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.

Justin, The no confidence card is sort of like a coup. If Marc had played it, this mission, both team and leader would have been scrubbed and play would advance to Ms Helen. She would then propose a team for the same mission.

Joseph, I would think that considering I began calling people "dirty spy" BEFORE THE GAME HAD EVEN STARTED you all would know it was just me joking around. My first post about someone being a spy was made on Jul-12-2016 05:06. We didn't even have a final head count yet. The first mission wasn't posted until Jul-14-2016 08:55. Part of this game (at least judging by reading the first few rounds) is trash talking. Obviously it's not required, but it's played a big role in previous games. Hell, I got the idea from the first round.

I'm sorry if you disapprove of my playing style or think it is suspicious. But it is *my* playing style. I can sit here and not say a word. I could write pages and pages of notes and observations. I could make spreadsheets to figure out who the spies are. Or I can go around and call people dirty spy when, not only do I not have enough information to base that joking "accusation" on, but the roles of the spies haven't even been assigned yet.

If you haven't read the first couple games I suggest you do so. It might give you a better idea of what to expect during this game.

I am a trash talker. Justin and I had gone over to some friends' house to play some card games. This is a couple who know me. But when I went to the bathroom, they asked Justin if I was being serious. They didn't know until that night how competitive I can be.

So Joseph all I can say is this. Hold onto your hat and your sense of humour because throughout the course of this game, there's no telling what might come out of my mouth.

Brace yourselves.
Autumn is coming.

By the way, although I want to play, I agree with Joseph's recommendation that none of us three be put on the next team. I meant to add that to my previous two posts, but I'm using Lilith's sister (the tablet) insteadw of Lilith and was too frustrated by her to remember to put it in there. Ms. Helen I recommend you avoid having Joseph, Marc, or myself on your team.

OK I think I agree we should have all new people and see what happens so I'm thinking myself, Devilish Wings and Keira Ann because we haven't heard much from either of you so it would be great to see where you stand :) and I'm going to say Yeti Face because he seems to actually have a clue as to what's going on haha.

I'll give Keira Ann the OPEN UP card
I'll give Yeti the NO CONFIDENCE card
And I'll keep KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON YOU card.

Have I done that right?

Keira Ann, could you reveal your allegiance to me please? As one of only two people who voted down a mission with a spy on it I'm eager to put together some true resistors.

Yeti, I don't think that's how no confidence works. I could be wrong though. Announcer could we please get some clarification?

Sorry, I meant I don't think that's how the open up card works.

-OPEN UP: The receiver will have their allegiance revealed to a player of their choosing. Must be used immediately.

I think this wording sounds like Kiera Ann gets to choose who to reveal her allegiance to. And I believe it's done by PM from The Announcer to the chosen person. It's not done over the board to the first person who asks.

Yes Autumn, that's right. I want Keira Ann to reveal her allegiance to me by telling The Announcer that's how she'll be using her power.

This goes to show that Autumn and Zeo cannot be trusted. I now have a reason to play my no confidence card

I gotcha. I haven't been getting much sleep lately and to my sleep-deprived brain, the "suggestion" seemed more like a command or something. Thank you for the translation. :)
