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)

Jason never would have voted to sabotage knowing he was the only person on the team, and the mission would succeed anyways. He might be confused, but he's not an idiot.

Molly, Illicit and Jason are the spies. I don't know how many other ways I can convince you guys, so I'll just wait and be proven right at the end.

Special K, knowing that you are the no. 1 spy in this game :), and having you accusing now Jason and Molly of being spies, that means you cover for Marc. Marc was forced to vote success last mission to cover himself, as he saw already two success votes here on the board. I keep Keep a close eye on you ability for myself, as it is useless anyway and give the No Confidence ability to Danny Mack.
Now, for choosing the mission members, considering that is the last and must be composed only of Resistance members in order to win, I am asking you fellow Resistance members (nicnic, Jason, Danny), who do you think will be the right choice? Molly or Marc? I consider that this mission will be accepted with 5-3 votes if the right name is in it. So, guys, Marc is a spy, besides Illicit and Special K? Special K covered for him the entire game. Any opinions?

Just to clearly re-state the abilities that are potentially in play in this round:
Nicnic, Cekuray, and Danny Mack all have "NO CONFIDENCE" and can reject a mission team that has been voted through.
Cekuray technically has "KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON YOU", but again this ability is meaningless in the final mission. From here on out, I'll simply assume the ability does not exist for brevity's sake.

I love when you use medium sized words like brevity ;)

I don't know where in this game I managed to turn everyone against me but so be it ;) clearly I'm not going on the last mission, but can I propose what I would do for the last team?

Me
M.
Nic
Cek
Danny

Just my thoughts but we all know who I think the spies are so with only 8 players, there's only five to go.

Good luck cekuray! Hope you pick the right team and know that if Jason is on it, the resistance WILL lose.

Lol since when was I FORCED to vote success??

Jun-11-2012 06:10

Okay i forget but didnt we have a sucsessful team with nic, cek, me and ah crap i forget who else, but biggie IS a spy. So keep her off the team whatever you choose they only need 1 sabotage to win.

Marc, you are forced to vote success in two situations for mission 4: if you are resistance you are forced to vote success and if you are a spy and don't want to be discovered, being the only possible sabotage vote for this mission, you are forced to vote success in order to stand any chance in the last mission. So, these are the situations when you are FORCED to vote success. :D

Jun-11-2012 06:54

My explanation takes into account your will for winning this game. Only in this condition you are forced to vote success.

Jun-11-2012 07:30

If I was a spy I would have voted sabotage

Jun-11-2012 08:00

And if I did vote sabotage, you'd have never known until the end anyway. Either way, great theory dude
