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

Biggie I forgor the 5 successive mission fails had to be for the same mission again but most of what I have said still makes a lot of sense.

Spies - Resistance score would be 2-1 if you failed it. You would be identified.

We'd have one unknown spy. That would be Marc. Most probably, since rejecting missions is no longer risky, we'd reject the proposals till it got to Serges.

However there would be a problem: We'd have to choose more people, so we'd have to get people we didn't know into the team (It is not made clear in the rules how many people the first leader is to choose when the game "wraps around") You'd STILL have a chance of winning by putting Marc in the team. Because till then Marc would vote down all the missions where spies would be the majority.

But the way you did it, you shouldn't be able to stand a chance, unless people forget that getting 2 spies in a team at the beginning would be a very stupid move on the spies' part.

The way YOU did it, you thought you had a chance.

But see here's the problem with that logic:

You're assuming that everyone believes you. Which, admittedly, I did up until now. You two have been playing us from the beginning and everyone fell for it.

The same thing happened last game, with everyone picking on me saying I was the spy and thankfully, nic finally got it and put some faith in my truth telling. I hope people will do the same now. These two are NOT to be trusted.

"But the way you did it, you shouldn't be able to stand a chance, unless people forget that getting 2 spies in a team at the beginning would be a very stupid move on the spies' part."

Also, it LOOKS like a stupid move, which is what Serges was counting on. He had a HUGE advantage by being the first to go, and then when you two used the cards on each other, it was a no brainer to identify each other as Resistance. Genius really.

you can't count on other people. thats why is a stupid move So to the countrary, it's you who thinks everyone can believe you without you backing it up.

I have as much backup as you guys do. My word is the same as anyone else's. And I don't think my moves have proven otherwise. I've explained myself at every step of the way.

No your explanations were contradicting with what you said. In fact you said so yourself.

When did I do that? Show me!

The only thing I said is that the first couple missions I voted down because I wanted to see how the voting lines went. I also posted my mission lineup because I shot my wad early (so to speak) because I got overexcited, and then I voted AGAINST that very mission because I knew I made a mistake.

I'd like to see where you find these posts. Because everything I've done and explained makes total sense to me and wasn't questioned by anyone at the time.

Eden, just give it up already. You're talking yourself in circles because you can't keep it all straight. Oh what a tangled web we weave...

If that's not pretty solid evidence, I don't know what is.
