Game Analysis: Mordred The Player

Mordred is by far the evils biggest asset, for the fact that he is unknown to Merlin, and only known to the other evil players of the game. To be able to play Mordred the player needs to play as a generic good, blend in, and sneak onto as many missions as possible. The most efficient way of doing this is by gaining the trust of Merlin and using him as a close ally in the game.
Once the player has discovered they are Mordred, the planning must begin right away. The best strategy is as follows: discover Merlin, gain his trust, and then fail as many missions as possible.
