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.

Everything I've done has been to help the resistance. The only "suspicious" thing I've done is vote against teams which either definitely, or likely, have spies on them, which is exactly what I'm meant to be doing! If this mission fails I think it's time for you and others to reconsider your opinions on me.

That message was to Joseph, not Devi. There's no point trying to win confirmed spies to my cause is there?

Oh fiddlesticks, Yeti. Everyone's suspicious! I clearly outlined all my reasons and you're just calling me a spy cause it didn't go in your favor. I agree that Sal should use his In the Spotlight on any member of this team because as Bela states it would get us somewhere clarity-wise. He can use it on me if he likes but I assure you the result will be quite boring for you all. :)

I totally agree with you on the shocking double plot twist both DW and Yeti being spies would make, Bela!

Your "reasons" were the equivalent of saying, "Muffins are the best food because grass is green"; they had no apparently bearing on the actions and positions you took. Everyone may well be suspicious, but you truly take the biscuit. Or at least the muffin.

My actions and reasoning have been consistent. Surely you can see that?

Anyway. There's no need to beat each other up quite yet. Let's see how this mission goes. If it's a success, I'll re-evaluate my opinion on you. If it fails though, watch out; you'll be my bone with a bit of meat on it to go after like a dog.

Pfft. As to be expected from a mongrel like you. ;)

Will you be using your power, Sal?

All the drama flying around the last 24 hours almost made me just walk away completely. But then I thought, nah forget that. So here I am to vote. Let's go Resistance! Get your votes in so we can kick this off right for the good guys.

Haha never you worry dear, the accusations are simply Yetis smokescreen. Vive Le resistance!
