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.

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.

This game is so stressful, every time I read this thread I end up regretting it.

Devi so we far we have only shot down 3 teams. So one more team can be shot down before we risk losing the game.

Basically this team can be shot down and Yeti won't get any powers the next round, and his mission will fail.

OR this mission goes through and it either fails or succeeds. Also idk if Bela is using her card. Then Yeti gets new powers when his turn comes.

Jan-30-2017 14:56

Basically:

Mission 2 team 4 gets shot down by Devi. Yeti can form a new team that will have to go through and that will probably fail. But at least he won't get Powers.

OR

We let this team go through, risking a fail or pass. And Yeti gets Powers for sure when his turn comes next.

:/

God, I didn't know I had all this game strategy in me.

The results of the vote on Autumn's MISSION 2 Proposal are in.

Autumn proposed a team of:
- Autumn
- Lou
- Bela
- Yeti

This mission proposal has been APPROVED by a vote of 7-1. The votes are as follows:

DevilishWings YES
Bela Talbot III YES
Sleuth Sindy YES
Lou Hoyle YES
Autumnsprings YES*
Yeti Face YES
Cathy Rose NO*
Jintan YES

Devi will not be using NO CONFIDENCE.

The mission is now ready to proceed. Bela, will you be using IN THE SPOTLIGHT? If not, Autumn, Lou, Bela, and Yeti must PM me whether they vote to SUCCEED or whether they vote to SABOTAGE the mission. If you will, then everyone else not affected by IN THE SPOTLIGHT must PM me their votes.

**Resistance members must vote SUCCEED, while Spies may choose to vote either SUCCEED or SABOTAGE.**

Oh, and thanks Yeti for confusing Devi about what would happen if she were to use her card.

Devi, you know better than to listen to him!

Hope u enjoy your new powers Yeti

PS: Yeti, have you considered switching alliegances? It would be fun to mix it up a little by switching teams mid-game. What do u say? :) *extends scented invitation*
