Roy coming in with that swift kick to the ribs while the man is down.
Gallahad and Excalibur are new to me as well. I guess it's a promo role they gave out at cons or something?
I'm trying to acquire them now.
Edit:
Yeah, being Merlin is rough. You kind of need a good Percival who can really sell that they're Merlin instead, but Morgana of course, confuses the issue.
I mentioned it in thread, but there were times where I felt pretty good about what was happening, but couldn't post for fear of that outing Merlin. Any role speculation at all is bad for Merlin.
They're from the Kickstarter. Indie Boards and Card constantly pulls crap like that with their Kickstarters. It is annoying.
I saw he gets a win.
Anyway, did any of the new players have general questions? Does it make more sense now why Ultron and I were rejecting teams even though we really had no information?
Oh, super lame then. I kinda hate the way kickstarter is causing more board games to do this.
Edit:
Where's Spectator chat? Did i miss the link?

Hm, I think Zatoth actually mentioned the BGG Avalon threads a while ago. Maybe that would be a good place to look, but I think we did a decent (?) job trying to adapt the game for Gafia.
By the way, I want to thank all the players for taking the chance to play what was mostly just an experimental game. I'm glad some of you had fun. If we ever run this again, I hope we can make it the most fun!
Uh, someone can ping ynny or retro to make the spectator thread public I guess. I've got some stuff to do.

It's at outer gafia, retro or scrafty or ynnny probably has to open it. (Or Nin? I think Nin might have admin power).

Nice to there was an emergency meeting of the gafia tribunal to decide if my dreams would come true or be crushed.
What else do people have to argue about these days!

I wouldn't do the pre-game chat again. Fortunately it didn't seem to dramatically impact this particular session, but it does eliminate a strategic element from the game. I really just wanted the Evil players to be somewhat familiar with each other going in, but that probably wasn't necessary in the end.
Sorry that I lost it for town. I'm bad at this type of game
No worries, bud. As long as you had fun!

Don't sweat it, bud. That's a really hard role especially for a first time try in this community.

What did you guys think of 6 Good and 4 Evil? The rule of thumb for balance is "33% Evil, rounded up" so I wonder if the math would work out better in a 9-player game.
You had the toughest role by far, and this was your first time. Don't feel bad.

I saw those theories. We all agreed that it was you trying to throw us off. It made more sense for you to be Percival if we take into consideration the fact that didn't put Morgana or Merlin into your proposed team at the beginning. You also changed you mind on me pretty quickly. You went from reading town on me (which surprised me because no one else did) to scum. Looked like a Percival move.
Rynam was such a perfect choice we were hesitant to pick him because it seemed too good to be true.
After this I don't know if I like this game at all or not, but I just saw the Cooptional Podcast play Secret Hitler (made by the guys from Cards Against Humanity) and that looks fun. I might want to run a game like that but it would work better in Tabletop Simulator or just plain Skype. Latency issues from me being in Australia wouldn't affect Skype too much but may be a problem for Tabletop Simulator. Plus we'd need more people to own that game.
You don't know it, but there is a permanent tribunal in place which job is to determine the best ways to crush your dreams. Those are also the guys that decided to randomly kill me and exodu5 in HP after you got hope about actually winning that game.

I wouldn't mind doing the game again with the same setup, since players now know what to expect.
Czartim and I have considered Secret Hitler. From what he told me, it might run smoother than Avalon/Resistance, but is still very similar.
6-3 is more scum sided since there's no double fail needed for mission 4 I believe, and there's less chance of double scum on a team.
6-4 is fine as long as you don't let evil chat beforehand.
