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.

Joseph, I think Dashing means you can't assign powers based on a set of conditions being fulfilled: first you assign all powers, then you find out stuff based on how you distributed the powers. We're going to be bratty about that...

In that case I'll just past Stronger Leader to Devi, and keep Overheard Conversation to myself, which I shall use on Justin.

Well that is disappointing. That means that either Molly or Joseph are a spy.

Okay, What do I need to do for the overhead cuonversation?

Molly, Molly, Molly.

Tut. Tut. Tut.

You don't have to do anything jroepel, The Announcer will mail Joseph your allegiance, and it'll become clear (at least to Joseph) that Molly is the spy. For me Molly has gone from merely being a red flag to also certainly being a spy. Though I don't know why Joseph has gone and given a power to Devi the spy.

Who's the spy then, Molls? Justin or Joseph? Oh wait, your answer doesn't matter as you'll just LIE. You're a spy, Molly. Just admit it. Your undercover currency is spent, you've been found out. It's time to stop wriggling and accept that you're done.

Things must be a bit crazy over at Sleuth Olympics.

Honestly Yeti, this seems like a big ol frame-up. I'm starting to think the way you and Sal are interacting, that you two are in cahoots. Sal could have played that In the Spotlight card and it would have been invaluable in determining whether JZ or Justin was the spy. He didn't play it. Just like he "forgot" this that and the other thing. Suddenly you're blowing smoke at me and I feel it's a cover for someone else on this team. Almost as though you knew it would be sabotaged and you wanted to be certain everyone pointed the finger in my direction. My money is on Yeti, Sal and a third being the spy. im not sure between JZ and Justin, but it's one of them.

Joseph has chosen to keep OVERHEARD CONVERSATION for himself, and use it on Justin. I will PM Joseph with Justin's allegiance immediately.

Joseph has chosen to give his STRONG LEADER ability to Devi.

It is now time for Joseph to propose a team of 3 people.
