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.

What I'd really like to do turn the tables on Bela and put her on the team and force her hand – but then that would put the resistance behind 2 – 0 and that's just not acceptable.

I can propose a team without myself to prevent myself from possibly being incriminated – But if I take myself off the team, then I am exponentially increasing the odds that one of the other team members I choose will be a spy which would again put the resistance behind 2 – 0.

What to do, what to do?

I choose for my team

Myself, Devi, Lou and Autumnsprings

Sindy, I think that choosing a team that you're not on is a good idea. Why did you not do that?

Okay, I suggest we do one of two things.

1- Have the team go ahead. Bela can use her IN THE SPOTLIGHT card on Sindy, which would force Sindy to vote SUCCESS/SABOTAGE publicly on the board.

2- We shoot down the team, and move on to Lou who we have no reason of suspecting to be a spy.

Up to you, team.

I would LOVE Bela to use her IN THE SPOTLIGHT card on me. That's why I put myself on the team.

Come on, Bela! I double dog dare you.

I just realized I didn't address the other part of Jintan's post.

I am not a spy. And if I were I sure as hell wouldn't disclose it to someone who is asking. If I were a spy I would know whether he were a spy. Why would I disclose to a resistance member? I wouldn't. I'm not that stupid.

But if Jintan was a spy he would know I'm resistance. So again, why ask? Short answer, he wouldn't. And didn't. He didn't have to. He knows who the spies are.

And I'm not one of them. Only one of us makes sense on this point. And it ain't him.

Sorry, I didn't see the new posts before posting mine. Cathy, thank you for believing I'm not that idiotic.

You're welcome, Lou.

Sindy could still be a spy though :)

Before I make my vote I'd like to hear what Bela has to say. Bela, I guess you're going to be voting this team down whether you're resistance or a spy, but if it does go ahead will you use your IN THE SPOTLIGHT power?
