Be Excellent To Each Other

Bloody hell, I thought it was first to 5. This is going to be difficult to win.

Shit, glad I voted no to this mission, it will hopefully get us some more time to work out whos who

I wonder how many people didn't know that, and how many are pretending not to know.

We're almost certainly going 2-0 down, so we need as much information as we can get as to who might be bad. With 40% of us actively trying to sabotage things, we had only a tiny margin for error right from the start.

Tick tock people, voting closes in 17 minutes.

yeah, my fault that, sorry. I should have sent myself crawling through the shit.

The results are in, the proposal is declined!

Bobbyaro no
Cras yes
Curiosity no
Grim... didn't vote
KovacsC yes
Malia no
Mr Russell assumed yes
Saturnalian yes
sdg no
Slightly Green no

I assumed Mr Russ would have voted yes to his own proposal, but that didn't make a difference to the result either way.

Saturnalian, over to you for the second vote, who do you propose? 4 man mission as before.
2pm Thursday deadline for the proposal.

I'm a bit sus of Kov for voting yes. I think Mr Russ could be suss for proposing a whole new tea,m. So I'd send me, slightly green and two others.

Send 4 people who voted no.

Oh, good call!

If there weren't any spies on that list though, spies would all have voted no.

I'm struggling to work through any kind of decision making process here.

7%, surely?
(6/10)*(5/9)*(4/8)*(3/7)

There are a few ways to work it out.

You can, for instance, consider that since a bad guy would not pick randomly, a random selection can only be made by a good person, which reduces the percentage.

Of course, it also means they should select themselves, which makes the percentage a fair bit higher.

Bah, sorry for not voting.

Keeping the resistance's website running has been a right arse.

What happens now?

Next person along selects a team, and we vote again.

Do I come up with a scenario an' all?

Tonight's mission:

The Resistence needs funds! The Evil Corp's Bank of Evilness has a new shipment of gold coming in tonight. A dangerous job of course, but joy, the bank manager is throwing a party for an evil politician that same night so the bank is understaffed with a skeleton crew.

We need three brave soldiers and someone to man the getaway car and look out for the fuzz.

Everyone is equipped with brown trenchcoats and bananas as we've no money for weapons. It'll be as brazen as it is dangerous. Lets do it!

I'll go with the first three no votes and me. Cause I'm ace.

Bobby
Curio
Me
MaliA

Fuck yeah!

No.

Nice.

Was that list supposed to be written in bold then?

'spose so, but I'm using the phone! Feel free to MODify!

Right, votes to me by 2pm Thursday please.

Oh, good call!

I wanted 4 people who voted no.

Not three and one yes.

Dodgy, Saturnalian!

Saturnalian, why did you vote yes to the last mission?

For the record, I currently feel ok about two people on that list and less good about two others. I would prefer to be included in this mission at the expense of you Saturnalian.

It'll prove I'm legit (probably).

...although if there's a spy it'll make me look bad. Either way, it's a risky strategy that might just work.

Cocks banana.

Er, cause I thought you'd need more than one game to get a feel for who was what.

It won't prove anything to me, you could be a spy who decides to support the mission to make yourself look good.
What was your reason again for voting yes to the last mission?

Sorry we posted at the same time there I agree that we need more information to make judgements but rushing into another mission even if the leader was a clear goody was a bit daft since the best tool we have is discussion and voting patterns, so voting yes seems even more dodgy when the leader was a potential spy.

hmmm interesting choices Saturnalian, you voting yes for the last mission does make me wonder about you however.

I think I will be voting no for this mission as the best way for us to gather information safely is to have as many Leaders choose possible missions as we can so we can hopefully see some patterns. Also the fact you stole my fucking bananas for the raid has upset me a little.

There's five spy's and only four yes' anyway so it's still pot luck. I'd voted before the five win/round thing was raised anyway, so, y'know, whatever man.

*grumble*bloodypopularitycontest*grumble*

I voted yes, sorry I have been quiet been on the road most of today...

Hell yeah, pass me that banana! Alternatively we could talk through the scenarios.

1) mission is sabotaged
2) mission isn't sabotaged.
1. Puts four more people in the suss pile.
2. Puts four more people in the suss pile.

Collecting sabots?

Just to make it clear, I have voted no as it seems to me that a no vote is the safest way for us to gather information with zero risk of going another mission down to the capitalist pigs. I thought that was the consensus from the last mission vote also.

I have already sent in my no vote, but will hold off in future so we can make a better group decision.

We don't want tooooo much groupthink. We need the scummy scumbags (of which there are 4) to out themselves.

That said, I'm going for a no vote again, despite it being totally possible that it's a group of innocents.

Wait, what? There are four spies.

I'm going to vote no.

I'm not reading. Full stop.

He counted himself and added it to the four in the game.

Look, even if I was a spy and this game went ahead and it was sabotaged then no one would pick me again and you'd know that the other three were cool. You could then just picking them plus one other each time and The Resistance would win.

OR I could be legit, the mission wins and you just keeping picking the same (or vetoing any deviation from anyone else, cause you'd know they'd be a spy) and go on to win simple, like.

It's a win win all round.

Not if there is a spy other than yourself (if you are a spy) in the group that you have chosen. So using your suggestion above we vote yes now, the spies get another point. Next mission we drop you but keep the rest, spies get another point....

The only hope we have is gathering as much info as we can from potential group setups imo

pokes thread

We must be waiting for voters...

Vote yes, peeps, and stop Evil Corp.

Just waiting on either slow people to vote, or on Trooper.

COME ON, SLOW PEOPLE!

I think that it is an interesting mission. And, frankly, we could do with the money.

I voted no, on account of totally not trusting Saturnalian.

Oooooh, so close!

Bobbyaro yes
Cras no
Curiosity no
Grim... yes
KovacsC yes
Malia yes
Mr Russell no
Saturnalian yes
sdg no
Slightly Green no

A tied vote, we need a majority i'm afraid.
sdg over to you, 4 person mission, proposal in bold by 2pm Friday please.

Surprising number of yeses, given what we've been talking about.

I'm right fucking confused.

When should we say 'yes', and when should we say 'no'?
