OOC: Would Ashla be able to use slicing to make sure no one's eavesdropping on the chat?

/ She appears to be busy dealing with Jedi masters and kids. I can try though not sure if we can do that or not. /

What's going on?

<OrmontCGa is typing...>
<OrmontCGa>
Hutts want Valkyries to lose tonight's game.
Kneecaps may be at stake.

[D4 LA] Who's Listening (Slicing): 4eA+3eD 1 failure, 3 advantage

<BigRedOne>
A lot of people want a lot of things. We're playing well, doesn't surprise me someone wants to fix a match. Screw that though.

<CaptainAlderaan>
I'm sorry, but I won't be able to attend tonight's game.

<CaptainAlderaan>
Whatever you decide, stay safe. Watch each other's backs, on and off the field.

<AA>
I agree with @BigRedOne. We're not here to throw games

"Do we know who from the Hutts? I have many contacts and could speak with them..."

<CptV> It seems like it may be more than one Hutt. Both Kidaja and Dango have Hutt Ball teams and have a vested interest in it. They are big rivals with each other too, judging from the big game yesterday. I've been getting harassed at various levels from Dango it seems.

It seems like I am not the only getting some slug problems from what OrmontCGa.

"Damn, that's a heavy lot to deal with. Tough to deal with for sure."

<OrmontCGa>
Won't be at game either.
Kick ass and win. Skrogging Hutts don't own me.

<BigRedOne>
If I play I play to win. Captain can always bench me though, you can get some loser newbs to play instead.

<AA>
You'd have to bench me too, because I play to win.

"Personally, I'd like to try and play better than the last game. Need to redeem myself. So I wouldn't throw it either."

"The Hutts aren't someone we want to make enemies of though...So perhaps we should have a chat with them."

<BigRedOne>
What do you say Cap? Can you figure out the problem before the game? I don't mind sitting out with an 'injury' but if I play and don't score it'll look like we're bought. And if I'm not playing I've got other things to do.

<AA>
It would look strange if lots of us sit it out all of a sudden though

<OrmontCGa>
Don't give them the satisfaction. Play your best.

<CptV> Well I don't think that it can be resolved so easily.

Though we can just have a couple of us play with some loser noobs while the rest are out on 'injury'. It can buy us some time to look into things while appearing to conform to their whims. Anyone who actually cares about the team will see that we didn't bring our A game. I will go at the very least to keep up appearances.

Or we play our best with everyone to stick it too them. Only problem is that we are on their home turf at the moment.

Since this affects all of us I don't want to make a call that people are not satisfied with or bring about anything unnecessary. I personally think the 1st option is a better one for now. We can take a set back now to win in the end.

"And what if we still win, even with the noobs? Wouldn't that be even more insulting? I say we just play like normal. I can help handle the fallout, I'm sure of it."

<OrmontCGa>
If you're afraid of the Hutts, sit out the game.

<OrmontCGa>
This might be the Hutt's shit-tin little moon, but how many kneecaps do you think they can break before they get everyone pissed off at them? Can Kidaja really afford to have the Empire and Republic staring right at him? That can't be good for business.

<OrmontCGa>
Too bad I can't skrogging play.

<CptV> Well if we still win with the noobs... that just shows how pathetic the competition is.

Though CGa you do make a good point. Maybe rumours can be spread of Hutt interference? That may make them think twice.

It may be better to get them fighting among themselves and if they think we are being used by both sides they may stop it as they realize the futility of trying to use the same resource.
