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.

Oh lord, I'm just being railroaded by these two. Now I sympathize completely with Devi- I don't believe for a second she was a "spy" when Yeti so obviously is. Clearly, I'm voting NO and if you're Resistance you won't let the wool be pulled over your eyes by these little con artists.

Devi, I think you are correct about Joseph being a spy. If so, I also think that Justin may be a spysince Joseph would probably like to keep up the confusion as long as possible. Bela is Resistance though. Remember that 2/3 of this team have already been on a failed mission. Vote this team down, Resistance people.

Mission 3, Team 1

Team Leader: Joseph
Team Proposal: Joseph, Justin, Bela

It is now time for the players to vote to either approve or reject this mission proposal. When you do vote, please send me a PM stating "Mission 3, Team 1: YES/NO."

I don't think Justin can be a spy, Sal. Let's say for the sake of argument that both Joseph and Justin are spies, would Joseph not use the power on Molly instead? I'm inclined towards Joseph being resistance as Devi picked her for a team, and Molly is by far the most likely of the two to be a spy. Really though, Justin is our safest bet for Resistance right now. All missions must include him.

The spies are revealing themselves now. Sal knew there's a spy in the team and so did Yeti, that's why they claimed they knew the mission would be a failure. Now they are gaining footing and Sal is calling us spies when Molly's cover is blown. He is trying to cover her tracks but it is as obvious as a neon sign flashing in a moonless night!

Sal, there's a spy on the failed mission and you know very well that it was Molly. Think about it, would Justin and I voted Yes together on a mission with two spies in it? Molly is a spy so she picked us, knowing we were safe and people would vote Yes to this team. Then she sabotaged it.

All my future mission must include Justin now knowing he is clean. As to Bella, you have vouched for her yourself saying she's resistance, and that time, I think you were telling the truth.

I've no idea why you're so sure I'm a spy, Joseph. I've been increasingly suspicious of Molly all game, to the point where I voted NO to the last mission as she was on it. The mission then failed, and using your power you determined Molly was a spy.

You're right about Bela as well, with two spies (Devi and Molly) ruled out there's no way Bela can be a spy (as Sal would have to be a spy too to lie about her allegiance). I asked Molly to substitute herself for Bela in the last mission! Your team of yourself, Justin, and Bela is one I'd proposed PERSONALLY to Molly.

The fact is I've been consistently on point about safe teams and who the spies are. We even all agree that Sal is a very likely pick for third spy. Why are you going after me with such gusto?

You heard it here first, a team isn't a safe unless there's two spies on it.
