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, no need to apologize, that's the game. I do find myself enjoying each round more. I too, think everyone did a fine job according to their roles. I made a mistake early on and appaarently was not forgiven for it while the spies got away clean, much to their credit. Yeti, I came close with my first suspects, but in the early comments you did seem spyish. I did however, eventually come around to thinking you were really resistance after you made the comment that everything you had done was pro resistance, as it was. Joseph, your neon sign comment moved you into my maybe column, as well as the falseness of the statement. Oh geez, in other words, I think it turned out to be a great puzzle and I truly enjoyed it.

Oh, Devi. Sorry to have suspected you from the start. It was based on pre mission comments and took some work to try and put that suspicion down and I'm not quite sure I completely did. It all made for a great round though.

Fab game to watch guys.

Have to say flitted from Yeti being a spy and Molly being a spy but never suspected you both of being spies. Nicely played :D

Haha, I'm actually kind of happy for Molly; you do enjoy being a spy so much :D I don't think I would have figured out you were the third spy anyway (seriously, I just crossed you off of my list, a while ago!). It wasn't Sal being suspicious - I didn't find you suspicious, so good job! :D

Ahem, I mean: FILTHY DIRTY SPIES!!! You lot.

Sal, I'm sorry (our first game too!); you were forgiven a long time ago after you made a bunch of posts but I just couldn't figure out who the last spy was, so I just decided to go with the same team - I just didn't know who to boot. I even decided all four of you (DW, Justin, Molly, and Sal) were Resistance before I went, "okay, now you're just being crazy - you're Resistance too. I think." :P

I expected everybody to do *something* (I expected *you* to do something after the NO CONFIDENCE thing when it was your turn to pick a team, but you and Justin, you two just wouldn't budge :D) but I never would have guessed that Molly was our last spy. I knew something was up because Yeti was being all smug and just doing the bare minimum when it came to protesting his innocence (ha, how good was that anyway? On your day, you can take pretty much anybody Yeti, but this time, against DW; oh, it was hilarious :D).

Oh, and the neon comment was really something. I was just skimming through the page but when I got to that, I had to go back to figure out how things came to that, I just had to :D

Okay, yay, I lost a game. Where's the glorious Announcer; if she's not drowning in Olympics ribbons yet, I'm up for the next game. *Totally* against my better judgment :D Thank you so much for hosting a game I could play, Riza :)

Pfft; it's a cheap trick taking me down with threats of screen shots and self-disqualification.

I'll be hosting the next game, and it'll take place once the Olympics are all done and dusted. :)

I wasn't even bluffing about the screenshot. I was pissed off and it took a while to cool down and say eff it, it's a game. But yeah, I did want to take that screenie.

Priceless :D

I remember that, one of my un-posted posts to DW had something in it about how doing that would mean the game would have to abandoned. Abandoned. Too much cricket :P

Ooh, okay Yeti. That'll probably be some time after next week (I don't know, isn't week 4 the last one? Anyway we'll need that time to cool off; I will carry this baggage for a few more games, AT LEAST :D) in which case I think I'll have to revert to my "ooh, next game for sure!" ways. Reading's fun too!

Very entertaining to watch guys. I thought Yeti was a spy and then went back and forth with Molly being a spy.

Great job.

Hahha I think that was the trick that worked, we would probably never three be classified together.
