Hello everyone. I’ll be hosting another game of Resistance, and I encourage all lurkers from the previous game(s) to come out and play! We’ll keep it simple with just gameplay and no story this time. And if you’ve never played before, feel free to jump right in, because we all need more imaginary problems to worry about. :)

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 can communicate with formal or a little informal English, Sal. But some phrases or words you guys use I might not understand. And sometimes, I find myself make people to misunderstand my idea. So that's the point. (still don't know if you get my point exactly or not. @@)

Ty, my babci was from Poland. She spoke broken English but I understood her perfectly. If I say anything that's not clear to you, speak up and I'll do my best to better explain.

Oh! I would say it's so weird that Sal even say no with his selection at the very beginning.

Ok let's pick the team by order from me:

I was initially reading this thread on my cell phone and somehow missed Sal's post where he explained why he skipped Sal.

My apologies, Sal. :) That certainly *is* a perfectly reasonable, rational explanation.

I would have voted the team down anyway, simply because I don't like to just "throw away" a mission. Yes, the odds are on the side of Resistance that the first team will be clean - but good odds are not a guarantee. If the spies are going to win a round, I want to at least make them sweat for it. :D
