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.

Thank you, everyone ! :)

What I meant, Yeti is that this is something you do quite often. You focus on bringing someone down, hounding them until they want to punch you and when you sense they've reached the end of tbe rope you slack off a bit and find another focus. That alone tells me you're a spy again.

Happy birthday devi! 🎂

My proposed team is myself, Lou, Bela, and yeti.

Resistance has got to get a mission through successfully. We need intel and we need power. Getting a team through, hopefully successfully, is the only way that will happen.

I believe the spies are Sindy (being too melodramatic and overplaying it), Cathy, and Jintan.

I don't believe devi is a spy but in the interest of getting a mission through, I'm keeping her off. Yeti is the only one one I'm *really* unsure of but he has to vote publicly now so this early in the game, he may as well be resistance.

Bela told us at the beginning she wouldn't be able to log on as much because life was busy. (BTW I had a migraine and missed voting because I was sleeping it off.) If she set that up before the game even started just in case she got assigned spy that's some dedication since she'd have to fake being absent (and refrain from posting and analyzing) for long periods of time, which, let's be honest, isn't going to happen. Or she would have to come up with a reason her schedule suddenly cleared.

Lou has done nothing to suggest being a spy.

And I know I'm resistance.

Remember, if 5 teams are voted down, the spies win by default. This is team #4.

I disagree that I've slacked off on taking Cathy to task, Devi. She's obviously not enjoying being a spy, it's round two and she's been sussed out before she's even been on a mission. Just because I don't want her to be miserable it doesn't mean I'm wrong about her.

Ok Autumn. So who do you think sabotaged mission #1? Because I wasn't on it, and neither were Sindy nor Jintan.

If she gets a sparkle pony I do too!

And Cathy, you're forgetting I left the possibility of yeti being a spy. But he has to vote publicly so we'll get to see what he has to say.

Short answer, you three aren't the only ones I believe could be spies.
