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.

What the HELL is going on with these votes??

Jul-12-2012 19:49

Or Molly... because we know that Serges wouldn't put two spies on the same team, perhaps he threw a hypothetical out there with two spies on it knowing that we would know he would never put two spies on one team?

Jul-12-2012 19:50

Molly. I think you may want to use your Strong Leader card here.

Jul-12-2012 19:52

I think what is happening with the votes is the spies are glomming onto what others are saying and just voting with what they think will be the majority. That's what I think.

Molly if you use your strong leader. Adam and Vulkie are up after you so worst case scenario is we put through one of the two previous proposed missions which in my mind is better than anything else that could be put out there.

Jul-12-2012 19:54

Thats what I was thinking. However, even if I used my Strong Leader card here, I don't realistically think any of the combinations I'd go for to try to make some headway would stand a lasting chance, and we've only got two proposals left to make before spies win by default! I'm afraid to use it just for it to be voted down.

*checks blood pressure*

When we get to mission 5, the Resistance HAS TO vote Yes on the mission or we lose the game. If you use Strong Leader, and you get rejected and so does Adam, Vulkie will be fifth and I'm assuming proposing the same mission that just got rejected.

Jul-12-2012 19:59

Alright. I think I'll play it. I'm leaning towards making Jason Arends the fourth, but I'm okay with Vulkie as well. Either way the fourth will be checked. Preference?

Jul-12-2012 20:00

*I meant proposal 5

Jul-12-2012 20:00

Jason. Same team Adam proposed that got poop canned by Serges.

Jul-12-2012 20:01

Aye aye.

Alright, Riza-kins, I'm playing STRONG LEADER here, and proposing:

Adam Carter, nicnic, Jason Arends and myself.
