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

Are you taking me seriously! The truth of the matter is, no one can figure out anything just by talking or staying silent.

As for me, I'm sporting time away with a little bit of role playing. Maybe lying a little, maybe not.

Bu... If you have a little knowledge of combinatorics, you won't be needing any of my mumbo jumbo.

Ok I think I'm voting no, just in case serges and eden are in cahoots.

Honestly, I don't mind if people vote "no" to this mission. Like I said, this was a bit of fact-finding on my end, putting Ms. Helen in the mix.

With her claiming to vote "No" though on a mission including herself because she suspects me and Eden, it actually leads me to believe she is also Resistance. If she were a spy, she'd know she was the only spy on this mission, and could easily let it pass, sabotage it, and lay blame on me or Eden.

Here's what I know: Me, Eden, and Illicit are confirmed (to me at least) as Resistance. That means that 4 of the 7 other players are spies, which means the odds are just over 50% that any given person is playing to lose in talking about this mission.

I think it will succeed, because the only "potential" spy is Ms Helen and I'm by no means convinced she is, but again, I get if people want to vote "NO" on it...especially a certain 4 of you! If it fails though, I'm comfortable because Eden is next up, and should (knowing he and I are clean) propose a slight variation on the mission I proposed.

...on second thought though, re: Ms. Helen;

Maybe she DOESN'T want this to go through because she is a spy, and both Eden and I would know her allegiance if she sabotaged. Thus, she might feel forced to succeed it, and that would put the spies down 1 mission. Maybe her "NO" vote is an effort to get a proposal in place that doesn't include 2 "confirmed" Resistance operatives... still too soon to form an opinion.

Exactly Serges. That's why there's no way of knowing what's going on.

If we got it, and if she's a spy-she knows we aren't- then the mission is very likely to succeed. But this way, no one among us will be able to blow her cover.

Resistance people think about it. If we were all spies, would it really be wise to hope that the team gets approval?
