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?

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 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 :)

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.

The game is taking place on Mafia Universe. You can find the specific subforum dedicated to the championship here: http://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/for ... nship-2016

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! :)

My bio for the champs game.
Golden wrote:NATIONALITY: New Zealand

STARTED PLAYING MAFIA (YEAR): 2010

HAVE PLAYED MAFIA ON THE FOLLOWING SITES: I'm representing the Syndicate, which is my home mafia site. I've also played at Spoiler TV and Revolution Mafia, both now defunct but they were two feeder sites for the Syndicate, and I also play a bit at RateYourMusic, a site that we have developed a close mafia relationship with thanks to last years championships.

BIO: By day, I ply my trade as a commercial lawyer. By night, I'm hoping I'm at home so I can break out my favourite TV shows or a great boardgame. On weekends, you might find me writing and preaching a sermon at my local church. And at all times, my mind is mostly on the imminent arrival of my first child.

Somewhere amongst all of that, I have to find time to get my mafia fix. Some call me a hurricane of self-assurance. Others call me a coward. Others still might consider me a paid up member of the suicidal moron club. Whatever I am, one thing is certain. If you are playing mafia with me, you'll know it.

Hello, members of The Syndicate!

The Mafia Championship on MafiaUniverse is underway, and Game 4 starts very soon! This is important because Game 4 is the game in which our representative, Golden, will be playing and representing our site.

Here is the link to Game 4 on MafiaUniverse. The game starts at 8:00AM Eastern time tomorrow, Monday, May 16th. Day/Night cycles are 36/12 during the week and 60/12 on weekends.

Be sure to cheer him on in the Mafia Championship Season 3 discussion thread, but otherwise please do NOT talk about the game in any way there other than cheering him on. We don't want to break the integrity of the game.

Rather, if you wish to talk about the game with your fellow Syndicateers, respond to this PM requesting access to the hidden Game 4 Spectator Chat, and I'll make sure you're added ASAP.

Also, if you wish to talk about the game with members from all communities, log onto MafiaUniverse and PM Thingyman if you want to be added to the official Mafia Championship Skype chat, where members from various mafia sites will be spectating and discussing the game and other off-topic matters. It should be a good time as well.

Best of luck, Golden, show the rest of the mafia world what The Syndicate is made of! The rest of you, be sure to join me in cheering him on!
