  1. Congrats to Team France. Huet was on his game and Canada wasn't clicking.

      Need to cut down on the unnecessary penalties.

  2. I have nothing besides gut feelings as to who`s mafia but I`m not.
  3. This seems like something a mafia would say when they're being found out to ensure another killing of a TP. vote3 Kesler87
  4. How about me? I haven't voted yet. Anyways, vote2 Big Mike for only coming out with his 'role' after Toews got all threatening and for having many stipulations on his 'role' which all serve to protect him from suspicion so far.
  5. I've already outed myself in the thread. Don't see why I need to PM you to. Investigate me if you want. But if you Vig kill me, you're killing an innocent pirate.
  6. It would be helpful in such situations like so the Vig knows who not to target, such as this past round, or votes are wasted on a confirmed TP. This is partly remedied by the Vig now being in the alliance, but that's along the lines I was thinking. After Toews' response, I can see how it could help the mafia too. That's why I dropped it.
  7. Lost track of time. Haven't read through the last couple pages. vote1 Mau5trap just to make sure I voted this round.
  8. So that we have a confirmed TP? But, all right, you don't have to.
  9. Doesn't mean he isn't a mutineer cook. I only came out when I did, because you mentioned that another vote negator had contacted you. I thought it was best to come out earlier rather than later if there's two of the same role, and I gained nothing from acting alone as a vote negator. I could negate your double vote if I need to prove my role. How are you '100% not mafia'? Not saying that you are but it doesn't seem like there's a lot of proof that you aren't.
  10. Finally got my N! F yeah!

      Reputation: 911. It's a sign.

  11. The name of my role is the Sailmaker and it's a vote negator, not a role negator. 2 vote negators (apparently). and 2 vote doublers.
  12. I'm a vote negator and I'm TP. Investigate me if you want to. I haven't chosen to block anybody's vote yet.
  13. I frequent two tennis forums to catch up on news and opinions and what really bugs me is the huge arrogance of fans of different players. In hockey, we call teams 'insulting' nicknames (Lames, Coilers, Cannots, Queens) but it isn't done with a ton of malice. But on these tennis forums, the huge amounts of butthurt whenever their favourite player loses, and the stuff that is said the other way towards the fans of certain players when said player loses. These forums aren't moderated as tightly as CDC, which is a detriment, because you will have multiple (and I'm talking 5+) virtually identical threads about the same loss saying how that player's career is officially on the decline, or 'will there ever win another title?', or '[player name] has plateaued'. The worst is when a player whose playing style they don't like loses, then there will be multiple posts of '[name of winning player] has saved tennis'. What? You don't like the playing style of a player. Fine. The other guy didn't 'save tennis' by preventing that player from going further in the tournament. Now, specific to Raonic, he is especially hated by the majority of posters on both forums because of his serve dependent playing style. He'll frequently be called 'serve-bot' and other derogatory names. He gets no recognition for his achievements (such as recently achieving 9th in the world) and after every loss it's '[winner] saves tennis', 'serve-bot's serve didn't work today, did it?', etc. On one of the forums, a poster predicted that if Raonic's play didn't drop too far from the level he played at to defeat Ceuvas, then he should beat Berlocq. After Berlocq beat Raonic in two sets this morning, that poster was being called a 'Canadatard' by multiple posters and any effort to defend him/herself was dismissed as trolling by the posters who hate Raonic. Another thing I hate is the swing in favour and opinion of those tennis fans. Last year, when Jerzy Janowicz made the Wimby SF, Janowicz was made out to be a god, the best player from his generation (which includes Raonic, and Dimitrov). Now almost a year later Janowicz has had no major success and once he fails to defend his Wimby SF points will fall out of the top 30. Now those fans think Janowicz is nothing and that he only had a lucky draw, something they obviously were not attributing his success to just after Wimbledon. When Wawrinka was outside the top 10 and on the wrong side of 25, those fans wrote him off as having plateaued. Since he's won the Australian open and Monte-Carlo and climbed to 3rd in the world (despite being 29), now he's the 'saviour of tennis'. Dimitrov, a few months younger than Raonic, reached his first Gram Slam QF and won his first ATP 500 title this year, neither of which Raonic has done yet (Raonic has reached GS 4th rounds, and is 0-4 in ATP 500 finals). In place of Janowicz, Dimitrov is now being made out as the best player of that generation, despite the fact Raonic is ranked higher, has had more consistent results, and has won more titles overall (all of them ATP 250 though). Even I can see that Dimitrov is a very good player but labelling him as the best of a generation after 4 great months, even though Raonic has had a very good, consistent 3 years on tour is hardly fair. I just needed to get all that off my chest. I've been holding that all in because nobody else in my family or friends really follows tennis and I don't get a chance to discuss it much. I can only read those forums which only frustrates me more in the long run.
  14. I think the TSN Plays of the Year was rigged. For at least 7 hours, the votes were stuck at 37,771 for Hank, and 35,686 for Tatar. Even if you add votes, which I did, and you go back later you'll see 37,771 vs 35,686. Of course, the fan base whose player is currently winning feels less incentive to keep voting. Therefore, more Detroit fans vote and since it maintained the 37,771 vs 35,686 score for at least 7 hours, they kept voting at a high rate, which I couldn't see. The results th...

      This was rigged last year. One of the Datsyuk plays was losing and all of a sudden gained about twenty thousand votes in the last twenty minutes. Ended up a Datsyuk v Datsyuk final...

  15. Lucic should not be playing. He should still be serving his minimum 5 game suspension. I think his suspension should have been more than the 7 games Cooke got.

      It's the NHL and he's on the Bruins.. He could bring a gun to the game and just get 2 minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct

      Lucic is a cretin .. plain and simple

  16. What I don't like about the new playoff format is that the final 4 teams won't necessarily be the 4 best. They'll just be the top team from 4 geographical groupings.

    1. TheRussianRocket.

      Yea, don't like the playoff seeding format. Divisions I like since they make more sense, but the seedings are bad in the long term/near the end of the playoffs. Beginning sure we'll see great matchups but they might be better than the later ones.
