I recently found an awesome party/social game called "The Resistance" that my friends and I love to play. The premise is very similar to games like "mafia" and "werewolf"; you have a group of players, in which some of them are working against the group and have knowledge the others don't.

In "The Resistance", you are basically members of an underground organization known as "The Resistance" attempting to destroy the establishment. However, among you there are counter-agents, or "Imperial Spies" who are working to sabotage your efforts. The spies know who they are, as well as who else is a spy, but will for all intents and purposes appear to be working toward the goals of the Resistance.

The game takes place over a series of 5 "missions". The Resistance is trying to complete 3 missions successfully, while the spies are attempting to sabotage 3 missions. First one to 3 wins.

Fair enough, nicnic. All I'm trying to do is to encourage you to look twice, particularly since you are an informal leader elect. I know for certain that I can trust that judgment, and until then I make my own calls.

You can't put much stock in the votes and my reasoning is this: merely because this is a new game, and many of us haven't played it. SO, especially in the first few rounds, people are still feeling their way and apt to say or do anything or tag along with the person who looks like they know what they are talking about. That is why I am so mistrustful of everyone across the board- I don't know who is shamming, and who is just blindly flinging themselves into gameplay hoping it turns out alright. Over the space of 5 missions, we probably won't test every water that needs a new PH balance, but my philosophy is simply that stirring them a certain way may bring new things to light.

I also didn't think Strong Leader was much to give anyone, since they could be a leader of a mission but everyone could still shoot it down. If it were a token more powerful I would have used it on people I thought were purely resistance. I hoped to create enough discord to do precisely this- draw people out of the woodwork and see just what they have to say for themselves...hmmmm, Special_K?

Well Special K, considering the last mission Illicit and Jason were on didn't fail, I can either go with that bit of info, or listen to you. hmmm....

Yea. I'm not listening to you, spy. :-P

In my eyes, Marc Lacrimosa is highly suspect. Not only has he been resolutely silent for this gameplay, he did try to push my proposed mission through. There is also the matter of his blow-up earlier. All in all I find him cagey, and rather think he is a spy.

They clearly voted to throw suspicion off themselves. Thats what I would have done.

I am voting no because I don't think I trust nic or Kristen. Also some people are being so quiet that I don't know if I trust them either. ..

Is it four hours yet? ;-)

Jason, dear. You know for sure whether biggie is a spy or not. On the last mission, biggie was on that team and you voted YES for the mission to go. While I am trusting you right now and do think you are Resistance based on results, could you please stop chat monkeying and PAY ATTENTION!

Thanks.

hehe hehe hehe



Also.... biggie/Kristen is Special K for anyone who may not know WTF people are talking about. Also I am Coco and accidentally posted as her the other day. Danny Mack is Leddie. YWIA.
