INVITATION TO THE MAFIA CHAMPIONSHIP (SEASON 7)

Ahoy there! :)

Im very excited to invite your community to participate in Season 7 of the Mafia Championship.

The Mafia Championship is an annual forum-based tournament series that pits representatives from various online Mafia (aka Werewolf) communities against one another as they compete to determine the Internets greatest forum Mafia player. Each participating community democratically elects one person to represent them and be their Champion.

The tournament first started back in 2013. Since then, 320+ different communities and 50+ different nationalities have been represented.

Its a super fun event that has created many new friendships and close bonds between communities. I hope that you would be interested in taking part :)

1. DO YOU ACCEPT THE INVITATION?

If your community wishes to participate, please confirm your participation to Lissa as soon as you can to ensure yourselves a spot. Currently, the plan is to accommodate 150 communities this season. If there is further interest, additional communities may sign up as substitutes; generally there are some replacements needed both before and during games.

If your community agrees to participate, the deadline for selecting your representative is [b]April 27[/b], but the sooner the better.

The games will take place on Mafia Universe. If its okay, I can link directly to the general discussion thread regarding this topic on Mafia Universe.

Important notes

• ]You may decide yourselves how you want to elect your representative, but we highly recommend some sort of democratic process (public nominations followed by a poll usually works out well).
• In addition to electing a representative, you should also name an alternate who will be asked to step in if the first choice needs to back out. Your representative should be prepared for having to read upwards of 500-600 posts per 24 hours during the early stages of the game. Additionally, theres a requirement that each player must make at least 10 posts per Game Day. Only active players should apply/participate. I repeat: Your chosen player needs to be able to promise a good amount of activity on a daily basis.

2. SEASON 7 FORMAT

The tournament structure

• 150 communities will participate, each sending one representative.
• QUALIFIERS:10 Qualifier Games will be played, consisting of 15 players each. I.e. every representative plays in one Qualifier Game. The players themselves vote post-game to determine who is deserving of advancement. 1st and 2nd place will advance to the Semifinal Games.
• SEMIFINALS: A Jury consisting of finalists from Season 6 will select 25 additional players to advance to the three Semifinal Games. From each game, five players will advance to the Finale Game based on a post-game player vote, just like in the qualifying phase
• .THE FINALE: The Finale Game is played. Once it has completed, the players vote to determine who shall receive the title of Season 7 Champion and a winners certificate signed by Dmitry Davidoff, the creator of mafia.[/list]

This years setup: JOAT^2
The setup is called JOAT^2 and features 15 players.

The setup consists of the following:

3x Mafia Goon
2x Town Jack Of All Trades (9x Doctor, 9x Motion Detector, 9x Tracker)
10x Vanilla Townie

Note that the Jacks Of All Trades must use all three actions before repeating an action, i.e. they are rotating. This does not mean they must use the actions in the same order every time.

Relevant mechanics info
- Day start.
- Majority lynch is enabled Day 2+, but majority is not required at any point in order to lynch.
- Tied votes will result in a player being lynched at random from among the tied players.
- No outside communication. I.e. you may not contact the other players outside of the thread (unless you are Mafia and wish to speak with your teammates).
- Phase Lengths and Deadlines will be up to the players themselves (Ill organize your representative into a game with deadlines that suit their preferences).
- Thread is locked during Night Phases.
- Votes are automatically locked in at LYLO.
- Mafia factional kills are assigned. They can be tracked, watched, roleblocked, etc. (In this setup, that means they display as an action to the Tracker and the Motion Detector actions.)
- Mafia share a factional Night Kill, which is a single standard shot for their faction. The mafia faction kill is mandatory.
- Mafia may communicate at any time.
- Each individual player may make a maximum of 150 posts per day phase (this restriction is lifted 2 hours before day end).
- The game will have a host to oversee everything and make sure everyones following the code of conduct, but otherwise the game is completely automated (automatic votecounts, thread locks and reveals roles automatically, the bot receives and processes actions, etc.).

3. SEASON 7 TIMELINE

There will be 10 Qualifier Games, and your representative plays in just one of these. They will have start dates ranging from late April to mid-June. So in other words, as long as your representative can play sometime during that period, they should be good and Ill make sure they get scheduled into a game that suits their schedule well. I.e. if your rep is busy until June, that isnt a problem.

The Semifinal Games will be played in July, and the Finale Game sometime in August/September (whenever we can work out something that suits everyone).

If you want to get in contact with me ASAP, you can find me on Discord (Lissa#8083).

Kind regards,
Lissa

lol I guess Lissa wasn't able to find this one? or couldn't make an account. I wonder if there are other gamefaqs communities that should be invited besides just board 8

Anyway, who wants a crack at it this year

She just asked me to help out so I did.

I think @turbopuns3 had some interest as did @DoomTheGyarados

And we usually go under the gamefaqs umbrella even though we usually say we are board 8. CE had a community and Tange said the football forums had one, but I believe most of their players move here more or less.

Dels would probably know better about ce at least. I dont remember warlock's username now to ask him

It is clobbering time.

---

i humbly decline the invitation

---

Red isn't interested I don't think. He hasn't shown interest in the past

>_>

I'll take up the mantle, so long as meowing in games is allowed~

But um really.. Compared to the activity here, that's like... Nothing. A game/player here is considered to be inactive if it doesn't make twice those numbers...

I believe I should be the one to do it. I am clearly at the height of my playing ability lately, so no need to send other players :O

---

Keeping this alive

Practice games are running now if you want to test the mu waters. Mash just wrapped. I had a blast!

---

Saving this again. Did puns ever respond?

@turbopuns3

---

Oh. Nah, I'm good thanks for the mention though. Chris would probably get a lot more enjoyment from it than I would

Can Chris heat check his way through the rest of the internet?

My gut says yeahhhhh

bump again

Remember that one time yinz asked me to do it and someone who never even really plays here swoops in and was like nope I am gonna do it. Lol

No

There is another Shad on MU and he actually has a similar posting style/ personality to you. Dels had to assure me it wasn't you

---

Or is it?

Shaduln posted...

Or is it?

It's not you

It's Tony

---

Fun fact that's also my name.

Well, kind of.

---

Shaduln posted...

No

That's okay. Others remember.

---

Oh yeah, I remember that. Everyone here got together to beg Corrik to finally give us a worthy representative and after I bribed him with a new kitchen table he was nice enough to agree but then that jerk from Greenland showed up and demanded he be allowed to do it and everyone just rolled over and let him and I was out a kitchen table with nothing to show for it.

I may be off on a few of the details.

Close. Scare nominated me and a couple of others said yeah let corrik do it if he wants to. Then paratroopa came in and said he was gonna do it. And I said I didn't care cuz I have no interest in it.

Close.
