As Miss Hawkeye will be quite busy doing background work on the Olympics, this round of Resistance will return to its original format. There will be no story to accompany the missions, but everything else will work the same as usual.

The game takes place over a series of 5 "missions." The Resistance is trying to complete 3 missions successfully, while the spies are attempting to sabotage 3 missions. First one to 3 wins.

I will serve as game master. Once we get enough people to play (5-10 total), I will PM everyone their allegiance (either "Resistance" or "Spy"). If you are a "Spy," I will also PM you the names of your co-conspirators.

A "leader" will be chosen at random for the first mission. The leader has 2 important functions:
1) The leader will assign various "role" abilities to players. These are one-shot special powers a player can use to learn more information about someone.
2) The leader will assign players to the "team" for that mission.

Missions will have a varying number of players who are selected; the leader picks a team, then every player will vote on whether or not they approve the team by PMing me. Once all the votes are cast, I will post the voting results. If a majority approves the team, the mission starts. If not, the mission does not start, and the next player in line becomes the new "leader" for that round. This continues until either a mission is approved, or 5 consecutive mission teams are rejected (in which case the spies win automatically.)

Once a mission team is approved, those players will PM me their choice of action during that mission. Resistance players will ALWAYS choose to have the mission succeed by sending "Success," while spies have a choice: they can either elect to have the mission succeed (to throw off suspicion), or they can "Sabotage" the mission.

That's rather annoying. We can but hope that Devi chooses SUCCESS, but somehow I don't think she will.

It's not an issue about how I vote since I have no other option but to vote success, but I do hope Joseph does the same.

I've voted way back already. Not getting why resistance need to vote, since we can only vote one way. It's like what Ford used to say, "You can choose whatever color you want, as long as it is black."
Kinda silly.

Not saying I believe Devi is definitely resistance, but that she wouldn't reveal herself even IF she's a spy after what Yeti stated/claims. I just hope the risk pays off...

Even if you were both Resistance you still need to vote else when the results came back instantly everyone would know a team only contained Resistors, rather than a potential uncover spy.

well presumably the announcer wouldn't return the results instantly. there would be a delay. perhaps even a note saying "I'm waiting on x votes."

Mission 1, Team 2 consisting of Devi and Joseph was a SUCCESS.

The team members voted as follows:

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

There's a few problems with that Autumn. Not only is it a more complicated way to do things, it also means that if a Resistance member hasn't logged in and their vote is "taken" and the result announced, anyone who has paid attention will know that person is innocent. It also pays to hold off on your vote sometimes if you want to have a discussion before the next mission starts and the powers are assigned. If as a Resistance member you don't get to vote any more, you lose that ability.

Huh. I guess Devi voted SUCCESS after all. Power to the Resistance, but we must be wary about putting her on future missions.
