Hello everyone. It's been some time since we've had a game of Resistance, so I'll be hosting one (without story) for everyone to enjoy. If you've never played before, feel free to jump right into the world of uncertainty and lies. I promise lots of fun. :)

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.

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

Devi has chosen to keep NO CONFIDENCE for herself.

Mission 1, Team 1

Team Leader: Devi
Team Proposal: Devi, Yeti, 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 1, Team 1: YES/NO."

I think giving someone who has publicly stated that he's a spy, the opinion maker option and choosing them for the 1st mission is an excellent choice, it forces them to publicly vote first for every round thereafter making it very difficult for them to give a plausible reason for any negative vote they might wish to cast. If Yeti is what he's claiming, he's muddying the waters and essentially taking a bullet to help cover for the other spies. But what I'm puzzled over is why anyone on the resistance team would claim to be a spy publicly, where's the advantage? The spies already know their co-conspirators, so I do believe that Yeti is what he claims. Now who are his other saboteurs. As to retaining the other option for herself, I think that this also is the right move but only if Devi is truly in the resistance. Spies beware, we are looking for you, and if we look for you we will find you, so be very careful.

Sorry that was Lou, wrong log in.

Jan-24-2017 08:50

If I'm missing something or my logic is flawed I'm asking my other resistance teammates to help me, I believe that we should win this 1st mission. Yeti has already voted his approval, thus making it difficult for either of the others to vote no without a really good reason, or risk giving themselves away.

Jan-24-2017 08:59

So does that mean you'll be voting YES to this one, Lou?

Jan-24-2017 09:23

No, Lou! Vote NO!

Jan-24-2017 09:31

Okay, guys. You both say that you DO believe that Yeti *is* a spy. And he is on that first mission. First mission is: Devi, Bela, and Yeti.

So why vote yes?

The Resistance doesn't want any spies on our teams!!

Jintan, did you check out the link I posted? I think Yeti is probably who he says he is. He was in the first team of spies that ever won Resistance, and he did that by stating he was spy. Please guys, pay attention. If we are going to win, we need all the information we need, and past games *are* information, especially at the beginning of the game where we have low intel on gameplay.

Also, no one should try to derive conclusions about who's who from what Yeti Face does or says in the game. I have looked over two games he was in so far and in Resistance: Rose, he spends his time accusing Riza to be a spy. And she *does* turn out to be a spy. In another, he drags Sal down with him by treating him though he were a fellow spy, and Sal turns out to be innocent. So best way to keep your mind straight and in the game is to just ignore anything he says or does, because his only aim is to sow confusion so that we make assumptions about the meaning of his actions to the point where we don't know what's going on anymore.

Best ignore everything he says, and never try to interpret what it means about who's who.

Did anyone look over the link I posted earlier? Please, Resistance, have a look at it:

Resistance, guys, help me out, please. I can't win this game alone.

And DevilishWings, you still haven't responded to the question I posed earlier:

*Why did you choose Yeti to be on your team after he said he was a spy?*

You were on Resistance: Rose with him where he said the same thing and he actually *was* a spy.

And your Resistance team ended up losing the game to him and Riza.
