I’m not liking anything that Mahaloth has to say in this game. > [@\[GAME\]The Resistance - Mafia-Like Game](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-the-resistance-mafia-like-game/702450/66): > > 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.

(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. > [@\[GAME\]The Resistance - Mafia-Like Game](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-the-resistance-mafia-like-game/702450/68): > > 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. > [@\[GAME\]The Resistance - Mafia-Like Game](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-the-resistance-mafia-like-game/702450/91): > > I have no idea if he is a spy, but I think it was just a mistake. > [@\[GAME\]The Resistance - Mafia-Like Game](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-the-resistance-mafia-like-game/702450/93): > > 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. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/resistance-unspoiled-thread/703642)._
