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)

2 observations:
- resistance operatives should vote NO for the missions where there are spies. We are not forced to vote YES for each mission. We should have at least 5 votes of No for this mission.
- Molly started hamming. :D

Hi, have we met? I'm Molly.

Hamming is what I do. To deny you of this, why, its a grievous offense of pure civic duty. :P

Hi Molly! Enchante! :D
I hope you will hold no grudge on me if I tell you are a spy. In fact, even before this game started I was joking that Maltese has spying resonance. :D It was a joke then.. is coming true now. :) Let's wait and see! Good luck to you!

Cekuray, darling, I admire your poetry but really, I do think you're counting your chickens well before they hatch.

No Molly... it's just that I've never known Special K to be quiet, confused or otherwise ;-) Which made it all weird. I kept asking myself why Special K hadn't posted anything. And then lo and behold she goes on a mission and it fails and only THEN does she post, because she pretty much had to at that point.


HA you've never known me to be that confused before.

I am getting a very strong feeling that you all think I'm a spy (because you keep saying that). I am NOT a spy. Illicit and Jason have you right where they want you, believing they are resistance.

I'm voting no on this mission because after letting the Resistance win the last round, there's no way that Illicit can NOT sabotage this mission. I'm pretty sure nic and cekuray are Resistance, and when Illicit sabotages, she'll make it look like it was me, which it won't be.

Viva la Resistance!

Scapegoating!
Trickery abounds!
Who do you trust?

You see why I distributed such gifts among these opposing forces? It simply is too delicious.

The votes are in, and the mission proposal was REJECTED 6-2.
Here's the voting record:
Special_K: NO
M. Lacrimosa: YES
Jason Arends: YES
Molly Maltese: NO
Illicit: NO
Cekuray: NO
Danny Mack: NO
Nicnic: NO

So, this means that leadership will move down the line to Illicit, unless Special_K or Jason Arends decide to use "STRONG LEADER" now.
So Special_K, Jason, will either of you use your ability?
If you both choose not to, then it will fall on Illicit to propose a new team for this mission.

Please post your decisions here.

*swirls hammy furs hammily*

You see my darlings, the most illuminating result. I am not here to beg and plead for you to believe I am Resistance. Whether you or do not, on your own head be it. :) I am simply striving to show you that not all may be as it seems, and patience and craftiness are the only thing to settle this curious debate of allegiance.

Molly... no. I don't see why you distributed "gifts" to the enemy if you are Resistance. We know for a fact that you gave at least one spy a special power. At least one of Special K and Jason is a spy, because one of those two voted FAIL on the first mission. The point of the game isn't to sit here at the end and guess who the spies are. We have to win three missions. And giving powers to spies is not going to facilitate that happening, because now one of them can steal leadership away from a Resistance member and propose their own team at a potentially critical mission proposal. So no. I don't see why you would do that unless you are a spy. :-)
