We don't necessarily know if the mafia are all one type, but yes it does look like Darkrai performed the kill. Unfortunately, I don't have anything else to add.

What is this alliance business all about?

Yes! Just got back from the Oxford Swindon game. They got our star striker (who rejected an offer to move to Swindon) sent off after 10 minutes, but then we score twice in 2 minutes! Defended our hearts out for 80 minutes with only 10 men, it was quite an unbelievable performance.

Woo, my first win! Even if it was a friendly, I'm glad to have broken my duck. Hat-trick from my top striker as well. I'm looking forward to the league!

Challenge accepted.

Do any of the teams that got knocked out fancy a friendly? Aquila, Cube, Peeps, Winston, Happenstance, Phoenix, Coloccini? I think I could do with some more match practice.

It feels like years since I last played a mafia. I'm certainly in.

Got my arse handed to me by Bubbles. Oh well. I hope my team will perform slightly better when we face off in the league!

I'm unsure of what to do now... do Bubbles FC have to challenge me to arrange the friendly? Also, what time do the matches take place? Sorry for noob questions. I'm pretty sure I heard Jimbob announce your team as Winston Cabbage when it got drawn out of the fez. I personally think Winston Cabbage has a nice ring to it.

@Jimbob, you've missed out MilaGi and Intergalactico Stars. Also, my team name is Yellow Submarine. Thanks once again for doing to draw!

16 teams play each other in the first round with 8 teams having byes. Then 8 teams progress + the 8 teams with byes = 16 teams in the second round.

I've heard cannabis works wonders.

Why can't we do separate draws for each round like the FA cup? You're going to have to draw who plays at home anyway, may as well add some more excitement.

How about start with a round of 32 where 10 teams get byes? It's not ideal, but to me it's seems better than having to knock teams out that won matches.

I'll play, though I'm still getting my head around the rules and mechanics.

In happier news, I have sneaked to the top of the N-E fantasy football league. I couldn't have done it without you, Benoit.

You don't have to have an internet connection abroad, I didn't. It stores all the details on your phone and when you get an internet connection it uploads the stats to the website. So I didn't find out what speeds I got until after my holiday. Beware that the speed it was telling me on my phone was really low/inaccurate for some reason (it was telling me I was only doing 15kph), yet online they were correct. I'll be impressed if you could beat 85.

I have Android and used AlpineReplay. I didn't search very hard; it was the most downloaded app when I searched for "ski tracks" in the marketplace. It's a good app, but you have to have an internet connection to view your stats. The only stats visible without internet on your phone are your current altitude and your speed. The iphone users among us used Ski Tracks, which I think cost 80p. It's better and lets you view all you stats on your phone. You need GPS on your phone for either of these to work. Ha, well I'm sure the run I got my top speed on was a completely empty black run that had a wide piste and a run-off area at the bottom. I said "fuck it" and just bombed it.

Just got back from a skiing trip in Austria. Possibly the best ski conditions they've ever had and I definitely did some of my best skiing. Perfect pistes and hardly anyone else on the slopes. It was a bit cold though; it was -23 on Sunday, so cold that snot was freezing inside my nose. Downloaded an app for my phone that tracks your ski runs. Apparently I had a top speed of 85.5kph, which kind of makes me feel sick! Glad I didn't fall at that speed.

The one that tackled another pokemon from behind? I genuinely find it odd that you've just come and and said this.

Is number 4 an Atari Lynx?

Vote: No lynch

Disappointed I got killed early on (seems to be happening a lot recently!) because this looked like q great game. I was surprised that mr paul wasn't lynched, I thought it was pretty clear that he was evil.

I'm going skiing next week, so unless this starts after the 11th of Feb I won't be able to play.

I'm not exactly convinced by this Nintendohnut lynch either. At the risk of sounding not very pro-active, lynching no-one is better than lynching at random at this point since chances are we'll end up killing a townie. Lynching no-one also doesn't mean that we haven't learned anything from the day phase.
