  1. Hi guys Elbereth’s Championship game has been scheduled GAME 11 (JUNE 15, 36/12, 4 PM EDT EOD) Colin (Super Mafia All-Stars) CreatorX (TORN) DarkRula (GRcade) Elbereth Gilthoniel (17th Shard) GoalkeeperBoss (Chief Delphi) Grumproro (The Avocado) Hectic (Warwick Mafia Society) hey_monkey (ResetEra) HumanDawn (Bulbagarden) inky (Comic Fury) Nilsson (PokerNet) Pilica (Wolfia Discord) Psycho666Soldier (The Center) twomillionbucks (BoardGameGeek) Wisdom (Maffia Sverige) Do you wish to spectate and/or talk with players from other communities? We have a big server on Discord (1,000+ members) for those that want to spectate and talk about these games. The representatives will be added to this channel too after they die. Or if you just want to chat with people from other communities, we have a general chat too that is unrelated to the Mafia Championship. 1) CLICK HERE TO JOIN: https://discord.gg/CwDKmjQ 2) Upon joining the server, please inform us of who you are and which community you are from. We will then give you the necessary permissions to see the spectator channel. This is necessary to avoid the wrong people (the representatives and their backups) joining the channel. You don't need to have Discord installed in order to join the channel, as there is a web version. Do you want to have your own private community spectator chat? This is definitely both allowed and encouraged. However, I ask that you please do everything possible to make this chat private and inaccessible to your representative, backup and your representative's opponents. It's important that your thoughts and comments don't influence the game. In other words, please don't post about the game in public threads -- this is very important. Mafia Championship Podcast For the first time ever, there will be a Mafia Championship podcast. The first episode goes live on Twitch at Sunday 4 PM Eastern - i.e. tomorrow. It will feature 4 former winners. There will also be podcasts on the following Sundays. It will go live here, if you are interested: https://www.twitch.tv/mrthingyman/ Where do I get more info? Refer to this thread: https://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/threads/25499-Season-7-General-Information This thread will tell you all the details about this season. It also includes a list of the 165 participating communities and their representatives. __________ If you need to get in contact with me, my Discord is Thingyman#6075

  3. Hey guys. I'm going on vacation next week, so won't be able to check in here. If you guys happen to decide on a representative in that time, they can reach me on Mafia Universe or Discord (Thingyman#6075). I'll then make sure they get the information they need to get prepared
  4. Hi guys I'm going on a short vacation tomorrow. Will be back Sunday, April 29. As for the deadline for choosing a representative (or someone volunteering themselves), I am extending this by a couple of days to May 3. When/if your representative is decided, that person should please either PM me on Mafia Universe or reach me on Discord: Thingyman#6075. During evenings I will quickly check messages and get them the information they need to prepare for the game.
  5. Quick Mafia Championship Update For those who didn't follow the Mafia Championship to the end, Dels from GameFAQs ended up winning the fourth season. He will be receiving a winner's certificate signed by Dmitry Davidoff, the creator of Mafia. Hydra Event 2017 - Interested? Last year 220 players from dozens of different communities participated in the first ever cross-community Hydra Event. It was a big success and people have been wanting another one, so... It's finally here! If you don't know what "hydra" means, it's when two people share the same account (two heads). So the concept is that each participating community can send multiple hydras if they want, each consisting of two players, which tends to make the game more fun in addition to making it easier to be active since two players are playing on the same account. Sign-ups will be open for next couple of weeks. Those signing up will receive a link to a Doodle + a Google Survey so that they can be slotted into a game that suits their availability and preferences wrt game size and type. If you'd like to play, just find a partner and lemme know either here or in the thread below. More info here: http://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/threads/12461-Hydra-Event-2017
  6. In case you didn't already know, your representative advanced to the wildcard game, and that game has now started! We're halfway through Day 1: http://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/threads/10264-Season-4-Wildcard-Game-1-For-the-Birds-The-Mafia-Championship If you want to join the spectator chat, there's a link to the Discord in the OP of the game thread. We're approx. 700 people on the server, and it's lots of fun

Remember to please keep discussion of the game to private channels where the players wouldn't be able to see your comments on the game. Also, if you want to spectate the game along with people from other communities, you can join the Discord server here (600+ people): https://discord.gg/zdeEhcg When you enter the server please tag and let the @staff know which community you are from and who you are cheering on and they'll give you access to the spectator channel

  9. UPDATE ON MAFIA CHAMPIONSHIP Originally, the plan was for this season to feature 135 communities. We will now have 165 participating communities, which means that this season alone we will have more different communities represented than all other seasons combined. Approximately 60 communities are participating for the very first time. Of the returning communities, about a dozen of them are resending a previous representative, while the rest are all sending fresh faces. As a result of how big this season has gotten, we'll have more games to look forward to than ever before. We will have 11 qualifying games, 2 wildcard games and 1 finale game = 14 games in total. All kinds of communities are partipating. Besides the sites dedicated specifically to mafia, we have forums dedicated to popular entertainment, sports, poker, board games, online games, video games, role playing, LEGO, personality type testing, stick figure animations, science, atheism, music, mathematics, comics, students, etc. Some of these communities started playing mafia more than a decade ago; Others just started this year. Despite this being a forum event, we will also have communities that play the game via various chat clients (Discord, Telegram, IRC, custom, etc.) and via webcam (with games often streamed on Twitch.tv). And not least, there are communities centered around mafia game variants that you can buy on Steam (Town of Salem and Throne of Lies). This season will also have the biggest international scope yet. For the very first time we will have representatives from Romania, Hungary, Chile, Portugal, Ukraine and Czechia as well as our first person representing a Japanese community. We even have our first Native American. In addition to this, we of course welcome back countries such as USA, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Italy, Indonesia, South Africa and Ireland, meaning that we'll have more than 20 different countries represented in total. _________________________ Final reminder: If your community hasn't picked a representative yet, your deadline is by the end of tomorrow (April 23). Next update: I am hoping very much I will have all the info I need from all of the representatives by Wednesday at the latest next week. Assuming I do, I will schedule all the qualifying games on this day and get back to you with your representative's start date.
  10. Update on The Mafia Championship Exciting news: We are expanding to 150 participating communities, which is more than last season. In fact, we may even go for 165 communities depending on how some invitations go. On that note, if you know of a community that might be interested in participating and isn't on the list in the linked post, let me know and I'll be happy to give them an invitation: http://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/threads/7692-Season-4-The-Time-Is-Now!?p=1070949&viewfull=1#post1070949 Since none of the representatives chosen at this point have indicated that they can only play if their game starts April 24, I have made the decision that the qualifying phase won't begin until May 1st in order to allow me more time to get everything properly organized and to get all representatives properly prepared. This will have no impact on the overall schedule for this season; the qualifying phase will still be wrapped up by early July, after which we dive into the wildcard games followed by the finale game. Finally, to communities that haven't elected a representative yet: Remember that your deadline for electing a representative is April 23.
  11. Hi little wilson Trust me, I'm taking everything you're saying very seriously. This event is my baby and I find ways every year to improve it. It will never be perfect. There are always a few people each year that unfortunately do end up not having a great experience, but fortunately most people do. As an example, 16 of the 17 players that played in the wildcard game last year all were so excited to play with each other again that in just a bit over a day without any warning and out of the blue all confirmed their participation in a rerun of that game: http://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/threads/7732 There are communities where mafia was close to dying out, but because of the series, they sprung to life again. Many sites have done cross-community games with each other. Dozens of them. I.e. after the season, a community went "hey, that other community seems cool, let's do a game with them". Several romantic relationships happened. A dude moved to Norway and married the girl. Sites share ressources with each other. We will soon be publishing a Database where I will also invite you guys to have a page on it (if you'd like, ofc); I.e. a tool you can use to enter games and then you can see advanced statistics for the games you've run here. There are many great stories of how true bonds were created. But it's not gonna happen for every person and not every person wants that either, which is fine - some just want to play a game, test their abilities, and then move on. That's completely fine Regarding what you're saying, I will personally do my best to make it very clear before each game that this is mostly about forming bonds and getting a chance to play with people with different play styles. It'll be even more relevant this season, as it's a pure game with no special roles, so a lot of people will be out of their depth, and everyone needs to respect and understand that. And yeah, like I said before, I've banned several communities from participating again. PI's community isn't participating this year.
  12. Okay, I looked at the game you're talking about last year. That was one bad seed. The rest of the players in that game are actually all quite nice people. I hope that hasn't soured your opinion on the series too much
