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.

Well, so long as I'm right about Bela this is the dream team.

I disagree that I've slacked off on taking Cathy to task, Devi. She's obviously not enjoying being a spy, it's round two and she's been sussed out before she's even been on a mission. Just because I don't want her to be miserable it doesn't mean I'm wrong about her.

Ok Autumn. So who do you think sabotaged mission #1? Because I wasn't on it, and neither were Sindy nor Jintan.

If she gets a sparkle pony I do too!

And Cathy, you're forgetting I left the possibility of yeti being a spy. But he has to vote publicly so we'll get to see what he has to say.

Short answer, you three aren't the only ones I believe could be spies.

Actually, he doesn't have to vote publicly. Opinion maker is only for YES/NO and not for SUCCESS/SABOTAGE.

Well there can only be three spies and the combo you presented excludes any of the persons who were on the mission that was sabotaged.

I'm just saying, I think that Sindy and Jintan are spies too, I'm just trying to show you I can't be the third spy.

Those are the votes I meant. Not the sabatoge/success votes.

And you know you can't be the third spy. You just can't prove it yet. I've been falsely accused before so I know how it feels. And IIRC whoever was accusing me was being much worse. So if you aren't a spy I'm sorry. But until I'm sure this is the best I can come up with. If I'm wrong we damn well better get a good team next or the spies win.
