I've spent some time letting the information percolate, I've finally reached a point where I can deal with this objectively again. The earlier conversation with Leafsnail gave me what I was missing before (humanizing him, I guess). With the related basis for my suspicion dropping away, I realized it was a fallacy to suspect Toaster and Leafsnail for being spies because they looked town, and I took a closer look at Tiruin to see if they were right about him.
Look, if there's one thing I'd want you to believe me is that there was one spy in my darn team.
You're pretty sure that LS and Toaster aren't both spies then?
So you're upvoting, even though you know for a fact that there is either a spy organizing the team, or a spy on the team. Why the hell would you upvote? It's a lose-lose either way.
So if I were to continue to think you were a rebel, I would have to believe you would upvote a team organized by a spy simply because you believe there to be no spies on it.
...hmm...no.
So if I assume you're a spy, then LS is probably a rebel after all. It's not necessarily that I believe you, but more that I believe that it really would be dumb for you to include more than one spy.
ZU is probably a spy, both by affiliation, his recent voteflip, and his lack of action or explanation since.
If ZU and Tiruin are spies, they probably both upvoted because the third spy was on the team. That clears Toaster and Dariush. That means the last spy is among NQT, Nerjin and ToonyMan. Now this is where I diverge from Leafsnail. I'm pretty certain that NQT is a rebel, and I'm not sure between Nerjin and ToonyMan.
I'm not comfortable with the fact that both Nerjin and ToonyMan upvoted, although if ToonyMan is the third spy, then he's upvoting an all-rebel team (or Dariush is the second spy).
Hmm...it does make sense if NQT is the last spy after all. Crap. Then Toony and Nerjin are both rebels upvoting a good team. But something about the way Nerjin voted this time and the last time is a bit ... funny.
The fact that Tiruin upvoted and ZU looks like he's going to upvote really scares me. It looks really likely that the third spy is on our team ... and it logically would have to be Nerjin.
PPE: Leafsnail
Ugh. I've mostly been really busy. I don't know how helpful it is giving my reads when most everybody will have voted on the team and I don't feel I could trust LS on principle right now. But look, I can see how I might seem dubious for this. When this vote fails I'll be more engaged in the next discussion.
Liar.
I really don't think so. He's been totally absent from the BM he's playing in for four days now. I think his difficulties are legitimate.
That said...
notquitethere: You dolt. Get in here and give your reads. I'm starting to have doubts about you and my vote might decide the outcome.
Also, expanding on the question I asked you above. You already said you'd trust my reads. Would you be willing to put up this team:
Leafsnail
Toaster
Captain Ford
Dariush
