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.

Maybe someone will listen to me now when I tell you who the spies are >.<

So, unless I was extremely unlucky and picked two spies in the first round, and Bela is a spy too.. then Sindy is one.

Jan-31-2017 03:06

And no Bela, I wasn't hamming. I was seriously asking Yeti to join Resistance now that he's driven us to the brink of perdition.

Yeti, you've successfully been a spy many times over, but have you ever turned into a successful double agent? You won't know what that's like until you try it :) This is your chance to show us what a great player you are by helping us win now that we're so far gone.

Also I really want to play an interesting game and my team isn't even reading the thread or voting.
So let's join forces now :)

Resistance wants to recruit you!

I promise more letters written on scented stationery :)

Oh Cathy, why do you so desperately want me to betray the team we both belong to?

Jan-31-2017 03:21

Why do you not want to be on the same team as me :(

Come on, the invitation was sent out even before you revealed yourself to be a spy. I knew you were a spy even then. We knew who each other was. You knew because you were privy to that information and I knew you who you were because I'm just amazing like that and the Resistance doesn't deserve to have me on their team.

Let's be on the same team now :D

If you don't think the resistance deserve you then you should definitely live true to your being a spy.

Jan-31-2017 03:41

I can't switch.

You switch. Come on, why not add some twists to this formulaic game :)

Jan-31-2017 03:46

Hope you guys do well.

Didn't I explain a few posts ago how a resistance player could work for the spies? Anyhow, whilst you're obviously happy to send me on future missions I doubt the resistance will go for it.

Jan-31-2017 04:00

So you will switch? :D
