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.

Well this is divisive. However DW you are correct I believe on the four resistance members. JZ, Sal and Yeti seem thick as thieves. The nice thing is as true Resistance members the four of us have the power to sway the vote away from these three. If we move as a united front, we can succeed!

Aug-15-2016 09:17

Aww, look at DW and Yeti getting along :D

Yes, thank you Yeti. I am definitely Resistance - I'll write it out! There's officially no way I can be a spy since there are only three spies in this game, and if I'm a spy, Sal's a spy too (having vouched for me being Resistance). But there are already at least two spies in the Yeti-DW and Molly-Joseph-jroepel camps, so if I were a spy, there'd be more than three spies running around. Okay, more later.

Joseph, I love you dearly, but my "covering for Molly" is as obvious as neon sign flashing on a moonless night?

That flashing light has revealed the pile of dog doo doo that you're trying to sell. Don't step in it. Oops, too late. :)

Aug-15-2016 10:13

Yeti. So you have been consistant all along. You about questioned my sanity when I attempted to put Justin on a mission team and now you say he has to be on every team. Give me a break.

Aug-15-2016 10:19

I don't think Sal necessarily has to be resistance to vouch for you Bela. If Yeti lied about DW to start off with, that's a bold enough move that I don't think it would be used twice. Any spy would reveal Resistance as Resistance because otherwise it would just be way too messy. In my opinion anyway. The trouble is he didn't put you on a team. If he was gunning for a resistance win of course he would stack the team with known resistance members.

Aug-15-2016 10:35

I don't think Bela was ruling out Sal as a spy Molly, just herself.

Sal, my problem with your team was not telling us Bela's allegiance. I don't think I've ever taken issue with Justin?

Aug-15-2016 12:33

Yeah; if I'm a spy and Sal says I'm Resistance, then he's a spy too. Then the numbers wouldn't work, proving that I'm not a spy, but Sal still could be. Seriously, I've got nothing - hence the "more later"...I thought I'd have something to say later. Nothing yet.

Joseph, what do you have to say in reply to DW's and Yeti's posts on the previous page (starting 14 Aug, 23:27)? I'm not sure how I feel about this team.

Aug-15-2016 12:50

Yeti. Joseph revealed someone's allegiance, I think Justin's. I don't necessarily believe her. Why does it feel funny to call Joseph her? So for me to have revealed Bela's, who would that have satisfied? The spies will concoct something and the real resistance still won't know for sure. So that makes no sense to me.

Okay, flash ------I am a spy.

Resistance people, believe Joseph and whomever, but wait and see how you're going to feel when this game is over. :D

Aug-15-2016 18:25

Bela, like yourself, sometimes I just close my mouth and see what others write (because I haven't come down with a conclusion yet, plus very often I'm busy).

I did read Yeti's Aug-14-2016 23:27 post earlier, and honestly I don't know what to think. All his reasoning are correct, but it's just impossible to imagine Devi was acting everything that had happened. She seemed genuine enough. In this case, I'd just leave both of them out of the picture for now and focus on what we know would work. I KNOW a team of Justin-Bela-Joseph will, and if we win this one, then Resistance is on the road to victory.

As to DW's suggestion, knowing what I know, it sounded off. We're picking a team of 3 right now, and Devi put out 4 names. I know Justin is resistance and Molly's definitely a SPY, so if anyone is putting Molly out of the picture by my warning, then DW becomes the obvious choice to the trio... It sounds like a game plan to me (doesn't make the computer glich less hilarious though!)

Aug-15-2016 18:35

Sal, you're a great friend to me as well. Yes, it is weird to call Joseph a her... I guess I'll need to use another account when i play Resistance :P

That said, it doesn't make all the moves you've made so far less questionable and your reasoning more logical...
