Penalty Box Mafia - Eagles. Game over. Scum wins (0-1)

[Foolster41]

The other team has no lynched. You have 24 hours to lynch or no lynch.

[ZeekLTK]

Why are we keeping the same lineup? We lost possession so the only way this will benefit us is if they change their lineup to add more scum...

Anyways

vote: No Lynch

[Capricious]

. Get on with it.

Eagles get the puck, but don't manage to score. It is now pre-day 7 (Begining of the 3rd period!)

[Mastermind of Sin]

We've gotta have a better line than them, cuz we keep getting the puck...we must just not have enough of an advantage to score.

[ZeekLTK]

Well, either the other team put more scum on the ice than they did yesterday or the puck automatically changes hands every other period. IMO they had to have put more scum on, because this game would be stupid if the puck just automatically goes to each side every other day (and it unfairly gives the Hawks an advantage because there are 9 days so they'd get it for one more day than we would).

Also, the rules stated in the original post:

If one side is decidedly stronger than the other at the end of a game day, the stronger side will score a goal.

So it is only logical to assume that the stronger side gets the puck, because they can't score without it.

So I think we pretty much just blew any chance of winning (or even leveling the score in) this by fielding the same lineup because (unless the puck automatically changes) now the other team can pinpoint who their scum is. So now we're screwed.

[ZeekLTK]

Can we please mix up the lineup again? Put Lowell back in and maybe replace MoS with Shanba...

[ZeekLTK]

I'd say have both me and Lowell and left/right wing (whichever, since we're both left wings). Pick between TVZ/JDodge for center.

Then keep the D the same except put in Shanba instead of MoS (why not? Shanba's been on the bench for a long time, might as well put him in).

[Lowell]

I'll agree with all that.

[Mastermind of Sin]

I don't have a problem with this change, except that there is one glaring problem with it. The plan depends on the scum being in one of the duplicate roles. Since the scum assignment was random, we need to come up with a way of determining who the scum is if it's not one of the duplicates. Regardless, though, I think it makes sense to switch out our doubles.

[ZeekLTK]

Yeah but I think at this point, if either Flameaxe or Capricious is scum, there's no way we can win, so we might as well try to narrow it down among the 3 positions with 2 players each.

I mean, if Flameaxe is scum, that means we have to play 2 players out of position in our best lineup, which means we'll probably never be strong enough to score a goal (barring the other team putting both of their scum on the ice, which is unlikely).

And if Cap was scum, they probably would have scored by now. But even without considering that, if we put a non-goalie in goal, that's only going to make us weaker, so we almost have to take the leap of faith and assume Cap is town too.

If Lowell is not scum then I think we still have a chance to score by playing the two of us at the wings (since we're both left wings) and then getting sitting out the scum, whoever it is between MoS/Shanba or JDodge/TVZ.

[Mastermind of Sin]

If you or Lowell are scum, how to you propose we figure that out, if we're playing both of you on the ice?

[Lowell]

I agree w/ Zeek that I doubt we lose too much by putting a left forward at right forward or visa versa. I say we continue to rotate players in and out. If at any point we score, we've probably isolated the scum.

Even if not, I find it unlikely that we'd concede another goal if eveyone is in more or less the right positions and at most one scum is on the ice.

[Foolster41]

the other team has submitted their lineup. Please submit a line-up soonish (No time limit yet)

[Mastermind of Sin]

I agree w/ Zeek that I doubt we lose too much by putting a left forward at right forward or visa versa. I say we continue to rotate players in and out. If at any point we score, we've probably isolated the scum.

I agree, but if we never take some people off the ice, there's no way to tell if they are scum or not.

[Mastermind of Sin]

We need to start discussing who to lynch (or if we're going to no lynch) now. The other team is considering no lynching, so we need to be prepared in case they try to and we don't want to.

[Lowell]

I'm comfortable no lynching. We're still ahead in scum, so we should eventually be able to catch up.

[Mastermind of Sin]

V/LA through Friday.

[Lowell]

No worries, nothing happens here anyway.

[ZeekLTK]

Can I kill our coach and submit a lineup for him?

[Foolster41]

No.
Prodding coach now.
