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.

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?

The only safe team is me, justin, molly and bela

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

The only safe team is me, justin, molly and bela

If this mission goes through it will be a SUCCESS. Then you'll have to eat your words, Devi.

Sure sure. Now, why did that message double post with yours in between? Any mod to delete it, please?

Since the messages were so far apart I assumed you'd intentionally repeated yourself, and so I responded a second time. Consequently I don't want to delete it.

Lol, no and no idea why it did that. I posted from my phone so maybe it did a weird thing when switching between apps?! no idea.

Well this is divisive. However DW you are correct I believe on the four resistance members. JZ, Sal and Yeti seem thick as thieves. The nice thing is as true Resistance members the four of us have the power to sway the vote away from these three. If we move as a united front, we can succeed!
