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

I was wrong once. I admitted it, and voted against the mission I proposed incorrectly.

And I voted no in the beginning to the first couple of missions because I wanted to see how the votes played out, not because it meant I would KNOW who the spies were.

Either a) you've completely misunderstood me (which is a fair guess because I can be kind of confusing), or b) you're trying to assign motivations to me that don't exist.

Seeing that you're a spy, I have to think b is probably the right option there. And fine, that's part of the game to try to throw people off your trail. Unfortunately, I think that's backfired on you this time. All your protesting does is make you look more guilty, and you can't come up with a cohesive argument as to why you're not except that "Serges says so".

I've said it before and I'll say it again. One of the many reasons I love Serges so is BECAUSE he's a sneaky weasel. And he's made you his pawn.

I almost feel sorry for you. Except for the dirty spy part ;)

Yikes guys like 2 pages of reading. Ive already said who the spies were, none of you are listening. :)

Next mission!

Jun-27-2012 09:46

No. See there's a fine line between a mistake and a lie.

Backfired this time? Says who, we're the only ones who've been posting and you're applying commercial business tactics here.

Fortunately, I don't start to think that I have a problem when someone asks me "what's the problem?" that tactic is for birds. and there ain't no birds here.

I'm no one's pawn. Serges and I know each other's identity because nicnic told us.

As for spies like you, they don't need to know that. They can start scheming from the beginning.

But we got Jason
we got Ms Helen
we got Marc, and you turned out just like we imagined,
we got you, Biggie.

No one is allowed to scheme in this game, remember?

Other people aren't posting yet because they aren't on. I'm sure when they get here, they will see the logic in my arguments.

This is merely a classic case of he said she said. All I'm saying is I didn't vote to sabotage. Serges lied. There's no reason for him to lie unless he's a spy. If he's a spy, you're a spy.

Itd be just like him to play the game this way. On the other hand, as much as you say my decisions don't make sense, they don't make sense if I'm a spy either. I'm equal opportunity stupid. ;)

Jun-27-2012 09:57

Logic? You have none in your arguments and that has been the very reason I started asking you questions and saying that you are a spy.

Serges never lied. You sabotaged the game and before you there have NEVER been 2 sabotages in the teams we were in.

And by we , I intend to mean Serges, Illicit and I.

They make a lot of sense when you are a spy. It's just that you overlooked the better chance of winning you had. But it makes sense trying to stay unidentified.

Jun-27-2012 10:00

Don't try to rope poor Illicit in with you. Unless she's a spy as well, of course.

If I'm so smart, how would I overlook the chance at winning? Also, if I'm so smart, why wouldn't I have sabotaged any other missions I've been on??

You SAY Serges never lied. I say he did. This was the only mission that NEEDED two saboteurs, so of course you both had to sabotage this time. There'd be no reason for two in any other round.

Jun-27-2012 10:00

I think you don't have to communicate one another to figure out getting one spy in a team will do except for the last mission :)

Jun-27-2012 10:01

Which basically just proves your a spy. Why would you even be thinking that way unless you were??

Jun-27-2012 10:07

And further, if that's the case, how come the spies are LOSING?

Jun-27-2012 10:09

I have never commented on how smart you are; I said I didn't take you seriously when you tried to fool people with the "stupid and innocent" card. You are trying to digress from the main point by demagogy.

Biggie you tried to stay unidentified. That's the reason you voted "succeed" before. If you think I'm going to give up repeating that, you are wrong :)

We would win the game already if Serges and I were spies: But we'd have to get others on team to stay unknown.

I hope you can answer that one day (two spies deliberately in a game since mission 1 ). I said the same thing days ago, you said I was right because it was too logical an argument to be defetated and now that you think it's all over and people have forgotten it, you try to avoid it and keep accusing us being spies because you know you have no show to put up anymore other than this little bit of social engineering you've been up to :)

2 saboteurs, exactly just when marc and you were in the same team and not before, when Serges and I and Illicit were in it multiple times.
