On that subject, I like a house rule, especially for games with just five players, that say the Assassin has to pick out Merlin on their own - that is, they can't discuss with the other Minion of Mordred. Otherwise it seems like you'd have a 1-in-3 chance of hail mary winning just from plain guessing, and I worry that would too frequently rob Good of a well earned victory.
Doesn't work for larger player counts, or at least isn't as interesting.
Hedge is Morgana based on his assumption that I was Mordred
Dav is Mordred
Kaneski is only merlin if he was really trying to hide it
jdarksun can't be merlin (chose assassin & morgana and voted to approve)
sok was suggesting me
It should not be possible for merlin to approve that last mission since it was morgana & the assassin, so it has to be one of rhan, kaneski & kirindal.
Kirindal approved my inclusion in q3 vote 2, so I will guess that Merlin is Rhan9
Generally I intentionally maintained my ignorance, so I could watch. But I was prompted to check on identities when I noticed sokpuppet and kaneski just going at it like a couple in the middle of a nasty divorce. And oh, oh how I laughed. There was some great manipulating done by Team Evil, I must also say. Phyphor should be proud - all that Cylon training, I suspect.
Okay, for the follow-up, there are some options. We could try One Night Werewolf instead of Avalon, or perhaps Love Letter. Or Avalon II: Electric Boogaloo.
How did my voting record give me away? I have to admit given this was my first game that I had no idea what I was doing except trying not get called out by Merlin. I would like to learn from my mistakes.
Pegged Phyphor only after Rhan voiced concerns, but had to try and cover it. Didn't see Kirindal as Bro, actually thought Mega was more likely. Totally knew Davoid was Mordred though. Hedge as Morgana. Special knowledge on Hedge, but pure logic on Davoid, woo!
Anyway... Bro instead of Ob made this virtually impossible for bad guys to win. Also... I really expected 1000+ posts across the game. Guess it doesn't work as well as I thought.
@Kirindal I think the answer is - with 3.1, they thought they had a clean team, so you voting against made you suspect. If it's something else - I can't peg it.

Kinda want to just finish up and move on to the next game. Almost not worth it when we have so many people that just aren't playing.
Many thanks to Phobos for the patience and pro-activeness.
That doesn't make any sense when I type it out. Stupid brain.

Anyway...RESULTS TIME OH MAN ARE YOU EXCITED? I AM EXCITED.
Kaneski votes NAY.
Kirindal votes NAY.
Rhan9 votes NAY.
Sokpuppet, Megamek, Davoid, Hedgethorn, Phyphor, Jdarksun and Mikey CTS all vote AYE.
7 to 3, mission passes.
Oh, and I just wrote "A" and "R" and my handwriting is such that they actually look kind of similar, so if I got someone wrong, just shout out.
This is quest #4, which requires two failures, rather than one.

I vote Sokpuppet for Broberon.
The Minions of Mordred have prevailed. Evil Has Won.
You may now commence dramatic revelations, triumphant declarations and bitter recriminations!
I enjoyed running this and would be willing to do another.
If the Assassin gets the right Merlin I will E-buy them a real bottle of the shittiest whiskey I can find.

Fucking.
Way.
Has to be Jdark or Hedgethorn or Kaneski or nothing else makes sense... ?
I'm vanilla town, btw...
as if it were in doubt.
Megamek, Jdarksun, Mikey CTS and Sokpuppet were Loyal Servants of Arthur.
Rhan9 was Merlin.
Kaneski was Percival.
Phyphor, as you all know, was the Assassin
Davoid was Morded. Captain Hedgethorn was Morgana. Finally, Kirindal was Broberon.
and he was just avoiding suspicion the whole game?
... fuck ...
*sigh*
@Phyphor PM me a mailing address. or if you don't want the worst whiskey I can find, I'll send you a Steam game or something

Nah, thats alright. Not a whiskey drinker anyway. If you really want to, pick me up something in the next steam sale I guess
Oh, I have some games in mind for you
What's your Steam name?
I pegged you purely on voting record and intuition.
Though clearly not that much intuition because I got the important things wrong.
You may spite gift him Secret of the Magic Crystals, though.

I am terrible at social games.
Lesson learned.
(it's fun anyway)
