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.

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.

I think I'll pass on the next one. It's been entirely too hectic for me these past few weeks with the Olympics and private life and so on.

Oh but guys, I believe Riza is planning to host another hidden identity game she conceived herself (based on a critically acclaimed video game/ visual novel) She mentioned she will only host it once a year due to the work involved. Exactly 9 players are required and the game is based on trust (an opposite to Resistence). I'm definitely in!
