"I'm made up of the memories of my parents and my grandparents, all my ancestors. They're in the way I look, in the colour of my hair. And I'm made up of everyone I've ever met who's changed the way I think"
Since I failed to convince Sand to post this here: It's Mafia Championship Time!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Gi9t5baFa-DTjtB_d0ntrVzsrZU4SVm3OiSg4iWT21E/edit

quote:

I’m very excited to invite your community to participate in Season 11 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 players. Each participating community democratically elects one person to represent them and be their “Champion”.

The tournament first started back in 2013. Since then, 380+ 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 :)


quote:

If your community agrees to participate, the deadline for selecting your representative is April 20th, but the sooner the better.

Do you like Mafia? Do you really, really, like Mafia? As in, do you want to read 100+ posts per player per game day like Mafia? The Champs are here, and one more year, we've been invited and can elect to send a Something Awful representative (and usually one reserve player too) to play in a qualifier game, a semifinal game, and if you do really well, the Finals. Plus, usually at least one training game is held prior to the actual tournament games.

The game schledule itself is here:

quote:

There will be 8 Qualifier Games, and your representative plays in just one of these. They will have start dates ranging from the end of April to mid-June. 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).


Last year representative was Grandicap, and the previous year we were represented by Yami Fenrir; both of them made it to semifinals. Previous years candidates have included Sandwolf and Merk, and probably a lot of other people I don't know about (sorry!). I'm sure they'll answer any questions you may have better than me, but in any case, fire away!

Mostly what you need to know is that the games can get... intense; most (though not all) people in Champs do post a lot, so following threads can be a difficult task. On the bright side, the SA Mafia community has gained some members invited straight from the champs, and most everyone agrees that they are a good opportunity to meet other players and styles. Just, you know, you will need to be generally available to play in the indicated schledule (though dates are flexible). If for some reason you will not, be sure to clear it with the administration and the reserve player, so we don't lose the spot.

We have until April 20th to give an answer. Also, the player themselves needs to agree to go - no nominating or sending people without asking them first, that's rude. So if anyone is interested in representing Something Awful Mafia, either post here or contact Sandwolf (who is the contact with Mafia Universe). Ideally we'll want to get two people, a main player and a reserve player. If there are more volunteers than spots, I guess we can run a poll or something?

I mentioned this in the super secret mafia Discord channel that not everyone reads after a couple people (perhaps jokingly) said my name.

I am both available and willing to participate as an SA Champs representative. I expect to flame out early or go the distance. If figuratively anyone else wants to do it, I am in full support of them going.

Hal can't go, it's an amateur Mafia event and you're considered a professional when you hit your 500th game, so he's disqualified.

Any interest from Clo, Rhymes, Zoya, ANarc? I think Shell and PMuzz have already expressed active disinterest.

I'm practically retired from SA Mafia for stress-related reasons, I don't really have the energy to tackle a high postcount Champs game. Plus, EU perks, I followed along Yami's and actually woke up to 20 pages once, lol.

They vote, which means it's pretty much a popularity contest.

iirc the guy that was so hilariously off base and defended a flipped scum so hard that he basically suicided in thread day 3 got more votes than I did, and the jury ended up adding me, one of two scum that went nearly undetected till Lylo, to the people that advanced.

It’s always hosted by the same forum + group of people, I believe they have several folks actually moderating the games, they also have some kinda neat functions on their website like a built-in votefinder bot and easily nesting quotes.
