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 point is that with this team, on this mission, we don't need to use the SPOTLIGHT card (and not because I'm oh-so-confident it will succeed). Sal, please(!) hold onto it for the fourth mission. jroepel, I hope you're onboard with this too.

Um. Molly, what did you mean by your last post? That vote went the way you wanted it to, didn't it? And what do I make of your suggestion to have DW play her card and skip our turns? I'm really very touchy about that.

There's no point in using it in the fourth mission is there? Spies can't realistically allow this mission to be a SUCCESS, as they'd need to get two spies onto the next mission to win. So if this mission is a SUCCESS, then we've won. This is really the best chance to use the SPOTLIGHT card, as should it fail Joseph will be completely out of arguments. It'll be plain for everyone to see she's a spy, without having to go through why it logically must be so.

I'm going to let Justin pick a team, although I can't promise it's going to reach you Bela.

Bela, my point was the two people most likely to be spies in this game voted YES. Wanting to skip your turn is not personal, but I can see you are entertaining the very people who are trying to fool you right now. Devi is the only one who has named the Resistance in a way I agree with.

"Two people most likely to be spies"??
Molly, I KNOW who's a spy and that's you.
So quit your word games, I can see right through you.

As lovely as your outrageous accusations are, you and Yeti are so obvious and I can't believe at this point that any resistance member is buying it.

By deduction, Bela is the most possible Resistance member in our group, and she's been waiting for her turn forever. Devi, I think it is best to let Bela have her turn. (I know you're just saying no promises, but I don't see any harm letting her take the helm)

Bela, let's see what comes out as a team proposal and then I will make my feelings clear. I have heard your ideas and am considering them. Let that be enough for now.
