That was my first game, I WAS a ninja, and I survived to the end to lose it.

huh, my memory was way off!

Isquen kind of reminds me of FFXIV mafia here. I was commuter, he countered ninja (which he wasn't) which made no logical sense because ninja and commuter are not the same thing and tried to lynch me for it. Most of his posts made no sense to me and we ended up lynching him (we were both town)

I think Isquen just has a unique way of thinking

Still catching up but

Let's see:
-Chang suggested lynching a role so town gets no information, and hasn't posted his flowchart. He's currently my top suspect.
-I don't like how defensive and facetious Ben is being right now either. But I really don't know what to make of it.
-Lopen is acting towny like the end of the last game. That's good.

...yeah I gotta reread everything and place who's saying what, because right now I am all @_@

Yeah, maybe it's because it's Saturday night, and not very many of us were around to shitpost. That's all I was doing, xD

This feels overly defensive. You have one joke vote no need to be like "i was just shitposting guys tee-hee"

What are you afraid of?

No, although I'm more forgiving with older games because technological limitations prevented them from putting hints into the game directly

I've played both, but the All-Stars version much more often

A few ground rules:
-Please say which level you are on when you post your pick. In most cases it will be obvious, but this makes it easier for me to record the picks.
-The deadline to make a pick is before the official kick-off time of the game in question. You cannot pick a game that has already started. Some levels may have different deadlines, so read carefully.
-The deadline to answer the bonus question is at the start of games on Sunday (1 PM ET).
-Please don't edit your picks. If you'd like to change, please do so in a clearly labeled new post.
-I get my spreads from an online site providing lines from several sources, both in Vegas and out. Although these sources may continue to change their lines throughout the week, the ones I post in the topic are frozen and final for our purposes.
-You may use bonus points to skip any level after it is guaranteed you cannot pass it (at the end of the week's games, typically). You may only skip the level before I have posted the next week's topic. The price for skipping is in proportion to the level you are skipping. Skipping level 1 would take 1 bonus point, level 2 will take 2, level 5 will take 5. So on and so forth.

Explanation of Levels:

Level 1: Pick a winner. Simply pick one team to win their game. If they win, you go on to level 2.

Level 2: Pick an Underdog to win. You must pick a team that is an underdog to win their game. Underdogs will always be the team listed second.

Level 3: Level 3: 2 Games with Spread. Using the spreads I provide, pick 2 games. You must get both correct to move on. Spreads work by giving (-) or getting (+) points. The team that is the favorite to win "gives" points to the underdog. If you choose the favorite to win, they must still win after "giving" those points to the underdog. If you choose the underdog, you would be correct if they win the game after "getting" those points. For example, if a game says "Giants (-2.5) vs. Cowboys," if you pick the Giants, they must actually win the game by at least three points; if you pick the Cowboys, you would win if they actually won the game or lost by two points or less.

Level 4: 2 Game differentials. Pick two games and specify them to have a score differential of either 10+ or 5-. Make sure to specify which you pick, if you pick a score to be 10+ and the score ends up 3 apart, you do not advance. You do not need to pick the winner, as long as the differential is correct, it does not matter which team wins.

Level 5: 2 Over/Unders: I will now provide over/unders for each game. This number relates to the final score. You must choose 2 of the games and decide whether the final score will be OVER the number I provided or UNDER the number I provided. You must get both of these correct to advance.

Level 6: Pleaser: Pick one team to win using the spread, but with the pleaser, you lose 6 points on the spread. In other words, add six points in whichever direction makes it harder to win. For example, a (-2.5) spread becomes (-8.5), a (+3.5) becomes a (-2.5) spread, etc.

Level 7: QB, RB, WR: Pick 1 player to throw a touchdown pass, 1 player to rush for a touchdown, and 1 player to catch a touchdown pass. They must all be from different teams, and must also combine for at least 4 touchdowns in their respective positions. Typically you will be picking a QB, RB, and WR, but you may pick players from other positions to fill those roles (i.e. a TE or RB to get a receiving touchdown). You must make it clear what role you are picking the players for if it is not the standard QB/RB/WR or QB/RB/TE. If the player gets a touchdown in a different way (i.e. your rusher getting a receiving touchdown), it does not count.

Level 8: 5 Game Teaser: This is the opposite of level 6. Instead of losing 6 points on each spread, you actually gain 6 points on each spread. But you have to get all 5 games right to move on. So a team favored by 9.5 will now only have to win by 3.5, a team that is getting 2.5 points will now be getting 8.5 points.

Level 9: Rank 'Em: Pick starting quarterbacks and rank them in order of passing yards they will have this week, from most to least. You must get the entire order correct. TWO CHOICES: You may rank three quarterbacks whose team wins the game, OR any four quarterbacks. All selected quarterbacks must start their game. You must pick all players at once; you cannot make a partial pick to complete later.

I just checked, in 21 world cups, a team not from SA or Europe only made it to the semifinals once: South Korea, in 2002, who was hosting the cup.

Unless you count Turkey and Soviet Union, but they are also from Europe. Turkey also reached the semifinals in 2002, Soviet Union in 1966.

That's one hell of a regional domination.

USA made the semi-finals in the very first World Cup tho

With Japan and the US out I'm pulling for Portugal because I like their flag the best

good thing I'm already in last place

Hasn't Genshin been around for years how is it even eligible

Finally getting around to starting, but my tradition is to restart for all three and trade the first two to someone to hold until I get to my real file. Anyone around who could do that for me? I've reached the first trade spot for the first round already.

I can help if you still need it!
