Just a reminder, for those new to the game: votes should be sent to me via PM (so as to allow for simultaneous, independent voting). I have votes from 5 or 6 people so far.
If you want to vocalize your vote in the thread , that's fine. You can also lie in the thread about your vote, if you so desire.

Waiting on votes from @Professor Phobos and @discrider. I could perhaps assume Phobos' vote from the thread, but I'm not sure of discrider's vote.
@SeGaTai, @Professor Phobos, and @Kaneski, please PM me with either "SUCCESS" or "FAIL". A reminder for those new to the game: loyal knights must play a SUCCESS card, while minions have the option of playing SUCCESS or FAIL.
So, I've never played a game with Percival in it. Is there anything that makes it a bad idea to have him reveal and fill the 4th spot with our current group?
If we know Percival is in the group, then we have only 3 suspects should the mission fail rather than the usual 4, and should it succeed.. well, we win? Whereas if we pick 4 new people, if it fails, we have to deal with 4 people that might be spies.
Seems like win-win either way, unless I'm missing something.

So said the first king, too. Shortly before seeing enemies literally fucking everywhere. Drove him insane... it was sad to watch.
Ok, so... with 3/9 bad guys and the bad guys and Oberon having to find each other... odds are actually not terrible for good guys winning this via dumb luck.
Percival reveal... how is it any different to anyone else claiming they're a good guy? There's no way to prove it either way.

Except that there is a Percival. Claiming good guy someone can't be like "uh, no, I'M the good guy!" So it's definitely not quite the same situation.

So do we believe the first guy to reveal as Percival here?
Would anyone but a spy fake claim? In which case, you have a clear target for the Lady if it's contested. If it isn't, then it's probably the real Percival.
Just doesn't seem like a smart spy move. Everyone claims good guy, so that doesn't make you a target.

I'm thinking same team + some random volunteer. Objections? Suggestions?

Number of knights per mission: 3-4-4-5-5. The fourth mission requires two fail cards to be played for the minions to win the round; all others require only one fail card.
Well why would fishing for a double fail be any better?
It seems like both suggestions are stemming off the same premise that the group was uninfiltrated. If we try for a double fail with a whole new group then we're looking for 2 of 3 bad guys in the same group of 4. While possible with only 2 bad guys left in the remaining 7 players, it's still under a 50% chance of getting both of them into the mission randomly. We have a much better chance if none of the bad guys made it into mission 1.
Whereas we win if we just go for 3+1 and succeed again.
I like the previous 3 + 1 more, we should get info based on trying to decide on the 4th and how the mission goes. Picking an all new team is much harder to get any info out of who ends up going on the team - if that makes sense.
Same logic as first game applies - Oberon and a bad guy outside the mission has reason to vote yes if bad guy is on mission. The good guys 'yes' votes are noise, sadly. I don't buy it that both bad guys AND Oberon voted yes for a clean team - if we pick a clean 4th, they lose immediately.

Assuming there are 5 goods and 4 spies (9 player game, what are the ratios?)
Then, if we've chosen an all good team, I would be the "extra" good guy, because I'm not on the mission, ha ha ha. This is unlikely, so there is probably at least 1 spy on the mission.

The lack of any sort of proposed silly quest goal confused me.

Why are we holy crapping?
Leadership passes to @Professor Phobos, who must assemble a party of four knights for the next quest.

Also, can we get # of people and fails for each mission? Didn't see it in the op

Sounds good.
Same team as before + Inksplat.
This game is moving quickly.
