Likely arriving tonight, but only after the awards voting deadline has passed. The actual game will open tomorrow.

I'd be happy to make you a replacement candidate if you like.

Alrighty, sign-ups are closed.

I'm going to set a hard cap at 18. That's the maximum.

With the game set to begin soon, I will need a finalized number of participants to ensure balance and preparation are ideal. The following folks are in the "maybe" group but not also either the "yes" or "no" groups:

[mention]sprityo[/mention]
[mention]Dragon D. Luffy[/mention]
[mention]sig[/mention]
[mention]nijuukyugou[/mention]
[mention]Quin[/mention]

I'd appreciate it if y'all could make a final call today. Otherwise I will chalk you in as replacement candidates (which are always good to have). Thanks!

One detail I am happy to provide is that the cycles will be 24/24. This won't be a long one.

1. It's a Mafia game! Further details omitted.

2. It was planned a few months back.

3. Nope!

4. Only the experience of seeing the awards presented.

It'll have to start after we close voting for the awards, but yes still generally soon. The voting deadline is now set for Sunday the 27th at 11:59 PM.

You see, this year we're going to play the Sockys instead of merely watch them or present them. It will be a sprawling event covering a week (or so) in which awards are presented over the course of a Mafia game. Special thanks to [mention]G-Man[/mention] for providing the inspiration.

The details of how the game will be structured and specifically themed are not to be revealed at this point. However, we will be very flexible about how many players may participate, even if it ends up being a small number. This is meant to be for fun (as is any game obviously), and it isn't necessary to have this waiting in sign-ups for an extremely long time. However, keep in mind that it will not begin until the Game of Champions has concluded.

So, sign-ups are open. If you want to play, you may play! There are no restrictions and the number can be anything (minimum seven).

Also, keep in mind that soon we will open voting for various award categories as we have in years past. It'll be a hoot. For now you can start to think about the more obvious categories and how you might approach them in the ballot box. Awards will be presented throughout the game, but the voting process will entirely precede it.

[mention]Spacedaisy[/mention] and [mention]juliets[/mention] are working this alongside me and I am grateful.
