[A] The Agency GAME OVER -- AGENTS WIN

DPs right though: if you're an agent it's a given that among those on the list and Koodauw at least one infiltrator hides. If Koodauw is one it's guaranteed that he would sneak at least one other into his list as a successful mission would be game over for the infiltrators.
Same goes for TechGod.
Makes sense - one other possible reason to vote Nay if you are an agent would be if you thought the leader was a infi and you didn't want an infi to distribute plot cards.
Thinking about it at this point it possibly make sense to vote Nay anyway on the first teams, as it potentially gives us more information by watching how each person chooses their team.

^ Koodauw can't vote though.
and mscriv votes for ss? damn, what is he up to?
It 5:4 yay to nay. msciv yay'd

ok - everybody voted but Koodauw who doesn't get a vote so currently the yays have it and the mission goes ahead. Do we have majority lock and that decision is locked or is it possible for people to change their mind before deadline?
Yeah. I fixed the bug (was hoping I was fast enough no one noticed!). I had 'ss' as an allowed alias for Sceptical Scribe in the code so it picked up the 'ss' in mission as the last bolded vote in mscrivs post, and I need to remove the mission leader from the voters list each time (forgot that)^ Koodauw can't vote though.

Will we get more info from voting nay (we get no real info) and moving on to the next list of 5 or voting yay and sending it to a fail/success vote?
I think you'd get some information from looking at who the people picked as a team later on if you found out the leader was an infiltrator - probably nothing to be gained if the leader is an agent.
But nothing that could possibly help us when the next team leader picks his team of 5. And the same argument for Nay can then be made.
@twietee that makes sense, but it all depends on whether or not Koodauw is trustworthy or not. And I think since we are only in the first round it takes just one Infi vote to fail a mission, right (team leader votes on mission success IIRTOPR [if I read the OP right])?
Either way, I agree with Moyank, since we are all at the start of this, there's nothing to tell who is bluffing a vote and who is not.

From my perspective this mission will fail as I'm an agent and there are only 3 other spots left but we have 4 intruders - didn't think about that initially (d'oh!) but although I don't like the way DP adressed that I agree that TechGod and Astroboy look suspicios now.
In the end it's a question if those 5 (majority) are confident or not. Luckily DP ad Fenris weren't, but TechGod and AB907 were, that's a pity.
Thanks. Count me flattered.

Not sure, but I am following this with fascinated attention when I can drop in.
Fair enough. Good luck, and enjoy it. Sorry I cannot join you this time, but it will be interesting to watch.
Agreed - nothing that could help us this mission I think but maybe something that could help us later on once we find out more information.
No, doesn't depend on Koodauw. Even if 3/4 from those not assigned were baddies: I'd assure you that Koodauw wouldn't be one in that scenario and the mission will most probably fail. If Koodauw really is a baddie, there would be another baddie in the list, I'm quite sure, and the mission would fail as well.
But your argument can be used for every team that comes to a vote until we actually send a team through. Once we have a fail/success vote, it makes sense to start naying (is that a word).
IF your an agent then that group is a fail group as it must contain at least 1 infiltrator since if Koodauw is an agent and your an agent he must have randomly picked at least 1 infiltrator. If Koodauw is an infiltrator its a good guess that he included at least 1 known infiltrator in the team.
It's hard to have confidence in any group atm for these reasons.
If team leader is an infiltrator its very likely he/she would include at least 1 infiltrator in the team to make sure it fails.
If team leader isn't an infiltrator he/she has to manage to correctly pick agents for all 5 spots in the team with no information to go on as to who is an agent/infiltrator - since he/she is picking out of a group of 9 - 5 agents/4 infiltrators doing that is very unlikely.
Note: the chance of a agent team leader correctly picking the 5 other agents at random is 1 in 126 or approximately 0.8%
Yes, you get more info by voting nay, since you get to know who the leader selected and what people voted multiple time for each mission rather than just once
So would it be better to simply nay 4 missions in a row to gain voting info and then put one through? That gets us the most info without using up a turn.
I misunderstood the OP at the beginning of this - I thought if a mission was nayed then the leader just picked new people until it got put through, not moving to the next leader. So thus there would be no benefit to naying a mission until we knew more about roles.
