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

Same for me on this one. I'm really not sure I trust how easily everyone figures out their resistance. Plus, I didn't see you guys at the meeting! I brought cookies!

This should be the last time I vote no just for fact finding though. I think it's hard to figure out who's who when it's the same team every time.

Ok Sleuthers here is the problem with voting no for fact finding...the game isn't primarily about sussing out who is what faction. That is the fun and frustrating part but primarily it is about getting through missions without getting sabotaged. While trying to work out who is a spy is important if you have a team that you know is safe there isn't any reason to vote it down even if you don't know who may be spies outside of that team.

Sound logic Illicit, but surely we don't know this team is safe?

Illicit that's exactly what I have been trying to say.

This game isn't about fact-finding. It's about winning anyhow.

You should remember that we used our cards on one another, as team members, in general.

You should also remember that unless we are both spies or both resistance, we'd be revealing one another as enemies. Up until now, we haven't.

Finally, remembering that Resistance/Spy = 3/2 and adding all these facts up then begs the following question: who's most likely to become the leader? A Resistance member, or a Spy?

Ms Helen didn't approve the mission, but when the voting was over, she wanted it to succeed.

If we were all spies, one of us could easily abort it and none of you would have known who.

Sorry for my long posts :)
