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.

Devi, I know you won't believe me either, but here you go:

Although I'm sure you already know very well the answer...

In regards to Devi's question: It's 5 failed mission proposals in a row for a round, not for the whole game.

Autumm and Lou betrayed and seething over the failed mission, silently stand by taking in the scene before their eyes. They look at Bella as she passes by, nodding their assent. Her head effect and shoulders braced for what's coming next, she shrugs and with an icy voice, says "Now lets go get Judas's partners."

Hehe, you're right Lou. My brand of deviousness is delicious.

I voted no. Just so you know and you can debate for at least 24 hours before I come back again. I will propose, obviously Me, Bela, Lou and Autumn. Personally, I am not sure which is the spy between Cathy or Autumn, but I am leaning that Autumn is the spy. I just want her in my team so that if she is really the spy, I would love to say to everyone that "I told you so". If not, "Yeah i proposed this team that went successful for resistance for the first time, hell!!"

And I really don't know if i can trust Devi yet, maybe Yeti really soft-claimed that he voted to make mission 1 a success and Devi made it fail. And I'm not even 100% sure that Bela is the resistance here but many would agree that she is so let's go!

Hope we have a comeback guys. hihi

The empire strikes back! Oh wait ...

Why's everyone suddenly so sure I'm a spy?

Oh Yeti, still being naughty and trying to muddy up the resistance waters, I'll answer your question with the most obvious and unmistakable answer, because you voted to Sabotage a mission and it's only possible to make that vote if you are a SPY. I think that this will classify as a cold hard fact, and that should put an end to anybody in the resistance who might still be unclear about your true allegiance. Sometimes we overlook the obvious.
