One of the most prominent yet elusive people of Sleuthville, the legendary Big Lucy herself, is hitting a new milestone in life. While none are bold enough to inquire her age, rumors say this is a momentous occasion. The guest list is comprised of the most prominent and affluent people in Sleuthville and beyond.

However, some of Sleuthville's own working class have been invited-- not as guests, but as special operatives to patrol the event. They have been selected for their swiftness, skill, and intelligence. They will be entrusted with making sure that Big Lucy's Birthday Bash goes off without a hitch. But, as always, there are those who would rather see the event go down in flames.

A mere three minutes before the event is scheduled to start, the operatives are informed of an alarming development. There has been a breach within the ranks, and a number of spies have infiltrated the group! Having never seen each others' faces, there is no way to discern 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 Big Lucy's birthday celebration goes off without a hitch. If she is pleased at the end of the night, it is almost guaranteed that they will lead easy lives from thereon out. Whispers say Big Lucy may be more forgiving on her big day, but even she has her limits...

Will Big Lucy's birthday bash be a huge success, or will it succumb to the sabotage of the spies? Stay tuned to find out in this installment of The Resistance.

The mission is now ready to proceed. Joseph, Marc, and Autumn must PM me whether they vote to SUCCEED or whether they vote to SABOTAGE the mission.

Looks like there's a spy on the team. Whether they sabotage the mission or no, we can be confident that one of Joseph Zeo, M. Lacrimose and Autumnsprings is a dirty spy, else we'd expect to see at least three NO votes. Frankly I think the chances are all spies voted YES and Sal is my Resistance brother!

Ooooh Sindy, that sounds scary I hope everyone is ok.

I don't know Yeti, I voted yes because it didn't occur to me that we could learn anything so early on? Isn't it possible others felt the same?

Or have I missed something completely?

Jul-15-2016 11:39

I'm with you Ms. Helen. My sentiments exactly. It didn't occur to me to vote otherwise.

Jul-15-2016 11:42

And Sindy- glad everyone's ok! Scary!

As a Resistance member it's good to get as much information as you can, and erring on the side of NO with votes is one way to do that. However, Spies already have the information they need, and they voted this mission through. If the Spies voted it through, then there is a Spy on it.

I think Marc's decision to not use his no confidence ability is interesting. I would think a spy would want to be leader. Unless he already knows there is a spy leading it. I think it's possible he's a spy. Maybe Joseph is as well. But I don't think we have enough info on him yet.

That being said, as a resistance member, if I were a spy I probably wouldn't have used it either. Maybe wouldn't occur to me. This game challenges and changed the way you think about things.

Yeti, what are your thoughts about Marc's decision?

Jul-15-2016 14:26

Hmm I still think it's possible that people are a bit clueless/learning but fair enough I get what you're saying and it makes sense. I'm clearly not as methodical/logical as you though because that thought didn't even occur to me haha.

Keira, so pleased it's not just me :)

I've just had a bit more recent experience with the game, Ms Helen. Give it another couple of days and you'll start questioning the motives of your loved ones bringing you a cup of tea.

Autumn, as Marc is on the team there's no point him using it either way. Either he's a spy and that's exactly where he wants to be, or he's Resistance and if the mission is sabotaged he knows it's between his two team mates, giving him a lead. In fact the only real reason for him to use it would be if he and you were spies, as one does not want two spies on a team.

Mission 1 Result:

Joseph and his team pushed and swerved their way through the crowd and bolted up the stairs two at a time. Why did it have to be a grand staircase? The chandelier swayed back and forth like a guillotine. It was due to fall any second.

Three-quarters of the way up the staircase, a shiny spot on a step went unnoticed by the team. The next instant there was a yelp and loud clattering noises, accompanied by cursing, as Joseph, Marc, and Autumn found themselves sprawled unbecomingly across the steps.

The audience watched as the chandelier plummeted downwards and landed with a crash squarely atop Big Lucy. Shrieks emerged from the crowd and several people surged forward to help. The shadow of Big Lucy's second-in-command loomed over the team.

Mission 1 consisting of Joseph Zeo, M. Lacrimosa, and Autumnsprings was a FAILURE.

The team members voted as follows:
???? SUCCESS
???? SABOTAGE
???? SUCCESS

Ms Helen, leadership will now pass to you for the next mission.

Reminder of player order:
Joseph Zeo
Ms Helen
M. Lacrimosa
Keira Ann
Sleuth Sindy
DevilishWings
Sal Iva
jroepel
Yeti Face
Autumnsprings
