Percival Role

General Information:

Percival's role is to protect and correctly identify

Merlin to prevent

Merlin’s assassination by the Minions of Mordred. Percival sees

Merlin and

Morgana at the beginning of the game but must discern which is which without revealing their identities to others.

General Tips:

• Understand Your Role: Knowing that you are one of
  Merlin's primary protectors, your main goal is to obscure
  Merlin’s identity.
• Pay Attention to Behavior: Observe the behaviors and suggestions of the two players identified as
  Merlin and
  Morgana. Try to deduce who the real
  Merlin is based on how they guide the team.
• Be Subtle: When defending or following the advice of who you believe is
  Merlin, be subtle. Direct defense of
  Merlin can lead to
  Morgana and the minions of Mordred identifying and later assassinating
  Merlin.

Strategic Tips:

• Create Ambiguity: Sometimes, acting unsure or casting doubt can help protect
  Merlin's identity. If evil players are unsure who
  Merlin is, it’s harder for them to win the game by assassinating
  Merlin.
• Communicate Through Votes: Voting patterns can be a subtle way to communicate. Percival can show agreement or disagreement with
  Merlin’s suspected choices through voting, without openly discussing it.
• Guide Quietly: Percival often knows who the good players are. Guide them towards the right decisions subtly without exposing
  Merlin or yourself.
• Protect Merlin to the End: In the end game, be ready to take suspicion upon yourself to protect
  Merlin's identity, especially if you have established yourself as a trusted good player.

Playing as Percival in Avalon offers a unique challenge and requires a combination of subtlety, discernment, and strategic misdirection. Your role is crucial in protecting

Merlin and ensuring the success of the forces of good. Be vigilant, be strategic, and above all, protect

Merlin at all costs.
