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.

Also Miss Autumm is up next to propose the next team, so the way I see it, we are in pretty good shape as far as selecting the next team.

Whatever you say, Sinds. :D

No, Lou, I agree with you as far as using the card on this team goes, but I figured I'd ask in case anybody else could think of a good way to use it here; if we could all decide on something, I'd ask the Announcer to have that down as what I want to do with my card in case this team goes through and I'm not around right then to say I want to use my card. I get that we can't know for sure if a team we vote through is clean, but without me on it, I don't want to right now. Unless they suspect the same, I completely understand if the others on the team don't feel the same way (they're just in the same situation I was during the first mission, and that didn't turn out well).

Seriously, Bela and Sindy have reason to suspect me now? What exactly is that reason, Bela?

Autumn and jintan doesn't work for me on this team. It's pretty obvious that one of them is a spy since jintan accused autumn of being a spy. You said you had a theory about this debate, but I haven't seen you post about it yet, so what is it? I suggest using the card on jintan. Then again I don't know if you'll even take my opinion into consideration since you suspect me of being a spy.

Seriously, I've tried so hard to show you I was Resistance because I AM! Instead you are trusting the people who said they were SPIES?! I don't understand anything at all.

And I'm not posting as much anymore because I'm really tired of this game and I was invested in it when no one else was around to discuss it but the spies, and the ones I thought were resistance weren't even discussing or voting, and were only posting something once a day.

The only person who has bothered to defend me so far is jintan, who I think is actually a spy. And I don't know if that's a tactic or him being nice, but I think he felt just felt sorry for me because I kept going into bar chat saying that the game made me miserable.

If the game is actually making you miserable Cathy, I'm really sorry to hear that. The whole point of games, win or lose, is to have some fun and if it's making someone miserable that's a failure for everyone as far as I'm concerned.

Then stop accusing me of being a spy :(

Bela, again I am waiting for your input to vote. So what will you do?

Maybe if you didn't act like a spy I wouldn't accuse you of being one! :-P

Okay Cathy, like Yeti said, if this game is making you miserable, I'm so sorry, especially if I've contributed to it by not being around much. I feel awful to be saying this, but now a small part of me is wondering if *you're* faking emotion since people are starting to cast suspicion onto you too (I'm not sure you're a spy or anything; I'll get back to that) but this game can get to you like that. It gets even more maddening towards the end (trust me, I know how it feels). You posted a lot in the beginning, and gone after people quite a bit; that's really all you've done - again, don't let it get to you too much when people come after you.

Also; did I really say I had a theory about Autumn and jintan? I remember it being more along the lines of "I don't get where this sprung up from" (I think it was jintan's senpai post?) - it confused me something popping up like that but I dismissed it at the time. What *was* that about, jintan? I have no theories about those two, LOL. :D

Cathy, you've seen the previous Resistance threads - Yeti always says weird stuff; I'd rather go by what he does because otherwise my head hurts. Because that's been his strategy so far, he can't switch to starting with "I'm Resistance" without it looking suspicious no matter which side he's on. XD

Again, I'm sorry if me being MIA ruined the game for you; it's been a little too hectic for me too, so I'll probably shut up and sit out the next time one of these games pops up while I'm busy. :/ I have been trying my best to keep up and help the Resistance out to the best of my ability, but you really shouldn't rely too much on how somebody else plays to make or break your game either - that's the environment you're working with right then. Sorry if I'm being preachy or...talk-y, but what I'm really trying to say is not to let it all get to you.

I was typing! :D And dealing with the most amazing internet connection in the world. :))

...I voted NO. It was in my last post. You can't miss them any more; they're the huge blocks of text written while people wonder where I've gone because they saw me online just now and then I was gone. :P
