Mob history is to be made tonight, and you are along for the ride.

Sonny Capellini, The La Cosa Nostra boss of the Brooklyn area and a few of his closest compatriots were found dead in his home two nights ago, victims of blasts from sawed-off shotguns. Fuggheddaboudit. Theories suspect rival Emil "The Butcher" Bocelli, a higher-up with no small means at his disposal. Emil wanted to assume his place as the top man in the Brooklyn outfit.

However, the Santanelli's have cracked open the books and are hesitant to appoint the wild-card Bocelli, for fear they might have trouble from him later on down the line. They favor Jimmy "Legs" Tarabotti, a well-respected mobster who has no beef against the Santanelli's. However, La Cosa Nostra isn't about to lose more manpower over this.

Jimmy "Legs" Tarabotti has been sent for, and if he makes it to the meeting in a warehouse on 34th tonight at midnight, he will assume the mantle of the entire Brooklyn outfit. If he doesn't make it, the outfit goes to Bocelli.

You are a close-knit crew of Tarabotti's supporters, but word on the street is that Bocelli bribed a few of his men to the other side. Its possible, with their sabotage, that Tarabotti will be dead far before midnight. Only the final strike of the clock will tell.
Can you keep Legs Tarabotti alive until he becomes the most untouchable man in New York? Find out in this game of...The Resistance!

Please ma'am no ma'am, I don't know ma'am
all your if's and but's and so's ma'am,
all your I'll just add a this and that ma'am.

If nicnic took a bottle of the captain in the middle
of a cogitative state about the game
would her words be any clearer, and would we be any nearer,
to putting any spies within the frame?

This game is quite absurd if only one or two are heard,
and it's popularity will surely sink.
Is the only way to play, the way you say to play?
... Do I wait until you tell me what to think?

So I'll keep voting YES, if now only to distress
the people who won't let us act alone.
And we might fin'ly get somewhere, when one or two are more prepared,
To play the game uniquely, not as clones.

This sounds eerily similar to Molly's "I don't play linear and I think outside the box and twirl a lot" spy strategy from game 1. LMAO

As I said before, you are not playing alone - you are on a team. And if you do strange things, you are not helping your team.

Since the Olympics are on, let's use an analogy. It's the men's 4x200 relay race and you are the anchor. But since you apparently don't like to do the status quo and play by the rules or do what your teammates would expect of you, when it's your turn to enter the race and your teammate is ahead by two body lengths, instead of swimming your best in your lane and winning the race, you decide to swim sideways across the pool because ain't no one gonna tell you what to do.... You and the three other people will lose. And I can assure you you will have 3 extremely pissed off teammates.

No worries Squirrelly. I know what's up ;-)

She struggles bravely
to throw suspicion his way.
But she's not a spy...

Nic your theories are sound as always. Except if you're a spy, in which case your theories are a way to throw suspicion off yourself.

I admit that without the use of nic's infamous spreadsheet, I missed the ms Helen/ riza connection. However, my feeling is that nic is the spy from the first mission.

Aug-1-2012 05:17

Oh and also in light of that connection I'll be voting no to my own mission proposal

Aug-1-2012 17:19

I still think Squirrel is a spy. Then I am lost.

Biggie, Nic. I am going to trust you are resistance. Mostly 'cause you make sense even though I am exhausted.

Riz & Squiz, I think you are spies.

Cek... you'll usually more vocal as resistance, so maybe you're a spy this time?

Ms Helen, I don't think you've posted much either but maybe I've just missed you posts. So you're a maybe spy.

Then there's Marc. (Is there? I can't even remember who is playing :( and just want my bed and Blue.) Right, once again, you usually post a lot more

To sum up:

Me, Nic and Biggie = Resistance

Riz & Squiz = Spies

Cek, Marc and Helen = Maybe

So I am going to vote no as there are 3 maybe spies.

How many times can we vote no though?! I thought if you kept voting no, the spies just win and I am a lettle worried about that.

This is only the second proposal for this mission Danny, so we have three more.

Aug-1-2012 20:15

I'm here. I'd be posting a lot more but I've been getting home really late at night the last few days. That's why I've been relatively quiet

Aug-2-2012 04:02

Danny, if you are Resistance, you definitely are very confused and uncertain on the facts up to now (even doubting if Marc is playing or not). Considering this, I don't know how much help you can bring to the other Resistance members, except voting. If you find a really strong Resistance player who will tell you how to vote is enough for you. This is the impression you left me. Other help you cannot offer for the time being to the Resistance. Maybe this will change.
As for my part in this, I can start throwing some accusations here, some comments, make people expose themselves or not, but this is just guessing for the time being. We all need more facts to uncover the identity of the other players. All except nicnic, of course, as she has 5 different scenarios already on her sheets by now, I'm sure. :D

Do we know what we're waiting on?
