Mob history is to be made tonight, and you are along for the ride.

Sonny Capellini, The La Cosa Nostra boss of the Brooklyn area and a few of his closest compatriots were found dead in his home two nights ago, victims of blasts from sawed-off shotguns. Fuggheddaboudit. Theories suspect rival Emil "The Butcher" Bocelli, a higher-up with no small means at his disposal. Emil wanted to assume his place as the top man in the Brooklyn outfit.

However, the Santanelli's have cracked open the books and are hesitant to appoint the wild-card Bocelli, for fear they might have trouble from him later on down the line. They favor Jimmy "Legs" Tarabotti, a well-respected mobster who has no beef against the Santanelli's. However, La Cosa Nostra isn't about to lose more manpower over this.

Jimmy "Legs" Tarabotti has been sent for, and if he makes it to the meeting in a warehouse on 34th tonight at midnight, he will assume the mantle of the entire Brooklyn outfit. If he doesn't make it, the outfit goes to Bocelli.

You are a close-knit crew of Tarabotti's supporters, but word on the street is that Bocelli bribed a few of his men to the other side. Its possible, with their sabotage, that Tarabotti will be dead far before midnight. Only the final strike of the clock will tell.
Can you keep Legs Tarabotti alive until he becomes the most untouchable man in New York? Find out in this game of...The Resistance!

Playing in rhyme will frustrate you I know,
My steps will be cautious, my cadence quite slow,
and you'll have to wait and sit on your thumbs.
Work on your spreadsheet, tighten your sums!
Ready I'll be, when ready I am,
I'm sorry, so, sorry, but wait you will ma'am.

1. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY- (the player who gets this card must use it immediately) The Player must take a role card from another player.

2. STRONG LEADER- The player may use this card to become the leader for a round. You may only use this before the current leader has performed an action.

3. NO CONFIDENCE- The player may play this card after a successful vote to cause it to fail, forcing a leadership change.


This game is confusing and I really don't think
that my choices are sound, they're quite on the brink.
So Marc Lacrimosa you get NONE of my time,
I just wanted to say your name's not good in rhyme!

So Skill 1 I pass on to me, don't you know
For I think that I know how this game just might go,
STRONG LEADER I give to Riza Hawkeye,
She's quiet and crafty, but I don't think a spy,

Now Skill 3 I pass on to my friend nicnic,
I don't like her style, I think it's too slick,
but she's not likely to play out her hand and be caught
so that skill should be safe, well I think... so I thought.

So I'm lead to believe that Skill 1 I must use, [doh]
and for better or worse one of two I abuse.
Good advice tells me that I was mistaken
That the no confidence skill I should have taken.
So as much as I love you, nic, I'm taking your skill
I'm sure that you'll read into this, some kind of ill-will.
Your spreadsheet no doubt has just gone into red
And voices are arguing deep in your head.
But I'm only learning, and feeling my way
I'd like you to help me, please say what you'll say.

For my first team, I think I'll have to be smart,
I choose biggie and me, and yes even Marc.

(marc and smart totally rhyme)

Maybe I'm just paranoid on the first mission but its interesting that you gave those cards to people who aren't on the mission. No accusations are going to be made from me yet. But I'll go ahead and PM my vote.

Just to be fair that isn't quite true
I gave a skill to myself, in the long run gave two,
So two of the three skills are on this team
I'm not totally sure you know just what you mean.

hmmm

But if Marc was a spy that's just what I'd say
cast blame on the others, then play how I play.
Now I don't know if I've made a mistake,
Argh!! I'm channelling nicnic, oh for goodness sake!

Doesn't Take Responsibility have to be used immediately, thus rendering its power useless now? You can't hold onto it and use it later.

Also... squirrelly are you trying to drive me insane???????
