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.

Ooh, it'd be great if we could check on shell. She is picking the next team and distributing powers and all, and this is info Sal will get via PM; that link will tell us a few things in time too.

So the info is PM'd? Well, that makes it pretty useless ultimately. I thought it would be posted. :/

Meaning, we won't know if Sal is telling the truth or not...

Wow someone is doubly excited to check on how I voted. I have no problems with that.

Sal, I hope the weather is nicer there than here, or else your golf day is one muggy mess.

I have asked the announcer if it is still my power to use KEEPING an eye on you. If I can, I will use it.
I did play last night (5pm) shell and it was still warm and muggy but better than it had been earlier. I got a call from a cousin who needed a ride to Albany for tests and a consultation, her ride had fallen though and she was stuck. So that's what I did today - no golf.

Okay, the announcer has said I can use the power. Here goes. Since it seems to be the popular will that we check on shell's vote, here we go.

I wish to use KEEPING AN EYE ON YOU power on shell marple.
