As Miss Hawkeye will be quite busy doing background work on the Olympics, this round of Resistance will return to its original format. There will be no story to accompany the missions, but everything else will work the same as usual.

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.

I will serve as game master. Once we get enough people to play (5-10 total), I will PM everyone their allegiance (either "Resistance" or "Spy"). If you are a "Spy," I will also PM you the names of your co-conspirators.

A "leader" will be chosen at random for the first mission. The leader has 2 important functions:
1) The leader will assign various "role" abilities to players. These are one-shot special powers a player can use to learn more information about someone.
2) The leader will assign players to the "team" for that mission.

Missions will have a varying number of players who are selected; the leader picks a team, then every player will vote on whether or not they approve the team by PMing me. Once all the votes are cast, I will post the voting results. If a majority approves the team, the mission starts. If not, the mission does not start, and the next player in line becomes the new "leader" for that round. This continues until either a mission is approved, or 5 consecutive mission teams are rejected (in which case the spies win automatically.)

Once a mission team is approved, those players will PM me their choice of action during that mission. Resistance players will ALWAYS choose to have the mission succeed by sending "Success," while spies have a choice: they can either elect to have the mission succeed (to throw off suspicion), or they can "Sabotage" the mission.

Let me reintroduce everyone to Lilith. Now if you'll excuse me I need to start the dishwasher. *Looks pointedly at Lilith*

No offense but, Autumn, I'm not sure which one is more psychotic, you or your phone.... :P

Alright here's where I'm at.

As I think more about it, I'm suspicious of Yeti. It may be my womanly empathy clouding my judgment but I tend to believe Devi.

Because of this, I want to push this mission forward. I want a resistance win before things start getting hairy and keep it strong. I trust JZ because of Yetis suspicion of the mission- if he's a spy then he recognizes no spies are on this mission. Also, it would be an obvious move as I said before, so I feel confident this will be a resistance win. There isn't too much strategy talk going on on the boards, so I'll just stick with my yes vote.

Oh, Molly. I'd really, really hoped you weren't a spy this round.

If I had a dollar for everytime you call me a spy I'd be able to furnish my Cairo apartment.

Okay, I think I'm changing my no to a yes vote.
I hope I'm doing the right thing...

The mission is now ready to proceed. Devi and Joseph must PM me whether they vote to SUCCEED or whether they vote to SABOTAGE the mission.

Sal, would you like to use your IN THE SPOTLIGHT ability?

Sal will not be using IN THE SPOTLIGHT.

(Side note: I haven't put a 24-hour voting timer on this game, and will leave it that way for now. Life happens; I know. )

That's rather annoying. We can but hope that Devi chooses SUCCESS, but somehow I don't think she will.
