For those who have missed the announcement by Thingyman in the chit-chat thread: soon the Mafia Championships, a big cross-platform event where several forum communities are pitched against each other in, as you'd guess, games of Mafia and the PokéCommunity forums have been invited! This event will be held on the Mafia Universe website late April, May and June.

For now all there is to do is find the one person who is going to represent our community on the event. Do you think you can be a good representative who can bring up the required activity (see details below)? If so, express your interested right here in the thread! Additionally, feel free to nominate other people as well!
In a few days we'll be setting up a poll where everybody can vote for their favorite candidates, from which the mod team can make their final decision.


Here are some more details about the event itself:
Spoiler:
The Mafia Championship is an annual online tournament series that pits representatives from various forum Mafia communities against one another as they compete to determine the Internet’s greatest forum Mafia player. The representatives are officially and democratically chosen to be “Champions” by their respective communities.

Season 1 (2013-2014) featured 100+ players from 45+ different communities, and the Season 2 (2015) boasted an even more impressive count of 70 different communities represented. The creator of Mafia himself (Dmitry Davidoff) has even supported and endorsed the series by previously offering to privately chat with the ultimate winner.

This year we’re expanding once again; 136 communities are participating, making this not only the biggest Mafia event ever, but also the largest cross-forum event in the history of the Internet.

Are you interested?

I am hoping very much that this all sounds exciting! If interested, I would need you all to name one representative to play on your community's behalf. How you decide this representative is completely up to you. To guarantee your community a spot in Season 3 of the Mafia Championship, I will need to know of your community's interest within the next week. Following this, you will have an additional week or so to actually name the representative. Additionally, it would be a very good idea to also name an alternate.

When deciding your nomination, please consider the following: You should of course be aiming to send one of your best players. But more importantly this individual needs to be able to participate adequately in terms of activity. Be prepared for maybe upwards of 500 posts per 24 hours during the early stages of the game. The representative needs to not only be able to read all this, but should also at least be able to manage 10+ posts per day phase.

Season 3 Specifics

• 136 different communities are invited to participate.
• 8 Qualifying Games will be played with 17 players each.
• 2 players advance to the Finale Game from each game based on post-game votes.
• 1 Wildcard Game will be played (Wildcards are decided by a jury consisting of former finalists), determining the 17th and final spot in the Finale. Runner-ups in this game will be first in line to replace any finalists who may have to drop out.

Season 3 Timeline & Important Dates

There will be 8 Qualifying Games, and these will take place in late April, May and June. Each game will probably last around 2-3 weeks. Your representative would sign up to play in just one of these games.

And as a matter of fact, players from all other communities have already been slotted and scheduled for these games. I had a community drop out last second, which is why I am coming to you guys. I didn't know about you, but I was recommended to check you out - I did, and your community seems awesome

Anyway, inside this spoiler below you can find the games. Depending on when your representative is chosen, he/she can decide which game they wish to play in -- even though the games are already scheduled, there is a big chance I am able to swap around spots, making it so that your representative plays at a time that suits them well.

Season 3 Game Design & Setup

For each season, we’ve changed it up. This time, we’re doing something new again!

The setup is called Matrix12 and is inspired by mafiascum’s popular Matrix6 setup, if any of you are familiar with that. In short, the concept is that there are 12 different possible setups and the host randomizes which one is used. The players know what setups are available, but not which one will be used!

Regarding lynch mechanics: There will be a deadline each day phase, and the person with the most votes at the end of the day is lynched, unless a majority has already been reached before then, in which case the day ends prematurely.

Days will last 36 hours and nights 12 hours, meaning 48 hours (2 days) per game day. With one exception: The weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) will be one game day (so day will be 60 hours and night 12 hours on weekends).

I remember Gimmepie saying his internet will suck for some time. If he can fix it in time, I'll be voting for him.
I figured it's time I removed ONEderground's collab signature.

But I didn't wanna remove it completely cuz nostalgia.

This is the result.

Alex is a good mafia player he is active. He can analysis situation fast as a inno and it's hard to read him as a mafia player. Same goes for klippy.
I want to nominate Gimmepie if his internet problem is solved.

Yay! Glad we're in.

I nominate Golgari, Naku, and Bac, as I stated before. I'll add Kiyo to that list.

i will say, game 5 looks dangerous...Stork and Beck in the same game? That's trouble

Thinking of who would best represent PC and be an active body, I'd like to nominate Bardothren and alexkaz. Both are pretty good at lying low and playing innocent, and have used their smarts to save them in games without the need to beat on people or be aggressive.

I support Naku, Klippy, Charlie Brown or Golgari doing this, if they want to.

I seriously woudn't. I know when I was so engaged in mafia in dezember or so I spend like 6h per day on it, and this sounds even more time consuming.

I hope the one we nominate will have fun playing this *^_^*

I won't be appearing in the poll either. I'm not reliable enough with shaky internet and shakier health and I'd rather see it go to someone else anyway.
