at least ND lost

:mad:

I'm not getting why some teams lost PPs. "No Sanctions" had far more votes than any one team, so no gamewide sanctions should have been imposed. Saboteurs, IIRC, cause a -15 PP deduction. What am I missing?

I'm betting Cronin's PP total is a typo?

Erm...yeah, the PP scores don't make sense Pass?

I don't think so. He beat a team, which gave him 35 powerpoints, then he lost 10 powerpoints.

Duh...I get it now. The wolves struck and split their -50 point sabotage amongst CR, RendeR, Alan T and St. Cronin. This accounts for 40 of those points. I don't see the other -10.

I wasn't notified that I was hit by a detractor at all, so not entirely sure where my -10 came from there.

does anyone else see the possibility of wolves targeting themselves to get rid of suspicion?

OH wait, I totally misread the initial report, I actually won. Craziness!

:p
If they were to play though, would the positive PP team even gain any PP by winning?

They would not get any powerpoints, but they would get a win. I should add that the team with positive powerpoints can also throw the game, and the team with zero or less powerpoints would win.

interesting

I'm pretty pissed about the sabotage.

I wasn't notified either, but it looks like I was hit too.

Pass, can you answer what the -10s are for? Or are we not supposed to know what happened to our team?

Working my way through the cupcakes...

SCHEDULE TEAM 37

I can't answer that, but you can probably narrow it down.

I have no idea what to make of that. Was I the only person to submit a private poll? I'm not surprised that the wolves hit so many different people (they likely don't have a much better feel than we do) but why those people?

I did not submit a private poll, I had planned to but spaced out on the early deadline.

So if only 4 people lost 10 points that means we had a BG block on the 5th. Good job to whichever BG did that.

Ntndeacon did not show up as a retractor, and I will assume since cronin got hit that it was sabotage and he is not a detractor either. That leaves either Clapasma or Mr.W in that conference (unless I got unlucky and ended up with a conference that has a retractor scout that shows up as a good team to scans of course if ntn is not a scout for his conference, then he is good.) Since its a 50/50 shot, and neither team are in my division, its worth the sanction vote.

I'm going to once again schedule a non-human team for today.

Vote Mr.Wednesday

Schedule Team 33

Psst Pass: You haven't changed the thread title.

Could it be a cache problem? I changed it a little while ago.

Vote barkeep49 (sanctions)

#1 jehienz
#2 Mr Wednesday
#3 Swaggs
#4 St Cronin
#5 RendeR



Gotta knock some of these uppity one time winners down a peg.

Thoughts about why those 4 players? 3 of them, cronin, render, and CR are all in the public poll, but Alan wasn't. I don't see any sort of conference link to them. Any thoughts?

VOTE BARKEEP49

Public Poll:

1. st.cronin

Submitting a private poll now...

Oh shoot. I didn't realize it was an early deadline. Am I penalized for not submitting a private poll?

I've been thinking about this as well. The biggest link I can come up with is that I understand that all 4 are considered quality WW players.

I strongly suspect that at least one of them is a wolf. Wolves want to finish 2nd in their conferences, anyway, so taking a tiny hit now is no big deal.

Not sure what I want to do yet today, but would any of the other 100 PP schools be interested in playing?

Pass: Does the sanctions deduction come before or after the game?

No. It's optional.

Games first, then sanctions, then sabotage.

I'm looking to schedule a fellow day 1 loser.

Challenge Anxiety

Pass:

If a conference chooses to have a Championship game does a team, in effect, play 2 games on Day 7 (the last of their conference games and the Conference Championship?).

Just a quote from the rules that looked like it needed explaining. In a conference championship game, the winning team receives powerpoints like normal, but the loser actually loses powerpoints, rather than not gaining any like in any other game.

Yes.

It looks like the best move for me in terms of maximizing points is to challenge one of the other day-1 winners, so...
