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 think it can be quite easy to miss a post when there's so many. :-)

Ignore the sex change, this is Autumn.

So two days ago I was your senpai, now I'm a spy? Fickle fickle Jintan.

I think if Cathy Rose doesn't propose a team within 24 hours of the announcer's post (which would be this morning at 0950 server time), the announcer should just randomly pick four people out of a hat for her and let's get on with the game.

That wouldn't be a fair solution as it'd almost certainly lead to the mission being rejected and the spies being one up on their path to five rejections. I can think of two workable solutions should Cathy not wish to continue playing:

1) Everyone proposes a team, and The Announcer uses random selection to pick one.
2) Someone is brought in to replace Cathy in the game.

So Riza has just got back to me and told me that I can't actually quit the game. Which actually makes everything worse than it was before, and I'm still stuck on this island with you, except that now it's against my will.

I was hoping that by not proposing a team the game would just move on to Jintan and that I wouldn't have to post on this thread anymore but apparently I can't quit and the game is stuck in limbo until I make my move. So I propose to put all the ones I think are spies on my team, Yeti, Sindy, jintan, and also Bela so that just in case Yeti has convinced you that he wasn't a spy again you would have the good sense to shoot this team down. And if you all vote it will all be over in a couple of hours, and you won't have to complain about wasted time anymore.

I obviously think that jintan is a spy and I don't want to give him powers.

Shoot it down!

I said I'd vote YES to every future team line up from now on, and I will honour that.

YES

Mission 3

Team Proposal: Yeti, Sindy, Jintan, Bela

It is now time for the players to vote to either to approve or reject this mission proposal. When you do vote, please send me a PM stating "Mission 3, Team 2: YES/NO."

I don't recall something like this ever happening before, so sad.
