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.

I'm resistance, Yeti. I don't care how much you poke, it's not going to change. I actually think it's great news because if people keep putting you on their team this isn't going to end well. I've voted yes for this one due to the 5limit, but wouldn't have otherwise.

I'm Resistance; I'd be quite happy to demonstrate that under SPOTLIGHT. If this mission goes forward it'll be a SUCCESS. After that we can use the same team to win Mission 3, and then the same team plus ANYONE to win Mission 4 (as it requires two spies on it to SABOTAGE). There's going to be no way left for the spies to win.

Cathy, you are just leaning on the people who talks too much. That is biased. I am not a spy in this game. That being said, Sindy or Bela isn't on the team, which 1 spy and 1 resistance and I'm about 80% about it.

Then 2 resistance aren't on the team already. Only 3 resistance at best in that team. This explains what my vote is.

I think the key here is how will Bela try to read Yeti or Devi. If she succeed convincing us which one is the spy between the two. Then she will be cleared and Sindy will be 100% spy. And I would love that. If not, then she is the spy. Because at this point, to know which are the other spies is like vampire hunt.

Oh I forgot that rule, when you keep rejecting the proposal. So I'm forced to YES here, Am I? Bela needs to use the card this round though.

In effect, yes, you're forced to vote YES. Technically we can have one more try at forming a team, but since Devi has the NO CONFIDENCE power she'd be able to shoot down our final line up and instantly win it for the spies.

Bela is on the team by the way.

Please, Bela, use the card. On me or on Yeti. I won't use my card because I don't want to give this one to the spies by default. I'd rather the mission fail than to have the spies win the whole game.

Oh I didnt read quite right, but that is the resistance I was thinking of late and me of course. My suspicion on Autumn is now gone. And I kept saying that this is the kind of mixture set of players from my early posts also. Right before i went home from work, I was thinking that Bela and You must be on the team and Bela will use the card on you Yeti, that will make clear for at least 3 players to know which side they are really on.

I might be a little inactive to this thread because of heavy workload of late. But I will still try. I hope it will be success so that the game will end in my turn.

Have you head of the Liar Game? It's a japanese tv series about a tournament for liars. And if Bela is spy in this game, and her move to show her allegiance to a resistance player would definitely blow my mind. Not only that, I would also crown her being the Liar Queen. And Obviously that will only apply inside this thread only.

Cindy thank you, but no it's not a new or special title, anyone with over 20 approved intros gets it. Sorry for the delayed response but I got stuck in Paradise yesterday which put me incommunicado.

I figured that there was a good possibility that my team wouldn't get approved, so on to Miss Autumm's picks.
And just so you know I'm voting to approve this team.
