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.

Ugh I hope we get useful powers in play next round, the doubt is killing me!

The results of the vote on Molly's MISSION 2, TEAM 2 Proposal are in.

Molly Proposed a team of
-Molly
-Joseph
-Justin

This mission proposal has been APPROVED by a vote of 4-3. The votes are as follows:

Yeti Face NO
DevilishWings YES
Sal Iva NO
Molly Maltese YES
Joseph Zeo YES
jreopel YES
Bela Talbot III NO

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

**Resistance members must vote SUCCEED, while Spies may choose to vote either SUCCEED or SABOTAGE.**

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

Wow look, it's the same spy lineup we had before.

Aug-13-2016 08:17

I just feel that's incredibly suspicious. I can't help it.

I don't think this mission has the best of chances to be honest. To be fair, there is a chance Molly isn't actually a spy, it's just really unlikely given how suspicious she's been acting. If anyone is going to SABOTAGE this mission, it'll be Molly.

Seriously Yeti? It's a lost cause you are attempting. I've just voted. This mission will be a success! Then we'll add DW to our team next and there's nothing you three spies can do about it. It'll be a three straight wins for the resistance! Take that!!

Aug-13-2016 11:04

I'm not the spy you claim me to be, Joseph. I genuinely hope I'm wrong about this team line up, as I would like a three straight win victory for the Resistance. I think only three players are needed on the next mission, so if this mission is a SUCCESS there'll be no reason to introduce a spy to the team in the form of Devi.

Aug-13-2016 11:46

Oh I'll sabotage alright, if we're referring to your silly attempts to suggest I'm a spy based on zero evidence. Tell me what's so suspicious, hmmm?

Aug-13-2016 12:03

I was going "not this again" because everybody knows now that Joseph and jroepel will also come around and say "yup, these three: spies!" but I then I realized this: if this mission succeeds, I don't really mind all of that; call me a spy all you want, and send the same team on the next mission. However, I doubt that it will succeed, because it will leave the spies in a pretty difficult position. I'm very tempted to ask Sal if he could use his spotlight card on one of the three on the team because I figure any spy on the team will have to sabotage this mission. If we can clear a single person, and one of the other two sabotaged, we'd know for sure that at least one of the two was a spy. It's possible that the person we clear may also be a spy, but there can only be a max of two spies on this team because either Yeti is a spy, or DW is a spy, or both are (my favourite scenario so far, for totally biased drama-based reasons :D).

Your reasoning for voting through the team with Devi on it was suspicious, your not finding Sal suspicious was suspicious, your entire demeanour is suspicious. You're an entire package of suspicious, all wrapped up in a red flag. You *could* be resistance, but it's really not very likely is it?
