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)

Special K admited she is a spy and she knows the identity of the other 2.

Cekuray, I've never admitted to being a spy. In fact, I've been ADAMANT that I'm not the spy/.

"Molly, you've just solidified your status as the third spy. Everything you said in that post makes total sense. Too much sense, as a matter of fact. Unless you KNOW for sure who the spies are (Jason and Illicit). And the only way you know that is if you're the third."

I don't get it.

Ok to further clarify:
Right off the bat, it was me, molly and Jason in the first group. Molly had the spotlight card so had to publicly post her action. So, if shes a spy, she cant sabotage without all of us knowing and so she had to succeed. I succeeded (yes, you will, for the sake of argument here, assume I'm telling the truth). This means Jason sabotaged because hes a spy.

Illicit then said he was resistance, so shes also a spy, which is further proven by the last mission where one of the two them clearly sabotaged. By logic alone, one or both HAS to be a spy.

Now Molly just posted her theories, which COMPLETELY clear out Jason and Ilicit from any suspicion, but throw all the blame on me, Marc (who, like the rest of us, didnt know how the game was played at first) and the others who you even pointed out in your post cant be

I know her, Molly is a smart girl. Theres no way she doesnt figure that out on her own so hence, shes the third.

BOOM!

Uhhhh, dear. I didn't clear Illicit of suspicion, she was in my post of theories.

"Please submit your votes on this proposal via PM. The proposal is:
Mission 3, team 3 (proposed by Jason Arends)
Nicnic
Cekuray
Jason Arends
Illicit "

That was a life-fail, right there.

Well it is a compelling argument. We've all been quick to say Jason was Resistance. But here's why:

We know if Jason is a spy, so is Illicit.

So when the mission went the first time with Me, Cek, Jason and Illicit and PASSED, personally, to me, it makes it highly unlikely that they are both spies. Wouldn't at least one of them have sabotaged the mission considering the spies were already up 1-0? That would have put us in the hole 2-0 and it would be very difficult to get out of that.

But that logic is a little faulty because there obviously was a spy amongst Jason and Illicit, and they failed the second one with the same group. BUT only ONE of them failed it. If they weren't talking in PMs or outside the game, what are the chances of that? Wouldn't at that point both of them vote FAIL?

Unless Illicit is really cunning and assumed Jason would fail it, so she passed it so as not to out both of them.

Either way, I think it's pretty obvious Illicit is a spy. Unless I am being waaaaaaaayyyyyyy naive about Cek.

But you are bringing Jason into question. And it is not outside the realm of possibility that Jason is a spy too. His voting behaviour has been weird. And his initial reaction to Special K after the failed mission was weird.

But I just attributed that all to Jason being a little weird in general ;-)

I will think about it and review what has happened so far.

Can anyone think of why both jason and illicit both passed the first mission and then only one of them failed the second one if they are both in fact spies?

On another note, I'm fairly certain Cek is NOT a spy considering he could have easily voted FAIL on the second mission and most of us would have blamed Jason or Illicit.

Illicit knows how to play the game, so would know to cover her (admittedly fine) ass ;)

Jason doesn't know how to play the game. And per your previous post, is weird. So he probably just picked one and went with it.
