The Resistance: Return to Paranoia

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.

Huh, looks like Cathy is resistance. Well I can't be right about everything. Devi and Sindy are still spies though.

:| Whatever, Yeti. Cathy, he doesn't have it in him to be a double agent; like I said: whatever, Yeti.
Yeti's picking the next team; if it's got him on it, vote it down. If it has Sindy on it, down. We need to hold on to the NO CONFIDENCE card for teams that are actually sketchy because we need to get every mission right now if we're to have the tiniest chance of seeing this through. He's going to get a bunch of powers, nothing we can do about it. Forget about it. The more I think about it now, the surer I am that DW is Resistance. (She picked that team, she wouldn't put herself with another spy, for NO reason if she was one too). And that either Cathy or jintan is the third spy. I can't say for sure, but as far as suspicions go, yeah. Surprise, surprise, the three of them are up next; so I have a feeling we'll end up having to vote down their teams until we get to DW. DW, since we only need 4 people for the next mission, pick a team of Lou, Autumn, yourself, and me. We HAVE to get this right; I will not vote for any other team. If you (DW) can get propose this team and we all vote it through (to the fifth Resistance member, please help us vote it through; I know it can be hard to trust a team you're not on, but if you have an objectively more convincing argument, I will sit out. We can still win this.), I will get the powers for the fourth round, and we can all hopefully figure out who the fifth Resistance member is. If we make it past the third round, it actually won't matter who we pick, because if it passes, it was all Res and no matter who the fifth person is, there won't be *two* spies on the team. If it fails, there's no fourth round anyway, LOL. This is as solid a plan as we will ever have. The only thing that could influence this is how Yeti distributes his cards. Let's try to stay sane.

I agree with Bela's strategy.
Vote the next 3 down. Yeti has been proven to be a spy, Cathy Rose we're unsure of, and Jintan is too unpredictable.
It's critical now, and I regret putting yeti on my team. I'm sorry guys. :'(

For once, I agree with you, Cathy.
HELLO! Yeti just gave Devi another NO CONFIDENCE CARD. Three failed teams and Devi can use those two NO CONFIDENCE CARDS and the game is over. And this team is obviously going to fail - so that only leaves two more tries.
DO YOU REALLY THINK HE WAS TRYING TO HELP OUT THE RESISTANCE?
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!
