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

No Eden. He wouldn't have necessarily done that. There is no automatic rule you have to follow in this game. For instance, last game, Illicit and Jason were both spies and Illicit got to look at Jason's card and she told everyone he was Resistance. And she lied about it.

Nicnic I only exemplified two ways in which Serges could get away with the OC card.

Since there are no automatic rules, you just cannot say Serges and I would have no other option than picking each other into the teams we proposed, cause I have just given you two examples and they are very likely to work better than getting two spies in a team.

I think I already explained why I think they would work better. But that's not even the case here.

The point is there are many ways, and it's only if we thought we had no other and the rules were automatic that we would "have to" choose one another into our teams.
