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 team of OOS operatives hid out inside the Meaty Treat and waited for the mob thugs to arrive. Serges, Eden and Ms Helen each took a corner of the shop to make sure each entrance was covered. At around 2:00 am, there was a crash through the front door. Ms Helen was the closest to the entrance and she immediately leapt on top of the intruder. While she had him pinned down, Eden emerged from the dark and secured a second La Cosa Nostra robber. Serges, who was waiting in the back pulled out his gun, and aimed it at the hit's leader saying, "Nice try there boys, but this isn't going to happen. Not tonight. The police are on their way."

Mission 1 consisting of a team of Serges, Eden Zweig, and Ms Helen was a SUCCESS.

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

Eden Zweig is up next to propose the team for Mission 2 and to hand out the special abilities.

Reminder of player order:
Serges
Eden Zweig
Jason Arends
Cekuray

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

MISSION 2: Sami's

Mayor Hollis has once again learned that La Cosa Nostra is planning a hit. This time it is on Sami's Restaurant. Apparently Sami keeps all of his savings locked in a huge safe in the back office at the restaurant. La Cosa Nostra plans to take this, and once Sami is broke, they can coerce him to give them information on the goings on in his establishment. A back room at Sami's is a regular meeting place for the leadership team of Order of Socrates.

Mayor Hollis needs to stop this to ensure none of the secrets that have been discussed in the presence of Sami and his staff are leaked to La Cosa Nostra. He gives the details of the planned attack to his chosen team of operatives.

Eden Zweig is the leader for Mission 2.

Mission 2 will consist of FOUR team members.

Mayor Hollis gave the team leader three special advantages to distribute to whom he sees fit. They are:
- OVERHEARD CONVERSATION - Owner of this card learns the allegiance of either the player above or below him/her on the player list via PM from the game master.
- IN THE SPOTLIGHT - Owner of this card may force a team member on any mission to post their choice to succeed or sabotage a mission on the message board, instead of privately in PM.
- OPINION MAKER - Receiver of this card must vote first publicly whether to approve a mission for the rest of the game.

Eden should now distribute these abilities to other team members or keep one for himself.

Eden please feel free to assign these abilities whenever you are ready.

Ok. Serges, Ms Helen and Illicit will be on my team. I get the Overheard Conversation card. Let's see where Jason stands.

Serges will get "In The Spotlight" card. Ms Helen will have a hard time whether to sabotage the mission and reveal herself

Cekuray will get the Opinion Maker card. I would like to pick someone who said yes, actually. But that could be too risky.

Eden has chosen to keep his OVERHEARD CONVERSATION and find out the allegiance of Jason Arends. Eden will receive a PM from me revealing the allegiance of Jason.

Eden has chosen to give the IN THE SPOTLIGHT ability to Serges. Serges may use this ability on any mission and force a team member to post their action on the message board instead of privately.

Eden has chosen to give OPINION maker to Cekuray. For the rest of the game, Cekuray must post his vote whether to approve or reject a mission on the message board before the voting results are revealed.

Eden is free to post what has been revealed to him about Jason after he receives the information.

Eden does your initial mission proposal still stand after the information you learned?

Eden has made his mission proposal.

Mission 2, Team 1

Team Leader: Eden Zweig
Team Proposal: Serges, Eden Zweig, Ms Helen, Illicit

It is now again time for the rest of the team to vote to either approve or reject this mission proposal.

Because Cekuray has the OPINION MAKER, he must post his vote here on the message board, as opposed to PMing me. You may wait to vote until Cekuray posts his vote.

When you do vote, please send me a PM stating "Mission 2, Team 1: YES or NO"

This worked out great for us!
I'm glad you used your ability to unveil Jason Arends, Eden; it's exactly what I would have done in your shoes. Now we know that Jason's upcoming mission proposal can NOT be trusted.

In addition, I ended up with "IN THE SPOTLIGHT", which means I can make a potential spy think twice about wanting to play sabotage.

As far as this mission goes, you picked the perfect team, Eden. You, me, and Illicit are all confirmed Resistance, and Ms Helen at least "acted" Resistance, which for now is good enough for me.

The Resistance is in a GREAT position here. Assuming we win this mission, then the spies are REALLY hard-pressed to find a way to fail 3 in a row. And now that Jason is out in the open, I feel very comfortable that we could win this in only 3 missions.

Vote (YES!!!!) sent.
