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.

Whoa, Devi your new avatar pic threw me for a loop. I am pretty tired and saw the picture and was all confused.

Devi, why are you lying to everyone? Mission 5 needs only one SABOTAGE to fail. A SABOTAGE you're planning to provide if everyone is silly enough to allow you onto this mission.

It does? Well, it's ok anyway since there are no spies here.

KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON YOU pops up now? :D

Not bad, we made it to the last round! And I've only had, what, three or four breakdowns? Neat. I'm fairly sure Molly and DW are Resistance, and I don't have any reason to think Justin/jroepel isn't too - it's just that I think Sal could really be Resistance (SPOTLIGHT really should have been played before the results of Mission 2 came out though, and there's the problem of the team he picked too - it doesn't scream SPY to me, but Justin doesn't have anything against him and from the little that he's said, he doesn't seem like a spy either). I can't wait to find out where everybody's allegiance really lies once this is over; whatever the result, it should be very interesting :D

Mission 5, Team 1: YES.

Either way, I feel like I'll have found a few performances to applaud :D Joseph, you were good! Very sneaky, with all the "why do Resistance members even have to explicitly vote SUCCEED anyway!", very evil; it was fun :D

Yes, I would like to play NO CONFIDENCE. I might just be delaying the inevitable, but I'm a chicken and I want to play it (and I know I'll feel like an idiot if this turns out to be the clean team after all); Justin still has STRONG LEADER so either Molly or Justin or I will propose the same team again if we learn nothing new by tomorrow.

Bela has chosen to play NO CONFIDENCE. The successful mission proposal has been vetoed. Leadership will now pass to Sal, unless Justin wants to use STRONG LEADER.

I agree with you Bela, I'm still most comfortable with this team but I'm willing to see what Sal proposes. Though, I'm thinking at this point we just have to pull the trigger because we're not going to get much more information from this game. :/

Also did anyone notice JZ voted yes? >_>
