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.

Why would fingers be pointed at me? LOL. What have I done that is suspicious? You mean like trying to convince everyone to vote down the first mission - which actually failed? And if I'm the spy, that means Special K is a spy because Jason and Illict are clean. And I have consistently tried to get people to vote AGAINST missions Special K is on.

Being suspicious of me makes about as much sense as anything else that has happened thus far. :-P

Also, I think the last spy has to be one of Marc or Danny because Special K said she thought they were Resistance and she knows who the spies are. I think Molly may be doing strange things because she doesn't like to play linear or something.

Hm. You may be right, I guess you would only pick that team again if you knew something that we didn't and since that is both a.) a huge gamble and b. ) very unlikely due to no information sharing outside the game, its inconclusive.

BAH! Haha.

I picked the team again because it passed the first time it went. And actually I didn't pick it, Jason did. LOL

Well, right, but you know what I mean. Endorsement and all. *hand wave*

Quick question before I post mission 4 details...

Does anyone care about the "flavor" text I've been writing (the mission "details", as it were)? If not, I can just skip that and get right to the heart of the mission information... :)

Jun-8-2012 11:33

Oh, like the story of what happened? No, keep that, I love it.

Jun-8-2012 11:37

OK, one "yes" was all I needed... will come up with Mission 4 details shortly :)

REMINDER OF PLAYER ORDER:
M. Lacrimosa
Nicnic
Molly Maltese
Illicit
Jason Arends
Danny Mack (current leader)
Cekuray
Special_K

ROUND 4 (Spies lead 2-1)

In this round, here is the mission information:
Danny Mack is the leader. He is about to receive two abilities that he must distribute to players in the game (including himself if he chooses) before the mission can begin.

Those abilities are:
"OPINION MAKER": The player who receives this MUST vote to approve or reject mission proposals first, and publicly, for the rest of the game (Everyone will see your vote in the message board before they submit their own votes.)
"ESTABLISH CONFIDENCE": The player who receives this will immediately and privately learn the allegiance of the leader via PM from me (in this case, Danny Mack's allegiance). NOTE: Danny can elect to keep this for himself, with no effect, if he so chooses.

Danny, the choice is yours; who will receive these abilities?
