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.

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!

Aww, look at DW and Yeti getting along :D

Yes, thank you Yeti. I am definitely Resistance - I'll write it out! There's officially no way I can be a spy since there are only three spies in this game, and if I'm a spy, Sal's a spy too (having vouched for me being Resistance). But there are already at least two spies in the Yeti-DW and Molly-Joseph-jroepel camps, so if I were a spy, there'd be more than three spies running around. Okay, more later.

Joseph, I love you dearly, but my "covering for Molly" is as obvious as neon sign flashing on a moonless night?

That flashing light has revealed the pile of dog doo doo that you're trying to sell. Don't step in it. Oops, too late. :)

Yeti. So you have been consistant all along. You about questioned my sanity when I attempted to put Justin on a mission team and now you say he has to be on every team. Give me a break.

I don't think Sal necessarily has to be resistance to vouch for you Bela. If Yeti lied about DW to start off with, that's a bold enough move that I don't think it would be used twice. Any spy would reveal Resistance as Resistance because otherwise it would just be way too messy. In my opinion anyway. The trouble is he didn't put you on a team. If he was gunning for a resistance win of course he would stack the team with known resistance members.
