Board 8 > Mafia Champ Season 9 Invitation

(+) Yeah! (+)

1. DO YOU ACCEPT THE INVITATION?

• 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 (a back-up) 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 600-700 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!

1. SEASON 9 FORMAT

• QUALIFIERS: 9 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 8 will select 27 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 9 Champion and a winners certificate signed by Dmitry Davidoff, the creator of mafia.

• Day start.
• Majority elimination is enabled Day 2+, but majority is not required at any point for the elimination.
• Tied votes will result in a player being eliminated 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 share a factional Night Kill, which is a single standard shot for their faction. The mafia factional 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 1 hour 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 alignments automatically, the bot receives and processes actions, etc.).

1. SEASON 9 TIMELINE

THE FINALE: The Finale Game is played. Once it has completed, the players vote to determine who shall receive the title of Season 9 Champion and a winners certificate signed by Dmitry Davidoff, the creator of mafia.

12-3 is great when you have 15 good players tbh.

12v3 mountainous is balanced if the players are competent, which they would hopefully be in something like this (if cross-community friction doesn't get in the way.)

Yeah I like solvy/skill focused setups but honestly the more 'competitive' parts of MU are just too dry and lacking in unpredictability/variety for me after this site's games. I also find that its players tend to go "you play weird you must be scum" if they don't know you (yes I have a grudge). The weird/role madness/bastard games are fun, though!

Bump

Need to know if we're sending a rep over and who it may be

Meow?

This rule sucks and continues to suck by the way. Tiebreakers much better.

Also on another note, the certificate from Dmitry is still intended to be a thing, we just have design issues; I'm hoping to actually get around to getting that done for this season though and have them sent out retroactively as well!!
