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.

Sal, would you like to use KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON YOU?

A FAILURE

Let's see: We can exclude Sal because he publicly voted. Bela and shell, what is your view?

anyway, why didn't shell get a power?

Not sure why no powers. I think we need to wait to see if Sal uses Keeping A Close Eye On You before I pick a team. The Announcer, is that correct?

I have plenty to say Ty. Once I find out if I need to wait for Sal or not I'll lay it out before I pick my team. But until I know what Sal is going to do, I want to play this close to the vest.

Maybe after Sal decides what to do, you can get your power :-?

And yeah, I really want to hear from you both. We must figure out who did sabotage it. Or Sal's power can help somehow :-?

I'd like to know if Sal will be using his power first, as it's supposed to be used after results are in but before the start of the next round. After he decides, shell will get her powers and can propose a team.

I don't think I understand fully how in the spotlight works. He used it on himself before everyone votes, then he can use it again after the votes are in?

Sal has two cards. He's already used in the spotlight. Now he is being asked off he wants to use keeping a close eye on you which will allow him to see how one player of his choice voted on the mission that just failed.

I think this is the right time for using "keeping a close eye on you". Sal can use it on anyone among there of us: me, Bela or Shell. I don't mind if he uses it on me. But I really hope he will use it on shell or Bela. Hope we can find something more clear.

Then, we can count on Shell's new power (if she is a resistance, of course).

So let's see what they decide.
