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.

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

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.

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?

Cathy you looked up what word? Towntelling?

Jintan why do you think I'm scummy?

Cathy I thought I knew how I felt about the team. Afterall I'm on it so I know that's one less spot for a spy, but there have been some pretty good arguments against this team.

I believe I'm leaning toward a no vote.

I thought bells meant that if this team was voted down due would use it on the next one. Not sure though.

I just now believe there is a spy on the team.

If Bela is a spy, she could be trying to shoot down this team because it's clean.

If Sindy is a spy, I'm sure she would have dared Bela to use the card on her just to mess with her head.

I'm just saying, I'm not sure we have enough reason to believe that there could be another spy on the team than Sindy?

I could be completely wrong. But so far the ones I think are Resistance are Autumn, Lou, and Devi, and if we are now suspecting Devi who are we going to pick to go on the next team instead of her?

Also, you're supposed to really distrust Jintan if you're Resistance, so why are you considering his statements, and isn't it suspicious to you that he's been defending Yeti this whole time, and that he has not once included him as a possible suspect in his calculations?
