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.

Illicit could be lying and you both could be spies....

But I have a theory I am working on. Will say more after this mission goes.

Nic....why do you hate me?

Jun-3-2012 22:01

I don't hate anyone. I'm just on the look out for SPIES.

Nic I am hurt that you doubt my veracity. Serges will tell you I make a lousy spy. Also, I apologize if my lag in response time is to blame. I had made the choice last night at Serges house because I didn't want to be responsible for holding up the game. However, I was logged in on his phone and didn't do anything other than look and make my choice. I was gone most of today and totally forgot to post. Like I said this is the first game I have played on message board so not used to the mechanics. I feel shame.

I doubt everyone right now..... muahahaha. And you do have a little Mata Hari in you.

Like I said... I have a theory (which may or may not involve you) that I will post after leddie posts her decision and this mission goes. Then I will share it with everyone so the rest of the Resistance can see it. :-)

OK. I really need sleep.

A lot of noise in the room... one voice over all - nicnic. Trying to cover something nic? :D I believe Illicit in saying that Jason is one of the Resistance operatives. I want to ask Serges if that is ok, Illicit telling that Jason is Resistance. And also, if she's allowed to lie about this or she is forced to tell the truth.

CLARIFICATION ON RULES:

The ability Illicit used allowed her to know the allegiance of Jason Arends privately. The information I provided to her was done via PM, and all such similar divulgences by me will come via PM.

That being said, Illicit (along with everyone else) is allowed to publicly say anything they'd like about the game, including divulging privately received information from me.

HOWEVER, they are not compelled to by any means. Nor, as Cekuray suggest, is anyone required to be truthful when discussing things publicly. As the game master, information from me will ALWAYS be truthful; but, remember that this game is at its core about discerning fact from fiction.

Having played this game in person many times I have often found that the loudest are those trying to turn eyes away from themselves. At any rate time will tell and it is far too early in the game to know anything for sure.

If I wasn't making any noise, this thread would be blank :-P
