The Resistance: Avalon with Plots - Game 11 - Evil vs Good battle to the death

Kl3mnop:

Was your opinion in the form of a tapestry? Those image files don’t always display on my various devices. Sorry if I missed it.

There were a couple of image-only posts earlier that I didn’t pick up but I assumed from responses that they were all “Funsies”.

Of course it was a tapestry! Only heathens and peasants - and not to mention, Evil Folk - indulge in the act of speaking plainly!

Knights! I hereby declare that I am accepting all votes.

Imagine here a tapestry which says:

BRAVE KNAVES! MERELY SIX HOVRS REMAIN IN VOTING.

clyve:

That being said, I don’t know if this team should go forward. We could send it and watch rob with the eye I guess… what are your thoughts x-tien? If you aren’t on board with that, I don’t think I can vote yes to this team.

Watching rob with the card he gave away himself is worse than useless in my opinion. If he’s evil, the chance is too great that he gave the eye to someone else evil. Basically the only way that using the eye on him now do anything useful is if he’s Oberon (10% chance) and he gave the eye to a Good character (67% chance), giving the card 6.7% chance to be useful.

You could have saved yourself the trouble of doing those calculations and just posted a tapestry that said, “Yovr Eye is Vseless.”

This is a much different game around a tabletop. If people theorized like this at a table, I’d probably kick them out of my house. Just observing!

(/Peanut gallery)

Ha! I suddenly had an image in my head of somebody trying to fill out a spreadsheet at the table, and Knightsaber snapping that person’s pencil in half and solemnly pointing at the door.

The calculations are the fun part.

6 No, 4 Yes. Could this be … no, it couldn’t possibly be… could it?

Given this and the card distribution, it definitely looks like a Rob / Kl3m / Xtien evil triumvirate. With Dave it’s harder to tell, since he seems to vote ‘yes’ to every team.

jostly · 2015-02-26T07:33:24.000Z

I will however note that if one takes in the hypothesis that robthomasson is evil and gave the dangerous cards to his fellow evil, then it fits so very neatly with 3 out of the 4 yes votes.

Great minds think alike, at the same time. :)

clyve · 2015-02-26T07:52:48.000Z

That situation feels too perfect. I can’t imagine that all four evil players would actually vote yes when there was so much concern about rob. I don’t think we should take it off the table but I don’t think we should relax yet either.

I’m agreeing with you guys here - also notice how he gave me the weakest of the three cards. If we assume he’s Evil then he’d only know two other Evil folks at most so he’d have to throw one of them to an unknown. Dave/Christien could just be voting YES because they want to get a party out there though so that’s harder to read. Hopefully ankamela puts up a decent enough party so we can approve it and the next plot cards would go to scott.

Dave_Perkins · 2015-02-26T07:57:01.000Z

This is one of the most interesting first votes ever! Yes, I was just voting for the quest to go so that we could get some success/fail votes, but I’m glad that the vote went No now.

Ummm, YIKES!

Before you guys go jumping off the cliff accidentally while you’re jumping to conclusions…can you take a few more minutes to walk through the logic you’re proposing? I’m trying to wrap my brain around it and the math isn’t adding up quite as easily for me as it seems to be for you.

The only conclusion I’ve jumped to is that, in the absence of more information, I’d prefer quest teams that don’t include Rob, Kl3mnop, or Xtien. Even Dave should be left out for now. There are 6 other knights, and none of them have any strikes against them. If more / better information comes along, I’ll reconsider, but right now it’s all we have.

Once you believe that I should have given Overheard Conversation to jostly or ankamela (so that it could be used on me) then the rest builds from that … I am obviously evil and you must be as well as I gave you Overheard Conversation to use - with clyve being the obvious target as he was on the team.

You can’t fault the horriblly neat appearance of that first team vote though … we will have to rely on time to be our witness. Well, I say “we” but you could be evil anyway.

Edit: rowe33’s point below about me not waiting between distributing cards is spot on. I should have done that whether good or evil. Schoolboy error. I was dithering so much (and in need of that banana) that I just said screw it and acted. Stupid peer pressure!
