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.

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!)

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...

Aug-15-2016 21:42

Wow, so much happened.

Since Joseph accurately reported my allegiance as resistance, I am accepting her as resistance which puts Molly in the spy category.

Maybe I am just sleepy, but why did Sal say that he is a spy? Was he confessing or was he being sarcastic??

Devi is far more cunning than you give her credit for, Joseph. Yes, she was upset, but she was upset because as a spy she found herself discovered so early. So she pulled out all the stops (and I mean ALL the stops) to convince people she wasn't a spy. If you believe her though, the Resistance is done for.

Aug-16-2016 01:56

What he said. Just replace 'Devi' with 'Yeti'.

Aug-16-2016 04:45

Jroepel, just because she said you were resistance doesn't say anything about her allegiance. It just means she didn't want to cause another Yeti Devi situation.

Aug-16-2016 04:46

I mean, look at that. ^^^

Aug-16-2016 05:05

Joseph, I said Molly, Devi, and Yeti before we ever had a mission team proposed. I am stunned by the actions of the Resistance in this game, myself included. You seem dazzled by Yeti's yarn, not the logic. I could make a thousand false statements seem correct, but they would still be either false or useless. If I prove a moot point, what does that matter? I knew there was a spy on the last mission because Bela and I are resistance. Therefore there are only 2 more resistors left. SO any 3 team mamber that includes neither her or I, MUST have a spy. If that isn't COMPLETELY logical, I don't know what is. Haiving maxed both Aristotelian and symbolic logic, I assure you that statement is as logical as it gets.

The results of the vote on Joseph's MISSION 3 Proposal are in.

Joseph proposed a team of
- Joseph
- Justin
- Bela

This mission proposal has been REJECTED by a vote of 4-3. The votes are as follows:

Yeti Face YES
DevilishWings NO
Sal Iva NO
Molly Maltese NO
Joseph Zeo YES
jreopel YES
Bela Talbot III NO

Leadership will now move on to Justin unless Devi wants to use STRONG LEADER.

Molly, this IS another Yeti Devi situation, but it is not between two resistance members of course! I did find a spy, and that is you, but you saw that coming didn't you? As soon as I kept Overheard conversation to myself, you were bracing for the big reveal already.

Sal, yes I see you mentioned Molly, Devi, and Yeti as spies back on Aug 5 20:14. You're right about Molly alright, but Devi and Yeti BOTH being spies? Is that possible? As to logic (or the lack thereof), I do not mean the deduction of two resistance members outside of Mission 2, but what you said in the Aug-15-2016 12:50 post. Sorry, that just went over my head.
