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.

And you, Bela, just confirmed to me that *you* are a spy.

Why on earth would I call NO CONFIDENCE on my own team that I could have sabotaged if I had wanted to? Because I had two other spies on my team? Why would I have put them on my team? If I was a spy, I would *not* have passed up that opportunity.

What you're saying makes absolutely *no* sense, Bela.

So, I guess the shooting match has begun - only this time we really are on opposite sides.

Ty if you are Resistance please reveal yourself to me.
@ Sindy having too many things revealed to one player is a bad idea, if what you are saying is correct, then Ty revealing himself to me makes more sense. If you are lying and you and Ty are both spies( or even you just a spy) then revealing to you will only help the spies.

Unless of course *you're* a spy, Shell. :p

You're probably right - it's just I'm the only one that I know for a fact is resistance. Ty, reveal yourself to whomever you think will benefit the Resistance the most - if you are indeed resistance.

Jul-29-2017 16:13

Of course, you can always reveal yourself to Bela, too, Ty. But I wouldn't believe a word she says.

Jul-29-2017 19:34

A Failure...

OK! As you want, Sindy, I reveal my allegiance to you, Sindy. I think it's better for me to know more from your confirm about your and Aspen's allegiances.

Jul-29-2017 19:54

All relevant information has been sent to Sindy.

Sindy, please propose a team of five people. Then everyone must PM me "Mission 4, Team 1: YES/NO" within 24 hours after the proposal. As a reminder, this mission requires two sabotages in order to fail.

Jul-29-2017 20:17

Thanks so much, Ty, for revealing to me that you too are a spy!

I can't say I'm too shocked.

For my team I choose:

Myself (of course)
Shell Marple
Miss Snopes
Zara Bande and
Sal

I don't know which is the spy - Sal or Bela, but they need two spies two sabotage this mission. But the Resistance needs to figure out very quickly which one it is.

Jul-29-2017 20:19

How can you as resistance know that I am resistance? I stand by my rebuttal to Bela's slanderous accusations.

Jul-29-2017 20:43

My third spy suspect, after reading through the posts again and knowing for sure who two of the spies are, is Zara Bande.

Jul-30-2017 00:39

Your *third* suspect, Sindy?

Reading over the several posts you yesterday it sounds as if you have selected at least 5 spies:

- Ty and Aspen: due to what you claim The Announcer's PMs revealed
- Bela: see your statements given above at Jul-29-2017 14:16 and Jul-29-2017 16:13
- Zara: because my reasoning on the use of power cards and an earlier 6-1 vote differs from yours
- Sal: you have voiced suspicion against Sal - as others have - throughout the game (albeit you suddenly see to abandon this)

As I believe that Bela is most definitely a spy, and Sal is very likely to be also, I cannot accept that both Aspen AND Ty are spies. As yet I've made no decision which way to vote on this team. I look forward to hearing other players' views.
