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

[Foolster41]

I'm working on getting this day going. Sorry about that.
A note that this there will be 6 days as I original intended when I designed this setyup. (9 days seemed really long to me,) Sorry about any confusion.

I think it should still be 9.

a) We have a new scum and nothing to go off of, it's going to take time to figure it out.

b) The other team still has TWO scum left so it'll take them time to figure out who it is, and thus we have a better chance of scoring goals during that duration (since we have one less scum as it is).

c) 9 days adds more strategy because you have to be careful about lynching people, especially later when you are running low on players (you have to decide: is it beneficial to lynch all your scum and play maybe a man down, or is it better to play with scum on the ice?)

d) Everyone has been playing under the assumption of 9 days, might as well stick with it.

Also Primate did we change the lineup for Day 5?

QFT. If the game goes to 6 days instead of 9, I'm going to ask for replacement. Do not change setups in the middle unless there is a pressing need for it. The length of the game was public knowledge that affected people's play. You cannot change it without completely fucking things over.

QFT. I will follow MoS in his replacement expedition.

[Foolster41]

though I had originaly planned for 6, I guess it's a good point that I said 9 at the begining and should stick to it. Point taken. I suppose 9 could work, if you really want it to go that way. (that's it though, no more going back and forth 9 it is!)

[ZeekLTK]

Okay so now when does Day 5 start?

And no one answered me - what's our lineup for Day 5??

[Mastermind of Sin]

only Primate and Foolster know.

[Foolster41]

Is this today's lineup?

Goalie: Killerbob
Right Back: Mos
Left Back: Flameaxe
Centre: Jdodge
Right Forward: Panzer
Left Forward: Lowell

(Coaches, could you please post the day # in the topic of the PMs so I know what day it goes with, it'd make this easier to track down the lineups.)

[ZeekLTK]

Primate put me at Left Wing and TVZ at Center

then we need to decide on Shanba, Jdodge, or Lowell at right wing.

[Mastermind of Sin]

Zeek. I'm pretty sure Primate already sent in the lineup before you replaced in. How is he going to change it? Also, why would we have Shanba play right wing? He is a defensive player...

[ZeekLTK]

I was thinking the reason we didn't score might be because one of the forwards might be scum. That means either Lowell or Jdodge. So... if we take both of them off we need to put Shanba in because he's the only player we have left.

Also I thought it was still "Pre-Day 5" (according to the title) so I thought he could still change it.

[Foolster41]

(Waiting for primate to confirm the lineup. I'm not sure if it was sent in or not.)

[ZeekLTK]

Primate, please use this lineup:

Goalie: Capricious
Right Defense: MoS/Shanba (I don't think it matters which one)
Left Defense: Flameaxe

Right Forward: Lowell or JDodge
Center: TVZ
Left Forward: ZeekLTK


I'm pretty confident that either Lowell or JDodge is scum (I think scum cause your shots to go wide, because obviously they won't be shooting to try to score) so I think if you play the one who isn't scum as the right forward we'll get possession by having a stronger lineup (aka no scum) and might score (or at least shoot on target).

Since scum got randomized, it's up to you for which one to pick, but please don't play them both again like last time. I'm pretty sure I know who the scum in the other game is, and they are going to use those players in their upcoming lineup, so if we manage to sit our scum out I'm positive we'll win possession and have a good chance to score with my suggested lineup.

[Primate]

Goalie: Capricous
Right Back: Mos
Left Back: Flameaxe
Centre: TVZ
Right Forward: Jdodge
Left Forward: Zeetlk

Is the list I'm submitting. Not for the reasons you put forward, though, I'm pretty much just swapping all the people I can into positions they are supposedly equally strong at, just to see what happens in comparison to yesterday.

Goalie: TVZ
Right Back: Shan
Left Back: Flameaxe
Centre: Jdodge
Right Forward: Capricious
Left Forward: Lowell

Was my yesterday lineup, fyi.

[Lowell]

I'm not a huge fan of zeek being in there, TBH. Otherwise it looks okay.

[Primate]

Yeah, I get that, but I think he needs to be in there today. I'll be able to make a more informed decision tomorrow.

PS: We're no lynching again, and honestly I don't get the purpose of lynching in a game where if we don't want the scum to affect the game we can just not put them on the ice.

[ZeekLTK]

I don't understand the poison thing that was brought up in the other thread. It would seem the scum should have those powers so that there IS a reason to get rid of them (so they don't poison our team!) but that doesn't seem to be the case (according to MoS, he said he never had that as scum).

[Primate]

The very fact you're speaking about this proves you haven't actually thought about it much. I encourage you to think about things happening in the other thread and apply them in this one, but absolutely never attempt to state those conclusions in-thread. There are things like, for example, the knowledge of who their scums are (I am 95% I know one, and pretty sure than I know the other) that we should absolutely never bring anywhere near the thread, despite the fact that this information is techinically useful for the Eagles to have out in the open. Analysing their claims is a similar thing, to my mind, and that's what you're doing there.

That said, I do beleive there are some people on this team who have abilities, but aren't stating it for some stupid reason. Hell, we *know* we have a Captain, but whoever that is hasn't bothered to raise his hand.

[Flameaxe]

I have abilities...its passive though..and I've been hinting it all f-ing game.

[Primate]

Why, when it was revealed scum have no way to stop us, didn't you reveal it?

[Flameaxe]

I wasn't aware we were going a full massclaim, I thought it was only a position claim.

It's a double vote, for the record.

[Mastermind of Sin]

lol, I knew Flameaxe had it, but I wanted to get him lynched when I was scum. It was funny to see him get pissed off when no one paid attention to his pseudo-claim.
