Resistance I - London Calling
+ Show Spoiler [Important Posts] +
Introduction:
Resistance is also an educated guessing game of epic proportions. The objective of the game is to find the spies and complete missions without their interference. It's much like a game of poker because the spies are also part of the town during the day and may manipulate the vote to their liking. Town win if 3 out of 5 possible missions end in a success. The spies win if they infiltrate and sabotage 3 missions first.
The game is typically very active, so the thread will get big quickly. However, it is essential to read the thread to play the game. If you do not have the time or patience to read the whole thread, do not play. I will not compensate for ignorance.
How to play Resistance:
The game is played with 9 players, split between 2 teams, 6 Town and 3 Spies. The objective for Town is to complete 3 missions, the objective of the Spies is to sabotage 3 missions, and since missions can only succeed or fail, the game is over within 5 missions.
The game begin with the day phase. Using a standard round-robin format, one among the players is designated the leader and gets to suggest a team of a few players, which may include the leader himself, who are sent on a mission to sabotage a facility of the Occupation. Everyone votes on if they accept or reject the proposed team, if it is rejected then the next player in line becomes leader and gets to suggest his own team, if it is accepted then we immediately move to the night phase.
During the nightphase the spies who are sent on the mission send PMs to the hosts about whether they help or sabotage the mission. Town may only aid the mission, while spies may choose to aid or sabotage the mission. If enough spies sabotage, then the mission fail (1 sabotage is required on most days, 2 on day 4). After the night phase a new day phase begin, with the next player in line for leader suggesting his team.

Spam:
Spam is not tolerated, nor is any off-topic material. Do not discuss Proleague here. Do not talk about Starcraft II here. Play Mafia here.
Editing:
Editing is not allowed for any reason. Editing will result in a warning. After that, you will be replaced. This is the one part of the site where it is okay to be double posting, even triple-posting. While I ask for everybody to post as concisely as possible, post again if you have to edit anything.
Inappropriate posts:
If you want to post something insulting or inappropriate and know the TL mods would have a problem with it elsewhere, don't post it here. If you do, a host will warn you or replace you and request that you be banned from future games. The hosts have the final say on what is inappropriate. If you do not like how someone is talking to you, please PM a host, Flamewheel, or Mig before involving the TL staff. If you are unsatisfied with how the situation is resolved, then you can appeal to the TL staff normally.
Reporting posts:
The report button is a nice feature for regular TL, but not for this forum. We prefer to deal with things in house if possible to avoid confusion among the TL staff. If you have a problem with how someone is posting, talk to the host, co-host, Flamewheel, or Mig before using your report button. Please do not use your report button for anything other than inappropriate posts which you feel are not being dealt with adequately.
Ban discussions:
Please wait until this game is over to talk about replacements and bans resulting from this game.
Play to win.
This means you play your best to help your team win while you are alive and in the game. However, this does not mean that you should try to win by being a jerk to the other players so they all want to quit playing.
This also means that you cannot leave the game without a good reason without a ban. These situations will be dealt with on a case by case basis. PM your host if you need to leave the game.
You have been warned.
Out of thread communication:
Resistance does NOT use any form of out-of-thread communication, not even between spy members. Communication between spies is handled in the thread.
Day phase Voting rules:
1. Voting is done in a separate thread, located Here. Only votes in that thread are counted. Do not PM me your vote.
2. If you are the current leader, suggest your team in the voting thread and use the following format: ##Team: A, B, C, D, E. You may propose a team in advance, but you may not change your team once you become leader.
3. During the first mission, 3 players are needed. During the 2nd and 3rd mission, 4 are sent, and during the 4th and fifth mission, 5 players are part of the team.
4. Please vote in the following format: ##Vote LeaderName: Yay or ##Vote LeaderName: Nay. Votes not done in the correct fashion will not be counted. I will update vote counts whenever I get the chance.
5. No conditional voting.
6. You may vote for your own team.
7. Once a team has 5 Yay votes, it is accepted, the game immediately moves on to the Night phase with the suggested team sent on a mission, even if none of the hosts are online at that time. If a team has 5 Nay votes at any one time, it is immediately rejected and the team of the next leader in line is up for the vote.
8. You can vote for a leaders Team before he has become leader. If a leader has 5 yay-votes when proposing his team, the game goes to night immediately.
9. You may vote against the current leaders team before he/she has proposed a team. This is to prevent problems with the leader being offline for an extended period of time.
10. Voting is not mandatory.
11. If a team has not been decided on by the end of the day phase, the mission automatically fail!
Night phase rules:
1. If you are chosen to go on a mission and is Town, you do not need to send in a nightaction, you automatically aid the mission.
2. If you are chosen to go on a mission and is a Spy, you are aiding the mission on default, if you wish to sabotage then you need to send a PM to both hosts informing them that you are sabotaging the mission.
3. A mission fail if even one spy sabotages it, exception the 4th mission, which require 2 spies sabotaging to fail.
4. Everyone is informed if the mission succeeded or failed, and exactly how many spies sabotaged the mission.
Signups:
This game is open to anyone. Signups will remain open until all 9 spots have been filled. This is not a first-come-first-served game, the hosts reserve the option to invite selected players.
Game-specific rules:

This game follows the TL Mafia Ban List. If you force us to replace you, then your punishment will go beyond being eliminated from this game. Please refer to it for questions about your punishment. If you want to use this game to sit out your ban, please PM Flamewheel or post in the Ban List.
