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)

Here's where I stand:

RESISTANCE:
Me, Illict and Jason.

MAYBE RESISTANCE:
Nic, Molly, Cek, M.Lac

SPIES:
Biggie.

2 out of the Maybe *ARE* spies.
I don't know if Nic and Cek are playing a very clever game. And Nic, I know you are not only beautiful but clever, which is why I can't be sure you're not a spy. If you are a spy, you are playing this game perfectly. I am so unsure.

Molly, I don't think is spy. Yes, I know the spotlight card forced her to play success but I think as a clever write she'd be posting more if she were a spy trying to convince us she were resistance.

M.Lac I only thought a spy last time because he was the only one left.
Now I am not sure what to think.

Cek, could be... he is playing a nice, supportive role with Nic...is this because they are both spies or because he can manipulate things that way by pretending to side with the resistance.

Danny.... why do you think Illicit is definitely Resistance? Just because she said Jason was Resistance, does not mean that she is too. She could still be a spy and there really is nothing one way or another on her to tell us anything at this point.

Also.... riddle me this... If Cek and I were spies, why were we the only two to vote NO for the first mission that obviously had a spy on it because it failed? That makes no sense lol.

I must admit I would try to play this type of game if I were a spy, but considering this is my first time playing I highly doubt I could be that clever to post everything I am now faking being Resistance. I really just want to win so I am trying to let other Resistance members know what is in my head. Maybe after 3 or 4 times playing I could pull off a perfect game of deception ;-) Not sure about now though.

MISSION 2
The votes are in, and the team of Nicnic, Cekuray, Jason Arends and Illicit has been APPROVED by a vote of 5-3.
Yes votes:
Jason Arends, Nicnic, Cekuray, M. Lacrimosa, Molly Maltese
NO votes:
Special_K, Illicit, Danny Mack

Nicnic and Cekuray, you each have "NO CONFIDENCE". Would either of you like to use it now, to force this vote to fail? Please respond in this thread, either "Yes" or "No".

Once Nicnic and/or Cekuray has made a choice, we can move on, either to the mission or to a new leader. Stay tuned.

Also I think you are right about Molly. If Molly were a spy I'm sure her inner Mata Hari would come out and she'd be hamming it up on the boards lol. Good observation.

Seriously... that vote is a contradiction of itself. I have a feeling a couple of people may just vote yes to everything? That vote makes no sense.

The only way that vote makes sense is............................. if both Jason and Illicit are actually spies. That's the only way it makes sense. Illicit doesn't want to be outed so she voted no. But the two other spies voted yes. Assuming Danny isn't a spy and really was doing what she thought she should.

Screw it. I'm going to let the mission go. You wanna know why? If Illicit and Jason are spies, and they vote to sabotage the mission, we will know for sure Illicit is a spy and both Cek and I have those cards so we can veto any mission later on that they are put on if it gets approved.

I'm going to leave it and let it ride.

ETA: Cek I think you should too. Our cards are probably more valuable later on.

Hmm, yes. I guess you are right about Illict, she could be a spy and then tell the truth about Jay but wouldn't it upset things more if she lied and said he was a spy?

So, I think they both are. I will take you at face value and I will keep Molly as resistance.

So:

RESISTANCE:

Me, Jason, Illict, Molly and you

which leaves

SPIES:

Biggie/Special K, M Lac and Cek.

Or swap Illict for M Lac. since he felt so strongly about being called a spy. Or was that because he is playing the game?

Right, who did you pick for your team again?

Why am I so into this game? lol.

OK Special K had to vote No. If she voted yes that would have been assinine because she supposedly "knows" that Jason is a spy.

Danny voted no because well, she said I told her to :-P Or if she was a spy, she voted No because she knows that all 4 people on that mission are Resistance.

Illicit voted no because????? 1. She doesn't want to be outed or 2. She doesn't trust Cek or me. She knows for a fact the identity of herself and Jason. So if she is Resistance, and she voted it down, it's because she is leery of either Cek or myself.

But if Illicit is Resistance and knows Jason is Resistance, I'm fairly comfortable that the mission is all Resistance. So that means at least one spy voted Yes to the mission knowing that there were 4 Resistance people on it. Which makes no sense.

Or am I putting too much trust in Cek? Is he really a spy and just playing a really good game? Assuming he's never played before though, I find it hard to believe.

I'm pretty sure Illicit is a spy. I'm also pretty sure she has to pass this mission even though she's a spy because if it fails, it makes it pretty clear that she is one.

Or is my base assumption about Cek all wrong?

*head spins*

OK I'm done. I promise.
