Gratz Golden!

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

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.

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.

Posted: **Wed Apr 06, 2016 2:05 pm**

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.

Way to go Sloon!

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

Posted: **Thu Apr 21, 2016 9:32 pm**

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.

Posted: **Thu Apr 21, 2016 10:17 pm**

And Zexy will also be in heat 4.

Yes!! Sorry Zexy. I felt like I was overlooking someone...

Posted: **Sat Apr 23, 2016 9:32 pm**

Yeah, I have that skype group going and it's interesting. Also, gonna try to watch them on MU as well when I can.

Posted: **Mon Apr 25, 2016 8:36 am**

Game 1 has started today!

Let's wish Marco from Naruto Forums good luck!

Posted: **Mon Apr 25, 2016 8:40 am**

Also, I want to emphasize now that the games have begun, let's keep in mind this request by Thingyman:

Thingyman wrote:I want to talk about and spectate the game - what do I do?

If you wish to actively spectate and show support for your representative, then there are two ways of doing this.

1) There will be a private spectator thread on the site for each game that you may request access to. Simply register on the site and PM the user "Thingyman", and I will add you. Feel free to spectate games that your representative isn't in as well. These threads are published after the game completes.

2) We have a spectator chat on Skype, with currently more than 140 people in it. It's very active and fun, I highly suggest you join it if you have Skype. Just add me: thingyman. Please let me know which community you hail from when adding me.

None of these two chats/threads will be spoiled!

Finally, we kindly ask that you refrain from commenting too much on the games in public on this forum, as the other representatives will easily be able to find and read through this (as has happened in the past). I can't control what you do here, but out of respect for the integrity of this Championship, it's best if you don't discuss your reads on your representative or the other players or make comments that could potentially indicate your reads. I.e. even something like "oh man, our representative is totally being his usual self right now" is not good. Speaking very generally about what has happened so far in the game (so as to update your fellow community members) without commenting on it is fine though.

I hope this doesn't seem too strict to you guys, but the game can become very uncomfortable (and unfair) if there is discussion about it outside of the game thread. If you want to have your own private spectator chat, that is of course also totally fine and I even encourage it (I'd love to be added if you make one of these)

I wish your representative and your community all the best of luck for this season!

Marco has the best description in that game.

The text was done by Soneji and the gif by Aries.

I was going to say, that sounds like Soneji! Nice. I agree that the bio is well done.

Posted: **Mon Apr 25, 2016 9:05 am**

By the way, I'll be hopping in the skype spectator chat whenever I can, but it probably won't be much until after the semester is over late next week. I hope to see many of you there!

I don't even use skype ever except for this spectator chat; it was definitely fun last year, so I'm looking forward to it. I'm hoping to keep more in touch with what happens in the games other than just the one our rep is playing too, as last year I paid incredible attention to Game 3, somewhat to Games 1 and 2, and none to the others, until the Finale.

Posted: **Mon May 02, 2016 4:01 am**

Game 2 has started! Wish me luck!

I can be too sentimental at times. Only when presenting awards/doing bios though.

You could tell it was me just by reading it? I'll have to remember this if I'm ever mafia against you

Good luck in Game 2, sprityo, and good luck to Dizzy from Personality Cafe as well!

Posted: **Sun May 15, 2016 3:12 pm**

My game begins tomorrow. Hope some of you have the chance to follow along, but note that I'm not allowed to talk to any of you about it while it's playing, even in relatively off topic terms.

Woohoo! Go Golden! Show them what The Syndicate is made of.

Posted: **Sun May 15, 2016 3:36 pm**

Can someone link me to it? I have not had time to go to the chats, or watch any of the other games. I would like to watch this one, though. And are we going to have a hidden discussion thread here for it?

Posted: **Sun May 15, 2016 4:47 pm**

Godspeed, mate!

(Don't know how much I'll spectate, tho)

Posted: **Sun May 15, 2016 6:47 pm**

That's the game thread for people to follow along.

Yes, it is Harry Potter themed.

I know Thingyman really doesn't want any discussion of the games whatsoever for fear of others using that information, but... if we were to make the forum completely hidden to anyone but registered users that would solve that problem I would think. I'll ask him, just because I don't want to institute it if he still wants to strictly keep all discussion in the Skype chat.

Make it subscription only, I think. For instance, I should not be able to see it, and neither should zexy. And Thingyman should be able to see it so that he can monitor if he wants.

Yeah, that's a good point. I could give people access only if they request it via PM.

I'll see what Thingyman has to say.

I thought he said we could have a hidden forum? With request by access only?

I did request access to the MU forum, but one here would be fun, too

Posted: **Sun May 15, 2016 7:38 pm**

Did he say that? I can't recall. Well, I'll found out soon enough.

The Skype chat is fun too, but I haven't been in there for a while. I'll have to rejoin.
