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.

No, one else on this mission will get cards, but on the next mission someone will get cards. I prefer that be Shell or you. Therefore, even though I believe the team I picked is the cleanest possible on this mission, I ask to have it voted down so AspenK does not get power cards. Anything she might reveal to us will be misleading.

Yes, of course I may not want her to get power cards so she can't reveal anything damaging about me. HOWEVER, if I was a spy and could convince you to vote for this team the spies would win and it wouldn't matter anyway. However, I am Resistance and Resistance needs to win two missions.

I'm at a loss as how to vote on this team. If what you say is true Sindy then there is only one spy on this team and it will go through with 5 successful votes. But if I'm to believe others then you are potentially a spy and the chances of another spy being on this team is likely.

I understand, Shell.

I'm not asking you to vote this team through - even though it is as clean as I can make at this point. Because if this team is approved and succeeds - which it will if approved - that moves us on to Mission 5, Team 1 and AspenK will get the power cards distributed at the beginning of the new mission. AspenK is a spy and will not help the Resistance determine who the third spy is. I want to make sure the power cards get into your hands or Missy's because you are the most likely to be Resistance IMHO. Hopefully you or Missy will get some power cards that will help you determine who the third spy is - or determine if I'm telling the truth if you haven't already done so by then.

@shell. You say: “I'm at a loss as how to vote on this team. If what you say is true Sindy then there is only one spy on this team and it will go through with 5 successful votes. But if I'm to believe others then you are potentially a spy and the chances of another spy being on this team is likely.”

But actually, according to Sindy’s reasoning there are at least 2 potential spies on this team - myself and Sal.

However, if you believe that Sindy is lying (which is, at the very least, an equally strong possibility), then there are potentially 3 spies on the team: Sindy, Sal and shell.

I also think that this team combination is another attempt to link my name with the potential SABOTAGE vote(s) of any of those three players/spies in order to confuse the RESISTANCE even further.

But, whichever way you choose to look at it, this team combination is very likely to contain at least 2 spies.

I am sorry, people. I am exhausted from my work since yesterday. I will give more opinion when I feel better.

@ Zara

What does it matter if your name is linked to a potential SABOTAGE of this Mission? If the Mission is sabotaged, the game is over and the spies have won. You can then either celebrate your victory or lick your wounds of defeat. I don't understand what you're suggesting?

Um no Sindy - there may be only ONE sabotage vote - in which case its 2:2 for each side. Trying to link a RESISTANCE member to a SABOTAGE vote is one way to try and get them excluded from the final mission - and thus have the spies win the overall game.

What I meant Zara was, if Sindy is to be believed, she had already found 2 of the 3 spies. Aspen and Ty. So it can't be two more spies on this team, only one. Now of course that all depends on whether or not we believe Sindy.

The biggest *if* in the whole of the game so far ...
