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.

Very weird choices...

Marc a few questions... why did you not keep one of the cards for yourself and why did you give them to who you did?

And how did you come up with those three for the mission?


Also.... I've been reading up on this game so I am an expert now :-)

Oh and also... why did you not pick yourself to go on a mission? Wouldn't you like to do that so in case it fails you can narrow it down to who may be a spy between 2 rather than 3 people?

The spy-ness is strong with this one. And being a Resistance, I am wary to agree with anything he proposes.

PM has been sent to Illicit with Jason Arend's allegiance.

OK players, now it's time to vote on the proposed mission.
M. Lacrimosa has elected to send a team consisting of:

(Mission 1, Team 1)
Molly Maltese
Jason Arends

Feel free to discuss this proposal on the board, but your vote must be submitted via PM to me. Your PM should state Mission 1, Team 1, and your vote of "Yes" or "No" to the proposed team.

With 8 players, a mission proposal will need 5 "Yes" votes to pass. If 4 or more players vote "No", then the proposal is rejected and a new leader will propose a mission team.

I don't want to have to put a time limit on voting, so please get your votes into me once you've had a chance to consider the proposal and any arguments presented in this thread.

I find this matchup suspect. I also find it suspect that both illicit and Marc wanted to see Jason Arends allegiance as opposed to Molly's.... like they already knew what Molly was and there's only one way that could happen.

So right now I'm leaning towards the spy team being Marc, Illicit, and Molly. In either case I don't trust Marc because there's a reason he didn't want one of those juicy cards for himself and the only reasonable reason is because he already has all the info he needs.

Vote sent.

I agree with nicnic about pointing to jason arends. Also about Marc being a spy. If he was resistance operative he would've choose himself for going in the mission. So, Marc is a spy and for this reason I have doubts as well on this mission. Vote sent as well.

So, I can play the spotlight card for only this turn? Or can I use it in the next mission? Am I allowed to talk with others on whom to use it on? And do I wait until the mission is accepted?

Vote sent.

Danny,
You can use your ability during any mission in the game. You may discuss its use publicly if you like. And yes, I'll prompt you after a mission is approved to choose whether or not to use it.

Jun-3-2012 09:29

I've received votes from 4 of our 8 players so far. After I receive all 8 votes, I will post the voting results and we'll move forward, either running the mission or having a new leader pick a new team.

As a reminder:

M. Lacrimosa has elected to send a team consisting of:

(Mission 1, Team 1)
Molly Maltese
Jason Arends

Feel free to discuss this proposal on the board, but your vote must be submitted via PM to me. Your PM should state Mission 1, Team 1, and your vote of "Yes" or "No" to the proposed team.

Serges, am I allowed to post a link to another one of these games and stuff I read to give everyone an idea on how to play?

Jun-3-2012 11:02

Cannot do any harm posting this link I think. We all want to play this game right and play it properly, so any help would be great I think.
