You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I have Gmail so I archived what was in my inbox from you and I think I won't see it again as long as you don't reply to anything in it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I saw it, unfortunately, before you sent out the second one.

Uh-oh. Is the game tainted? Do you have information you really really shouldn't? Is there a Dollhouse nearby?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yes, yes, and it's been riding around in my car all weekend. (Seriously. There's a dollhouse in the boot of my car.) I'm developing a suite of possible responses. Stay tuned.

Went to a game night. Played a couple rounds of two new (to me) games. Tsuro by the Sea & Resistance. Both quite fun! Resistance was a hoot. We had 8 players. So, it was really interesting to see how folks behaved when they were a spy vs when they weren't. Reminded me a bunch of BSG. Only plays quicker, and TONS more suspicions.

Yep, I love Resistance. It's basically BSG if it were nothing but skill checks.

So, here's the situation. Last night I sent out an email to a player. Unfortunately, instead of hitting 'Forward', I hit 'Send All', and it was sent out to every player. It contained details of the intended recipient's hand, which may also be sufficient to identify them. More seriously, it also contained some commentary that could serve to identify the recipient's loyalty.
In order to restore conditions of secrecy, I'll need to take some corrective action. Here's what I'm thinking:
1. Concerning loyalty, I can retrieve the player's loyalty cards and deal him or her a new one. A more comprehensive fix would be to retrieve everyone's cards and redo all loyalty from scratch. Only three turns in, I don't think any changes of loyalty would cause excessive whiplash. Nonetheless my preference is to keep the list of changes as small as possible.
2. Concerning the revealed skill cards, I believe the best option is to take those cards and shuffle them back into their respective decks, then deal out replacements to the player in question.
(As we're just on turn 3, we could just start over again, but that seems a bit drastic.)
What does everyone think? Is this ok with everyone, or does anyone have another suggestion??

That sounds reasonable and less work than starting over again.
