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.

Congrats spies! Especially to Bela, who played well, actually who didnt play much but they trusted you anyway.

I was trying to lead the game, but you think of me as a spy. So i didnt bother much to try harder. And also I'm new, so i get it, "We don't know him much so i don't trust him."

Ha! I got you! I was kidding.


Congrats again. If there is another game and our sched on the office is okay again I'll join to get my sweet revenge.

Haha yeah jintan what was that about, that you told us Autumn had confessed to you of being a spy? That was when I really thought you were a spy. Like I was 100% sure.

And you're right. Bela wasn't suspicious because she wasn't really posting or voting. Yeti and Sindy we figured out were spies soon enough :p
