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.

Yup is have read ot after my post. She isnt trying then. Passing the guilt is a spy signature move. Still what we need is 2 from the first mission and 2 new one of which everyone has agreed. We will have something after that for sure.

Why would you pick 2 from a mission that failed, and where it's possible that there were 2 spies?

Oh, and Bela says she is having it voted down because that way Sindy won't have access to Special Powers when her turn comes.

Also, remember Jintan, we are all rookies here compared to you, so we may be pulling more rookie moves than you may think.

If you are Resistance, that is :)

Nope. I am a rookie in this kind of game. And also there is a huge time gap in which i cant talk since i'm at work. I need to read also first. Read everything. Which i am not good at.

In having 2 spy in the first mission is not that often. Also i believe in these guys that they didnt talk elsewhere other than this post. If that so, if 2 spy are in the same mission, they would be confuse who needs to sabotage it. Their cover will blew. Easy to get 2 spy in a team of 3. Unless they have some kind of strong conectiin or feeling that only one will sabotage it. Which is most possible if you are a psychic like my profile picture.

It could have been two spies. Yeti said in his post that he was going to vote SUCCESS, remember?

That way the second spy would read it, and know what to do.

So the second spy would be able to vote SABOTAGE, and not be detected as having two on the team.

Yup if Yeti is one of them. So you kinda agree that Bela and Devi cant be both spy?

True Yeti's reaction that he was setup is a natural response either for spy or resistance. But i sense him as innocent this time.

Actually i dont know. Its hard to read since you post something you have thought for a while. Meaning, you have chosen it very well. Unlike in real life, you need to say some in this instant. So we cant rely on syntax, intonation, or stress. Not even the choice of word/words.

So you need to trust someone based on what they say? I'm not sure.

Brings back to the topic. I dont believe Yeti is spy. Not right now anyway

Btw guys. Its best not to have just one round of this game. So i am proposing lets do it again after this. Same people and we can add more. Its more interesting the 2nd time around.

Wow just read all the above, ok resistance we took a hit but it's not critical, this is the great part of this game, as to who's the spy it's too early to tell, I agree with Mr Jintan, read and think, my son says that playing it as a live game is much easier, because you have all the non verbal clues to work with. So I agree with Bella's logic on this team proposal and think it's a pretty smart move, so I'll be voting no on this team.

All Resistance players, I implore you to take Lou and Jintan's advice and really think.

The reason Bela doesn't want me to have the opportunity to get my hands on any power cards is because she knows darn well that if I get anything decent I'll use it on her. And by picking the team she has, she has absolutely ensured that will not happen.

Not only that, she has put me in a position to take the fall if I unwittingly pick one of her *true* spy cohorts on the team I put together – if it will even pass. In which case, she is just one step closer to getting team leadership to one of her fellow spies.

For your first time out as a spy, Bela, you're doing a bang-up job.

Just remember, I am not the one who was on a team that was sabotaged. I am not the one who voted for a team that was sabotaged.
