It is rumored that the ornate palace gates of Shangri-La have finally been opened to the public for the first time in known history. The Prince is making his debut into the public eye with a brilliant gala hosted by the Prince himself: an exclusive invitation-only event attended only by the most prominent and affluent people from countries all over the world.

Some commoners have been invited to this rare event--but not as guests. The Prince's most trusted advisor has particularly collected special operatives to patrol the event: the world's brightest, swiftest, and most skilled. You will be entrusted with making sure that everything goes off without a hitch. But there are those who would rather see the event go down in flames, along with the Prince himself.

Five minutes before the event is scheduled to start, a report of a most alarming nature reaches the operatives' ears. There has been a breach in the ranks. Some spies have infiltrated the group! But since they have never seen each other's faces, there is no way to tell whose allegiance is true. The team has been compromised, but there is still a chance to save the evening.

The operatives' job this evening is to make sure the Prince's gala goes off without a hitch. If he is pleased at the end of the night, they will be rewarded handsomely. Sources say he is forgiving of small mishaps, but when pushed too far...

The Prince's reputation is at stake. Will his gala be a phenomenal success, or will it succumb to the sabotage of the spies? Stay tuned to find out in this installment of The Resistance.

I looked at some other options on how to to deploy those powers. If I did it the same way I did it last game, I risk getting into another situation where half the players have nothing to go on but my word. If I give it to you or Biggie, you're the 9th/ 10th person on the list, and have the least likely chances at leadership coming up; seems a little wasted. Giving it to my wife? Yeah, there won't be any speculation there ...

I kept NO CONFIDENCE because it was the most surefire way that it wouldn't fall into spy hands. I gave Andi ESTABLISH CONFIDENCE because I was between her and Andrew, and it came down to who I knew better. And giving OVERHEARD CONVERSATION to Vulkie was a matter of picking a new player somewhere in the middle of the pack, to suss out how Vulkie would respond about revealing an allegiance.

In any event, I'm still waiting for Andi to clear my good name. If she doesn't, then at least I know one of the spies.

However, we'll take me and Andi out of the equation for this mission proposal, since the Resistance "usually" wins mission 1 anyway. I'll propose a team of:

Molly Maltese (next leader to propose)
Vulkie3
Adam Carter

Reason being, if Vulkie was lying about Adam, then they're both spies and in an awkward position in this mission.

Once Andi clears me, mission 2 will be that much better off.

Me? A spy? ME?! How ridiculous! Why should I lie about Adam? He's one of the best there's around!

Just looked back at the mission order, and it turns out the next 3 leaders are on this mission. Some factfinding is about to happen here.

Mission 1, Team 1

Team Leader: Serges
Team Proposal: Molly Maltese, Vulkie3, Adam Carter

It is now time for the rest of the team to vote to either approve or reject this mission proposal. You may wait to vote until Andiyana decides whether or not to reveal the allegiance of Serges to the rest of the team in this thread.

When you do vote, please send me a PM stating "Mission 1, Team 1: YES or NO."

Feel free to discuss.

My feeling is the first round should be fact finding. I am intrigued to figure out who is who and see how this all works on the board since I normally like to read people by their faces. :-}

If Vulkie is to be believed that would mean him and Adam are resistance, then if Serges is telling the truth that would mean he would make 3, then adding in myself means I would possibly know 4 of the 6, but is it really ever that easy?!

*And yes I know everyone can say they are resistance and then of course only you yourself can believe anything that is said because only you, yourself know what you truly are and everything else could be a total rouse...a very long sentence to say I totally understand if you don't believe what I say ;-)

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't Kagome - we shall see and figure out this cat and mouse / cloak and dagger game. But maybe, the truth lies before your eyes and you can't just see it (yet)

I'm voting no, to see the voting patterns of the first mission. Again, just for fact finding purposes. I don't believe or disbelieve anyone at this point.

I'm going to wait until Andi has posted what she knows of Serges allegiance before I make a choice. That being said, I'm not comfortable being on the team with the person who has vouched for me and an unknown. At this point, all we know is, either I am resistance, or me and vulkie are BOTH spies. Vulkie could still be a spy and hopes to gain trust by confirming me. If this team goes through and is sabotaged, I will almost certainly be to blame for it. So actually, I'm saying no.

I think Nic and I are going head-to-head on who is going to take more notes and more graphing on this- I have a desktop word document for this game- Resistance isn't losing on my watch!

However I want to hang on until Andi tells us what shes uncovered to make a decision on the mission. Either this is a mission full of Resistance or Serges and Vulkie are fooling us.
