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.

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.

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!

I've received all the votes.

Sal, since I have not received any reply, I am assuming you will not be using your ability this round. Therefore, results will be up shortly.

Mission 3

Joseph is the leader for Mission 3.

Mission 3 will consist of THREE team members.

The team leader has been given two advantages to distribute to whomever he sees fit. They are:

OVERHEARD CONVERSATION: Owner of this card learns the allegiance of either the player above/below him/her on the player list via PM from the game master. (The player may share this information on the game board if they so wish, but is not required to tell the truth.)

STRONG LEADER: Whoever receives this can use it to immediately become the leader, taking leadership away from the current leader. This can only be used BEFORE the current leader has given out abilities or proposed a mission team.

Joseph, please assign these abilities when you're ready. Keeping an ability for yourself is also acceptable.

To the members of the Resistance.

I tried to tell you that Bela and I are Resistance. I said there was at least one spy on this team. I said I would vote against this team and I did (as did Bela). In short, I tried to alert the other 2 Resistance members to vote this team down because it had to have a spy on it.

BUT NO! (in my best John Belushi voice).

Do as you please, but I now consider myself off the hook for my earler blunder.
