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.

And trust you, who has tried to paint me into a corner unsuccessfully all game long? Based on the fact that I'm just Molly? >:(

I play my strong leader card and resubmit the team as it was proposed.

Oh crud. I just re-read that. Do we want to use my card or hold onto it? I'm so confused.

You;ve got to be kidding me Bela. You're making me feel as if you're the spy, not Sal. I know full well Yeti is, and Joseph has already come clean. But what the heck? Ugh. Good call Justin

Devi, I agree. Bela is acting like a spy, but I know that she isn't. I believe that for this round we should call ourselves the bumblers, becasue we certainly aren't providing much resistance.

It's simple enough jroepel, just play your card, then propose the winning team of yourself, Bela, Molly and Yeti.

Jroepel, stick to the original team. I still feel this team is clean, I would disregard JZs vote. From what I understood, she's just trying to hurry the process along so the next game can begin. I'm actually fairly certain that means this team is clean and a SUCCEED would be a resistance win.

I was really expecting to be called a spy :D

Ah, go ahead, propose the same team again - I've got nothing anyway. What Justin did now was either very Resistance or he was just moving it along, knowing everything would be fine anyway. Who's paranoid? :D

Okay, yeah, play STRONG LEADER and propose the same team. Otherwise Molly will be able to pick the team next anyway, so go ahead, somebody do something :D
