Heads up -- I will be out of town this weekend.  I will probably still check in, but possibly not.

Mission 3.1 proposed by: Thisisnotasmile:
Team Proposed: WrathOfGlod, Morgrim7, Thisisnotasmile, Galzria
Voting YES: WrathOfGlod, Morgrim7, Thisisnotasmile, Galzria
Voting NO: eHalcyon, Robz888
Result: Yes - 4, No - 2
Proposal passes

Mission 3 Results
Co-operating: 4
Sabotage: 0
Mission succeeds. Score is now Resistance - 3, Spies - 0

Resistance Win 3-0!


Overall, I think the spies (who are obviously eHalcyon and Robz) were very unlucky - I don't think they played badly, and especially proposal 2.3 (which included Robz) should have gone through - but WoG managed to fluke avoiding the fail by accidentally not voting :P.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

Oh hey, it's up before I leave this morning.

Yeah, WoG, did you actually forget or was it some super strategic play or something?  I was like, "this will work out wonderfully" but then nope.

And Galz was right, I kind of panicked at the end there.  I should have waited to bring up long con possibilities (which were indeed possibilities!) after Robz was taken for mission 2.  My bad Robz!

Now I'm thinking I should have just failed the first mission.  If the very first proposal had gone through (WoG + me) I was going to fail it.  I intended to fail the one with Galzria but at that point he was showing trust for me and distrust for TINAS so I thought I'd wait.

All in all, I wish others had talked more.  And I think I vastly prefer being a civilian to being a bad guy.  ::)

TINAS, no hard feelings for early game? I needed to get reads somewhere, and eH's play all game RE: You and me is what really tipped me off to his WIFOM play.

No hard feelings at all.

TBH I hadn't even thought about who seemed like a spy or not, I just put the team that passed on with myself. It's pretty much what I had to do and I got lucky.

I expected 2.3 to go through, and I expected it to fail. At the time, my suspicion levels of eH were already raised, but I knew it wasn't the time to come out firing.

eH, you made one big Red Flag raising case Mission 2:

Obviously, a spy does not want to vote his partner onto a mission (that is, if Robz was 1 of 3 chosen and you were not, it would look bad for you to vote it through knowing it will fail), thus you never did. But you spent all of Mission 2 trying to get someone to do it for you. You kept talking about how good you thought the team was, and that you were right on the verge of wanting to vote. Had Morgrim come along and passed it, you could've tried to soon him as a spy partner.

Now, I DID vote it through the second time, but it was calculated to learn something. I had failed (at that time) to notice that Robz was also on every vote you liked with TINAS as well - but pass or fail at that point, I was sure you were a spy. One 2.4 passed clean, and I went back (and saw Robz everywhere you liked), it came together quickly. I was confident of the spy pairings during all of Mission 3.

Your long-con game didn't factor in much at all. It was mostly conceivable, although not with these players, and not given past events. Morgrim was clear because I actually think he's a smart, but honest player. WoG was clear because I would've been SO easy to frame 2.4

So yeah. Robz by himself generated only mild suspicion (for NOT being Robz), but I was really led to him by eH, who I pegged around 2.2

What could I say? There was nothing. Did not want to make people not trust me; also I was gone alot. No cases to make...no reason to defend myself...
Not allowed to discuss it, but I am no longer suspicious of Morgrim.  In fact, I no longer have any clue when I should be suspicious of Morgrim.  Ugh.
hahaha thats funny.

I found plenty to say, but I felt all done with eH at times. :(

But then, I always find stuff to say.

I actually want to play a game with you now where you AREN'T an innocent. It would intrigue me... ;D

Haha, totally was a very poor attempt to signal.  :P

Yeah I definitely overplayed my hand.  It was going fairly well but I started getting too friendly.  Props to Galz. :)

If we do this again, I think I'll be much more anti-quiet.  Need others to talk as well.  I would not have talked so much except I think it's boring if everyone is just quiet.  I kind of wish Robz talked a bit more.  I would have liked an opportunity to denounce him but he didn't make any waves either.

As it is, apologies for Robz for being the giveaway!

Sorry! Yeah, a couple times I started to say something and deleted it. I felt kind of lost here, especially when it ended up that eHal and I were pretty much toast by accident.

I wasn't quite sure how to say who I suspected, since no one was really scummy. I don't know, things kind of fell apart. My bad!

Is there gonna be another one of these? I'm back to looking for a forum game of something now that I've been hammered in Medical Mafia. I didn't participate in this one or MIII or MIV because I was away on vacation in Italy, and so wasn't gonna commit to a regular posting schedule.

I would play again. At times the slow pace was frustrating, but at other times it was relaxing not to have this game constantly demanding my attention (like some other games do from time to time).

I'd be perfectly happy to host another, if people want :). But if someone else wanted to take the reins, that's fine too.

Oh, here's the game spreadsheet, if anyone's interesting. I... don't think it is, really. Only that the last two Plot cards would have been (r4) Keeping a Close Eye on You and (r5) Strong Leader.

Also slightly surprised nobody commented that the player order ended up exactly the same as the signup order. It might be because I didn't record people's signups in the right order and thus it wasn't (which would make sense as obviously nobody but me would have noticed), but the RNG chose people in that order, which I found amusing.

I was sad that I got Opinion Maker for my plot card.  Wanted something more interesting to work with.

I'd like a bigger group so that we have things like In the Spotlight.

Hmm... yes, I think so. With how incredibly active the mafia games here are I was expecting the same amount of discussion in this, but this game was less active than most, so yes, I'd be happy to play. I've already mentioned the spreadsheets and linked to one, but here's the blank sheet for whoever wants to mod one.
