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.

I actually don't mind your logic, or having Sal use his card on any of the other players in the game.. I feel like the Yeti versus DW debate has taken center stage and I for one would like to pull some of the less vocal players into the fray to find out their allegiance, their theories etcetera. Not to slam either DW or Yeti, mind you! I just want to hear from the others. XD

Yeah, I re-read my post and it got a little harsh before it became silly again; I was just trying to figure out where everybody else is coming from and what ideas they might have for the power distribution, and I'm not bashing DW or Yeti either - obviously they know something we don't and they actually *have* something to argue about. I'm secretly (well, not any more) rooting for both of them to be spies :D

Um, me me me?

It's ok Bela, I got it. Frankly, given our friendship, I'd have chosen you, but I didn't get a good grip on which side you're on, so..

By the way, remember that record you set before with the "most delayed reply in history". I think you beat it since I texted you back and I'm still waiting :))))

Haha I was just thinking, how crazy would it be if they were both spies! And this was the best performance ever??

Sorry, for the delay. RL had other plans.

First the powers. I give OPINION MAKER to Molly Maltese and OPEN UP to Bela.

Since Devi has been trying to smear Sal as a spy I'm inclined towards thinking he's actually resistance. If you are as well Bela, I think you should OPEN UP to him. If you're not, well, I suppose you'll just have to come up with something.

Sal has chosen to give OPINION MAKER to Molly. Molly must vote first publicly in this thread whether or not to approve a mission, for the rest of the game.

Sal has chosen to give his OPEN UP ability to Bela. Bela, please let me know to whom you would like to reveal your allegiance, and I will PM that player with the information.

I'll be happy to explain my vote reasoning for any and all mission proposals in the future, Resistance friends! I often do so anyway. :)

Bela, I hear you. I'm still trying to grasp this game and figuring out if intuition works in this game or not, because I have a few and not sure if they are right or not.

DW: I have? I seem to be doing that more and more often these days; let me see if I can give that record some closure :D

Thank you Sal! :D As much as I hate to be agreeing with Yeti :P I'm opening up to Sal :) I'm playing! :D
