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 damn. And believe me I want to use a much stronger word.

Yeti, I hate you. No life boats. No sparkle ponies. Sabotaging my mission. Phhhhbt.

Meanie butt.

I agree with Bela's strategy.

Vote the next 3 down. Yeti has been proven to be a spy, Cathy Rose we're unsure of, and Jintan is too unpredictable.

It's critical now, and I regret putting yeti on my team. I'm sorry guys. :'(

Voting no, ofc. In case i forget to pm. And i will.

Jan-31-2017 13:27

Bela, are you serious? You are still saying I am a spy?

Jan-31-2017 13:29

And Autumn, you think I'm a spy too? ARE YOU EVEN READING THE THREAD?

Jan-31-2017 13:47

For once, I agree with you, Cathy.

HELLO! Yeti just gave Devi another NO CONFIDENCE CARD. Three failed teams and Devi can use those two NO CONFIDENCE CARDS and the game is over. And this team is obviously going to fail - so that only leaves two more tries.

DO YOU REALLY THINK HE WAS TRYING TO HELP OUT THE RESISTANCE?

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!

Jan-31-2017 13:53

Yeti, why do you want to make me miserable again?

:'(

Jan-31-2017 14:16

I'm going to Shangri La where I can't read this thread anymore and get upset that people still think I'm a spy. Yeti you're responsible for this. And you didn't want to be my friend and join my team. You owe me a pony :(

I quit :(

Jan-31-2017 14:30

Yeti how deliciously devious you are. Ok resistance, only 2 more spies to out. And of course I'll be voting NO on this team.

Announcer. Question about the rules since I don't trust Yeti anymore. When we're talking about refusing 5 teams - are those 5 for the entire game, or just one round?
