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.

Those are the votes I meant. Not the sabatoge/success votes.

And you know you can't be the third spy. You just can't prove it yet. I've been falsely accused before so I know how it feels. And IIRC whoever was accusing me was being much worse. So if you aren't a spy I'm sorry. But until I'm sure this is the best I can come up with. If I'm wrong we damn well better get a good team next or the spies win.

Well he's already made his vote public, which was a yes. So... I don't see how that advances us.

You said that you thought Devi and Bela were good. And he was the third person on that mission. So... why pick him to go on the team with you?

:/

... also Autumn, you said that you wanted the mission to go through because we need new powers. Also you think that jintan is a spy. And if your mission goes through you won't get any powers. But jintan will get new powers, since he's right after you. He may even get Strong Leader.

Wait. It's not jintan who's after you, Autumn. It's YETI. You want to give him Powers???

No frigging way. I am pretty sure that he's a spy. And he was campaigning to get this mission off the ground so he can get fresh powers as he's next.

I say shoot this thing down.

Any 4 person team I'm on has a guaranteed 25% chance of success. ; )

I never mentioned powers. I pointed out the fact that if five mission teams fail the spies automatically win and that this is team 4. Vote against the team if you like Cathy. I won't hold it against you. I'm just doing what I think is best for the resistance. If you don't believe me nothing I say will change your mind. And I feel too shitty to attempt a fruitless task.

I just noticed your title Lou. Is that new? Is that an achievement for submitting x number of intros or is it a special title endowed by the Sleuth powers that be.

Cathy, part of the problem is that you have the wrong end of the stick. It's not about proving that you're NOT a spy, it's about finding out who IS a spy. There is absolutely no way to prove you are Resistance. I mean, look at me. I've been trying for three days. :) The spies don't CHOOSE to be spies, everyone is assigned their role. Not everyone likes being a spy and some people would prefer to be a spy. But to make this game work everyone has to go run with the role they were given. For instance, I understand that Bells was told by Riza that she is a spy and therefore she has to pick on me. :P I don't take it personally. She's just playing the game. Instead of posting about why YOU are NOT a spy, tell us who you think is a spy and why. Personally, I just don't have enough information - aside from Bela - to be able say that with any certainty.

I also don't take it personally that nobody believes me because I know it's a game decision they've made in the game - it's not a decision about me personally.
