Both times I have mentioned my votes in the game thread as well as pmed Control so that everyone knows what I think and how I am voting. Only a dirty spy wouldn't want to share their thoughts

Then I'm clearly not since I shared my thoughts already when I named the team.

[Aersoldorf]

I'm inclined to believe that W&S is a resistance member. I don't know that the spies would stick to the automatic pass on a 2 team mission after the last game. I'm not voting until I hear what the rest of you have to say.

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

I don't know but I want to believe that Aerso is resistance. As for Pengu... Withholding judgment. If Aerso is indeed a resistance member we have a 2/3 chance of getting a spy. Those aren't great odds. I want to hear more before voting.

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

But I don't know actually. With Aerso saying stuff like "it's ludicrous to think the spies would pass the first mission after last game" I'm a little confused. That's definitely something I would do as a spy if it didn't work last time. My first goal in that role is always to cause confusion and do the exact things the good guys don't think I would ever do.

[Aersoldorf]

I didn't say it was ludicrous, I simply said that they might not stick to the tactic used in the video since it didn't work out last time

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

Which is entirely true. This isn't saying you're a spy or anything, my gut tells me you're a resistance member and I'm going to stick with that at this point. It was just something a little strange because it's definitely something in my spy playbook were I playing that kind of game.

[Control]

Waiting on votes from Aersoldorf, Witchcraft and Sorcery, and Randomain.

[Randomain]

Ah, looks like this was pushed out of my sight. I know I'm resistance so I can't let this team pass as I know there's a spy in it

[Control]

Still waiting on Witchcraft and Sorcery, again.

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

It's always me isn't it? Oh well. Sorry control, you should be getting my vote about 30 seconds after this post.

[Control]

Pengu's team is accepted, 3-2.

FOR: Pengu, Aerso, W&S
AGAINST: Ater, Random

Aersoldorf, @tredania, and Witchcraft and Sorcery, please send in your success/fail votes.

W&S, I'll ask again. Were you the host that wrote the vignettes for the missions?[/quote]

I think it might have been Ardreas that did that.

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

I don't think I wrote vignettes for missions.

[Control]

Eh, it might have been Ardreas.

The mission was a Failure, with 1 fail vote and two success votes. THe score is now 1-1.

Witchcraft and Sorcery, please submit your two-man team.

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

Okay that sucks. There was only one fail vote though, which leads me to believe that only one of the three members of the team was a spy.

That being said, my team will be myself and Aerso.

The only choice that Pengu had was to put both of us on his team since our mission succeeded. Now I know what you're going to say, that's an obvious spy tactic to succeed the first mission and fail the next. I'm not oblivious to that. I genuinely believe that Aerso is a resistance member. And if this one fails, I'm willing to take the fall. This is just a gut feeling here.

[Ater Nox]

I don't see why you are so trusting of Aerso, I don't see anything he has done that could lead to that. I'm half inclined to think that the two of you are the spies and are playing some game to get the rest of us to trust you by putting each other on each team.

The way I see it, if Pengu's team only had 1 spy, then this team has a 2/3 chance of having a spy on it. Worse still I think, if a spy does fail it we get very little new information. At the moment, we know that at least one of W&S, Aerso and Pengu is a spy. If W&S's mission failed, then all we would learn is that one of W&S and Aerso is a spy. I would be inclined to think that Pengu was then resistance, but I wouldn't be convinced as he could have been forced to put himself on the team along with a previous spy.

Overall, I think this team is a bad idea, I am voting against.

[Aersoldorf]

I am disheartened to see that we failed the last mission and I have no way of knowing which of my teammates failed it. That being said, W&S and I were successful on the first mission and I am going to trust him again this time.

[Randomain]

There's a good chance that a spy passed the first mission though it's also possible that Aerso happened pick a team without spies in it. Still I'd feel a lot more comfortable with a team that has myself with one player form the first team and see what happens and as it's my turn to pick next I'll decline this team at this time

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

I've had a think and am going to vote against this team. I have no reason to trust either of them other than that the first mission passed with me and Aerso.

That being said, Aerso himself said that it didn't work last time. This seems like too perfect of an alibi for him at this point, why would he ever be a spy if the first mission passed?

[Control]

Just waiting on @tredania, for a change.

No reason to trust either of 'them'? It's me and you, and you picked the team. I don't mind seeing another team put forward, but I will admit that I feel the best about this particular team for 2 reasons: 1) I know that I'm a resistance member and don't know the role of anyone else, so it all hinges on W&S; and 2) We've already succeeded in 1 mission. Granted, W&S could be a spy who voted to pass the first mission, but that's only a 50/50 chance. To me at least that's better than another unknown team, because I know my role. I do understand if the rest of you are hesitant to vote for us again (although not quite sure why W&S has developed cold feet).

Sorry about that, I've been a bit preoccupied lately. I'll get mine in right away.

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

I don't know what to think anymore. You're getting defensive when I questioned an earlier statement. I don't like that because you talk a lot when you're nervous that someone has hit your strategy. Now I definitely encourage everyone to vote against this team.

I realize it was my team. I also realize that it was a mistake to trust Aerso. Judging from how he has reacted to my questioning his logic, I think this team is a bad idea and I should have picked Pengu instead of Aerso.

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

"Them" refers to you and Pengu from the last mission, Aerso.

My bad then, I got a tad inebriated earlier and may have overreacted to your post. Again, I don't mind seeing other teams put forward so that we can gather info on which players choose whom to go on their teams, but at the same time I do feel like we made a good team since we passed the first mission.

[Aersoldorf]

And as far as my being 'nervous' earlier, I'm always nervous in these games. There is generally very little information to base our choices on and so one's gut feeling comes into play a tad bit more than it does in WW. That's why I may come off a bit high strung. I'm still ecstatic about winning the last game and I want to do the same thing this time. Back to back Resistance wins has never been done here and I'm really wanting to be a part of both of them

[Control]

W&S's team is Rejected, 1-4.

FOR: Aerso
AGAINST: Ater, Random, W&S, Pengu

Randomain, please submit your team.

[Randomain]

As I said earlier I'll go with myself and one from the first mission. This is because it's unlikely that Aerso'd choose a team where both are spies. Also there's not very much info either way on Pengus position and the fact that there was only one fail vote on the last mission makes me think Nox is likely one of the spies. I don't really know which of the two to trust more at this point (they could both be resistance too though so I could go with either) but with the previous exchange I feel slightly better with going with W&S this time.

So team: Myself and W&S

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

I'm uneasy about Random. I want to believe that Ater is the other resistance member with me and Pengu. Maybe it's just his past quiet, unassuming spy behavior that always seems to get us but I want to see.

Withholding my vote for a bit.
