Haha, I feel so proud of myself for winning on my very first game of the Resistance~ Having guessed four out of five of the identities of the people with special roles made me feel so badass… Again, is the observer you @Pepe or is it @RedRavenW? Either of them having the observer role is believable for me but I’d say it’s most likely Pepe since he picked both Necem (loner) and Hardscope (spy) in his team. He probably expected that the one who’d reject the team would be the loner… As for RedRavenW, since he didn’t speak much, I couldn’t really “analyze” him and thus couldn’t predict what he’d do in what situation but with the team he picked, I think it’s unlikely.
But I was so sure it was Likeaneko! It was thanks to that I found Hardscope and Necem, honestly.
By the way, I sort of tried to put in “traps” in the game beforehand… No one noticed them and they really helped out, haha!
The first one was “Let’s not say anything before the vote results show up”… That one was not put in the intent of analyzing voting patterns buuuuut to limit the spies conversations and making them sort of unable to discuss between them what to vote unless they want to stand out! Yay, they fell for it!
The second one came after I had like a big hunch on the identity of Hardscope… The team suggestion! I didn’t really care that much about what team would go (although I was very disappointed for making that mistake…) even though the suggestion I made was actually pretty good, what I cared for was who’d be against it. It was more than just likely that Hardscope’s partner would be against it… They didn’t really agree on what to do and I was sure of it since the only one Hardscope ever had sort of a conversation with was me so… The boss couldn’t trust Hardscope to properly fail the mission on the next round and thus couldn’t accept it. With a reasoning like that, Khsellhu was my biggest suspect. Yay, he totally fell for it!
Seeing as he was close to being a leader, I thought it’d be confirmed by seeing if he picks himself… And he did! But I’m still confused how everyone had actually accepted that mission since its chances of success were close to zero. Honestly, the very fact that no one was against it before the teams vote session should’ve made it obvious that there were spies there. The spies wouldn’t try to all reject a team at the same time if a team doesn’t contain a spy, no… They would rather try to convince us to reject the team instead because we outnumber them, get it?
As for Arete, it was more of a “hunch” and I didn’t have much proof. It could’ve been anybody but Arete sort of stood out to me as the assassin. I was gonna try to get the proof a bit later but never got to… But what I find hilarious is that I actually pointed out was that Arete could be the assassin at the very beginning of the game.
Also, I dunno if it could be called a trap or if it worked or anything since it wasn’t on purpose but… I remember saying something about the “Team being failed twice is fine” to Arete, did that sort of contribute to the fourth mission’s results? Oh well, whatever, I won’t read too much into it.
But, honestly, I knew for sure that we were going to win the game right after the results of the last mission since that confirmed to me that Arete was the assassin. Seeing how Arete played so far, it was pretty obvious that he analyzes the votes too much, it should go without saying that I’d end up as the loner. And so, you should probably analyze the votes less, @Arete~
I think it’s such a shame that we never got to the best phase where we have to convince others on who is who and especially my picking the team… It was right after Necem’s too!
By the way, I still think that the player chat of the game on Discord is a bad idea… Depending on the questions, it’s actually possible to give an idea on who is who and it can also be used as a way to mislead others. The Discord sever is probably best left for the spectators to discuss. Well, if you think it’s still fine to use it, I suggest people to be careful on what to ask there and to avoid getting ideas from there… I guess.
Finally, this game was very fun~ I really enjoyed making up theories. I might end up playing if there’s ever a next one but even spectating sounds fun. Oh well, my only regret was not properly roleplaying Kotori. I ended up fooling around a bit too much~
