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.

And that's another thing, you'll note I hope that Bela certainly hasn't been around subjecting herself to interrogation.

Of course, I'm sure she's busy...

Yes of course she can use it on me in another round, but since I'm a spy who's going to put me on their team? Or maybe she was hoping the last team would go through and her associate spy would be able sabotage and it wouldn't matter by the next mission because the spies would be ahead 2 to 1.

I'm sorry

would be ahead 2 - 0

And now I have to go to work because my boss is going to be out of town for the next two weeks and I have to help him get things ready.

Just in case anyone wonders where I am...

Thanks Sindy. And you are right, i don't think she will use the card on you.

OK folks here is my team proposal: Myself obviously that way I'm positive there is 1 resistance team member on the team, Autumm, Jintan and Cathy, the reason for this mix is simple, none of us has been on a mission that has been sabotaged and there's no factual reason for eliminating them. I'm confident in my choices and I know that Yeti will vote no because of Cathy. Or main controversy centers around Bella/Sindy and Devi with a minor on Yeti. My choices should not be misconstrued as a distrust of anyone, still too early to tell, but this is the best course of action based upon the limited information we have right now. I know it's risky but no matter how I look at it the best probability I can come up with is 75% successful mission, and hopefully a win. the spies have done an outstanding job at getting us to vote down teams and we need to get to mission 3 for more cards that will get us what we need. I'm confident in this team and I'm voting Yes for it. Once more into the fray, I await your questions, criticism or witticisms.

Lou, do think there are 2 spy in the first mission? Because if not and there is only 1 spy at the first mission. Then this mission guaranteed to fail because one is spy. I will vote no here.

Jintan there is the possibility of there being 2 spies on the 1st mission but the probability is no there was most likely just the one. At this point There is no way for anyone except the spies to pick a 100% Team of resistance players. We may deduce but we can't KNOW with certainty who the spies are yet. Hopefully we will garner more information, possibly from my team selection.

I'm sorry for being MIA, and I'm back. I don't know why so many people were confused, but I'd said that if Sindy's team was approved, I'd use the spotlight card on her, but that I'd *really* prefer it if it was voted down. I have a quite a few pages of posts to work with now; I've read through it all once already, I'll answer whatever pops up as it came up now.

I am not being emotional, and I'll be freer than usual today, I'll pop in every now and then and address where you think I'm not making sense. Sindy, on the other hand, is being so transparently theatrical, and the way she immediately nuked her own team once she thought I wasn't using my spotlight card on her reaffirms my suspicions that there was another spy on her team. [Jan-27-2017 07:21] She knows she can't communicate openly on the boards the way Yeti did (there's even a chance he wasn't a spy then; I don't remember if there was something in particular Yeti did or if it's my general distrust of him at work here. :P I have some time now; I'll read through the whole thread and try to organise my suspicions. And Cathy, I have no doubt there are at least a few people that read/will read this thread. :D)

I think I'll look up towntelling too. :| I have only a very faint idea of how the jintan-Autumn thing was started, and it's fading fast.

Wait, from what I see, Sindy introduced the fad of being confused about whether I was going to use my spotlight card on this team or not. Makes a lot more sense now. :)

To clarify something that Cathy brought up [Jan-27-2017 15:10]: ESTABLISH CONFIDENCE is used to reveal the leader's allegiance to a player of his/her choice. I was mission leader at the time that card popped up, so I had to use it to reveal my allegiance to somebody, and I outlined my reasons for doing what I did in the same post (or the next). Otherwise I would have given somebody else that card and asked them to reveal their allegiance to me - continued in next post.

Actually there is kinda hope for a 4-man resistance. We could try 3 new players and Devi, and we spotlight on Devi. If Devi flips spy, then Devi and Sindy are spy. Because Devi won't pick another spy, so Bela is cleared, and Sindy is lying.

And if Devi is resistance or she voted for the mission 2 to success, but the team still fails, then at least one is a spy in the newcomers.


But I still prefer 2 players from the last mission and we put a spotlight in one of the two. And we add 2 new. Because its much easier to get 2 new resistance than 3 out of 5.

But your idea is not totally losing. It would just mean that we need to be perfect from mission 3 onwards if mission 2 fails which most probably will.
