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.

Yeti was on a mission that failed, jintan. Why would you be ascertained, at this point of the game, that he is, indeed, "the most innocent" of us all?

I believe Spies only have 2 ways to play this game and will usually act in accordance with their personality/character and it's very difficult to put on someone else's skin and wear it comfortably or rather effectively, so the introverts will hide and stay in the shadows, safe but boring, the extroverts like to hide in plain sight and continually cause confusion by misdirecting team attentions away from themselves, usually with accusations and counter punching. Spies take note you've won the first round but it's still a long way to the finish line and we the ever vigilant true resistance members are carefully watching and waiting for your mistakes, you've already stepped into a snare, without even realizing it.

jintan, why didn't you vote?

Is that because you wanted the team to go through?

jintan is growing increasingly suspicious by the minute.

And I really doubt that autumn would be stupid enough to reveal her allegiance to him if she was a spy, especially when there has been some information now about who they may be.

Mr Jintan, after encouraging resistance team members to vote no on Bella's proposed team, you voted yes and were the only one to do so. Curious, if it's because of a random flip of the coin because of the imposed time limit expiring, that still begs the question of why you didn't cast a vote as you we're previously logged in within the voting period. Not accusing, just wondering. Like I've said before we are carefully watching.

I have an additional reason for thinking Yeti is a spy, now, and it's that jintan keeps defending him to us as being Resistance. :D

We are closing in on you, Imperial SPIES. Nowhere to run now :D

So Miss Sindy is now the team leader her choice of teammates will be most interesting. Let's see what powers come into play.

I assume Jintan made an honest mistake by forgetting to actually vote.
