[Resistance] Marvel - Mission #5 - It's a wrap! - Spies Win!

[Pharaoh Llandy]

You're favoured by my Tuborg glass, don't get cocky

 

[Adaham]

It's probably because of your Avatar that looks like it fell straight off Mt. Olympus before it was raped by you in Photoshop

Which reminds me...

 

[Vieira151]

Checking in. Will make better post when not on my phone.

 

[Adaham]

So on a more serious note, Hulksmash, isn't it time for you as the team leader to start off things?

 

[MaHuD]

Wow, I guess I'm favored by the resistance gods, two first teams in a row!

Yes, so make a team already!

 

[Phonemelter]

So there's a joke voting stage as well?

Then I'm for Cardob, because that sounds like a Transformer, but there are no Transformers in this game.

Opting to make a joke vote on Cardob instead of yourself? Afraid you might be figured out if you were to sanatorium the mission? Sounds like you are a spy who is going to wait until they get a grasp of things in order to not dive into things too quickly because you might get in over your head.

@Magus: Isn't that rushing things a tad bit?

 

[HULKSMASH]

Indeed it is. I think I'll utize the same method as last time, which I was a champion of and won us the game.
I'll let the discussion go on a little bit, I'd like everyone to suggest who they'd like to see go on the mission, and then I'll nominate a team (likely containing myself).

 

[HULKSMASH]

(Indeed it is being in response to adaham)

@Nipple

Damn, I love your auto-correct. 

But to answer your question, I have no problem being on the team. And from what I understood from the rules, there'd be no reason to fear "being figured out", as I could always opt to go along with the group, so your accusation falls flat in that respect (even though it's a nice attempt at getting things moving). I actually found your self-nomination (combined with your all cute act) more suspicious, but I'm indeed careful to jump to conclusions. I'm just coming off an experience in which voting myself earned me a lot of criticism and I need to get used to the fact that in this game it's seemingly not seen as suspicious to nominate yourself.

You could compete with Whoopin when it comes to ego. Needless to say, I don't like arguments that try to claim trustworthyness by referring to past games.

 

[Phonemelter]

True, you could always not sanatorium the mission (autocorrect does t believe "sabbaths" is a word), but I thought the whole point is to get yourself nominated (knowing you yourself is innocent) to see that the mission succeeds. Sure, you can nominate and vie for others, but on Day 1 when there is nothing to go off of (except for the seer person thing), that would seem to me to e silly.

I agree with your recent point about Hulk. The same strategy that can e used to win as an innocent can also be used by wolves.

 

[Phonemelter]

OH MY ****ING GOD, PHONE; SABOTAGE, NOT SANATORIUM OR SABBATHS

 

[MaHuD]

It's the first mission, no need to sit around. Pick a team and we will go from there.

You do make a good point there, haven't really thought about that. My first approach was to try and nominate others to "check" their alignment, basically using the missions as a means of eliminating players from the suspect list. What I haven't thought of is that it would take too long to "calculate" everybodies alignment, the game would be over by then. It's a different way of thinking and I need to wrap my head around it.

In any case, what you said makes sense to me, so I'm gonna:

Vote: Adaham (do we need to bold?)

Honestly, this feels really weird. I'm expecting CW or Ativan to come in any moment and call me whiny. 

OH MY ****ING GOD, PHONE; SABOTAGE, NOT SANATORIUM OR SABBATHS

Besides being hilarious, your auto-correct seems to be quite telling. What have you been up to recently on Sabbaths in the Sanatorium? Undermining the Resistance? 

 

[Phonemelter]

I think nominating others would be good at times, but it isn't a sure fire way to "catch" a spy, so right now  I'd just suggest against it. At any rate, I think I'd be a good fit for the mission.

I think the fact that my phone doesn't like "sabotage" should show that the word is not in my vocabulary and therefore speaks to my mutantness. That, or my phone hates the Beastie Boys.   

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

Vote: Adaham (do we need to bold?)

There's no need for any special formatting; I have no need to keep a vote count, and the Field Commander should be reading all posts up until he calls for an official vote.

 

[HULKSMASH]

which I was a champion of and won us the game.

I may be new to this sort of game, but based on my reading of WW and Resistance both, this stinks.

Did you read the last game? I'd have to hunt for it, but I did a pretty convincing statistical argument for recycling the team from mission one (assuming it passes) compared to picking different people. And, if three innocents are picked for the first mission (as they were last time) than the resistance is in a really good position to win the game.

 

[Adaham]

While that sounds all good, how do you know whether the first mission team are only innocents? What if one of them is a spy and only chose not to sanatorium the first mission? That means you're back to square one the next day, or am I missing something?

 

[Phonemelter]

But how do we know three innocents are chosen? Couldn't you be a spy, choose your packies for mission 1, have it succeed, and then claim "see, these guys are innocent or else they surely would have made the missions fail and it totally has to be some other guys?"

Ninja'd by Adaham.

 

[HULKSMASH]

Well, there is about a 20% chance of randomly picking three innocents for mission 1.
Secondly, the part about not knowing if one is a spy is what I covered in my argument at length. Basically, even if we can't know if there's a spy or not, it's still better to renominate the team, because picking a new team has a much higher probability of failure.

Anyways, that's neither here nor there and we can cross that bridge when we get there. Let's hear who everyone wants on the team.
