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.

I picked Sindy because she was next (I might have the player order stickied to my desktop; it helps!), and if she had been clean (which I now know she is not), we could have gone on teams together and been besties and stuff. No, now I get a shouting match.

There's probably a STRONG LEADER card still out there; I don't want it to fall into Sindy's hands. Since we have a very YES-y group here, I'll pick a team of myself, Sindy, DW, and Yeti. It's obviously dirty, so vote it down. That way, Sindy has to pick the next team for the same mission (won't get them Powers); it'll probably have her on it, so I'll vote it down. I'd like everybody else to do the same too, and let Lou or Autumn pick a team; there's no chance that they're BOTH spies, and we'll try to send out the best team possible then. This mission needs to have half the players on it, and it'll be very hard to make sure you only leave out only one Res player. If there's one suspicious player on the team that we could use SPOTLIGHT on, I'm open to suggestions.

1- Bela is a spy
2- Sindy is a spy
3- Bela and Sindy are both spies

Haven't got any leads on which one it is yet.

It could very well be a trio including Yeti if the "secret but not so secret message" theory is correct.

It's really just my word against Sindy's for now; DW, Cathy, thanks for laying out all the possible deductions too. Sindy, I'm sure you can do better than that - I will accept the congratulations though. Since only I *know* that you're a spy, I have to check you whenever I can. I can only hope that the others are neutral (distribute cards among themselves, at the very least), and that they don't enable you.Let's see what kind of team Sindy proposes.

Mission 2? San 3 people from the first mission which has failed? You kidding me? Bela you chose this?

Best play here is to pick 2 people from the last mission and 1 new that everyone has confidence on. And based on the cards we should highlight one of the 2 from the first mission. That way we can at least learn something. Its not always in the wordings and talking guys. Its about making plays and optimal choices.


IF YOU ARE RESISTANCE, I AM SHOUTING THAT YOU VOTE NO.

Devi, I said earlier why a spy could reveal to a resistance member; to avoid dragging another spy down with them further down the line. Only those two players know who the spy is between them.

Frankly I think it makes most sense if Bela is the spy. Whether she's resistance or spy, nuking Sindy's powers makes sense so long as Sindy is on the opposing side. Consequently I think it unlikely they're on the same side. It'd be bad luck for Bela as a resistance member to stumble into a three person mission with a spy on it, and THEN reveal herself to a spy.

So Bela a spy, Devi and Sindy resistance. Or alternatively, Devi and Sindy spies, Bela resistance, just Bela being the spy seems so much more likely.

Ah Cathy, still insistent on my spy credentials. That reading of my post was quite the surprise. I hope I don't drop any more inadvertent "secret messages".

What i mean is if the mission fails, you dont pick the same people + 1 to the new mission. That ia just basic.

If the 3 people from the first mission says they are resistance, it should be already 3 votes of No + me. We need to keep the ball rolling anyway to see everyone's choices of ally. Because we now might come to the 5-man mission in which if you can remember, we have 5 resistance so no room for error.

I am begging everyone not to just focus on the talks, think also. Thanks

Jintan, Bela crafted this mission specifically with the intention of everyone voting it down. Read her posts again.
