Hello everyone. It's been some time since we've had a game of Resistance, so I'll be hosting one (without story) for everyone to enjoy. If you've never played before, feel free to jump right into the world of uncertainty and lies. I promise lots of fun. :)

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.

Okay, well good to know who the spies are. Would any third person like to step up?

I always thought this game was tilted toward the resistance as well, but then I started reading outside threads and the consensus seems to be the opposite - that the spies have the advantage because they know who the other spies are while the resistance are in the dark.

I think the players here at Sleuth are just too nice to be the really, truly, dirty rotten spies they need to be to win - except Yeti, of course.

Oh, and good to know at least one of my co-conspirators Jintan. I'm sure The Announcer will send me that list eventually.

Hahaha!

He's trying to be "transparent" Emer. Showing us he has absolutely nothing to hide. ;)

This is how I'd dress in the wild. I'm taking some time to get in touch with my roots.

Here's a music video about one of the greatest "Resistance" members of our time, the inimitable Che Guevara.

I hope it lifts the spirits of all my fellow Resistance members.

¡QUE VIVA! ¡Viva La Resistencia!
