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.

Just goes to show if you have a pretty face you can get away with anything.

Aww, you guys spent half a day after the game was done trying to figure out who the spy was. :))) It's a-me! :D

I'm sorry for breaking Cathy, not sorry about Yeti; well-played Sindy (pretty face, schmetty face; you had to be scummy enough of a spy and make it look like we were definitely on different teams for my performance to have worked, and you killed it. :D To my fellow resistance players: know that almost the entire time, I *believed* I was Resistance too. At one point, somebody proposed a totally clean team, and I was so happy - I had to remind myself that the only reason I knew it was a clean team was because I was a spy, so would I please shut up and play for the spies. :P And I was NOT lying about being too busy to log in during this game (Autumn :D), and I mean what I said about shutting up and not playing if I know I can't really log in all that regularly. Be back in 2 months (?) with more comments. XP

Bravo, Bela! You were a superb spy, and WHAT a first outing. Not only did your team win 3-0 but you were on all three failed missions and stayed concealed right up until the end.

And well done to Sindy as well. Your outing Bela as a spy (effectively throwing yourself under the bus in the process) was crucial to our devious efforts, and your continuous needling of everyone was a joy to see. :-)

Thank you to everyone else for playing. Highlights for the resistance I think was when Devi guessed all the spies after the first mission, when Cathy noticed the "secret message", and when Jintan proposed a clean team for Mission 3. Terrifying moments for a spy!

Congrats spies! Especially to Bela, who played well, actually who didnt play much but they trusted you anyway.

I was trying to lead the game, but you think of me as a spy. So i didnt bother much to try harder. And also I'm new, so i get it, "We don't know him much so i don't trust him."

Ha! I got you! I was kidding.


Congrats again. If there is another game and our sched on the office is okay again I'll join to get my sweet revenge.

Haha yeah jintan what was that about, that you told us Autumn had confessed to you of being a spy? That was when I really thought you were a spy. Like I was 100% sure.

And you're right. Bela wasn't suspicious because she wasn't really posting or voting. Yeti and Sindy we figured out were spies soon enough :p
