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.

I *never* argued that Yeti couldn't be a spy. I was actually suspicious of him in the beginning. What I had a hard time with was his not so secret "secret message." You have to admit, it was pretty transparent and I just couldn't see Yeti as an experienced spy doing something so obvious.

And I ask you, if Bela is not a spy, who was he sending his secret message to? Or was his secret message a red herring?

I think I just believed him to be smarter than he actually is XD

Just kidding :) it was actually a strategy I thought I could use in case I became a spy before the game began. So that's why I thought Yeti had used it too. :)

I voted yes, it's our only hope to win, Yeti gave Devi the power to end the game and give the spies the win if we don't approve this team, however if it's approved and there's no spy on it, she'd have to use one of her cards or give the resistance a win.

If Devi is a spy, why would she pick other spi(es) to go on her team? :)

Because it would be unexpected - just like a spy outing himself/herself to a resistance player. :P

Yeti, we all stand in awe of your mental processes.

I don't know about awe but I definitely think he lacks not in that department.
