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.

Mission 3 consisting of Autumn, Lou, Bela, and Yeti was a FAILURE.

The team members voted as follows:
???? SUCCESS
???? SUCCESS
???? SUCCESS
???? SABOTAGE

Spies win 3-0! Congratulations! Would you like to reveal yourselves?

Great game everyone! I hope you all had a bit of fun. :)

Wait, what? Yeti was on the team? Who were the spies?

I was resistance. Duh :)

Feb-7-2017 11:04

I meant to say Devi, not Yeti. Or perhaps I mistook Yeti for Devi, what with the long hair and all. :)

I think The Announcer might have had a little typo there.

Anyway, shock reveal for everyone: I was a SPY all along.

Feb-7-2017 11:28

Yep. Me too. I was the secret spy. So secret no one even knew I was in the game :)

That's badass.

Feb-7-2017 11:48

I was a spy. I'll let the third spy reveal him/herself.

Next time I playResistance I'll change my avatar to a demon - maybe people will be more likely to believe me then. :P
