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 results of the vote on Ms Helen's MISSION 2 Proposal are in.

Ms Helen proposed a team of:
-Ms Helen
-DevilishWings
-Keira Ann
-Yeti Face

This mission proposal has been REJECTED by a vote of 6-4. The votes are as follows:

Joseph Zeo NO
Ms Helen YES
M. Lacrimosa NO
Keira Ann NO
Sleuth Sindy YES
DevilishWings YES
Sal Iva YES
jroepel NO
Yeti Face NO
Autumnsprings NO

Leadership will now move to M. Lacrimosa, and he must propose a team. However, if Joseph wants to use his STRONG LEADER ability, he must do so before Marc's proposal.

Yes, I would like to use my Stong Leader card now.

So, that vote is out of the way. Time to tell you all what I really think. Joseph Zeo and Ms Helen are our first two spies.

Usually what the first player does (in this case Joseph) is look at the list, and pick the players immediately below them. It makes sense, those players are coming up next so you want to get an early grasp on them. I think that's what Joseph did, picking a team of Ms Helen and Marc. He then realised that wouldn't gel, as he wouldn't want to be on a team with a fellow spy. So he substituted Ms Helen for Autumn (the player above him rather than below him). He then failed the mission, knowing that his fellow spy could compose a new team and sabotage that one.

I've been suspicious of Ms Helen from the moment that first mission failed. She above all others has acted too ditzy, too "new". It's an act, and it stinks worse than marmite on the breath. The final nail in her coffin as far as I was concerned was when she gave her OPEN UP power to Keira instead of keeping it herself. As a Resistance member you want people to know who you are, as a Spy you do not. So, being a spy, she gave it away.

Marc, I ask you don't put yourself on your team. You're too divisive right now. Instead pick a team of me, Keira, Devi and Autumn. Let's nail this mission down, and go from there.

Joseph, if you fancy running with my Yeti-Keira-Devi-Autumn team, be my guest. Somehow though, I don't think you will.

Joseph has chosen to use his STRONG LEADER ability. Joseph, please propose a team of 4 people.

My best bet for the final two spies are Sal Iva and Sleuth Sindy, being the two from the remaining pool of three who voted YES to that mission.

So Resistance:
Marc, Keira, Devi, jroepel, Autumn, Yeti

And Spies:
Joseph, Ms Helen, Sal, Sindy

Job done.

Holy hell Yeti. You've figured it out I also didn't buy Ms Helen's ditz act. She's played before. And one thing to remember is this quote from her last post.

° The only thing I can really add is did I read right that if we knock back so many teams the spies automatically win? If so we should be baring this in mind.

Helen has played before. She KNOWS the spies win if 5 teams in a row are voted down. She's trying to push her team through so she can sabotage it and get the spies up to 2 - 0.


I admit I thought Yeti was a spy. But I know without a doubt Helen is. Yeti's analysis makes sense. Yeti, you and I have had our differences of opinion. Resistance members, take note. I am standing with Yeti. If you want the resistance to win, I beg of you, follow Yeti's plan.

What would we do without Big Lucy? We cannot let the spies win.

Yeti. Dang sir! If you are right, I feel like a country bumpkin watching Sherlock Holmes solve a mystery. I know that I am resistance. I am pretty stumped on everything else. I had been suspecting Marc, you, and Keira. But I must admit that you are making sense. This game is at the next level. Did you go to the fortune teller or something? Haha.

And now Autumn is joining Yeti's side. I am not quite sure what to think.

As soon as I saw that the votes were in, I used my strong leader card as planned before Marc can form a team. I thought we have agreed on this more or less together. I then come back (after I'm done with RL obligations) to read back and see Autumn has her doubts, and wonder if we should let Marc play his team out first, because I still have no idea if Autumn is Resistance or not. She just sounded so genuine in the beginning, PM me too although it was not allowed, and I really thought at that time that she is Resistance. (if she's a spy, then most probably Marc is innocent). Anyhow I came back a bit too late as the Announcer has made my call final now.

Yeti, I'm not sure if your inductions are real or just trying to throw people off, but to clear the air this is my first time playing, and I picked people based on 1) Marc is a friend of mine from RP stage, 2) Autumn seem friendly enough. The leadership order never come across my mind.

Originally, I was hoping to get new cards so that I can get open up and see if Yeti is Resistance or Spy, and if he is resistance I can pick him and Keira safely. Unfortunately, only Team 1 of each mission get cards (I just asked the announcer about it), so now I'm still in the blind trying to pick members I feel I can trust. Besides Yeti, Helen and Autumn, anyone else has any ideas?

I would like to make some things abundantly clear. First of all, I made sure that we could still pm each other, just not about the game. Yeti responded in this thread. Second, my message to Joseph was this

From: Autumnsprings
To: Joseph Zeo
Sent: Jul 15, 2016 - 23:13
Everything I've said on the boards has been in good fun.

This was only after he attacked me because I was calling people a spy. Which I will again state I had been doing since people began signing up.

Third, if Joseph can provide proof that satisfies the announcer that I have sent anything more incriminating than this to Joseph, I will resign.

Fourth, if the announcer chooses to, I will give him my password and he can go through my sent messages himself. If he sees anything incriminating I will resign.
The only other PMs I have sent were to tell someone "check the resistance thread" or something like that, and to tell Joseph I had posted an update re: my ER visit.


As for this, Joseph, " so now I'm still in the blind trying to pick members I feel I can trust." You have a list with three other names on it from the announcer at the beginning of the game (unless you deleted it). Those names are Ms Helen, Sal, and Sindy. Those people, along with you, are spies. Everyone else is resistance.

Oh and finally, Joseph, I still like you and I'm not taking this personally, it's still in good fun. But there's a little something extra in there too. ;) We can still be friends. I like you. You're a likeable guy. You're counting on your charm and perceived naivete to get you through this. I'm praying it doesn't and that everyone else is too intelligent to fall for it.
