After years of anticipation, the Battery Boardwalk has finally opened its doors to the general public. The residents of Sleuthville come streaming in through the ticket booth--a line stretching as far as the eye can see. Among those gaining entry is a group of elite detectives with complimentary day passes to the attractions, invited specifically to keep an eye on things. A week prior to opening, the higher-ups at the Boardwalk had received anonymous threats of sabotage and murder if the Boardwalk was not torn down immediately. However, the proprietor was not one to submit to intimidation. Thus, on opening day, a group of highly-ranked detectives were tasked with keeping the park safe.

Unfortunately, there have been rumors floating around that some in the ranks of the elite had been approached by the mysterious threat-maker, and were now working for him to guarantee the day would end in disaster. It is said only those who turned to the dark side knew who the others were; everyone else had to eye each other with suspicion and make their own judgements. Although the team has been compromised, there is no time to vet and assemble another one on such short notice. Yet the day is young and there are plenty of opportunities to ensure opening day is a success.

The detectives’ job this fine day is to make the rounds of the park and keep an eye out for any suspicious or potentially dangerous activities. If opening day goes off without a hitch, the Boardwalk is sure to bring in millions, and the detectives would stand to receive a substantial cut for their services. But if it were to fail, then Sleuthville would be plunged into financial ruin and return to the days of never-ending guilty clients and exorbitant Shady fees. Oh no.

Will the Battery Boardwalk’s grand opening be an unparalleled success, or will it go down in flames accompanied by nothing but the screams of disappointed visitors? Stay tuned to find out in this installment of The Resistance.

Mission 2, Team 1

Team Leader: Bela
Team Proposal: Bela, Sal, Zara

It is now time for the players to vote to either approve or reject this mission proposal. When you do vote, please send me a PM stating "Mission 2, Team 1: YES/NO." 24 hours.

Please feel free to discuss.

The first round only gives a glimmer of insight. I AM Resistance. I think Bela is probably Resistance. But, if she is a spy, then she would know that I was Resistance and that she would reveal her allegiance by voting "Sabotage". This keeps us guessing for at least one more round. I feel very sure that Zara or miss snopes is a spy. I'm sorry ladies I"m only trying to use some logic here. Aspen has been very quiet and that raises my suspicion, but I have nothing on which to base that right now. I am going to yield to Bela's thinking here on the make up of this team. I am not convinced that this will fly, but here's another possibility. Sal is resistance, Bela is a spy and Zara is a spy. Now if this team goes, either of them can vote to sabotage the mission after the team is approved. There will be no way to tell which one sabotaged the mission. Well, we have to find out something, I hope.

I've been playing different scenarios over in my mind based on the limited information I know and think I know. Being Resistance, I obviously want all 3 Resistance members on the team for this mission because this will be the easiest for a spy to hide his/her sabotage vote. Since I am NOT on the team, that means there is at least 1 spy on it.

Okay, I've made my decision. Vote sent.

Jun-2-2017 04:30

Okay, I've changed my mind a few times about this, and I'm still waiting to see what Aspen thinks, but I think I'll send my vote now.

Jun-2-2017 09:52

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

Bela proposed a team of
-Bela
-Sal
-Zara

This mission proposal has been APPROVED by a vote of 4-1. The votes are as follows:

Zara Bande YES
Sal Iva YES
Bela Talbot III YES
AspenK YES
miss snopes NO

The mission is now ready to proceed. Bela, Sal, and Zara must PM me whether they vote to SUCCEED or whether they vote to SABOTAGE the mission.

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

You have 24 hours to get your votes in, or they will be randomized (SUCCEED/SABOTAGE) as applicable to your affiliation.

I thought I posted before I voted. Oh well, I stated that there is bound to be a spy on the team seeing as how there are only 5 people playing and 2 are spies. There is no avoiding it.

Jun-2-2017 20:27

Even before the second Mission succeeds or fails, I am interested in miss snopes vote on the proposed team. As the only NO vote, I am thinking that perhaps she knows from her allegiance being divulged to Zara and Zara's subsequent declaration that miss snopes is a spy, that Zara was not being truthful with us and has done all she can to warn us about it. But then again, maybe I'm wrong and Zara has told the truth. We should find out soon.

Jun-2-2017 20:29

If the mission fails at least we will know that 2 out of the 3 are spies. Then slowly deduce from there.

Jun-2-2017 23:20

And I am curious about AspenK voting yes.

If she is a spy then she knows that the other spy is on the team so by voting yes, she can continue to lie low and not out herself while the other spy sabotages this mission.

Well judging by the other comments and reasoning on this thread it would seem that either Sal or Bela (or both) could have performed a nice "lying low" strategy. By allowing the first mission to succeed, in order to allay suspicion, s/he can now sabotage this one.
