@Naoki_Saten, I never felt like @Mogaoscar was being particularly suspicious myself. Perhaps it’s because I was focused on other people I considered far more suspcious (hello there @Natsume). And since I have more pressing suspicions, it looks quite out of place to me for Mogaoscar’s team to have been rejected by those very suspects.
Unfortunately, there is no simple pattern in that there is a group of four people that have always accepted each other’s team proposals as far as I can tell. But the group of people I accused are close enough to that as far as I’m concerned, with the teams of Necem, Nick and Arete being accepted by Natsume and Necem in particular, who had a tendency to vote REJECT otherwise.
Well then there’s the two of you, @Naoki_Saten, and @Arete of course, analyzing the voting patterns of the two of you for any meaningful conclusions is certainly a challenge. Unfortunately I cannot accept your ‘proof’ for being a buster quite so easily, since it would mean the spies willingly and knowingly rejected the first mission despite the fact that there was exactly one spy in it. That little fact is actually the prime reason I’m suspecting you over Arete at the moment - which is also why I’m still very ambivalent regarding which of the two to trust; it’s not much to go on. I will say at least it’s hard for me to accept that a spy would be as aggressive and outgoing with theories as you have been.
I wonder if I should try to counter the arguments brought forth by Arete and Natsume… I mean what they basically boil down to is “I might be a spy --> I might be lying about all this to get the spies to win” which is a fair point, but, well, I tried to construct my train of thought so that anyone else could follow it just as well. Of course without the premise that “Karifean is a Buster” you may end up with some different conclusions, but I don’t think the reasoning as to why @Natsume, @Necem and @EisenKoubu are my prime suspects requires that premise to understand.
However, since some of the people who’ve brought up issues with my reasoning are Busters in my eyes, I will do my best to address some common complaints.
Mainly, why do I trust @Glenn_Irish? This one basically comes as a direct consequence of doubting @Natsume. As I mentioned previously, they got into a small fight that was convincing enough for me to consider it unlikely for them to both be spies, and since my suspicions of Natsume are quite high, I trust Glenn as a result. There’s also the same reason as with Mogaoscar: Glenn’s team was rejected by some of my other spy candidates. It’s quite possible that Glenn accidently realized the perils of putting two spies on the team and having already locked in the choice and decided to vote REJECT for that reason (rather than because of simply “not trusting themselves”). All of this is still perfectly within the realm of the possible. I just consider it further towards the border of the realm of the plausible than the alternative; that Glenn is simply a Buster who happened to be on the two failure teams. Pretty much the exact same thing applies to @cjlim2007 by the way.
Anyways, I still haven’t heard from a number of people. @Necem, @cjlim2007, @RyuuTamotsu, @Glenn_Irish, what do you think? If I am wrong about even just one spy, or even if I am right but merely one Buster disagrees, that is enough for the spies to grasp victory, so I’m not content to leave such gigantic open ends here.
Oh and @Necem, you know I suspect you but still, I would be quite curious as to what your reason for voting REJECT on @Natsume’s team was, from your perspective. Was there someone on the team you distrust…?
Remember guys, this mission needs two fail votes to fail.
But since majority was already reached, I decided to just push it now
