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.

THANK YOU! I've been trying to tell you people this all week :)

And Cek, to quote you: Special K also seemed suspicious with some of her threads, in one of them admitting she is a spy and admitting she knows the other two names

WHEN in god's name did I admit to being a spy? That's the second time you've mentioned that and it never happened. I only said that I knew for sure who two of the spies are (Jason for bombing the first mission, and Illicit for lying about his allegiance) and at that time, I only suspected a third person (who was Molly based on her spotlight card only, it wasn't until later that I was sure when she started defending Jason and (tacitly) Illicit, and when she gave Jason the Strong Leader card).

I really hope you all vote to put my proposed team through, because its the only way Resistance will win. Trust me, I'm a doctor!

Nic i read all of that, whats my prize?!! *hopes its a chaco taco*

If biggie gets through on this, im telling you, you'll be sorry.

Jun-12-2012 12:56

Jason, then why did you vote Yes to Mission 3 that had Special K on it when you supposedly know she is a spy? Why would you do that?

Jun-12-2012 13:00

I dont know! Why did you! Wait dont answer that, i can't handle another three pages of an answer!

OMG. I just had another revelation.

One thing that was bothering me was that if Illicit and Jason were both spies, why would Illicit ask to see Jason's identity knowing how dangerous that was because if she lied and said he was Resistance, then we figured out Jason, Illicit would be busted too. What if Illicit HAD to choose a spy because she is nestled in between both Jason and Molly. And if all three of them are spies, she had no choice.

OK. Back to cooking.

And all these theories assuming that nobody is talking privately with nobody. But what if? Especially the three little piggies... :D
nicnic, Hercule Poirot is a small baby comparing to you. :)))

Well Cekuray, all the players were asked to keep all game discussion in this thread, and not to PM about anything. I'm operating under the assumption that everyone is adhering to that, but obviously its not exactly enforceable. We are on the honor code here but I don't think we've really had it happen thankfully.

Jun-12-2012 14:36

I doubt anyone is cheating, other than some trash talking in chat haha

I don't know why I get the feeling that Illicit, Jason and Molly should wipe that ''Busted'' sign over their faces... :)) Hardly saying anything our dearest Molly.
In fact, I realize now that Jason and Molly were playing from the beginning this game together, him asking for her hamming here on the board and Molly playing along saying a lot of non-concludent things (her supposedly being a resistance operative). Also, I don't remember Jason openly accusing Illicit of being a spy. Maybe I am mistaken. Molly started to be ''helpful'' just after I wrote here that she should at least act as a resistance if she pretends to be one. :)
Special K, I promise I will look in this thread the passage I am reffering to, about you admitting to be a spy, but, in case I am mistaken, I apologise. :)
If you are resistance, your effort of playing this game right, to the end of it, even if all took you as a spy from the beginning, is appreciated. If nicnic's theory is right, you helped a lot in this game.

Jason, you just keep saying that we should not put biggie in the mission cause it will fail. What about the other 2 names? If you are resistance, you should add 2 more names here. You just have this fixation with biggie. :) Doesn't seem wrong to you?
