After a period of absence, THE RESISTANCE has returned to the Sleuth boards with a healthy Yeti-flavoured taste.

For those unfamiliar, The Resistance is a social game of limited information. Players are split into two teams, one team being true members of the resistance, and the other being spies who have infiltrated the group. Over a course of five missions, resistance members aim to have three missions succeed, whereas spies aim to sabotage three of them. The only way for players to communicate with each other will be through this thread.

I'll post a detailed set of rules once the sign up process is over, but to give you an idea of how the game goes the first The Resistance thread on the Sleuth boards is here: http://noir.playsleuth.com/map/cityhall/post.spy?id=34582&first_record=302111

We'll need five to ten players in order to start the game. I'd like to keep this game flowing, so before putting your name down please make sure that to the best of your knowledge you'll be able to log in at least once a day for the next two weeks. You will not receive financial payment for playing THE RESISTANCE.

Sign up today!

I'm unfamiliar with the phrase "sticking a fork in". Does it mean calling time?

Thank you for sending that message. :)

Yes, it's something like "are we calling it dead" :))

Actually the phrase refers to cooking, my grandmother used to use it. As in checking to see if somethings finished cooking or done.

The results are in, and the mission will be going ahead. Devi and turtledove, please send me your SUCCESS/SABOTAGE votes privately. Real resistance members must vote SUCCESS, but spies have the option of voting for SABOTAGE instead, should they choose.

Lol, well that makes sense, but in a way the "is it dead" works too since it needs to be dead for you to cook/eat it. lol.

Devi and turtledove got to work on capturing Severus "Switchblade" Scroggs, who was currently holed up in London. After a series of related cases, they worked out that their villain was hiding at the Barber. Devi approached the Barber, but did not get there before Severus "Switchblade" Scoggs saw her and ran out of the back door.. right into turtledove's waiting blow with a blackjack with knocked the potential escapee out cold. "One way or another we always seem to catch them sleeping..." mused Devi when she caught up.

When Severus "Switchblade" Scroggs re-awoke he was questioned about the UVE Villainic. "I don't know the exact location of the UVE Villainic, but I can tell you that it's WEST OF MOSCOW." Ultimately of course, everything is WEST OF MOSCOW, but it was a start.

??? SUCCESS
??? SUCCESS

The mission was a success!

Resistance: 1
Spies: 0

Mission Two

The Resistance has located another villain that they're interested in, who goes by the name Sir "Crazy Eyes" Wolf. A ridiculous name, the Resistance all agree, but sometimes there's just no guessing what rational Villains use in their thinking. Sir "Crazy Eyes" Wolf was located somewhere in Cairo, and a team of three would be required to bring them in.

Devi, please propose a team of three players to go on this mission. Your power to distribute is:

ESTABLISH CONFIDENCE: The player who receives this will immediately and privately learn the allegiance of the power distributor via PM from me. The distributor can use the power on themselves should they wish. The power must be used immediately.
