Loyalty test and blackmailing [Run Faster] Options

[CitM]

Hey folks,

i'd like to have a contact for my new char, who is getting blackmailed but i did not exactly get how the loyalty test works out when combined with blackmailing/ intimidation.

p.178, Blackmailing

If the contact fails a Loyalty (Leverage) Test it means
he doesn’t care who knows what he’s being blackmailed
for.

p. 177, Loyalty test

If a contact is under duress, their loyalty to the character
may be tested. Make a Loyalty Test to see whether the contact
can resist intimidation, torture, bribes, etc. Roll the character’s
Intuition + the contact’s Loyalty rating, and apply the hits as bonus
dice to the usual resistance roll. Other actions done or not done
by the character can also lead to Loyalty Tests.

I can not manage to bring those two parts together to figure out a rational use of this rule. I dont know if this is due to my missing language skills or just does not make any sense at all. Also i dont get, what the "usual resistance roll" ist.

Sorry for bad english, and thanks in advance

think of it as a teamwork test on resisting torture.

Yeah, unfortunately this does not help at all.

I dont even think that those two parts belong together. I would appreciate if someone, that understands the new contact rules completely, would give me an example how, when and how often, lets say, a Rating 3, Loyalty (Leverage) 4 Contact has to roll those loyalty-tests and why characters intuition should influence that test in any way.

Thank you.

Jeah, i think ive got it. The contact does not roll loyalty tests at all, if not bothered. That was, obviously a problem of misunderstanding the language. Sorry for bothering and thank you anyway.

Close please

PS: That makes this contact quality very powerful - not having to pay for favours or services is imho very very mighty.
