The Syndicate

That is a lot of communities. That means many of the qualifying games may only send 1 player to the championship.

Actually, I'm pretty sure Thingyman is allowing 2 players from each qualifying game to move on to the Finale game, and mathematically it should be possible even if all communities send 1 participant.

He invited 136 communities; there will be 8 qualifying games with 17 players each which = 136.

With 2 taken from each qualifying game, that'd be 8 x 2 = 16 players, then I presume 1 wild card taken from the wild card game, rounding out a total of 17 for the Finale game.

He can correct me if I'm wrong though.

I'll probably get into the Skype chat as soon as someone I know is playing.

It's a tight race guys, don't forget to vote!

Good to know, thanks Thingy!

I echo the sentiment by Gold Toe; be sure to get your votes in! You now have less than 48 hours since the voting period ends 9:00AM Eastern on Tuesday, April 5th.

A little more than 12 hours to vote; we have a tight race. Get those votes in!

I had no idea there were that many Mafia communities.

Neither did any of us until we had our CloseEncounters moment when Thingyman contacted us.

best post of the thread tbh.

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!

Congrats Golden

Golden Goes Gallantly Galloping into the Great Gauntlet of Grueling Goon Gaming.

Good luck Golden. Will cheer you and Marco on but if you're both in the finals have to go for my home site :P

If that happens just cheer for whoever is most likely to win. :P \

Congrats Golden! If you don't win you're out of the family AND you've got to walk home.

If they're both in the finals I am betting on Marco as I know in-depth how skilled he is. Golden could be better but I haven't seen much of his work.

What a um... Great opportunity for Golden!

G\o/lden!

He's a coward to be honest. Doesn't stand a chance.

yay Golden

Golden will destroy them all muhahahahaha!

Gratz Golden!

May your opponents feel the same level of frustration and hopelessness we feel playing against you.

RYM's rep will be decided tonight too.

Adrift?

Haha, of course Soneji! I hope that if I end up playing with players from some of our sister sites, we end up on the same side.

Thanks all. I don't feel hugely confident, especially given how busy I am currently (I saw both TH and JJJ get buried by post counts, it felt like) but I'll do my best.

He's clearly scum.

Congrats also to Sloonei. Lets hope we see each other on the same side of the battlefield come the finals!

Thanks! This was the first I'd heard about it, I confusedly went and checked RYM after clicking on this thread. But Golden is correct! I'll be representing RYM this year, I'm really excited to play alongside/against Golden and all dem other champs.

Sloonei has a great chance to make some noise, primarily because I'm not going to be hosting his game.

Because, as shown in watchmen, I'm right about sloonei 100% of the time.

Also, I said it on RYM already, but congratulations to Sloonei as well! Definitely well deserved. I'll be cheering you and Golden on for sure.

Congrats guys! I know you will do us proud!!

Congrats Sloonei!!

Way to go Sloon!

May you both be fearsome competitors, and yet also charming.

Here is the game schedule for the Championship!

Golden is in Game 4, which starts May 16.

Sloonei is in Game 6, which starts June 6.

And we have other champions who have recently joined our mafia community because they were awesome enough to volunteer for the Mafia Championship Scrimmage game (currently in progress):

Marco from Naruto Forums is in Game 1, which starts April 25.

Dyslexicon from PersonalityCafe is in Game 2, which starts May 2.

Let's wish them all good luck! And be sure to add Thingyman on Skype to join the official spectator chat at any time (it's a lot of fun!), and/or visit Mafia Universe to watch the games progress starting April 25th.

And Zexy will also be in heat 4.

Game 1 has started today!

Let's wish Marco from Naruto Forums good luck!
