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.

Also molly, you're simply wonderful, more ham please. :D

Oooh la la. I love it. I have the POW-AH! *hip thrust*

Strong leaders, eh? How about we stir things up- shake the proverbial sticks as it were. I deem two people worthy of these 'strong leader' shenanigans. One, will be Special_K.

The other, our illustrious and proven Resistance hero, Jason Arends.

Molly has decided to give "STRONG LEADER" to Special_K and Jason Arends.
Nicnic and Cekuray still have "NO CONFIDENCE" they can play after a vote.

So, Molly, the question is:
Who will you choose to be on the team for this mission?

Jun-5-2012 16:42

Oh, this certainly is illuminating.

Very well.

I shall have:
-Special K
-Illicit
-Marc Lacrimosa
-Nicnic

CLARIFICATION ON "STRONG LEADER":
When this ability is used, leadership moves to the person who used it. The leader to follow them will be the person who follows them on the player order list. In other words, "STRONG LEADER" moves the leader "icon" on the player order list.

For instance, if Special_K used it now (which she can't since Molly has already assigned abilites as leader), she would be the current leader. After her, M. Lacrimosa would become leader, and so on and so forth.

Just wanted to make sure that was clear for everyone now that the ability is in play.

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

(Mission 3, Team 1)
Special_K
Illicit
M. Lacrimosa
Nicnic

Feel free to discuss this proposal on the board, but your vote must be submitted via PM to me. Your PM should state Mission 3, 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.

No need to discuss that one. LMAO.

So I take it that Molly is now our second confirmed spy? Besides Special K.

Leaning strongly towards Marc being the third.

Jun-5-2012 17:14

Nic: we vote no, yes?

Jun-5-2012 17:16

Definitely vote No. lol.

Jun-5-2012 17:21

Hasty, hasty, Nic. ;)
