i had to decline now before the devil tempted me because i was -this- close. but i just ~know it's a bad idea for me~ atm. saying no officially in here keeps me in check.

plus, we all know the real magic happens in spec chat and as the self appointed Official Hype General of all and any TS representatives on MU, i got a lot of work to do in there~~!!

just so it's clear for all the people nomming me, if I'm the champs rep I will roleplay anime girls the entire time

no you can't change my mind on this

If any that makes it more appealing to me

i want cookies

also yes rping as an anime girl is a plus

if the person sent doesn't role play as an anime girl then how will the other communities know what we're all about

i think role playing as an anime girl should be a requirement regardless of who we send

@Syn is cfc sending u?

Here's the official invite -- I edited it into a spoiler in the OP of this thread as well


INVITATION TO THE MAFIA CHAMPIONSHIP (SEASON 8)

Ahoy there!

I’m very excited to invite your community to participate in Season 8 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 Internet’s 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.

It’s 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 May 7th, but the sooner the better.

The games will take place on Mafia Universe. If it’s 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, there’s 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 8 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 7 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 8 Champion and a winner’s certificate signed by Dmitry Davidoff, the creator of mafia.

This year’s setup: Gold Rush 15er
The setup features 15 roles consisting of the following:

2x Mafia Goons
1x Mafia Roleblocker
1x Town Motion Detector
1x 1-Shot Town Vigilante (n2+)
1x Town Doctor
9x Vanilla Townie

Flips are alignment only.

Relevant mechanics info
- 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 (I’ll 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 Motion Detector action.)
- 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 everyone’s 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.).

3. SEASON 8 TIMELINE

There will be 10 Qualifier Games, and your representative plays in just one of these. They will have start dates ranging from early May to early July. So in other words, as long as your representative can play sometime during that period, they should be good and I’ll make sure they get scheduled into a game that suits their schedule well. I.e. if your rep is busy until June, that isn’t a problem.

The Semifinal Games will be played in July/August, 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

I view this as another Syndicate-friendly setup. While there is some mechanical miscellany involved, it is still spiritually similar to a Heist. Effort rules the day in games of this kind, and that's where we're second to nobody.

I strongly disagree. You're an OG TS'er and I think you'd be great, especially with this setup (and especially with no meta on you )

but I understand if you don't feel like it <3 neither did I

love you!

I appreciate the nom from Dunia

Id do it if sent, and I'm happy to be a sub.

Yay Nook! That's cool!

All this hype is making me dizzy

Looks like we’re going to need to get this show on the road soon. I’ll verify nominations and set up some sort of votey thing.

A number of nominees have unfortunately had to decline or back out due to work demands or the general inability to commit to the big time sink, understandably. This has left us with two accepted nominees:

@NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME and @Kylemii

We can keep this open a bit longer in case anyone else wants to be considered. Otherwise these are our guys, one to be the primary representative and the other the backup. After a few days we can figure out how to best decide that, unless these guys have preferences of their own.

I've already been so id say definitely send kyle if he wants it!

ladies and gentlemen of the jury

I vow, if elected to represent our honored community I promise to uphold the highest ideals of this website.

I will smoke ass. I will eat fast, and most of all....I will sled grass.

sled ass, eat grass, and smoke fast etc

Please post this poem in your very first post

I can't wait for kyle to get free townreads just off being likeable/funny tbh

Looks to me like this is pretty much settled then. We're going to be brilliantly represented by one or both of these fine gents.

@Kylemii and @NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME, y'all ought to make yourselves known in the MU thread, and then bask in the ooohs and aaahs at the arrival of the Syndicate reps.
