DFS Mafia [ENDGAME]

[Epignosis]

Daily Fantasy Mafia

For those unfamiliar with Daily Fantasy Sports, the concept is simple: You select real life athletes from any teams in a given league while staying under a salary cap, and you compete with other contestants based on those athletes' performances in a given day. In this game, spectators will be drafting players as part of their own individual teams, hoping to score enough points to beat all the other spectators (henceforth called "Contestants").

If you sign up as a Player, be aware that before the game begins, you will be assigned a salary largely based on a formula, and you will not know your salary until endgame. Your assigned salary in no way reflects what I think of you as a person or player. The salary will also not be entirely based on the formula, because I will apply a second formula that introduces a bit of "noise" into the salary, reflecting my experience with the industry's algorithms not catching up to a certain athlete's recent production / injuries / or other factors. The bottom line is this: If you sign up for this, don't take your salary personally, and don't take how many times you were drafted personally. This is a game. Two games, really.

If you sign up as a Contestant, you will receive a player list with each individual's respective salaries. You will also receive a salary cap. You will have 48 hours (Day 0) to put together your roster. You must draft the required number of players- no more, no fewer. Everyone will have the same number of players. You may change your lineup at any time during Day 0, but once Day 1 begins, you cannot change anything (we call this "lock"). At lock, you will learn who is a civilian and who is mafia. As the game progresses, the players will accrue points or lose points based on the outcomes of each phase. Additionally, you will have a chatzy to comment on the game as it goes on, but at no point may you advise players of any aspect of the game, whether it's their salary or what's being said about them in the chat. The contestant with the highest number of fantasy points at endgame wins as an independent.

The game is for fifteen players, but an unlimited number of contestants are welcome. Feel free to ask any questions to clear up misunderstandings.

[Epignosis]

And since I picked on Tillman, I'll use the Orioles' color.

Day 0 has begun. It will end in 48 hours (10:30pm EST).

Use this time to check in, practice using the poll feature, formulate suspicions, and discuss how pissed you are that Jake Arrieta couldn't even friggin handle the Padres today. Damn!

[Tangrowth]

FUCKING HYPE!

[Tangrowth]

Lucky for you all, I'm town.

Let's do this.

[Golden]

I am your umpire on duty. Please remember I’m here, use me as needed. Good luck out there, elite athletes, and always remember that as an umpire, it is my duty to be incompetent, biased and open to bribery.

Do you take EFTs?

[Tangrowth]

*crickets*

I know this isn’t Champs but alright. I was hoping I would at least have someone to talk to!

[Epignosis]

This is a closed setup.

[Tangrowth]

This is a closed setup.

Figured, but just wanted to confirm. Thanks.

the thread was locked for me up until just now!

[Tangrowth]

As for the poll... literally the only sport I legit give a sit about ISN’T EVEN ON THERE. What the hell, Epi?

Why is tennis not a sport?

I think Epi accidentally locked it when creating the poll or something. That explains that.

Oops. Didn’t even realize LOL.

Give a sit? Bah. Phone fail.

[abyssum]

what if the only sport i like watching is gymnastics?

[Tangrowth]

Epi, your poll is clearly broken.

[Tangrowth]

Aby, why did you ignore my question? Are you scum? Lol.

[Tangrowth]

VOTES ABYSSUM

[Tangrowth]

But seriously, I will be here off and on all night if anyone wants to chat.

I’m tired of Day 0 already. Let’s solve this game already.

Tennis is ping pong played on the table. -George Carlin.

It's added now, so leave me alone. I'm not adding gymnastics.

Vindication.

[abyssum]

Aby, why did you ignore my question? Are you scum? Lol.

nope, just multitasking with x-files

how are you feeling about your team this game?

OK i don't like your site MP7 bye

[Tsaiah]

Ooh, I see how this works now--we get to play on day 0 while the contestants watch us flounder about.

@ contestant people: I'm cheap but fluffy!

[abyssum]

i can't believe MP7 claimed that 5 posts in a row make him locktown while the thread was locked

@abyssum

Are you town?

I am! And you better be, you promised. :P

[abyssum]

how do mentions work here? just @ and then the player name?

[Tangrowth]

nope, just multitasking with x-files

how are you feeling about your team this game?

By team I assume you mean my alignment rand.

Relieved.

did you really think i was ignoring you here?

[Tangrowth]

It was a joke. "Lock". Get it?

But seriously, it's mostly my fault, I just realized. I was editing the first post with mentions and Epi must have been editing the same iteration, so when I submitted mine, and then later he submitted his poll, the thread get confused. Lol.

And this is what I get for helping you out, Epi.

I am, promise.

[DharmaHelper]

The good news is I'm here.

[ColinIsCool]

Let’s lynch MP

[Tangrowth]

how do mentions work here? just @ and then the player name?

Yep, you got it.

That said, it's slightly different than MU. Once you type in "@" and then the first couple letters of a player's username, a prompt will pop up, then just select that prompt or hit enter and it will insert the mention tags for you.

No, haha, just messing with you.

Oh great, it's this guy.

Mr. I'm Retired From Mafia.

Let's lynch your ass D1.

[Tangrowth]

Let’s lynch MP

No u Colin

[ColinIsCool]

@ contestants I’m ready to let you down

[Tangrowth]

Actually I'm starting a "LYNCH DH" campaign because he's retired anyway and never wants to play, so why not just get rid of him first?

[ColinIsCool]

Let’s lynch MP

No u Colin

Townread MP for now

[Sloonei]

Chris Tillman is with the Rangers’ organization now.

This post can’t be both non-player blue and pedantic pink, I’m sorry.

[Epignosis]

Relevant information has been sent to all contestants. If you are a contestant and you did not get a PM, let me know privately. If all rosters are in within the next 23 hours, I will begin the Day 1 tomorrow night instead.

[Tangrowth]

Alright, time for dinner and more errands. Be around more using phone off and on.

As for the contestants, you want me on your team. I won't disappoint. *gestures at ISO already*

[Epignosis]

That makes me smarter than people who work for the Texas Rangers then, doesn't it?
