wow. I did not expect that, but yay!. So from my perspective either:
- The spy team is yuma-jimmmmm-chairs - quite possible, but there are so many other spyteams there could be...
- The spy team is walrus-tables-yuma - unlikely, why would tables do this team, and unlikely both pass the mission.
- Mail-mi and Walrus are spies, and both passed - I doubt, I think mail-mi would fail it.
- Tables and mail-mi are spies, and both passed - I doubt tables would propose this, and think mail-mi would fail it.
- Mail-mi is a spy along with two of {Yuma, chairs, jimmmm} - I think mail-mi would fail this for sure. Really not worth it to slowplay here.
- Tables and Yuma are spies along with one of {chairs, Jimmmmm} - could be, but why did tables pass this?
- Walrus and Yuma are spies along with one of {chairs, Jimmmmm} - could be, but why did walrus pass this?
So a lot of possibilities, but most are unlikely. big resistance read on mail-mi, big spyread on yuma.
So I think that most likely the top one here is the correct one. So if I was trying to get a completely clean mission I'd propose:
tables, mail-mi, liopoil, walrus.
but I'm not - I'm trying to get a mission with 1 or 0 spies.
I'm going to be putting myself, 2 of {mail-mi, tables, walrus}, and 1 of {yuma, chairs, jimmmm}.
If mission 3 is indeed clean then doing this will win the game anyway. So I am assuming that mission 3 is NOT clean.
If mission 3 is not clean, I think it is more likely that there are two spies on it than 1. if there is just 1, I see no reason to pass it. It doesn't guarantee that mission 4 is failed, but even if mission 4 is failed, they still need to fail mission 5. If you fail mission 3 instead, you're guaranteed at a chance at mission 5, and resistance will have less info than they would if you pass M3 and fail M4.
I can't think of a scenario where it is a good idea to pass M3 as the only spy on the mission, so I assume there are 2 on M3.
tables/mail-mi
tables/walrus
walrus/mail-mi
I need to decide which of the three is the least likely, then put them both on the mission, and not the third.
The thing with mail-mi is that in the last two games when he was put on a mission with a spybuddy, he failed it, and his partner passed it. So I think if tables is his partner, this would have happened (tables played last game). Walrus on the other hand, might be unaware of this and so mail-mi might have passed it? I dunno, maybe this is a bad way to think about it.
Tables proposed this mission. He might have put a spybuddy on it with him, and tried to send a message to him to fail the mission? Possible, but unlikely I think. So that supports walrus/mail-mi too.
now, remember that the mission liopoil, mail-mi, yuma failed. That makes walrus-tables more unlikely than tables-mail-mi.
So I leave mail-mi off.
That makes my mission liopoil, tables, walrus, and one of yuma/chairs/jimmm.
