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

Another correction biggie: you know for sure I am not a spy. Remember that first message nicnic sent you at the beining of the game with another 3 names in it besides you? You saw nothing of my name there. That's why you know I'm not a spy. I really think, after reading again, lines and between the lines, that the other 3 names you saw in the message, besides yours biggie, were A certain ms. Helen, a certain Marc and our old acquintance Jason Arends. Poor guy, doesn't even bother anymore defending himself.
Even if Eden and Serges looked suspicious to me as well for a while, their entire game was to expose spies. That means either selling two of their allies or the fact that they are really Resistance. Illicit, Riza, myself and Molly are resistance too. Remain the 4 names in biggie's message from nic. :)
Also, biggie, you started all your offence strategy against Eden and Serges just after 2 sabotage votes in mission 4, when you knew that the spies were exposed too much. I think you needed something to distract people's eyes of you.
To me, Marc seems to incriminate himself with almost every post he writes here.
Ms. Helen doesn't act like a Resistance member wrongly accused. Too quiet for being innocent.
Also, Serges saying that he wants to be out from the last mission seemed a bit strange, as no Resistance member will want to be left out. But I really think now that he wanted people who doubted his allegiance, to be more confortable in their voting of a team with no controverse names.
Maybe I am completely wrong, but this is my conclusion up to now: me, Riza, Molly, Eden, Illicit, Serges are Resistance.
I don't think I have nic's patience to read all things over and over again. This is my opinion up to now and I will vote accordingly. Now, you guys, write something logical here to make me change my mind. :)

"old acquintance Jason Arends" Cek....that pains me, arent we all at least friends by now? You sound like a spy, and im not defending myself because ive already stated im not a spy, serges, eden, riza and possibly you are the spies, or maybe molly, or helen, not sure but i know Serges, Eden are definitely 2 of them and Riza is definitely questionable in my book. Im just not going to make a spreadsheet, or post multiple paragraph long posts screaming from the rooftops im not a spy. If the resistance wants to lose so badly then dont listen to me. But come now, aquaintences? :)

Cek I can't read thru your whole post now, but I will in a bit. I will say its pretty fishy that you haven't said a word the whole game (after talking a LOT in the last one) but now that I've outed serges and Eden as spies, you suddenly have something to say??

Now I DEFINIYELY think you're one of the unidentified spies!

And for the record when i put someone on my team proposal who accused me of being a spy, i was hoping that would prove in effect that they were the spy. I never said i was smart, only that eden & serges are the spies. You all love the clueless look for your spies but im not one this time around. Eden says im a spy and the only person saying HES resistance is serges, so it boils down to who do you believe? This has been a clever game and if you're not careful guys Serges will win this one for the spies with his fancy talk, i trust biggie and shes convinced hes a spy, and the rest of you should too. Id also think Riza's definitely a spy and now Cek, im thinking you've been awfully quiet until now.
So thats the last time im saying it, im not a spy, the spies are serges, eden, riza and cek, and by all means people, reject this mission the spies would love it. :)

First point I want to make:
The previous game I was more talkative because was the first gamehere and for me. The enthusiasm was bigger and my life wasn't busy as it is now.
Second: I posted here that long post not because I want to excuse myself in any way (as everybody knows by now that I am resistance), but because I said I will reread everything and put my conclusion here. Biggie and Jason Arends, you understood is a defence strategy. :)
Third: When I accused you, Biggie and Jason Arends, of being spies, you immediately jumped back and accused me of being a spy instead. Not a resistance member attitude. Comparing to this, when people accused Eden and Serges of being spies, they always tried to explain, putting here different scenarios, with them being spies and not, showing the actions each of them took and the logic in them. They didn't jump back to accuse any accuser.
Fourth: This second game of Resistance didn't help the Resistance players too much in making sure opinions about who's who because the mission teams were very linear, not including too many names. I am talking about those missions accepted. So, from this point of view we, the Resistance players, are somewhat limited in making a precise opinion.
Fifth (and last): Eden and Serges were the only ones who had the gut to post here a list of 6 names I think, Resistance players, showing their innocence in these failed missions. Nobody contradicted them. No spy will say 6 resistance names for clearance. Spies will always try to point their accusing fingers on somebody else, not trying to clear other players.

Another long post... I hope I am not a spy again. :)
