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.

Sometimes I think I'm smarter than I am 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.

I always wondered what happened if there was a tie...

Ha, I don't think anyone's ever said that before, Sindy. :-)

Devi, whatever team you propose I'm behind you 100%.

I'm so sorry for going missing again; I've been travelling, and though I've been trying to log in once or twice every day just to gtt my votes in at least, I've been doing a terrible job. I still stand by what I said in my last post (going through my post history will be much faster than the 'previous' links); DW, pick a team with you, me, Lou, and Autumn on it. In case I don't make it back in time to vote, I'll say that this is the only team I'll vote Yes to - any other team gets a no from me; if leadership for this mission passes to me, I will propose a team of DW, Lou, Autumn, and Bela.
