Probably tomorrow morning. I figure I'll give people who only sign on in the evenings a chance, plus I figure Lorena might want to play, since it's her friend's first game.

I'm actually thinking of sitting this one out to sort of coach her. Not that I'm a good player or anything, but just give her some pointers or if she has any immediate questions, she knows where to find me.

I'm excited to see her starting a game with so many great players, she's gonna learn a lot.

Your damn right I am great. Not only as footballer but also as a werewolf player. I should easily be elected team captain. If not, this manager knows nothing.

Well I'm glad the deadline is tomorrow. Today is my longest day of the week, so it saved me from having to get in a vote in now. I'll be out pretty much all day, but will be around in the evening and tomorrow during the morning/day.

I am not sure I completely understand the "getting 10 points is also a victory". It seems like it would be near impossible for the game to last long enough to win 10 games.

You obviously have missed my skills, gaffer. Of course, I really was not put forward much effort. I don't have to. I am the best player on this team. No one can do what I can do with the ball.

By the way, I have volunteered to take set pieces this season. I have made your decision easy for you.

Lets kick some ass, and the ball as needed.

We'll have to see how match reports work to figure out how best to make use of the information, but my suspicion is it'll end up being a math or logic problem after we get 2-3 games' info to work with. One thing I thought was interesting from the rules that I missed on the first read-through:

Quote:
Win, Lose, or Draw – The skill values of the starters at their position will be added up, plus the average skill scores for the highest three bench players. If the total is higher than 9, the squad wins. If the number is between 6 and 9, it’s a draw. If the number is less than 6, the squad loses. A win earns the squad three points, a draw gets one, and a loss nothing.

So basically we have 14 positions (11 on the field, 3 on the bench) where we need to get 10 points to get the full 3 points per match.

We don't have to win 10 games. Each draw is worth 1 point but each win is worth 3 points, so we only need to win 4 games or win 3 and tie 1. Of course the wolves can extend that by penalizing us points, but at that point they aren't killing villagers, so it behooves us to sort out who should be playing where ASAP.

I am assuming that you players don't have any indications in your role description as to what skills you may be good at, correct?

So it will be trial and error.

ok, looking over the rules, and questioning pass....the manager is known good, and cannot be nightkilled! so. i trust kwitt

this also makes the endgame interesting (when we get there) since the only way he can die is from a brutal wolf kill... thats a huge help to us

There's no brutal wolf in this game -- but the manager does not count as being 'on the team' in the 1:1 ratio calculation.

I did not get any skills, but if I did, they would have been massive. I am afraid I will be killed at night though. The wolves are going to target me because they know I am the best player.

I am thinking of turning in a transfer request, but I know I am so important to the club.

So, Pass. We're in the day phase now, right? So I will submit a lineup tomorrow after 2 sometime?

And between now and then we have a day one vote for "lynch?"

Is that correct?

Also, if a player on the roster is night-killed, can I replace him or does the 1st bench player move into that spot?

You will submit a lineup before 2 sometime. Anyone night-killed will not be replaced. You can send conditional orders so that you don't end up playing anyone who gets lynched.

Ha, you should just wait to see how much PurdueBrad brings in in transfer fees. PB is the heart and soul of this team and PB will not be insulted like this. PB means, we're talking about practice...practice man...c'mon, PurdueBrad don't care about no practice...PRACTICE?!?

Okay, this is a very interesting rule set.

Some food for thought...

1. Should the "Jealous" good role just announce himself? Or that person in some way find a way to let KWhit know his role? Not sure what good would come from placing this role on the bench and having him kill a starter, possibly a good one, to get on the pitch.

2. The PMing. There's a potential lot of it in this game, with the position PMing. The bench PM group is probably bigger (or as big) as the wolf group in this game. I am presuming the PM status will remain in place the entire next day following the match, since we don't know KWhit's lineup until the deadline. (Pass to confirm)

3. The non-specific position skill (at least to our knowledge). The fact anyone can be placed anywhere means that KWhit can orchestrate who PMs who, and also can put something together whereby messages can be passed along between different players through go-betweens by means of position movement.

4. The wolves can choose to set us up for league violations, with a 2 point penalty, instead of doing a kill. If they chose to do this every night, instead of a kill, we would have to win ten matches (3 per match; 30 points total; - 2points per night; 20 points total == 10 points). So the wolves can make it very difficult for us to reach 10 if they want (at a price, of course).

Question for Pass: Is our skill set overall general, or do we each have hidden individual skill levels for particular positions?

Whoa, Nelly.

I'm thinking we need to No Lynch today.

We need players in order to win games. A lynch of a good player could be disastrous for our chances on the field.

I got my PM, checking in. Haven't even looked at it yet so I have no idea who's side I'm on. Although I guess if I was a wolf I'd have more than 1 PM waiting for me as my fellow wolves said hello...
