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

What a spy :)

I wanted to keep it short, so that's why I chose to write it in numbers. But it seems I didn't need to do that because it seems you have to fail 5 "successive" missions to win the game anyway.

I'll skip the math part from now on. (in advance: no not taking it personally)

Jun-25-2012 18:16

I'm going with myself, Serges, Illicit, Eden, and Biggie.

I'm giving Serges, "I'm keeping an eye on you," as well as Biggie. I'm taking the No Confidence card.

Jun-25-2012 20:11

Marc has chosen to keep his NO CONFIDENCE ability.

Marc has chosen to give the KEEPING AN EYE ON YOU ability to both biggie and Serges.

M. Lacrimosa has made his mission proposal.

Mission 4, Team 1

Team Leader: M. Lacrimosa
Team Proposal: Serges, Eden Zweig, Illicit, biggie, M. Lacrimosa

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

Because both Cekuray and Ms Helen have the OPINION MAKER, they must post their votes here on the message board, as opposed to PMing me. You may wait to vote until these are posted.

When you do vote, please send me a PM stating "Mission 4, Team 1: YES or NO"

My vote to this mission depends on two things.

Marc, I'm just curious why you gave the other "Keeping A Close Eye On You" card to Biggie, who is not fully "cleared" as Resistance, rather than say Eden or Illicit, or even keeping it for yourself. Not accusing, just want to know the mindset.

Biggie, if this mission passed, what would you do with your power?

I know you're not OBLIGATED to answer me, but I'd like to know to figure out where everyone stands :)

Jun-25-2012 22:42

Mission 4, team 1, YES

Jun-25-2012 23:14

I agree with Serges on the curiosity to grant biggie that power. It could be used in the hands of another trusted resistance member to aid that cause, Biggie is at best a wild card. I find it statistically improbable that all 5 people on this team are Resistance, because I would be the 6th and something just doesn't sit right with this line-up. Am I just being paranoid?
and therefore that makes me suspicious because if one or more of these are a spy, why are they so gung-ho for the mission? Does it make it possible that there are two?

Maybe I'm just jumping at shadows...but...

Voting No (do I sound like a broken record yet?)

Jun-26-2012 02:42

I subscribe to Molly's post, me being the 7th Resistance. Something is wrong and I was wrong to vote YES for the mission so quickly.

* If Marc was a Resistance who suspected Biggie was a spy, he would not give the card to Biggie.

*If Marc is a Resistance member who suspects that Serges and I or either one of us are spies, then Marc would not have given the card to Serges either.

*If Marc suspects that I am a spy, but Serges isn't and gives his cards to Serges and Biggie, then this is totally ridiculous because Serges and I mutually confirmed that we were both Resistance not because we had a hunch, but because we used our cards on one another. Anyone who trusts Serges will trust me because Serges says so. Likewise, anyone who trusts me will trust Serges because I say so. An if and only if situation.

->Marc, therefore, is likely to be a spy. His past votes also lead us to think that he is.

Jun-26-2012 04:19

So I am asking the same question: Marc why would you give that card to Biggie?
