Also why is editing locked in this forum?

Because permissions suck.

I'll be chatting all things Mafia Championship in this thread rather than this thread, and given the redundancy of keeping this thread open and unlocked alongside the original one, it seems you all will be doing the same.

Greetings, members of The Syndicate!

Your votes have been counted and tallied by Gold Toe, and the result is in!

I am very excited to announce that Golden has been selected to represent The Syndicate in Season 3 of the Mafia Championship. I feel confident that he will do an amazing job.

Let's all cheer Golden on as he shows the mafia universe what Syndicate players can do. Thanks for sending in your votes, everyone!

Members of The Syndicate, I am pleased to present... your nominees for the Mafia Championship Season 3, hosted by Thingyman:

DrWilgy
Golden
Matt
MovingPictures07

PM the sockpuppet account Gold Toe with your preference order of all four nominees. However, if you really do not want to send a ranking of all four candidates, you may submit just one selection or a top two ranking if you wish. Please indicate to Gold Toe clearly your exact preference order, otherwise your submission will be invalid and not counted. We will be awarding weighted points as follows: 3 for highest preference, 2 for second highest preference, 1 for third, and 0 for fourth (last). The nominee who receives the highest weighted accumulation of votes will be sent as our representative!

You have 5 days maximum to send in your votes. This means you must submit a PM to Gold Toe by Tuesday, April 5th at 9:00AM Eastern time. Help make your voice heard by ensuring you send your PM to Gold Toe before that deadline.

Since I have thrown my hat in the ring this year, my partner in crime, S~V~S, will be handling the weighted vote tallying process and will be the only member with access to the Gold Toe account. She will inform me of the winner once the voting period is complete, and then I will make the announcement regarding our Mafia Championship Season 3 representative.

I am incredibly excited that we once again have the opportunity to send someone on behalf of our community at this gathering of mafia's best and brightest, and very much look forward to seeing the player that our community has awarded with that honor.

Thanks for your continued dedication to our site!

Hello, Syndicateers!

I am very excited to announce that we have been invited back to the annual Mafia Championship hosted by Thingyman!

This time it's Season 3. If you aren't quite aware of what this is or want to discuss it with your fellow members, consult this thread for details and discussion.

Essentially, it's a multi-game mafia tournament where many (this year it's 135!) different mafia communities send 1 of their own to represent them. Last year was ridiculously exciting and served as an excellent way to connect with other mafia communities and players. It proved to be a really fantastic opportunity for us, and so I have even higher hopes for this year's outing.

If you want to commit as a possible player on behalf of The Syndicate, please PM me, and do so by 9:00AM Eastern on Thursday, March 31st. We need a quick turnaround, so please get me a decision by then. If you have not PMed me by that time, then you will not be eligible to play. Note that it will be an intense time commitment to play in the Mafia Championship, so be aware of your commitments and schedule before nominating yourself as a potential nominee. I also highly recommend all prospective players to read the content in the thread linked above where Thingyman explains how the tournament will progress before committing.

A list of the players that commit to me by 9:00AM Eastern on Thursday, March 31st will thereafter be made public so that all of us can vote on the player we want to represent The Syndicate via secret ballot. The player with the highest weighted voting score will be sent to Mafia Universe to play the tournament. This voting process will last roughly 5 days so that we can get Thingyman our nominee within a week from now maximum. More details regarding this stage will be provided when the nominees are made public.

Thanks for your prompt attention! I am very thankful to Thingyman for extending an invitation to us again, and I hope we can make an even bigger splash at the tournament this year.
