Hello guys.

If I'm posting this in the wrong place or if this is an unwanted post, I apologize and please of course feel free to delete it, but I'm very much hoping this will be interesting to you.

Invitation to The Mafia Championship Season 2

In 2013-2014 I hosted a Mafia Championship that featured more than 100 different players from more than 45 different werewolf/mafia communities. Each community chose their best player to represent them and they battled it out. The best players from the initial games advanced to a finale game where an ultimate winner was decided. The event was endorsed and supported by the creator of mafia himself (Dmitry Davidoff) who even offered to have a private chat with the ultimate winner. Overall it was a huge success and spawned many cross-over games between sites. I am hoping that you guys will want to participate in season 2

If you are interested, I need one representative to play on behalf of your community. How you decide this representative is completely up to you.

Now, this part is important: You should of course be aiming to send one of your best players. But more important than that, that person needs to be able to participate adequately in terms of activity. Be prepared for up towards 500 posts per 24 hours during the early stages of the game. More on the game format below.

The current plan for season 2

•   65 different communities will be represented.
•   1 player per community for the entire season (preferably).
•   5 qualifying games will be played with 13 players each.
•   2 players advance to the finale from each game based on post-game votes.
•   3 additional players are granted wildcard spots.

Game setup

The game will have a very basic mafia setup: 3 mafia members, 9 vanilla townies and 1 cop. The cop starts the game with a random vanilla townie peek. Roles revealed upon death.

Some communities are not very used to playing basic setups like this, but for the first season, we utilized a setup with a good share of power roles, so this time around we are trying something new. For season 3 we will switch it up again.

Days will last 36 hours and nights 12 hours, meaning 48 hours (2 days) per game day. With one exception: The weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) will be one game day (so day will be 60 hours and night 12 hours on weekends). This means the game will last a maximum of 2 weeks.

Timeline

The first game is set to start April 6th. The other four games will take place in the 1-3 months after that. I will make a Doodle and find out the best times to start the 5 games so that preferably everyone gets to play during a time that suits them well.

In addition to this, it is also a priority to ensure as much as possible that all the players in any given game has no prior history of playing with each other to ensure a level playing field (but I cannot 100 % guarantee that this won’t happen).

Webadict, we need you to come out of retirement for one final Mafia game.

Thingyman: This is the right subforum to post in, but you should probably create a new thread for it.

I vote notquitethere.

[4maskwolf]

very interesting...
I think that each year we should send the current King of the Mafia, and if they don't want to they can nominate another player, and if that player doesn't want to go they can nominate someone else, and so forth.  Which means that I am behind sending Toaster to this.

Of course, we'll want to send an active player, so Idk who that'd be.  Who's our best played who has a high activity level in general, preferably someone who's been around for a couple years so they'll be able to represent our playstyle.

4maskwolf would probably experience the most unbridled glee at playing in it.

Interesting. I haven't been playing here long enough to know who's the best, so.... I cant really help here...

[Cheeetar]

4maskwolf would probably experience the most unbridled glee at playing in it.

I'm... not sure if that's a jab at me, my suggestion, or what...

I hoestly don't think I'm veteran enough to play in this.

It's the truth- I think you'd enjoy it a ton, and have the energy for it that I and probably a lot of other players wouldn't.

Okay.  Sorry about my reaction, generally I get that when someone is making a jab at me in meatspace, and you and I aren't always on the best of terms sometimes in game.

Right place, but needed a new thread so I split it out. This way we can keep the conversation here on topic and the games threshold thread on topic for it.

[4maskwolf]

Right Mephansteras has moderator powers on this forum.

Forgot about that, he hasn't had to use them in a while.

I created a thread about this, but Mephansteras beat me to it.

[Cheeetar]

Whoah. Thanks Meph.

[Peradon]

You know what would be hilarious? Having Shakerag play. His sarcasm would mess with so many people....

[Jack A T]

Jim, Shakerag, Toaster, or (even if only to leave people absolutely clueless about the local style) NQT.

[Cheeetar]

Who would be more disappointed if Shakerag won: us, or the other people playing the game?
