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.

*my judgment

Also I'm not sure if this counts as tipping spies off to strategy, but I'm now 99% sure that Ty is a spy. If he was Res, he should have been DEAD-against a team of Sal, shell, Bela + Sindy, and he's been very observant all throughout, I'm sure he didn't just overlook the fact that both his spies are on the team.

The reason I voted NO for that team is because at this point the person I have the most confidence that they might be Resistance is Zara so I was hoping I was right about her and that would give us at least a fighting chance that the 5th team wouldn't be full of spies.

The team you proposed Shell is probably as good a team as any and I almost voted yes because it had Zara and myself on it but I have no idea if Sindy is telling the truth or lying. Just in case she is telling the truth, no way could I vote yes if they do happen to be, especially when I'm not sure if I should trust Shell.

Sorry everyone, I've been very busy today packing and last minute shopping for my big adventure.

So here is the team
Sal
Bela
Shell
Sindy
Miss snopes

I'm sending in my vote now.

Also if it is alright with the announcer I will send in my mission vote if this team is accepted.

I will most likely not be able to get any cell reception until I get back Friday evening.
So Im not sure how you all want to handle the last mission. If you want to continue on while I'm gone go right ahead. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Zara, I for one know you are *not* a spy.

If Bela Talbot III is not a spy in this game I will personally send each and every one of you (except Bela, Ty and Aspen) $50,000 Sleuth dollars.

Well, I guess if Bela is not a spy (fat chance) she should get the $50,000k too.

Sindy, I'm beginning to think that having an official Resistance Sweepstakes would be a great idea for the next game. And maybe everyone playing in Noir would be free to make a wager - not just those actually playing the game. Could make things very interesting!
