    I'll start up a game of Resistance with me as mod/god if there are sufficient people who pm/reply with interest in playing. The rules of Resistance are very simple.
    You have 5 missions. Good people (Resistance members) want to pass the majority of the missions, while bad people (spies) want to fail them. These rules are stolen from elsewhere, the comments in parentheses are my variation on these rules.
    Rules
    • The game requires between five and ten players. (not true, it can easily be played with more, thought the balance is tricky, I'll take up to 15 people in a game. I also don't like playing with less than 7)
    • Approximately one third of the players are randomly chosen as spies; the rest are members of the Resistance.
    • The spies know who the other spies are, but Resistance members do not.
    • The game consists of up to five missions. (if we have more then 12 people, it will be a 7 mission game)
    • Each mission has a leader. The leader proposes a mission team of a certain size, which the group approves by public vote.
    • If the group does not approve the mission by a simple majority, leadership passes to the next player .
    • If the group cannot approve a mission team after a certain number of attempts, the mission fails. (also depends upon the number of players)
    • Once a mission team is chosen, it votes by secret ballot whether the mission succeeds or fails.
    • Resistance members will always vote for success, but spies have the option of voting for success or failure.
    • It usually only takes one spy on the mission team to sabotage a mission, but sometimes the fourth mission requires two. (It will require 2 for the fourth and if a 7 mission game, 2 for the sixth as well)
    • If three missions succeed, the Resistance wins. If three fail, the spies win. (In a 7 mission game, 4 missions are necessary to win or lose)
    And finally, the last, but most important rule of all:

    • You are allowed to say anything, to any one, at any time -- as long as it is said publicly. (still true)

    Other rules of mine:
    I have decided to restart this attempt at resistance using a slightly different style of play. Please read the prior instructions to ensure that you are up to date on the rules. Each leader will have 24 hours to discuss who should be on their mission. This will then be followed by a 24 hour period where you can vote whether the chosen members will go on the mission or not. Voting will be done by telling me in your role pm. Failure to vote, will result in an automatic no to the selected members of the mission. You may continue to discuss as the voting goes on. You may only vote once and upon selection, cannot change your vote. The people sent on the mission will also tell me whether or not they will pass or fail the mission when they send in their vote on whether the chosen members should go on the mission. I will reveal the votes at the end of the 24 hour period. Failing to vote will thus result in you automatically passing the mission if you are on it.

    The number of possible mission captains for a mission will be one more than the total number of spies in the game. If all of the mission captains' choices are rejected by the group, then the mission automatically fails.

    Once I get 9 people, the game will start in one hour (unless I am asleep) The maximum number of players will be 15.

    You should also read this article to ensure proper understanding of the rules: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Resistance_(game)

    It's basically all talking. Just no private conversations.

    @matcha has stated that she will be busy for a few days so I don't think she'll be able to play.
    Noted.

    She's going to china, and from the fact that she's twelve hours away from my timezone, it's safe to say that it's quite literally halfway around the world.

    Not an exaggeration to say such trip will be really busy.

    There's still this annoying friend of yours though >.<

    @Arcturus I can also help run the game if need be if you want to play a few rounds. If we're playing the actual board game it takes no longer than 30 mins max. I don't know how you want to structure this forum version though.
