The Peeps

Guys did you know that Hyde park is like really big

I'll take your job at Namco if you don't want it :p although what is it you do there exactly? That does sound awesome and we'll probably take you up on your awesome offer at some point!

Which will make me fashionably late ;D

I'll be there from about 11 probably

The first election was completely random, I just voted for the first person to put themselves up for it. Now we have information on DuD and I'm thinking in a 'better the devil you know' sense. It concerns me that Sheikah is so willing to get a new leader but for some reason is not putting himself forward? Why shouldn't we vote for you Sheikah? Also Vote: No Lynch

Elect: DuD If someone else wants to be elected then they need to give a good reason.

Happy birthday you Super Cool Guy

Yes, sorry. It will have to be after the weekend though as I won't be home until Monday :p

You have Labour and Conservative (Tories) and there's Liberal Democrats too. Currently we're in a coalition government between the Conservatives and the Lib Dems.

Unless someone wants to come forward as being redirected from Tales to Dannyboy, we know that the bus driver redirection is specifically from person A to person B, not between the two.

I agree with Tales, I think he'll be top.

I was so eager to alleviate your suspicions that I already replied to your post before you even posted it.

I was redirected last night, someone forced me on to a bus.

Spotlight: Mcoy 2-1 Intergalactico, 1 yellow each.

Awesome write-up. I'll comment later when I'm back from work.

Elect: DuD why not

Felt that coming :p good luck town!

You only need to quote the bit after v= so 'naos7it_bl0' Great song btw :p N-Euro Middle League Round Six ***Aqui1a All Stars vs Dragooooo**** All Stars had been doing well until their loss away to Yellow Submarine last round, having drawn three games in a row before then. It seems their loss did nothing to help their form as their players just weren’t making the impact we’ve come to expect from them in this game. Dragooooo took most of the possession in the first half and had 2 attempts on goal but All Stars’ keeper at least was still fit and he saved them both. Dragooooo had 2 further chances in the second half but still couldn’t score while All Stars finally managed a chance on their own which was also saved. A draw may be better than a loss but All Stars would’ve been expecting the win today. Final score: Aqui1a All Stars 0-0 Dragooooo ****Yellow Submarine vs Seahawks FC**** It was a slow start to the game but Seahawks were the ones setting the pace. Keeping most of the possession in the first half, Seahawks were happy to pass the ball to each other and not put too much pressure on scoring but in the 27th minute a frustrated Submarine injured a Seahawks player, forcing them to play seriously and teach them a lesson. In the 29th minute Luciano Aranha scored the first goal for Seahawks which was closely followed up by a goal from a free kick, scored by Jeremias Ríos. The second half started as the first one ended with Seahawks scoring another goal. Jeremias Ríos scored in the 47th minute, putting Seahawks up by three goals to nil. In the 54th minute Kit Cougar of Yellow Submarine found the ball after a corner and scored. Irving Beasley followed suit in the 68th minute by scoring with a header from a cross. The minutes ticked away with Seahawks slipping back into a more defensive stance but in the 94th minute Cappi Lucci managed to take a shot in the penalty area to score a last minute goal for Seahawks. Final score: Yellow Submarine 2-4 Seahawks FC ****Rising Phoenix vs Real Peeps**** The first half was quite close with both teams managing 2 attempts on goal but it was Rising Phoenix who scored first with a goal in the 31st minute, scored by Caupolicán Candelas. The second half began with some drama as Troy McNiven of Rising Phoenix missed a penalty but Francois Auffret made up for it by scoring two minutes later. Meanwhile, Real Peeps had brought on the big guns with two substitutions, both of whom played a part in Real Peeps’ first goal of the game in the 62nd minute – Jimmy Exton scoring after a set-up by Ernst Heinzmann. Despite another substitution for Real Peeps and two injuries forcing Rising Phoenix to change two players late in the second half, Real Peeps were unable to score any further goals but at least managed to cut down Rising Phoenix’s chances of scoring too. Final score: Rising Phoenix 2-1 Real Peeps ****AC Elites vs Leeds M.O.T**** AC Elites were trying hard in this game which took Leeds slightly by surprise. Flink Yang scored the only goal of the first half for AC Elites in the 35th minute. Leeds had a late chance but failed to score. The second half began with a more aggressive approach from Leeds M.O.T which paid off as Emilio Largo was able to score in the 57th minute. AC Elites banded together to stop any more chances and actually had 5 of their own in the second half. It was beginning to look like they would have to settle for a draw until the 81st minute when Dermott Bendle scored! The Elites fans went wild as the final whistle blew and Elites had secured their first win in 4 games. Final score: AC Elites 2-1 Leeds M.O.T ***The Sixty-Fourthers vs Winston Gardens FC**** The Sixty-Fourthers were having a tough time in the first half with Winston Gardens playing a lot better than anticipated. Both teams made two chances in the first half but it was The Sixty-Fourthers who eventually scored first with a goal from Evstathios Panadopolos in the 30th minute. The second half was a completely different story as Winston Gardens had The Sixty-Fourthers on the ropes for the whole 45 minutes, blocking out any chances The Sixty-Fourthers may have had and creating 6 of their own. In the 65th minute, Gardens got their equaliser by way of a free kick scored by Art Wilkins. Winston Gardens continued to play their advantage and didn’t let up, allowing Maxim Herasimienia to get a goal in the 84th minute. Final Score: The Sixty-Fourthers 1-2 Winston Gardens Most Important Result: The Sixty-Fourthers 1-2 Winston Gardens, Winston Gardens move up into third place from sixth with this result while The Sixty-Fourthers are displaced into fourth. Manager of the Round: Dan-Likes-Trees, Winston Gardens, both Winston Gardens and Seahawks had 4 star away wins this round but Winston Gardens had the tougher game so take the award. Best Player: Cappi Lucci, Seahawks FC, Lucci set up two goals in this game and scored a last minute goal for himself, proving he is still a dangerous player as he begins to reach retirement age. N-Euro Middle League Round Seven ****AC Elites vs Aqui1a All Stars**** The first half was full of action right from the start as Scott Page begins with a goal in the 8th minute, giving All Stars an early lead. Max Freund of AC Elites soon settled the score with a set piece free kick in the 13th minute. The first half was drawing to a close but not before Roupen Cherezian was able to score another goal for Aqui1a All Stars in the 37th minute, also from a set piece free kick. All Stars headed into the second half full of confidence, easily holding back AC Elites who only managed one more attempt on goal while All Stars had another 4. Yet the scores stayed the same. Final score AC Elites 1-2 Aqui1a All Stars **Leeds M.O.T vs The Sixty-Fourthers* The Sixty-Fourthers have been on a bad run lately and this game was no different. An injury in the 9th minute saw Arazh Sorai replaced by Oliverio Ribeiro, leaving The Sixty-Fourthers with a slightly weakened defence. Sure enough, in the 19th minute Marvin Townshend scored the first goal of the game for Leeds M.O.T, taking a shot from right inside the penalty area. In the 26th minute Mortimer Marshall broke through to score a second goal for Leeds, who had four attempts total in the first half while The Sixty-Fourthers only managed one. The second half of the game saw Leeds go even more offensive as they made a further five attempts on goal, scoring again in the 62nd minute with a goal from Marvin Townshend. Sarkew Bakir retaliated in the 65th minute with a goal for The Sixty-Fourthers but it was too little too late. Final score: Leeds M.O.T 3-1 The Sixty-Fourthers *****Real Peeps vs Yellow Submarine***** Real Peeps dominated this game, though Yellow Submarine still defended quite well. Possibly working in Real Peeps favour, Burt Lilywhite was injured in the 8th minute and Dantae Servidei was forced to come on in his place which strengthened Real Peeps’ defence as youth is replaced by experience. No goals were scored in the first half despite two chances from Real Peeps but Jimmy Exton managed an early goal in the second half, scoring in the 50th minute for Real Peeps. In the 58th minute, Rufus Smallwood of Yellow Submarine was injured and replaced with Irving Beasley which allowed Yellow Submarine to push forward as their main man was back in defence. In the 77th minute a dangerous play from Yellow Submarine resulted in Real Peeps’ keeper, Michael J Caboose being stretchered off the pitch to be replaced by Horace Biggins, again switching youth for experience and probably benefitting Real Peeps. In the 79th minute Don Martland scored the second goal for Real Peeps, making any chance of Yellow Submarine coming back even slimmer. Final score: Real Peeps 2-0 Yellow Submarine ****Seahawks FC vs Dragooooo**** Seahawks take it easy again in the first half of this game, with Jeremias Ríos being forced to score in the 16th minute after being awarded a free kick. The rest of the first half involved a couple of playful chances from Seahawks and one dangerous shot from Dragooooo which just skimmed the crossbar. In the second half, Seahawks looked to increase their lead and Christiano Aragón was the one to do it in the 62nd minute with a shot in the penalty area. Seahawks attempted to coast through the rest of the game but Dragooooo wouldn’t let them rest and kept pushing forward. They only managed two actual attempts on goal but at the very least they made Seahawks take the game seriously. In the 89th minute their determination was rewarded as Cris Livermore scored for Dragooooo but it was too late in the game for a comeback. Final score: Seahawks 2-1 Dragooooo ****Winston Gardens FC 1-4 Rising Phoenix**** Rising Phoenix may have been wary of Winston Gardens after witnessing them defeat The Sixty-Fourthers away from home last round but their only response was to up their game and show them how an elite league team is supposed to play. Jean-Jacques Piquet scored the first goal for Rising Phoenix in the 10th minute, followed up by two goals from Caupolicán Candelas in the 35th and 44th minutes. Rising Phoenix had 7 attempts on goal in the first half while Winston Gardens had 3. Rising Phoenix didn’t let up in the second half and Troy McNiven scored their fourth goal in the 47th minute. This was when Rising Phoenix decided they could drop their guard but Winston Gardens FC is not a team to just give up and quickly scored in the 57th minute, forcing Rising Phoenix to play out the rest of the game defensively. Final score: Winston Gardens 1-4 Rising Phoenix Most Important Result: Real Peeps 2-0 Yellow Submarine, this result moves Real Peeps into 5th from 8th while Yellow Submarine slip into 7th. Manager of the Round: The Peeps, Real Peeps, Peeps and Zell had the only 5 star rated tactics this round but Real Peeps are the team that won so the award is theirs. Best Player: Caupolicán Candelas, Rising Phoenix, Candelas scored two goals in the first half of their game against Winston Garden and set up another early in the second half, helping to put Rising Phoenix 4 goals ahead before Winston Gardens could score one for themselves.

Personal favourites:

@Jimbob show us the goods!

We can see stars millions of miles away but we can't see closer objects such as planets and asteroids. This is because the light from those stars is reaching our range of vision. The planets are not bright enough for their light to reach us so we cannot see them. Is that about right, @somme? Although it could easily be that planets just aren't bright enough to see but we can see stars (no matter of distance) because of high bright they are. Not sure how that ties in with the curvature of the Earth debate though. I always thought we were able to see it but maybe it is just our eyes tricking us because of the way light bends or whatever.

Sounds cool, I'm in.

I can't see that being of benefit to anyone except the mafia. If people know/believe someone is innocent but there are unsure townies/mafia voting on them, the only way to save that person is to vote no lynch. With no lynches banned, they'd be forced to vote for someone else who they would all have to agree on and none of them may actually be sure of that person. So personally I'd be against that :p
