WW United -- GAME OVER

[Passacaglia]

The gang gets together to discuss the sabotage problem within their ranks. Some players suggest waiting until the squad has played its first match, but those folks are eventually quieted, and the group decides on MartinD as its scapegoat. MartinD accepts his fate quietly, and dies.

As the team prepares for its first match, a fax comes in for KWhit. He reads it aloud:

Player Report on MartinD by Passacaglia

MartinD is the #3 player to come off the bench. He has the skill to be a #2 Striker for the squad, but his versatility makes him better suited to begin the match sitting and fill in where needed.

MartinD’s skills:

GK: 51
CB: 45
FB: 25
CM: 27
W: 60
S: 94
Average: 50

No evidence is found in MartinD’s locker room of wolfish activity. MartinD was a villager!

[lerriuqs]

Sorry Martin.

[Danny]

Wow, that's pretty detailed ratings.

[JAG]

KWhit, did you have Martin at the #3 position on the bench in your lineup or is that Pass's take on his skills?

[Passacaglia]

KWhit posts the lineup for today’s match:

1 Goalkeeper - The Jackal
2 Center Backs - Lathum, ~~~~~~~ Danny
2 Full Backs - DaddyTorgo, lerriuqs
2 Central Midfielders - claphamsa, Schmidty
2 Wingers - JAG, Mia Ow
2 Strikers - J23, Darth Vilus

Bench:

~~~~~ LoneStarGirl
PurdueBrad
Telle
Chief Rum
GoldenEagle

KWhit and The Jackal may communicate freely, everyone may communicate with their position mate, and all 5 bench players may communicate with each other (though if you send a message to one, you must send it to all). Please CC me on all PMs (purely for my own entertainment).

[Lathum]

KWhit, knowing MartinD was a lynch candidate why did you have him on the roster at all?

[MartinD]

Well, I was bound to get lynched on day 1 at some point...

If I ever run a game, I think that I'll give the deadlines in GMT (or maybe BST in winter, to really screw with your minds )

[Passacaglia]

KWhit turns to Alan T, as everyone else gets into position. “Sorry, mate, don’t need you this game.” Alan T looks dejected. “Oh yeah? We’ll see about that!” He slips a tablet into Danny’s coffee, and it causes an awful lot of mess. Danny gets ready to take his position at Center Back, but keels over dead. Alan T is the Jealous player and has chosen to kill Danny! Upon seeing Danny out of commission at the last minute, KWhit has no chance to shift things around, and sticks Alan T in at center back.

[Alan T]

Oh well, guess Danny wasn't a wolf. Sorry Danny. I didn't like the way you came across at the end of the day. your arguements are exactly what I would picture you saying as a wolf and it really didn't feel good to me. I also felt your death would help me learn more about claphamsa too. bad call on my part, sometimes my gut wins, sometimes it just eats food.

[Lathum]

wow.

[GoldenEagle]

If we lose our first match, we should lynch the stinkin' gaffer. Why would he leave his best player on the bench? I am not injured at the moment, although I might pick up a knock sitting on this wretched benched.

The gaffer must have thought I was injured. Who is the physio around these parts? He must be poisoned as well, feeding the gaffer with wrong information.

[Lathum]

so do I get to PM with AlanT?

[Passacaglia]

As KWhit is giving one of his patented “team talks” that helped him get this job at the last minute, a stone crashes through the window. He picks it up, and finds a note attached:

Player Report on Danny by Passacaglia

Danny is the #1 Winger on this squad and should start there every game.

Danny’s skills:

GK: 76
CB: 83
FB: 39
CM: 1
W: 98
S: 7
Average: 51

In Danny’s locker, you find teeth marks all over the inside of the door. Danny was a wolf!

WTF mate? You should have just sat on the bench and chilled with me. We could have discussed football and.... not killing teammates.

Great job Alan!!!

I didn't. I conditionally had him in there, but to be replaced if he was lynched.

ok, cool. The wording was a little confusing.

[Lathum]

PAss, are we allowed to talk to our partners on AIM?

[Passacaglia]

The match is a tough affair – the squad falls 0-1 early, but a late goal equalizes, and the match ends in a 1-1 draw. Man of the Match is Darth Vilus. The squad will feel they might have scored more goals, if not for J23, who would not recognize the great game by Darth, and took too many shots himself.

The skill levels, in descending order:

1. Darth Vilus, Striker, 94
2. Alan T, Center Back, 81
3. lerriuqs, Full Back, 65
4. Schmidty, Center Midfielder, 54
5. DaddyTorgo, Full Back, 52
6. JAG, Winger, 28
7. Mia Ow, Winger, 28
8. claphamsa, Winger, 24
9. Lathum, Center Back, 22
10. The Jackal, Goalkeeper, 15
11. J23, Striker, 14

Bench players:

1. LoneStarGirl, 62
2. PurdueBrad, 48
3. Chief Rum, 46
4. Telle, 45
5. GoldenEagle, 43

Total: 633
Result: Draw
Points: 1

Day 2 Begins!!!

Yep. If you don't mind sending me a transcript though, that would be cool. Not a huge deal, though.

[Alan T]

Oh so Danny was a wolf then. Cool. That makes me feel a bit better about Claphamsa now, I don't think he is bad at all. With MartinD also being good, that means neither of the two were a bad guy most likely.

That immediately makes me wonder some about Chief Rum as he seemed to set himself up as the "not wanting to lynch either of them" earlier but then remaining rather flippy floppy on everyone else as well. In reality though with the strong no lynch contingent and the two candidates both being good, I'm guessing the wolves didn't have to try hard to fit in anywhere we made it easy on them. So I don't know if Chief would have stuck his neck out in a spot that it was not needed such as today, but still someone that probably is worth a scan since he can be a very valuable villager (if he can be trusted).

The other person that struck me the wrong way earlier (maybe last night or early this morning, I don't remember which), was some stuff that TheJackal posted. Just sat with me the wrong way. Made me feel too much like how Anxiety used to respond to me when he was a wolf. I didn't feel strong enough about him to put an order in for him though, I was going to see how it played out over a few days. I actually didn't put an order in at all until like 2:58pm ET when Danny really set off warning bells for me.

Don't get me wrong, I don't feel strongly about The Jackal currently, just the top of my suspicion list right now. Saying what I think in case I get killed in the next day or so.

So I have PM rights with Lathum until 3pm ET tomorrow correct?

[Telle]

Ummm.. no night kill?

[Passacaglia]

Correct.

[lerriuqs]

[Passacaglia]

Ask Danny if there was no kill at night!

[Passacaglia]

Wow, you forgot about Danny, too?

[Telle]

So no WOLF kill overnight? Danny was killed by a villager.

wss

None of my games have conversions.

[lerriuqs]

Well Pass is being evasive meaning one of two things IMO.

1. We got a block.
2. Danny was supposed to do the nightkill and there was no backup plan.

[JAG]

Shall we just assume Pass is being goofy and either the BG got a remarkable block or the -2 penalty isn't assessed immediately?

[Telle]

I didn't ask if there was a conversion. I asked if there was no wolf kill overnight. Just wanted to make sure we weren't missing that yet.

If there was no wolf kill, that means either they wolves elected to tamper with the game instead, or Danny was the one set to make the kill and he got killed beforehand.

[Telle]

Oh I forgot about a bodyguard block.. another possibility.

[Passacaglia]

Also, none of my games have roles that require the wolves to pick a killer -- they just tell me who dies. And the -2 penalty would be assessed right away if it happened.

[Lathum]

I am guessing the wolves have to assign who is going to do the kill and the assigned Danny

[KWhit]

Sounds like we got a block!

[GoldenEagle]

I would imagine the wolves tried to kill me last night. The tough guy did a good job of protecting me. If I was the wolves, I would try to kill the best player as well.

Too bad the gaffer thought I was injured and did not play me. We might have won by five or six goals. The league may have given us four points if I was on the pitch!

So that leaves us with the bodyguard block.

[KWhit]

Great job out there today team!

We had some guys playing out of position today and still got a draw. Fantastic result. I'll fix the lineup for tomorrow and we won't be satisfied with a draw for our next game.

Get in there and hit the showers!

And try not to kill any more of each other.

Sheesh!

[DaddyTorgo]

sounds like i wasn't at my best position kwhit - just fyi. since i only threw up a low-50's rating.

[PurdueBrad]

WOW, a ton to look through. Nice job Alan! Wish we could have won but a draw is worth a point anyway.

[Alan T]

Does someone have a final vote count (including people who did not vote if there are any)?

Sorry for being a slacker, I'm having a hectic day at work.

Except you ended up being the least talented of the 5 bench players...

Awesome that we got the BG block. That, picking off a wolf, and getting a point out of our match makes this a fantastic start. I assume you're already doing this KWhit, but I would suggest leaving the following in place for the next game:

1. Darth Vilus, Striker, 94
2. Alan T, Center Back, 81
3. lerriuqs, Full Back, 65
4. Schmidty, Center Midfielder, 54
5. DaddyTorgo, Full Back, 52

and swapping out the bench for 5 of the 6 starters (with the 6th coming in for whoever gets NK'ed) so that you can learn the average value of the players.

Considering how high the average values are for most players, I think it's very likely we'll be able to come up with a winning lineup soon.
