The Resistance: Battery Boardwalk's Opening Day

After years of anticipation, the Battery Boardwalk has finally opened its doors to the general public. The residents of Sleuthville come streaming in through the ticket booth--a line stretching as far as the eye can see. Among those gaining entry is a group of elite detectives with complimentary day passes to the attractions, invited specifically to keep an eye on things. A week prior to opening, the higher-ups at the Boardwalk had received anonymous threats of sabotage and murder if the Boardwalk was not torn down immediately. However, the proprietor was not one to submit to intimidation. Thus, on opening day, a group of highly-ranked detectives were tasked with keeping the park safe.
Unfortunately, there have been rumors floating around that some in the ranks of the elite had been approached by the mysterious threat-maker, and were now working for him to guarantee the day would end in disaster. It is said only those who turned to the dark side knew who the others were; everyone else had to eye each other with suspicion and make their own judgements. Although the team has been compromised, there is no time to vet and assemble another one on such short notice. Yet the day is young and there are plenty of opportunities to ensure opening day is a success.
The detectives’ job this fine day is to make the rounds of the park and keep an eye out for any suspicious or potentially dangerous activities. If opening day goes off without a hitch, the Boardwalk is sure to bring in millions, and the detectives would stand to receive a substantial cut for their services. But if it were to fail, then Sleuthville would be plunged into financial ruin and return to the days of never-ending guilty clients and exorbitant Shady fees. Oh no.
Will the Battery Boardwalk’s grand opening be an unparalleled success, or will it go down in flames accompanied by nothing but the screams of disappointed visitors? Stay tuned to find out in this installment of The Resistance.

Thanks for the input Bela. I would like to see some more posts before I pick a team though. Speak now or hold your peace. You might not like the team I pick. I might not like the team I pick and hope for it to be voted down and have Bela take over. You see how I'm leaning by my "track odds". Now's the time.

No takers. Hmm.
Well, I could be wrong here, but...
I have to go with what I think I see happening. So here's the team I'm proposing.
Sal Iva
AspenK
Bela
Zara, accept my apologies, it was a whisker thin call. So close (for me) that I really did flip a coin. I was leaning toward you being resistance. I wish I would have heard from you here. It may have kept me on that track, but these are the two that I have had successful missions with.
miss snopes, I see that most material against in your position. I do not deny that you may still be resistance.
In any event, this team can always be voted down and I'd be fine with that. It's up t you ladies now.

No worries, Sal. At the end of the day it's your decision. I felt that most of what needed to be said already had been. I also felt that Bela's long posts justifying/explaining why you should choose her were clearly the tactics of a spy trying to persuade others that they are part of the Resistance. I thought you would see that. But I understand your difficulty too. Until those posts appeared I felt fairly strongly that Bela was Resistance. Not so much now ; )
There is a spy on this team. There must be. I know that I am Resistance and I know the identity of one spy who is not on the team. The other must be on your team.
I can't decide whether to veto or to let it ride. If it's a 'no' to this team then leadership passes to Bela. Her team of choice will also contain at least one spy - i.e. herself and/or miss snopes (Note: Bela mentioned in an earlier post that she might well select miss snopes as a team member). In other words - it would be out of the frying pan into the fire. A win for the spies in either case. And I think someone mentioned earlier that there is a limit on the number of times we can vote 'no' to team proposals.
I believe this game is going to go down to the wire whatever we do. I see the spies winning this round. Mission 5 will be the decider. I'm not happy about it. Over and out.

Damn, you're all convincing Resistance players. I'm sure I was a very convincing as Resistance as long as I didn't call you a spy. And the only reason I'm doing that is because it's come down to you vs. Sal. To whichever one of you is actually a spy: congrats! You're so convincing that part of me really just wants to go with the Mission 2 team again. XD
It is my turn as leader next, we'll see how the voting goes.

Zara I understand that you feel that you have said what you had to say. Perhaps Saying it here would have been enough to make me stay the course on pick you over Bela. I admit that I don't know for sure. I may still vote no on my own team.

I can't decide if I want this vote to go through in order to expose that you do, in fact, have a spy on this mission. On one hand I feel that is the only way my co-Resistance members are ever going to realize I am Resistance. But on the other hand, approving this mission team is a 100% certainty of a sabotage which would even the score 2-2.

Mission 4 Result:
miss snopes relays instructions to Aspen and Bela, who quickly run to retrieve the large tarp used earlier to rescue some of the Big Wheel riders. Meanwhile, miss snopes ventures out on the Helter Skelter slide on foot, taking great care not to slip. As quickly as she dares, she makes her way down to where the young boy dangles.
Bracing herself against the sides of the slide, she reaches out and grabs the fabric of the carpet just as it is about to tear. The boy dangles in midair for a second before he loses his grip. There is a split second of horror as the boy falls. Luckily, Aspen and Bela have managed to get back and ready the tarp just below the area. Passersby have offered to help hold it out.
The boy plummets into the tarp. There is a loud ripping sound as the middle gives way...
Mission 4 consisting of Sal, Aspen, and Bela was a FAILURE.
The team members voted as follows:
???? SUCCEED
???? SUCCEED
???? SABOTAGE
Bela, leadership will now pass to you for the next mission.
