The Resistance Part 24
This is a game for 5 to 10 players. Normally, the players handle the organisation of the game themselves, but for a number of reasons this is not possible on a forum. Therefore, the game will be held under the auspices of a GM.
The players will be given a Role through PM, either Spy or Resistance. The Spies will be informed of the identities of the other Spies. Distribution of the Roles depends on the number of players:
The GM will also determine the order in which players will become Leader and assign the first Leader in a public post.
Game Play
The game consists of between three and five Rounds; each Round is comprised of a Team Building phase and a Mission phase.
Build the Team
The Team Building phase consists of the Leader picking the players that he would like on the Mission Team followed by all the players Voting to Approve or Reject the Mission Team.
For each Mission, the Leader chooses a predetermined amount of players, possibly including himself, according to the following table:
Once the Leader posts his proposal in public, all players must vote to either APPROVE or REJECT. the proposed Team in public. Players may vote in secret by PM, though, if they prefer. The stated intentions do not have to agree with the vote sent to the GM, but the latter is the one that counts if there is a discrepancy. Again, players have the option to vote by PM, but they ought to also state something about their intentions regarding the current vote in the the thread.
The Mission Team is approved if the majority of Votes approved and fails if a majority rejected the assignments; a tied vote is also a rejection. If the Mission Team is approved, play continues in the Mission phase. If the Mission Team is rejected, the Leader passes to the next player in line and the Team Building phase is repeated.
Every player gets to have their vote count double one time per game.
In order to enable this ability, you must say so in a PM to the GM. Players can say whatever they want in regard to using or not using their double-vote the game thread, but whether or not this ability is used will be based upon what they say to the GM privately.
The Spies win the game if five Mission Teams are rejected in a single Round.
Conduct the Mission
Each player on the Mission Team must Vote to either SUPPORT or SABOTAGE the Mission through PM to the GM. Resistance players must SUPPORT the Mission, Spies have the choice between SUPPORT and SABOTAGE.
The Mission is successful only if every player on the Team supports it; if one or more sabotages occur, the Mission fails. Note that with games of 7 players or more, the 4th Mission requires at least two sabotages to fail.
The GM announces the result of the Mission shortly after the deadline in an update without revealing who did what. However, the number of SABOTAGE orders, if any, will be noted. The Leader passes to the next in line and the next Round starts.
Example of a Round
Round Begins:
1. The new leader distributes cards, if there are any. Only the first leader per round receives cards to distribute. *See Special Note on Card below for more information about cards.
2. The leader proposes a team.
3. Players vote on whether to APPROVE or REJECT the team proposed by the leader.
4. Members of the proposed team pre-load their SUPPORT or SABOTAGE orders to the GM via PM.
5. At deadline the team will be either approved or rejected. A tie is considered a rejected team.
6. If the team was APPROVED, GM will state in the update whether or not the mission was SUCCESSFUL or FAILED based on the team members' pre-loaded orders. A new round begins with a new leader who has new cards to distribute and proposes another team.
7. If the team is REJECTED, the game stays in the Team Building phase. The next leader in line then proposes a team. The cycle repeats until a team is APPROVED. Once a mission is completed, whether SUCCESSFUL or FAILED, a new round starts.
Victory
The cycle of Team building and Mission continues until one side scores 3 missions: the Resistance must have 3 successful missions while the Spies want 3 failed missions. Remember that the Spies also win if they can have 5 Teams rejected in the same Round.
General Information on Voting and Mission Orders
Each player must Vote in during Team Building phase.
Each player on the Mission must Vote by PM to the GM in the Mission phase.
If a team is not approved, nothing regarding the mission orders for that team will be revealed.
Formalities
All communication between players must occur in the public thread. PMs between players are NOT allowed, neither are phone calls, talking in another thread, letting things slip while having a drink, etc. No private conversations about this game, period.
Each player is solely responsible for clearly communicating to the GM and the other players. This is especially crucial for the Leader. He has a number of statements to make in public, like who gets what Plot Card and his Mission Team proposals. Both of these may be discussed in public beforehand, however, at some point a clear and final statement must be made.
