everyone should just start claiming roles at this point honestly, we need to do something to get some actual good lynches going. This should have been an easy win with 17 town to 6 mafia

GODFATHER - MMFLEX - DEAD MAFIOSO - XSJACK - DEAD FRAMER - OMGITSHIM - DEAD MAFIA MAFIA MAFIA ASSASSIN - DEVISE - DEAD EXECUTIONER - JOSH. - DEAD SERIAL KILLER MAYOR MEDIUM VILLAGER - MATT_O - DEAD ESCORT - GUSTAVMATTIAS - DEAD FISHERMAN - AHAWK2191 - DEAD LOOKOUT - SIXERSFAN549 - DEAD TOWN TOWN TOWN TOWN TOWN TOWN TOWN TOWN TOWN TOWN TOWN Hulk at one point claimed roleblocked, but Gustav claimed he did NOT block him, which means either Hulk is lying, or the consort is in play. Sullvino is claiming tracker I think? Or he could be mafia spy. He did lead the charge on getting Devise killed even though it was clear at that point that he was the Assassin, who had done way more damage to the mafia than to town. MexicanCow has a weird suspect exchange HERE. There's a lot of players who haven't said anything really. Some posts that struck me as odd from Matmenzinger and fonziGG on Day 1. Those two to me seem like:

I didn't have anything to do with Josh's death. i will claim that I was the Master last night, and sent the Assassin to MMFLEX. He was acting a little shifty with the "sounds fun" on the first page with the votes against, and then again he tried to start the lynch later. To me that was screaming mafia trying to look like Jester.

damn that seems like a lot of town

sure

There are 49 players I am confident will be drafted in the S66 VHL draft. There could be more. My cutoff is 100 TPE. There are 11 Centers above 100 TPE in the draft. The best is Hunter Hearst Helmsley, with 326 TPE. The average TPE among centremen, only counting those above 100 TPE, is 185. Centers are close to the best group in the class, with the 2nd best average. This is clearly a forward heavy draft. There are 10 Left Wingers. The #1 LW is Shane Mars, with 295 TPE. The average TPE for LW is 186, good for the highest average in the class. There are only 8 Right Wingers, the best of whom is Mikko Aaltonen, with 231 TPE. The average RW in this draft has 173 TPE, which is the 3rd highest among the positions. Yes, all 3 forward positions are the 3 highest average in TPE (and it's not really close). There are 14 defensemen in the draft, the biggest position group. Their average is dragged down partially because there's simply more players. However, the highest TPE defenseman, Aron Nielsen, also has just 192 TPE, which is 13th. Their average is thus only 145, 4th best, and 28 TPE below the average of RWs. (40 and 41 below Cs and LWs, respectively). There are 6 goalies above 100 TPE, actually quite a decent amount for 1 draft class. The best goalie is Owen May, at 191 TPE. The average for goalies is the lowest, at 141 TPE. Including every player eligible to be drafted, the numbers and averages are: C - 51 players, 69 average TPE LW - 63 players, 61 average TPE RW - 55 players, 53 average TPE D - 61 players, 65 average TPE G - 18 players, 70 average TPE Interestingly enough, goalies leap to the highest average when you include every player. There are a ton of left wingers below 100 TPE, 53 to be exact, which drops the average significantly. The same also happens for RWs, though there were only 47 players below 100 TPE. There's also 47 defensemen below 100 TPE, but the extra players above 100 balance it out, and it seems like there are more defensemen in the range of 31-100 that slightly mitigate the lower average from 30 TPE players.

There are 248 players listed as eligible for the S66 draft. Those 248 player represent 37 different countries, and 4 territories, 1 self-governing dependency, and 1 continent. Unfortunately, for many of these countries, their lone representative will go undrafted. Only 17 of those countries have multiple players even eligible. If we remove everyone who is below 50 TPE, there's only 79 players from 23 countries, 1 territory, and 1 dependency. If we go even further, to 100 TPE, it's down to 49 players, from 19 countries and 1 territory. All numbers from this point only are players with over 100 TPE, unless otherwise specified. USA - Best Player: Hunter Hearst Helmsley The USA leads the way, with 19 draftees over 100 TPE. As it usually is, the league is chalk full of American born players. They have the top 3 players, and could make up at least half the first round. American Samoa - There's 1 player listed from American Samoa, unfortunately he will not be drafted, with only 30 TPE. He would have been the first American Samoan in the VHL. US Virgin Islands - There's also 1 player listed from the US Virgin Isles, though he has well will not be drafted, also only at 30 TPE. Would have been the first from the Virgin Isles in the VHL. Canada - Best Player: Tyler Barabash Jr. Canada has the 2nd most players, with just 5. Though Canada is expectedly the country with the 2nd most players, it's a stark dropoff from USA to Canada. Even within Canada, it's a big dropoff from Barabash Jr to any other players. Sweden - Best Player: Maximilian Kirbsson Outside of the USA, there's not much power in the draft for any one country, though Sweden is probably as strong as you'll get. Outside of the USA, I feel confident in saying that their 1-2 draftee duo is better than anyone else's. Czechia - Best Player: Shawnomir Jagr Czechia is the first of 6 countries with 2 players, your list of typical secondary hockey nations, for the most part. Jagr is a good prospect, and Matt Tocco is not bad himself. Jagr could find himself as a 1st round pick. Russia - Best Player: Dimitri Volosenko The Russian duo is pretty close to the Swedish duo in terms of skill level. Volosenko should be a 1st round pick and Valeri Morozov won't be too far behind. They're definitely the strongest country with more than 1 player, as they don't have 1 or more late round players to drag down the class average. Germany - Best Player: Hans Gruber Germany has 2 players in this draft, and both should go in the middle rounds of the draft. Gruber is the best, but he's not a 1st round pick. It's a deep draft so it's not a knock really, just the Germans don't have the same star power in this draft as the other top countries. Iceland - Best Player: Arnor Sigurdsson Iceland is not known for it's ability to produce hockey players, but here in S66 they have 2 players in the draft. Sigurdsson is a potential 1st round pick, a big achievement for the small nation. Their only other player is a goaltender, who may fall simply because there's so few goaltending spots available at a time. Latvia - Best Player: John Frostbeard Latvia's 2 players are much like Germany - likely middle round draft picks. Frostbeard and Richard Hejtsel are both decent options, just not at the level to compete with the depth higher up in the draft. Finland - Best Player: Mikko Aaltonen Finland has just 1 player, and he's a damn good one. A player with top 5 potential. Aaltonen is the lone Finnish representative, but he's doing a hell of a job representing them. Ukraine - Best Player: Jet Jaguar UKRAINE! Not known for their hockey talent at all, Jaguar will be the only Ukrainian in the VHL after the draft. The country had an undrafted prospect a season ago, who has gone nowhere since, but Jet Jaguar has come in to shine for their hockey program. He will be a 1st round pick, without a doubt. Netherlands - Best Player: Kari Jurri Kari Jurri is right on the edge of the 1st round for this small nation. The Dutch known more for wooden shoes than for skates, but Kari Jurri is a prospect with a lot of potential and would be the only active Dutchman in the VHL. Faroe Islands (Denmark) - Best Player: Aron Nielsen Where? The Faroe Islands are a small territory of Denmark. It would have been a big achievement for the Danish hockey program is Nielsen was from mainland Denmark, but this is truly a spectacular achievement. He's a very good player for an early 2nd round pick. I'm tempted to call him the most spectacular player based on where he comes from, based on skill and location obscurity, but there's some wild stuff in this draft. Switzerland - Best Player: Owen May Switzerland has 1 promising player in this draft, and it's a goaltender. If he was a skater he'd probably be an early 2nd round pick, but he will likely fall due to his position. Not a great draft for this secondary nation. Sri Lanka - Best Player: Nethila Dissanayake Yeah, remember when I said there's some wild stuff? This is some of it. SRI LANKA! A small islands country off the coast of India. If you told me they would ever produce a VHL player, I would have laughed in your face. But Dissanayake has done the seemingly impossible. Right on the end of the 2nd round for likely pick location. Based on the skill level, I'm going to say this is the most miraculous player in this draft. But there's some more wild stuff coming up. South Korea - Best Player: Chico Smeb At least they hosted the Winter Olympics. Turns out that helps produce some skilled hockey players. Smeb has the opportunity to break into the VHL and join last season's draftee Matthew Kai as the only South Koreans in the league. Austria - Best Player: Clayton Park Almost exactly the same situation as the Swiss. Occasionally the Austrians are known to produce decent hockey players, but like the Swiss, in this draft their only player is a goaltender. He's not nearly as strong of a prospect as Owen, so definitely a poor showing from the Austrian program this season. United Kingdom - Best Player: Codrick Past Occasionally they're produced a decent player, but the British don't have much this season. Past is a decent middle round pick. Not a ton of potential, but enough to make a respectable showing coming out of the UK. Cayman Islands - What would be the first player from the Cayman Islands, will not be. He's got 30 TPE, and won't be drafted. Isle of Man - Technically they're self-governing, but are a Crown Dependency and the Queen is their head of state. They're listed under the UK here. Not that it matters, as their lone prospect is highly unlikely to be draft. He has 62 TPE but that might not be enough to make it. St. Kitts and Nevis - Best Player: Beau Buefordsson If Buefordsson was a little bit better this would be the most spectacular thing I've written. St. Kitts and Nevis is a teeny tiny island nation in the middle of the Caribbean. Buefordsson should still make history for the nation, but I still give the edge in spectacularness to the Sri Lankan. Armenia - Best Player: Raphael Nazarians Armenia is a small Asian nation falls right on the line between Europe and Asia. It's very close to some other hockey nations, including bordering on Russia, but they haven't produced hockey players. Nazarians is the first, though he's not a star prospect by any means, he's good enough that he should get his name called on draft night. North Korea - Best Player: Cody Parkey A pretty wild one to round things out. South Korea has 1, and will likely have a 2nd player drafted to the VHL, but this will be North Korea's first. Parkey is not a big time prospect, but he might just make his way into the late rounds of the draft. There were some other countries with players, unfortunately none of their players cracked the list of players I expect to be drafted. He's "the rest": Australia - 3 players, 35 average TPE Italy - 2 players, 33 average TPE France - 2 players, 66 average TPE Japan - 2 players, 66 average TPE Cambodia - 1 player, 41 TPE Hungary - 1 player, 30 TPE Pakistan - 1 player, 30 TPE Tanzania - 1 player, 30 TPE Belgium - 1 player, 82 TPE Afghanistan - 1 player, 30 TPE Singapore - 1 player, 30 TPE Bahrain - 1 player, 30 TPE Sierra Leone - 1 player, 69 TPE Vietnam - 1 player, 30 TPE Antarctica - 1 player, 30 TPE Norway - 1 player, 30 TPE New Zealand - 1 player, 30 TPE Liechtenstein - 1 player, 30 TPE Lithuania - 1 player, 51 TPE
