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.

That's right folks, bar chat is back up, digital drinks, good conversation and amusing diversions all for free. Just be careful of the character in the back, he's kinda Shady.

I missed out on a bar chat party?!

How is that possible? I'm crushed. :/

I agree with Sindy, it's nice to see someone making use of all that juicy character evidence in past games. :-)

You're welcome Lou! I'm glad the bar chat is back up as well. It's been gone for way too long.

Mission 1 consisting of Devi, Yeti, and Bela was a FAILURE.

The team members voted as follows:
???? SUCCESS
???? SABOTAGE
???? SUCCESS

Bela, leadership will now pass to you for the next mission.

MISSION 2

Bela is the leader for Mission 2.

Mission 2 will consist of FOUR team members.

Bela, the team leader, has been given two advantages to distribute to whomever she sees fit. They are:

ESTABLISH CONFIDENCE: The leader's identity will be revealed to the player of his/her choice via PM from the game master.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: Whoever receives this can force a team member on any mission to post his/her action ("Success" or "Sabotage") publicly on the thread, rather than via PM. This can be used one time, on any player, for any mission in the game.

Bela, please assign these abilities when you’re ready.

Huh. Well it looks like I've been set up. As Cathy said earlier the usual thing to do is pick the two players immediately below you in the list on a first turn, but I know Devi isn't lead by the crowd and plays to her own guidelines, so I didn't give Devi not doing so much credence. Now the mission has been sabotaged though I must ask; Devi, did you pick me for this mission so you could sabotage it and blame the failure on me?

Bela, I'd like you to use ESTABLISH CONFIDENCE on me. I want to know if you or Devi is the spy.

Yeti? My BS detector is glowing bright hot red.

Oh for goodness sake. I've either been set up by Devi, or gotten unlucky by having Bela on the team. Hopefully we'll have more information after Bela uses her ESTABLISH CONFIDENCE.

Damn. I'll say it again as I've said it before. I was pushed for time, Sal messaged me on FB saying to get jn. When I noticed I was first I just picked two people I know best in the game - Yeti and Bela - and posted. Then I read the banter you guys were having. No big secret.
