Resistance Unspoiled Thread

[Rysto]

I’m not liking anything that Mahaloth has to say in this game.

@Mahaloth

I have read up and I hope I understand the game. I see I have been nominated for the first mission, which is fine by me. **I have nothing much to say other than I am a good guy and plan to make the mission succeed.

There is not much else to be said at this point, folks. Accept this team and you have my vote for success.**

@Mahaloth

This is fine, though completely random would have worked just as well. I think it is wise to accept this team because:

1. I know it has at least my vote to succeed.

2. I think spies are unlikely to reject this mission as it is the first one. If I’m wrong, at least I’ll know who the spies are.

I know you all can’t know I’m on the side of good, but I do and we should proceed with this plan even if you, for some reason, suspect some of us on the team.

@Mahaloth

Nope, I voted succeed and if it weren’t anti-game, I’d post my PM to show you.

(bolding mine)

Mahaloth’s first post rubbed me the wrong way. He sounded way too anxious to make the point that he’s resistance. And he keeps saying it over and over and over again. I don’t think that an actual resistance player would feel the need to do this.

TexCat’s resignation to her fate reads as much more genuine to me. A resistance player knows that they’re under heightened suspicion and have no way of proving their towniness (not even through death!), which has to be discouraging.

I agree with storyteller’s reasoning that discounting the members of the last team outright isn’t necessarily a winning move, but I don’t agree with the motivation that he ascribes to TexCat’s post. He forgets that not everybody sees the game from a strict logical position like he does.

@Mahaloth

So if you nominate a team, please PM your team to Mental quickly so we don’t have to wait around.

This is what I mentioned above, where he seemed very eager to get that team set in stone.

@Mahaloth

I have no idea if he is a spy, but I think it was just a mistake.

@Mahaloth

Meh, I guess so. Now that I think about it, it’s better than nothing.

This is his response to HC’s supposed slip. I really don’t like the quick flip-flop here. It feels opportunistic. I’m not sure that it says much about HC’s alignment though.
