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.

Okay, my public vote. I'd considered the fact that Sindy, were she a spy, could have loaded the team down with two spies. Herself and Devi (as if Sindy is a spy and lying about Bela, Devi must be a spy too). Bela pointed this out instead of just signing herself up to using the IN THE SPOTLIGHT power, and this is evidence in favour of Bela being Resistance. Sindy then said that if Bela isn't using IN THE SPOTLIGHT, she'll vote no. Why is Sindy so eager to vote down a mission just because she won't have a power used on her? Because she loaded the team down with two spies, that's why. The fact is I think there's enough evidence now to strongly suspect (if not outright know) that Devi and Sindy are spies, and that Bela is basically off the hook.

I vote NO.

My three most likely to be spies are:

Sindy, Devi and Cathy.

As a note to Lou I will not vote YES to any team that includes one of those three.

I ask you, what kind of a crazy world is it where you out a spy and end up being the one most suspicious? This is CRAZY!

And the idea that Devi is a spy is absolutely ridiculous as I'm sure every one else can agree. Of course only I *know* this, but Bela Talbot III is a spy and if Devi was a spy as well she would never in a million years put another spy on her team.

Well, I can tell you this, the next time a spy reveals himself/herself to me I'll keep it to myself !

Well yeah, that is what a spy tends to do when another spy "outs" to them.

The power cards will reveal all, Yeti, and we'll be done with this ridiculous little spy game. I hope you get some good ones Lou.

I still don't see any real reason that Devi can be a spy. If anyone sabotaged mission #1 it was either Yeti or Bela. And if Devi is a spy, why would she choose other spies to go on the mission with her? It doesn't make sense.

We're not going to gain any clarity if we start believing random things that are being said on the board.

I'm sorry, why can't Devi be a spy? I thought you were against posts with reasons that don't make sense?

If Devi and Sindy are spies, which seems likely right now, then she selected two resistance members in Bela and I. She could sabotage Mission 1, then Bela had the misfortune of choosing Sindy to reveal herself to who then lies about Bela's allegiance to "clear" Devi. Based on the limited information we have that's the best conclusion right now, and certainly what I'll be going on.

But then if you're one of them, which also seems likely, you know all that all ready and this is just a shallow attempt to protect your fellow spies.
