopoil M4, it would have been too obvious. I was comfortable putting Walrus/TA/Mail-mi, knowing that I had the hammer for M5 to put the correct team.

Yeah, I feel like it's hard for the Lancelots to figure out what they're doing if they don't know what alignment they'll end up as. If you've read the Lancelot rules, the 2nd suggested variant fixes this by having all swaps public at the start of the game, so everyone knows which will be which at all times. This could be interesting, but I feel like it takes away from the mystery of the Lancelots. A third way that I came up with that I'd like to try out some time is for only the Lancelots to know when they'll swap. So they'll both know what alignment they'll be when, but no one else will.

I was actually quite sure of that last mission based on the following reasoning:
M1 means very little because it's M1.
M2, I knew Twisted and I are good, so I know Arch is evil.
M3, mail-mi succeeds. I didn't think that at that point he would do a decoy pass as scum. So I figured he must be good Lancelot at that point. And then the allegiances switched back.
In fact, when Twisted was talking about Excalibur right before M4, I was like SHUT UP, don't make mail-mi suspicious! Lol. So I had to try to play it cool.
-
ooo, I should have been more aware that my fellow resistance members knew much more than I did...
-
Great work if you're Merlin, TA.
Great job TA! And Walrus! And liopoil!
Twisted just seemed too...obvious as Merlin. Like that "Well mail-mi is always scum" Or something to that effect was a big reason why I figured you weren't Merlin, but you were! I also figured out liopoil was my secret partner because he rejected the same mission I did post-Lancelot switch. And Walrus accepted, even though he wasn't on the mission. So I figured he must've known something about mail-mi's alignment 'cause he wanted MM on the mission after the switch. But really nice play, you had me fooled.

Great game all! I had a lot of fun.

I think a problem that this game can have, particularly with Avalon roles, is that because everyone has something to hide, it can be hard to generate discussion. In Mafia, generally the game gets to the point where Town members can put every single thought they have out there, whereas here everyone has a filter. Maybe the way to get past that is for people to better learn strategies etc of the game so people can lead discussion without giving away whether they're Merlin.
-
I definitely know what you mean Jimmmmm. Especially with the Lancelots...I had mixed feelings about those roles. But it's interesting, it makes you choose your words very carefully.
Who's gonna host the next one? I wouldn't mind, if nobody else wants to.
