WW 109 - Hungry for Gold (Game Over, Wolves Win, Team USA Wins) - Page 3

Darth Vilus · 02-22-2010, 11:11 PM

Who care if Sweden wins or loses, we have hot chicks in bikinis. And since they're in bikinis in vancouver I think they'll nedd someone to help them keep them warm if u catch my drift :-)

Poli · 02-22-2010, 11:27 PM

Great, my brother in law is a true russian. Super. I hate that guy. I have half a mind to throw all of my teams entries so that the US can win instead. Take that, gregori!!

Seriously, though, comrade, I am here to bring the soviet whatever we are gold and happiness.

DaddyTorgo · 02-22-2010, 11:35 PM

Darth Vilus · 02-22-2010, 11:50 PM

Need I say more? I think Sweden should have its fair share of fans.

Granted I LOVE that picture, but it should probably be edited down just for safety sake as some get online at work during these games.

Lathum · 02-23-2010, 12:46 AM

Yeah J23, you are risking a boxing with that pic.

J23 · 02-23-2010, 12:54 AM

well, permission to remove it then EF? I don't want to edit it w/o your permission.

Lathum · 02-23-2010, 12:56 AM

I would just do it dude, the sooner the better.

J23 · 02-23-2010, 12:59 AM

done. It didn't show anything technically, but I suppose it wouldn't be the best thing to have open at work

EagleFan · 02-23-2010, 01:01 AM

Thanks J23. We don't want the attention of the main forum mods in here if we can avoid it.

Going to get some sleep. Will try to check in as often as possible tomorrow (as much as work allows).

Passacaglia · 02-23-2010, 08:56 AM

Checking in for the morning, yo

Passacaglia · 02-23-2010, 09:06 AM

So does everyone compete in every event, or does our team nominate one person for each event?

Everyone competes in each event. In the individual events it may be possible for a team to earn more than one medal. In the team events they compete as a team for one possible medal.

The choices that each player has is how much effort to use up on a given event.

The choices that each team has is which of their members that want to earn the bonus is someone (or their team in general) wins gold for that event.

PurdueBrad · 02-23-2010, 11:04 AM

Hey guys, really rough day here, 90 teachers dismissed (13 in my school). Wife is untenured so we're pretty concerned.

I'll be around some.

Should I vote top down or down up this time?

- Tie lynch vote means no lynch.

so why can't we just vote ties everyday and let the scans roll in?

PurdueBrad · 02-23-2010, 12:37 PM

Thanks guys. A lot of districts do what is called a "RIF" where they lay off complete groups and then higher most back. This is an actual dismissal and people have been told "go find work." Luckily, I am tenured and it looks like, despite a push from one individual with too much power, my wife will be fine as well. Just a very rough day. My best friend's pregnant wife (I teach with both) was dismissed. Rough to see.

Poli · 02-23-2010, 12:39 PM

Thomkal · 02-23-2010, 12:48 PM

Just popping in quick here to say that I'll will be away from the computer for most of the afternoon most likely. But Team Germany will still win anyway.

Danny · 02-23-2010, 12:54 PM

I am glad it sounds like you guys will be ok!

It's a rough time for Education. The district I am doing my fieldwork in has to cut 30 million for next year. Everyone is receiving a paycut, all extra personal looks to be laid off (those not required by law like counselors) as well as many teacher positions. In my field, School Psychology they supposedly have to lay off 2 of 12 from an already overworked position.

I'm in California, so I think things are worse here, but hopefully will be a bit better when I graduate next year.

PurdueBrad · 02-23-2010, 01:10 PM

Thanks Danny. Alright, let me get my D1 vote in. Lathum, I am mildly surprised by the push for a tie and letting the scans roll in. It just seems a bit outside your style. If I'm wrong on that, then so be it, it's day 1 and I'll move but you damned Americans are so arrogant anyway!

vote Lathum

Danny · 02-23-2010, 01:22 PM

Regarding the tie idea, this is very different from normal WW in that a tie also means no night kill. It would be interesting to try out Lathum's theory and it will make this more of an olympic game than a WW game. The downside like the WW showed is getting all the villagers to go along with it.

KWhit · 02-23-2010, 01:55 PM

I'd go for a tie strategy.

J23 · 02-23-2010, 01:56 PM

Seems a bit lame, but tactically sound. I'll go along with it if there's signs of support.

Danny · 02-23-2010, 02:04 PM

so for a tie, we just all don't vote right?

PurdueBrad · 02-23-2010, 02:10 PM

Wow, okay, so if people are up for this then I'll certainly go along.

unvote Lathum

Autumn · 02-23-2010, 02:26 PM

All right, checking in briefly before I'm out for most of the day again. I had thought of the tie thing as well ... the downside is if they nail the seer, we basically start the game all over. Is there a victory condition tied to the events as well?

I'm fine for trying it though. Wolves with no kills are the kind of wolves i like.

Autumn · 02-23-2010, 02:29 PM

dola

How do we choose which on our team earns the advantage? We must come to consensus in PM? We each vote in PM to you, EF?

How can they nail the seer? They have no night kill if there is no lynch...

Autumn · 02-23-2010, 02:47 PM

Wow, duh, that's true. I like the plan even more! That should work ... too well.

Lathum · 02-23-2010, 02:50 PM

OK, how about this

Germans vote Russian- Poli
Russians vote Swede- J23
Swedes vote American- Danny
Americans vote Canadian-Schmidty
Canadians vote German-Thomkal

Lathum · 02-23-2010, 02:51 PM

VOTE SCHMIDTY

Passacaglia · 02-23-2010, 02:55 PM

I'm down.

VOTE SCHMIDTY

Danny · 02-23-2010, 02:55 PM

Really had to include me Lathum :P. Dont understand why we wouldnt just all not vote.

Autumn · 02-23-2010, 02:56 PM

I think doing a no vote is much safer than trying to engineer something like we did a couple games ago. Why wouldn't we just no vote?

J23 · 02-23-2010, 02:56 PM

why would we vote anyone? That allows the no-shows today to have an impact on the voting. If noone votes anyone, then only the wolves would throw a vote to get someone lynched.

Danny · 02-23-2010, 02:57 PM

Exactly.

Passacaglia · 02-23-2010, 02:58 PM

I see where you guys are coming from. One the one hand, I want to see everyone check in with a vote, but on the other hand, I also don't want someone who doesn't check in to screw it all up. Especially since I'll be at trivia during deadline.

PurdueBrad · 02-23-2010, 03:08 PM

No vote is light years better than the equal-vote plan. Someone will screw up the voting and then it'll launch into, most likely, a villager vs. villager free for all. I am only down with this if we don't vote.

PurdueBrad · 02-23-2010, 03:09 PM

Or we simply vote no lynch.

Danny · 02-23-2010, 03:13 PM

Lets vote no lynch. Lets everyone check in with a vote and is the same as a no vote.

Danny · 02-23-2010, 03:14 PM

Vote no lynch
