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.

Molly, I said to use the same team because it passed last time. Which in my mind gave us a better chance of winning than picking a random team. And I've already explained over and over why I am confident that Jason is not a spy. And I trust Cek because he was the only one with me on the first mission to vote it down... and it failed because there was a spy on it.

I think Illicit is a spy. I think it's highly unlikely that Cek or Jason is a spy. And since we only had one fail I think it has to be Illicit. And some of her voting patterns have been strange and she has played this game a lot of times so we can't write it off to newbie confusion.

So now at least in my mind, Special K, Illicit and someone else is a spy.

So it has to be one of Marc, Molly, or Danny Mack.

Both Marc and Molly made bizarre decisions when they were leaders. I'm leaning towards Marc. Danny Mack is up next for a mission proposal. We'll see who she gives special powers to.

And for a mission this time, the spies have to have TWO Sabotage votes to fail it. So if we can get a team with four Resistance members on it, we will win.

Three of them in my mind are me, Cek, and Jason.

Why would fingers be pointed at me? LOL. What have I done that is suspicious? You mean like trying to convince everyone to vote down the first mission - which actually failed? And if I'm the spy, that means Special K is a spy because Jason and Illict are clean. And I have consistently tried to get people to vote AGAINST missions Special K is on.

Being suspicious of me makes about as much sense as anything else that has happened thus far. :-P

Also, I think the last spy has to be one of Marc or Danny because Special K said she thought they were Resistance and she knows who the spies are. I think Molly may be doing strange things because she doesn't like to play linear or something.

Hm. You may be right, I guess you would only pick that team again if you knew something that we didn't and since that is both a.) a huge gamble and b. ) very unlikely due to no information sharing outside the game, its inconclusive.

BAH! Haha.

I picked the team again because it passed the first time it went. And actually I didn't pick it, Jason did. LOL

Well, right, but you know what I mean. Endorsement and all. *hand wave*

Quick question before I post mission 4 details...

Does anyone care about the "flavor" text I've been writing (the mission "details", as it were)? If not, I can just skip that and get right to the heart of the mission information... :)

Jun-8-2012 11:33

Oh, like the story of what happened? No, keep that, I love it.

Jun-8-2012 11:37

OK, one "yes" was all I needed... will come up with Mission 4 details shortly :)
