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.

Mission 5

Mission 5 will consist of FOUR team members.

The team leader has been given two advantages to distribute to whomever she sees fit. They are:

OPINION MAKER - Receiver of this card must vote first publicly whether or not to approve a mission for the rest of the game. Must be used immediately.

KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON YOU - Receiver of this card may look at one team member's action (Success/Sabotage) on a mission they are on, after the results of the mission are in.

Devi, please assign these abilities when you're ready. Keeping an ability for yourself is also acceptable.

I'll use the same team as before of myself, Justin, Molly, and Bela . I'll use Opinion Maker on.. Bela and i'll keep the second. Pure formalities , I'm sure.

Aug-21-2016 14:59

Devi has chosen to give OPINION MAKER to Bela. Bela must vote on this thread whether or not to approve a mission for the rest of the game.

Devi has chosen to keep KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON YOU for herself.

Mission 5

Team Leader: Devi
Team Proposal: Devi, Justin, Molly, 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 5, Team 1: YES/NO."

Aug-21-2016 15:05

I vote Yes to this and a win for the Resistance!

Aug-21-2016 15:23

Devi will SINK this game if this mission is allowed to go through. We must vote NO!

Aug-21-2016 17:01

I vote yes. I think it is pretty clear that Yeti is a spy on this one. Since this is the same team as before, and we had a win... I say we should stick with the same team.

Plus, they need two sabotages on a game of four to sink the boat. Even if a spy hid last time, there's no two of them in the group.

Whoa, Devi your new avatar pic threw me for a loop. I am pretty tired and saw the picture and was all confused.

Aug-21-2016 22:54

It's BadAss' idea for the Olympics. We all have new ones that are going to get updated these days :)) I'll be back to the old one in no time

Devi, why are you lying to everyone? Mission 5 needs only one SABOTAGE to fail. A SABOTAGE you're planning to provide if everyone is silly enough to allow you onto this mission.
