The New York Police Commissioner has just approved a daring, top secret mission to infiltrate the ranks of La Cosa Nostra and target none other than the fearsome Dona Isabella Santanelli herself. If all goes well, he can collect enough evidence against the Dona to put her away for life and severely cripple the lucrative crime operation.

The only catch? La Cosa Nostra has access to the NYPD’s detective base (no one knows how) and can identify any of their detectives on sight. Because of this, the Police Commissioner has to recruit from some lesser known faces- the private detectives and civilians walking the streets of New York.

Will the Police Commissioner be able to assemble his task force and infiltrate La Cosa Nostra without spy interference from LCN? Or is the mission doomed to fail, and the price fatally steep for all involved? Find out in this game of The Resistance!

I think, from the fact absolutely no one voted against this proposal, there's good odds it'll be sabotaged. Nothing to do but wait and see I suppose.

Jul-29-2015 07:47

I agree. Well find out who the spy really is with this mission

Jul-29-2015 08:02

Even if I had voted no, everyone would have still sad yes, and this mission would have still been a go. If it is sabotoged, my suspicions of lady emerald being a spy will be confirmed. Why would she choose to reveal her alliegence to a known spy?

Jul-29-2015 08:29

Oh no Marc, I've come out as not a spy now. I was just pretending to be scum.

Jul-29-2015 08:57

I vote SUCCEED. Do resistance have to PM you each time Molly?

Jul-29-2015 09:01

Yeti, as the two spies know each other, what is the point of pretending to be a spy if you're not?
How does that help resistance players?

Jul-29-2015 09:07

Exactly something a spy would say ;)

How does it help my fellow Resistors to say I am a Resistor at the start of the game? Everyone, spy or not, will claim to be Resistance, which is dull. However by claiming I am a spy, the spies will know I am not actually one of their number, and how they react to me will potentially give tells away to who they are. For example, I used the same strategy in the last game, and consequently Riza strongly suspected Molly was a spy.

And yes LED, you still need to send your vote privately to Molly. Nothing you say in the thread is necessarily the truth, whereas your vote via PM with Molly is.

Mission 2:
Lady Emerald Devon, Riza Hawkeye and DevilishWings sat in the nondescript black Plymmouth silently, the air tense between them. Their eyes were fixed on the home of Antonio del Rosaro, a stately mission-style home in the hills.
“Who knew the criminal element had such nice, normal looking houses?” DevilishWings mused. She was sure they were destined for a flashy penthouse.
“I rather think the plan should go as follows. DevilishWings, we’ll need the car running and ready at a moments notice. Please stay here and be ready to speed. Riza, you and I will creep in surreptitiously and snatch the amulet. I’ve heard he has several guard dogs, so I’ve brought cuts of steak laced with a sedative. It won’t kill them, just knock them out.”
Riza and Lady Emerald moved from the vehicle, Lady Emerald brandishing cuts of juicy rib-eye. Before the dogs could have time to react, she darted forward and flung them over the fence. Several black shapes materialized in the darkness and began to wolf the cuts down hungrily, before their movements became markedly more sluggish.
“To the door!” she whispered, and smoothly Riza knelt down before the mahogany front doors and picked the lock with ease. It swung open silently to a foyer as black as ink. They slipped inside and bore to the right, where the Police Commissioner had told them the sitting room featuring the amulet was.
“There it is.” Lady Em said, spying the mantle and they converged eagerly but saw…nothing.
“Looking for something?” a growl issued from the darkness and the lights came on suddenly. As they blinked, they saw Antonio del Rosaro cradling the amulet in his large paw. A set-up!
“A little birdie told me I’d have some visitors tonight. And now, I’ll have to go through the trouble of cleaning this new rug.” He raised a gun at them and fired a shot…where the two women had been standing previously. Riza yanked Lady Emerald by the arm and ran full-tilt towards the door, shots following. Devilish Wings heard the ...

heard the noise and turned her beams on, throwing open the door as the women piled in, narrowly making it. Bullets pierced the side of the car as they sped into the night.
