The Resistance: Lurker Edition

Hello everyone. I’ll be hosting another game of Resistance, and I encourage all lurkers from the previous game(s) to come out and play! We’ll keep it simple with just gameplay and no story this time. And if you’ve never played before, feel free to jump right in, because we all need more imaginary problems to worry about. :)
The game takes place over a series of 5 "missions." The Resistance is trying to complete 3 missions successfully, while the spies are attempting to sabotage 3 missions. First one to 3 wins.
I will serve as game master. Once we get enough people to play (5-10 total), I will PM everyone their allegiance (either "Resistance" or "Spy"). If you are a "Spy," I will also PM you the names of your co-conspirators.
A "leader" will be chosen at random for the first mission. The leader has 2 important functions:
1) The leader will assign various "role" abilities to players. These are one-shot special powers a player can use to learn more information about someone.
2) The leader will assign players to the "team" for that mission.
Missions will have a varying number of players who are selected; the leader picks a team, then every player will vote on whether or not they approve the team by PMing me. Once all the votes are cast, I will post the voting results. If a majority approves the team, the mission starts. If not, the mission does not start, and the next player in line becomes the new "leader" for that round. This continues until either a mission is approved, or 5 consecutive mission teams are rejected (in which case the spies win automatically.)
Once a mission team is approved, those players will PM me their choice of action during that mission. Resistance players will ALWAYS choose to have the mission succeed by sending "Success," while spies have a choice: they can either elect to have the mission succeed (to throw off suspicion), or they can "Sabotage" the mission.

It's really difficult for me to deal with this problem. A 6 yes votes means at least 1 spy support this team. That means it's highly possible that this team is going to be failed. And you guys want me to keep NO CONFIDENCE and see this mission fail?
The reason that spies just give up this mission seems unreasonable. If this team is going to be a success, people will pick this team +1 new member. And if this team is full of resistance, the only 1 new member, even if they are spy, cannot sabotage the next mission. That means spies are going to lose. So I think there is at least 1 spy in this team is highly possible. I am sorry, Shell, for wasting the card you give me (if it's really a waste). But I think I cannot take a risk like this.
Mr. Announcer, I use NO CONFIDENCE to cancel this team.

Well Ty, you figured out what I was trying to do this mission. Keeping myself off the team was part of the strategy. If this mission had gone through and was sabatoged we would know that we had at least one spy incorrect. Only one spy on this team, they would have had to vote sabatoge. If they did not vote sabatoge, then mission 4 would put me on the team, ( resistance) and the Resistance would win. But if by chance this team had two spies on it, we needed to be watching for table talk as to how votes should be cast. Or more likely they would have both voted to succeed then added me to the next mission and both sabatoging the mission. We would then be at mission 5 not sure who is who.
So no you did not most likely waste your no confidence. I was taking a risk trying to see what would shake free.

I think so many yes votes indicates a possible 2 spy scenerio. But I'm not totally sure and am basically musing out loud.

So, we'll see what sort of team Zara puts together.

Ty has used NO CONFIDENCE.
Leadership will now pass to Zara, unless shell wishes to use STRONG LEADER.

Zara, please propose a team of four people.
After Zara proposes her team, everyone must PM me "Mission 3, Team 2: YES/NO" within 24 hours.

Shell, I am sorry to not get your plan. But it's so dangerous. We should win this mission so things will be very easy for us. If sacrificing this mission can help to figure out all the spies, so it's worth. But I think it's no way. So it's not worth taking risk for this mission.
Really sorry, shell :(

I understand where shell is coming from and can see the logic that Ty is using in applying NO CONFIDENCE to the team proposal. I still feel that my interpretation of the scenario (posted at Jul-16-2017 13:34) is also potentially valid. It’s a difficult one.
However, I now have to select a team and my task is no less difficult. The players that I currently have most confidence in as being RESISTANCE are: miss snopes and shell marple. I can also have 100% confidence in my own allegiance as RESISTANCE therefore will include myself on the team. I still agree with the doubts that have been expressed in regard to Bela, Sal and Aspen (to varying degrees). I must therefore choose between Ty and Sindy. It’s a coin toss.
I would like to propose a Mission 3 team of:
Zara
shell
miss snopes
Sindy
