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.

Molly, I suspected you from the start, I admit it. I have had about 4 or 5 possible spies and my suspicions have varied from time to time, vote to vote and sometimes even comment to comment. I only know for sure that Bela and I are resistance.

I must say, that I am a bit surprised at your vote. After all, a SABOTAGE vote has no repercusions here, so maybe you ARE forced to vote SUCCEED after all.

Okay, okay, Sal, I get it. If it helps, I really don't know which way is up any more; like I said earlier: bleah.

Even if this mission passes, all it proves is that Molly isn't a spy. Just that she's the most suspicious resistance player ever. Devi though, *is* still a spy. We can't allow her on the final mission!

Suuure, yeti, sure.keep on blapping along nownthat your plans have gone to the loo. And let's be clear, you're not going to be next to call a team cause I'll use my card. I want this to be clear from now in case you want to jump at the occassion and I'm not around

Unless the Announcer is playing a cruel trick on me, I think we might actually stay afloat to see another round. You spies won't say anything either way, but I shall tentatively look forward to another scary round of picking players. And while it might be too late (and I see a sledgehammer in the distance), I think Sal is Resistance. Explosions! (Of course, if this mission fails, Sal and Yeti are Resistance, but the game will be over too.)

Sal, unless there were two spies on that team, any spy on it would choose to help the mission SUCCEED (be forced to vote SUCCEED); a single SABOTAGE vote doesn't mean the mission fails and can only tip off Resistance players that the team isn't clean after all. I think I trust DW, and I even trust Molly more or less - so if you're Resistance, jroepel's a spy - and that's confusing.
