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.

Okay, I see what you're saying now, Ty.

Ty, I'm pretty sure they are single use cards.

Well, Ty, here we are with the same players so if I'm a spy I'm potentially putting myself on yet another team with another spy and running the risk of outing two spies at once or throwing yet another mission by "laying low."

Oh. I was about to suggest that you redistribute the cards then and that the announcer would probably let you if he hadn't validated it yet, but he has; I just missed it at first.

Mission 2, Team 1: NO.

OPINION MAKER is a permanent effect (but single use) card. NO CONFIDENCE and KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON YOU

Oops. Accidentally hit post through a mysterious series of key presses before I was done.

The NO CONFIDENCE and KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON YOU cards are single use cards; the first can veto ONE approved mission proposal and the second can help the owner see the SUCCESS/SABOTAGE vote a target player sent the Announcer *after* mission results have been declared - you can only use it once.

There's a pretty good chance the first mission floated because the spies didn't want to blow their cover (like you and Sindy have pointed out); if there is a spy on that team, they will definitely sabotage the mission because they can't afford to be down 2-0. Add another person to the mix (because the mission needs 4 people) and of course the spies will come out of hiding. But don't listen to me, I'm just a team-rejecting spy.

Ok. I think I got familiar with your way, Bela. We might talk if there are sth new. If not, I respect your way. (actually I am tired of arguing with you :P)

Back to the proposed team, we have new member, Sal. I would expect that the result will be THE SAME as the last mission EXCEPT you, Sal. Please say something so I can know more before I made my decision.
