After a period of absence, THE RESISTANCE has returned to the Sleuth boards with a healthy Yeti-flavoured taste.

For those unfamiliar, The Resistance is a social game of limited information. Players are split into two teams, one team being true members of the resistance, and the other being spies who have infiltrated the group. Over a course of five missions, resistance members aim to have three missions succeed, whereas spies aim to sabotage three of them. The only way for players to communicate with each other will be through this thread.

I'll post a detailed set of rules once the sign up process is over, but to give you an idea of how the game goes the first The Resistance thread on the Sleuth boards is here: http://noir.playsleuth.com/map/cityhall/post.spy?id=34582&first_record=302111

We'll need five to ten players in order to start the game. I'd like to keep this game flowing, so before putting your name down please make sure that to the best of your knowledge you'll be able to log in at least once a day for the next two weeks. You will not receive financial payment for playing THE RESISTANCE.

Sign up today!

Sal Iva has also agreed to play, so we have now reached the minimum of five players. I'm going to hold off starting the game for another day, possibly two, so that anyone else who wants to has the chance to join. We can take a maximum of ten players.

Wow, this sounds really interesting. It sort of reminds me of another kind of forum game called 'Mafia' (or sometimes 'Werewolf') but there are some really intriguing differences! I've read through the instructions and I would like to try playing!

Superb. I've never played Mafia (or Werewolf for that matter!) but I have heard players mention them as well. Glad to have you on board, Mac.

With six players signed up (we can still take four more!), I'll put the definite start time on this as being tomorrow (Saturday), sometime in the late morning in server time terms.

Having uncovered the existence of an ocean liner used as a home and a base of operations by hundreds of villains, known only as UVE Villainic (UVE standing for, of course, United Vessel of Evil) the Resistance was formed. A group of six detectives whose sole task is to track down the UVE Villainic, and bring those villains who call it home to justice. Unfortunately for the detectives the villains (being, of course, truly villainous) have cunning managed to slip two of their own members into the ranks of the detectives with the intention of sabotaging the efforts of The Resistance.

This is the player list, and will determine who the leader is for a team proposal. It starts at the top, and works down, so Soheir Hassan will be selecting the first team.

Soheir Hassan
DevilishWings
Turtledove
Lou Hoyle
Sal Iva
Mac Kerrell

For future reference, this is the number of players required for each mission (of five in total):

Mission 1: 2
Mission 2: 3
Mission 3: 4
Mission 4: 3
Mission 5: 4

If you have not seen them already, the rules are posted towards the bottom of the first page.

Mission One

Severus "Switchblade" Scroggs was not only an alliteratively perfect villain. Severus "Switchblade" Scroggs was also an alliteratively perfect villain with strong ties to the UVE Villainic. Further to this, Severus "Switchblade" Scroggs was an alliteratively perfect villain, with strong ties to the UVE Villainic who the Resistance very much wanted to have words with. Two members of The Resistance must be chosen to chase down Severus "Switchblade" Scroggs.

Soheir Hassan, please propose a team of two members of the Resistance to send on this mission - you may include yourself in your team selection. Everyone will then get to vote on your proposal for whether or not the two you propose will actually be sent. Your power for this round, which you can give to yourself or another, is:

OVERHEARD CONVERSATION: Whoever receives this power to can choose the player above or below them in the player list, and I will PM them with that player's allegiance. Should the player want they can then announce what I've told them to the other players, however they do not need to be truthful.

Alrightie, not much chance I won't mess this up, but here goes, lol. I think I'll work my way down the list.

I propose Devilish Wings and Turtledove for the team. And I would like to assign Overheard Conversation to myself.

Have I messed it up - I've messed it up, haven't I? lol

I think we're good to go with that. Soheir has proposed a team of Devi and Turtledove for the first mission. Everyone please message me privately with your YES/NO votes for whether or not you'd that line up to attempt the mission - including you Soheir. We'll need four YES votes in order for the mission to proceed - and if it does then Devi and Turtledove will then have to message me with their SUCCESS/SABOTAGE votes. If however there are three or more NO votes, Devi will get to put together a team instead.

As for your OVERHEARD CONVERSATION power Soheir, since you've taken it yourself you can use it on either Devi or Mac Kerrel, and I then will message you their allegiance privately.

That's what I'm hoping for, Lou, but tell me, why did your post make me nervous..? :)
