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!

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

I'm going to use my Overheard Conversation power on Devilish Wings. Heheee. :)

I can't think of any reason why my support should make you nervous and you've never seemed the nervous type to me.

I have messaged Soheir with Devi's allegiance as per the OVERHEARD CONVERSATION power.

Sorry Lou, much to the opposite of my pic, I am nervous! That paranoid uneasiness was uncalled for - but at this point anything anyone says will make me feel that way, lol.

...Especially Turtledove. ;)

*rumble grumble* Spies, spies everywhere.

Alright, let me walk through this for a second. Perhaps someone can help me with my logic. The spies know who they are, and the resistance doesn't. Clearly, the resistance knowing each other would be an advantage. Hence, I should tell everyone that Devi's a Resistance member. However, having said that, from the other resistance members' perspectives, there are one of three possibilities. Either I and Devi are both resistance, or I'm a spy and I'm making Devi feel safe by proclaiming her as resistance, or we're both spies and I'm lying about Devi's allegiance.

I fail to see how this power helps anyone! Regardless, Devilish is Resistance. I hope I haven't made myself a target for the spies by declaring it, lol.

That seems like a good lineup to me!
