Once again, turmoil is brewing in the underground crime world of New York. The city is slowly being taken over by La Cosa Nostra, the New York underground mafia. They are recruiting members at record numbers and they can be seen in every night club and bar scaring away customers. And now Joseph Hollis, the High Philosopher of the Order of Socrates, and mayor of New York, has learned of a secret plan by his rival faction, La Cosa Nostra, to go on a crime spree and make off with money, valuables, and ultimate control of various establishments in New York.

Mr. Hollis, being not only concerned with the livelihoods of the patrons of his city, but also with his rival faction gaining too much power, has decided to put together a team of trusted Order of Socrates resistance operatives to foil the plans of La Cosa Nostra. Unfortunately, there has been a lot of attrition lately, and certain people have been going to the highest bidder to offer their services as a spy working from within the Order of Socrates. Joseph is aware of this and he's put together the best possible team he can think of, but unwittingly will be inviting some spies for La Cosa Nostra to his team of operatives.

As long as the loyal Order of Socrates operatives can figure out whom amongst them is untrustworthy, their mission should be a success. But if they trust the wrong people, La Cosa Nostra will succeed and cause severe damage to the New York economy, while gaining enough power to take over the city.

Will the mayor and his team be able to restore order to New York? Or will the underground mafia, take over the city's resources? That's for you to decide in this version of The Resistance: Order of Socrates Restores Order

The results of the vote on Eden's MISSION 2 Proposal are in.

Eden proposed a team of:
- Serges
- Eden Zweig
- Ms Helen
- Illicit

This mission proposal has been APPROVED by a vote of 7-3. The votes are as follows:

Serges YES
Eden Zweig YES
Jason Arends YES
Cekuray YES
biggie528 NO
Molly Maltese YES
Illicit YES
M. Lacrimosa NO
Ms Helen NO
Riza Hawkeye YES

The mission is now ready to proceed. Eden Zweig, Serges, Illicit and Ms Helen must PM me whether they vote to SUCCEED or whether they vote to SABOTAGE the mission.

** Remember Resistance members must vote SUCCEED, while Spies may choose to vote either SUCCEED or SABOTAGE

Serges is currently holding the IN THE SPOTLIGHT ability, so he can force one of the team members to post their action publicly. Serges, would you like to use that ability for this mission?

And I was thinking of Riza and Marc when I previously said "I'd like to check out someone who said yes"

Jason's in the basket lol.

Biggie, Ms Helen, and Marc... hmm

Hmmm... to put Ms Helen in the spotlight or not to...

I say no. I don't think my use of the card would force her to change her play (assuming she has an option to begin with), because she knows the spies are in an early hole and may play Sabotage (assuming she's a spy) even if she's in the spotlight.

I'll hold it for now.

Serges I believe that was the best move. This is getting better :)

that seems like a smart move. Or maybe you know she's not, because you are. :)

no because Ms Helen is also in the bag. She'll be revealed if she votes "no". So Serges won't waste his card on her :)

Biggie, sit back and relax. The Resistance is going to win.

...unless you're actually a spy. In which case, keep futilely trying to implicate me. It's kind of adorable.

The team of OOS operatives took a different approach this time and hid outside the building of Sami's. Each team member was stationed outside a different side of the building, as there were four entrances. They waited all night until the sun came up, but there was no action. When Sami showed up and saw Eden at the front door, he started asking questions. At that point Eden called to the rest of the team and they all met out front. They were confused as to what happened because Mayor Hollis was pretty certain that this was the time the hit was planned. The team decided to have some breakfast and coffee before reporting back to the Mayor.

As they were sitting around their breakfast table, Sami ran out from the back room. "It's gone! It's all gone! My life savings!"

The four members sat there and looked at one another. What had happened?
Mission 2 consisting of a team of Serges, Eden Zweig, Ms Helen, and Illicit was a FAILURE.

The team members voted as follows:
???? SABOTAGE
???? SUCCESS
???? SUCCESS
???? SUCCESS

Jason Arends is up next to propose the team for Mission 3 and to hand out the special abilities.

Reminder of player order:
Serges
Eden Zweig
Jason Arends
Cekuray
biggie528
Molly Maltese
Illicit
M. Lacrimosa
Ms Helen
Riza Hawkeye

I will write up the mission details and give Jason his abilities in a few minutes.
