Pretty much the mission I proposed. Don't have a good read on Dexander yet.

This is a difficult team to vote on...
If it weren't Dexander proposing it I wouldn't hesistate to reject. I'm not on the mission (or any of them so far, in fact
) and I don't trust the people on it, so I expect it will be sabotaged and that's obviously bad.
But it has its positives. I'd get to hand out the cards which is a plus, and the result of the mission, whatever it may be, will give me some ammunition to prune the triangles. I'd also appreciate making my proposal with another mission's information. I don't want to be the one who holds everyone to ransom with the proposal, and as it is, I don't really feel I know enough to propose a solid team.
So, if this team is approved, will you hold on to your No Confidence, Aziz?

I count 6 votes.
Note that any and all votes submitted before the team was proposed do not count.

Looks like the approval isn't going to be shaken, so
Approve
and I'd ask Aziz not to use her NC so I can hand out the cards and make a better proposal.

That's nice, but she can still tell you whatever she feels like and then actually do the entirely opposite thing;
So a small delay is fine but please don't drag the game out for nothing.
Why? They'd know afterwards anyway.
I wonder why someone wanted me to use it in the first place.
Meh, coordinating is more important than lying.
Approve
Use KACEOY on Falc
Al Shiou should use his on the other person. Probably why he was asking.
It's a bit of a liability. If you're a spy, and this team is rejected and it goes to a fifth proposal, then you can just NC it and win the game for the spies.
The team being approved means you couldn't do this anyway, even if you were a spy.
I would ask her to use it so you can make a better proposal, but that's out of my hands.
Yep. Can't for the life of me figure out why, either. Falc is the only one who's made any sort of coherent argument against it.
Paranoia. There's a chance that alxeu is a spy who could steal your card and NC the next mission for an instant spy victory. Basically, the existence of that card means we need to approve mission 4 no matter how bad it is, or risk instant defeat if we're wrong about alxeu.
The team was approved 10-0:
Yay: Dex - Aed - Fal - Mad - Xar - Kai - Sno - Tam - Azi - Alx
Nay: None
Now, to figure out where the story had even been...

Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
And off we go! This is the last straight. The last step towards home. After all these setbacks, hours and hours of back-and-forth, the wait was worth it. We did it! Today, we've proven the Federation's ingenuity. Long Live the Union of Brothers!
The mission passed.
...
...?
"Sir, I think you should see this"
"Yes?"
"Off into the distance, what do you see?"
"Why, the shore! We're almost there. Isn't it beautiful?"
"No, sir, look closer..."
Bad News. We were a step behind. Always a step behind. We have been out-spied. As we went, the Empire of Cirewyn unleashed the might of 3 whole armies on The Republic. Meanwhile, the entire warfleet of the kingdom of Werimma bastards has imposed a naval blockade on our shores.
This is gonna be tricky. The Republic has a long and proud history of sailing the ocean. Its navy is the envy of all others. That envy may in fact have been an essential contributor to Werrima's decision. Either way, it CAN break the blockade, provided we do our job, and we do it right.
5 of us are going to return to the Doge's palace and make sure it doesn't fall. The others are going to disperse among the Islands and perform various distraction maneuvers. Tamius, we need you to choose who those others are. Remember, each will be alone and unmonitored, so even though we we're sending more than enough people, you should still choose wisely.
Non-RP version:
Team: Dex-Alx-Azi-Fal
Mission passed. No sabotages.
Azi WANEGBT'd Fal
Alx WANEGBT'd Dex
4th mission. 1st proposal. Tamius. Team of 5. Plot cards:
Opinion Maker - Use immediately - The player to whom the leader passes this card must vote publicly for the remainder of the game, and may not change their vote once their decision is made.
Open Up – Use immediately – The player to whom the Leader passes this card must choose one other player publicly. The player chosen by the Leader will have his Role revealed by the GM through PM to the player that he chose.
Strong Leader – One time use - The player who receives this Card may keep it and use it later to become Leader for the next Team proposal. If the next Team proposal is the first of a new Mission, he will also be allowed to distribute the Cards for that Mission. Once this proposal is handled, the next Leader is the player whose place the user took in the established order. The use of this Card must be declared in public before the next Leader does anything or before Cards are revealed. This may be preloaded.

A successful mission? Excellent though that is, as it makes my decision on a proposal a whole lot easier, since assuming that team was spy-free (and why wouldn't it be - I'd think a spy would sabotage that, even if they were being KACIOUd, as getting two failed missions on the last two teams is a challenge), I can guarantee my proposal will succeed even if you might think I'm a spy, but it does mean that the triangles are still useless.
Anyone have thoughts on the cards? I'm inclined to give SL to one of the people on the mission (Dexander out of pure self-interest, since I'm after him, but it would make more sense on alxeu or Aziz), though I hope it isn't used, and OM and OU to someone off it (kai? snoop?)

That actually worked??? Really?
OK then: Give open up to al-Aziz, and let her check anyone she wants. Ideally, we would like her to check a Resistance member, because clearing people is more important than finding spies (translation: check me, for goodness' sake!). Although if that mission was in fact perfect, it doesn't really matter any more.

Excellent. We have this in the bag. I highly doubt anyone on that team is a spy, since they'd have to be stupid enough to put the spies in a position where they'd have to get the double sabotage mission to not lose. So at this point we can add pretty much anyone to this mission and get through safely.
Alright, then, let's not hold this game up since we have it won.
Open Up to al-Aziz. Check who you like, as madchemist says.
Strong Leader to alxeu
Opinion Maker to Kaisersohaib (no idea with this really)
While I ought to wait for Aziz's Open Up, it doesn't matter who she opens up to or what the result is, I'm still going to propose the same thing.
Propose
Dexander
al-Aziz
alxeu
Falc
Tamius
APPROVE
As I mentioned in the post after the update, even if you don't trust me (though you should) this team will be a success, as the spies need two sabotages.
