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.

Shell my back to back post was prompted by Zara and AspenK's reaction to my request that Sal use his spotlight card on me. You'll have to make of it what you will because evidently no matter *what* I say it will seem suspicious to someone. I just don't relish the idea of being the fall guy if this mission fails.

I'm going to use my NO CONFIDENCE card.

Jul-8-2017 13:19

Yes, Shell, I believe Sal may be a spy. I don't *know* that he's a spy, however. I'm keeping a very open mind both ways on everyone right now. And, yes it leads to some contradicting thoughts. But it's important that we find out who the spies because in the last two rounds we have to be spot on as to who the spies are and make sure we have all resistance players on those missions.

What I'm trying to say is that while I suspect Sal is a spy, I can't afford to put him in the spy column definitely because in doing so I may let an as yet undetected spy through the net. There's just not enough information out there. Hence my position from the very beginning that sending out a few teams on the first mission doesn't hurt and can in fact be helpful in gathering information.

Sindy has used NO CONFIDENCE. Leadership has moved on to Aspen. Aspen, please propose a team of four people.

Hmm. I kinda feel like I have been seeing the same names repeated and I want to mix things up a bit. Of course I will chose myself, I know I can trust me, but who else.

Jul-8-2017 16:07

I guess I will go down the line from myself. I have yet to make any observations about shell marple, so that could be good. Bela kinda strikes me as the spy type, but last game she acted the same way and she was resistance so I have got a good feeling about her. I pick a team of Bela, Shell Marple, and myself.

Please select one more person, Aspen. :)

Sorry, I was so drunk with power I forgot to pay attention.
