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.

Doesn't make sense. "Bela or Devi and Lou or Sindy", which means that one from each pair is a spy. So u r saying that Devi and Lou can be spies and Bela and Sindy can both be innocent. Which doesn't make sense at all.

I can't tell, between Bela and Sindy, who the spy is. I can't tell who is being emotional and who is faking emotion to gain our trust. But neither of them is making complete sense. Whichever one of you is Resistance, please keep calm so we can try to identify you through your actions and words.

I wonder if people are checking in and reading this thread daily for entertainment.

Jan-27-2017 04:52

Yup I am wrong about that because that would include Bela and Sindy can be resistance which is impossible. But (Sindy and Bela), (Sindy and Devi), (Lou and Bela) can be the 2 spies. I didnt bother to enumerate. I am sorry Kathryn. Hope you forgive me.

Why would an innocent townie try to help out the bad guys in any way they can help? It doesn't make sense either. Especially since the good guys don't know who the bad guys are in the first place...

Also, I looked up that word you used, and I see it means something completely different than what you said.

Mr Jintan, thanks for clearing that up, We all make mistakes, life goes on and keeps intruding on our gaming.

Nothing is cleared until the game is over and we know for sure what was going on :)

Devilish, Autumn, and Lou, what are you leaning toward in terms of voting for Sindy's proposed mission? I haven't heard your thoughts yet, and I don't know which way

Jan-27-2017 06:12

...you've decided to go yet.

Okay, if she's not using IN THE SPOTLIGHT I will not be voting for this team.

The sooner we can move onto a new mission with new power cards, the sooner the truth will come out.

Jan-27-2017 07:33

She said she would use her card if the team were to go through, unless I misunderstood?

Bela, is that what you meant to say in your comment?
