I recently found an awesome party/social game called "The Resistance" that my friends and I love to play. The premise is very similar to games like "mafia" and "werewolf"; you have a group of players, in which some of them are working against the group and have knowledge the others don't.

In "The Resistance", you are basically members of an underground organization known as "The Resistance" attempting to destroy the establishment. However, among you there are counter-agents, or "Imperial Spies" who are working to sabotage your efforts. The spies know who they are, as well as who else is a spy, but will for all intents and purposes appear to be working toward the goals of the Resistance.

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.

(Gameplay in next post)

Nic, we have more chance of winning that AV thing than me figuring out what I am supposed to do :D

ROUND 1

In this round, here is the mission information:
M. Lacrimosa is the leader. He is about to receive two abilities that he must distribute to players in the game (including himself if he chooses) before the mission can begin.

Those abilities are:
"OVERHEARD CONVERSATION": Whoever receives this will immediately learn the allegiance of the player above or below them on the list. They will choose the player, and I will PM them that player's allegiance.
"IN THE SPOTLIGHT": Whoever receives this can, before a mission's results are revealed, find out what a mission team member's action was for that mission (whether they chose "success" or "sabotage"). This can be used for any mission in the game.

M. Lacrimosa, the choice is yours; who will receive these abilities?

THE FIRST MISSION:
The resistance has learned of a weapons supply cache located on the outskirts of Imperial territory. Intelligence suggests this cache is destined for use against Resistance cells, and it must be destroyed before the Imperials can utilize them.
This mission will require 3 team members to go.

M. Lacrimosa, once the abilities have been passed out, you may propose the mission team. You may put yourself on the team if you so desire.
I await your decision as to who will receive these abilities. Pleas post your decision here.

It doesn't look like we need to do anything yet, Leddie :-) Marc has to do it.

Marc... PICK ME!!! I want one of those cards :-)

(made a slight error on "IN THE SPOTLIGHT"; here's the updated accurate information.)

"OVERHEARD CONVERSATION": Whoever receives this will immediately learn the allegiance of the player above or below them on the list. They will choose the player, and I will PM them that player's allegiance.
"IN THE SPOTLIGHT": Whoever receives this can force a mission team member to post his or her action ("Success" or "Sabotage") publicly, rather than via PM. This can be used one time, on any player, for any mission in the game.

Interesting thing with these missions... More interesting thing the abilities. You have to play them really carefully. :)

By the way, the mission description is purely foflavor. It has no bearing on the actual mechanics of the game.

I give the ability Overhear conversations to Illicit.

And IN THE SPOTLIGHT I give that to Danny Mack.

The Mission team will consist of Molly Matlese, Jason Arends, and Special_K

Illicit, would you like to know the allegiance of Molly Maltese or Jason Arends? Post your decision and I will PM you the answer.
Afterwards, I will let the players know that it's time to vote on the proposed mission team. Feel free to discuss the proposal here before voting.
