I will pray to the Village gods for you that they will have mercy U_U

Rather than causing something demonic to awaken in you again.

Each player votes for their ranked top 7 players from the game (total of 15 players), where the 7th ranked player receives two points, 6th gets three points, 5th gets four, and so on - 1st gets 8 points. The cumulative score for the top 8 players is then revealed, individual votes aren’t. 8th, 7th, and 6th place are pinch hitters while 5-1 advance. 

[Mat he/him]

Town won in a perfect D2 sweep in the finale (first and only town sweep of the season) so that’s pretty cool :p. I did get mafia-killed N1 so one villager technically did die but it’s still a sweep. LFG. 

With 135+ players competing,,,top 3 is definitely more than I expected to achieve

Looking back on it, this entire thing took 5-6 months. It’s insane and I’m so exhausted lol

[Mat he/him]

Congrats Stick!!! It goes without saying that you did our community proud <3 had a lot of fun following the season and rooting for you, top 3 and jury for next year is hype!

[DeTess she/her]

Congratulations, stick! One round was already rough when I was in, so I can imagine how rough it can be to make it all the way to the finals!

[Kasimir he/him]

Congrats Stick! Your demonic awakening has served you well 

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

Stick ftw you did incredible

Wow. I guess 17th shard is where one of the best mafia players comes from.

Cool!

And congrats. You deserve it.

[Illwei]

There was a knock on the door, though no one had been expected here in a long time. She walked to the door and opened it a crack, just as much as the chain would allow.

"Who is it?"

"Just a messenger"

The stranger pulled out a scroll from the bag at their hip, pushing it inside as the door began to close.

"Wait, if you could just get this to-"

"Yeah, Yeah."

She pulled the scroll out and shut the door before they could say anything else.

Double checking the contents, Illwei packed the scroll and a few more things up. Wondering why after all these years they hadn't found someone else to do their dirty work for them, she headed out. Returning to her home town.

INVITATION TO THE MAFIA CHAMPIONSHIP (SEASON 11)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ahoy there!

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

The deadline for selecting your representative is April 20th, but the sooner the better.

IMPORTANT NOTES
You may decide yourselves how you want to elect your representative, but we highly recommend some sort of democratic process (public nominations followed by a poll usually works out well).
In addition to electing a representative, you should also name an alternate (a back-up) who will be asked to step in if the first choice needs to back out.
Your representative should be prepared for having to read upwards of 600-700 posts per 24 hours during the early stages of the game. Additionally, there’s a requirement that each player must make at least 10 posts per Game Day. Only active players should apply/participate. I repeat: Your chosen player needs to be able to promise a good amount of activity on a daily basis!

 

FORMAT

The semifinal/finale setups may be designed for more/fewer players than 15, in which case the amount of jury advances would be adjusted to match.

The qualifier games will be played using the Matrix Mayhem 5x5 setup (see below for more details), and the semifinal/finale games will be played using a different setup(s). The semifinal/finale setup(s) will be finalized around the end of June

 

Spoiler

This year’s qualifier setup: Matrix Mayhem 5x5

	A	B	C	D	E
1	Town 3-shot Tracker	Mafia 2-shot Tracker	Town Motion Detector	Town Odd Night Doctor	Mafia Roleblocker
2	Mafia 2-shot Watcher	Town 3-shot Tracker	Town Inventor (1x Track, 1x Roleblock)	Mafia Roleblocker	Town Odd Night Doctor
3	Town JOAT (1x Track, 1x Doctor, 1x Roleblock)	Mafia Roleblocker	Town Even Night Jailkeeper	Town Motion Detector	Mafia Odd Night Role Cop
4	Mafia Roleblocker	Town Inventor (1x Track, 1x Roleblock)	Mafia Goon	Town 3-shot Roleblocker	Town Even Night Jailkeeper
5	Town Odd Night Doctor	Town 3-shot Roleblocker	Mafia Roleblocker	Mafia Goon	Town JOAT (1x Track, 1x Doctor, 1x Roleblock)

• The setup is determined by randomly selecting one row or column from the above matrix, and then adding 9 Vanilla Townies and 1 Mafia Goon. This will always result in 12 Town members (3 of which are Power Roles) and 3 Mafia members (1 or 2 of which are Power Roles).
• For example, if Column A was randomly selected, the setup would be a Town 3-shot Tracker, Town JOAT, Town Odd Night Doctor, 9 Vanilla Townies, Mafia 2-shot Watcher, Mafia Roleblocker, and Mafia Goon.
• Mafia flips will only reveal the alignment of the Mafia player, whereas Town flips will reveal the full role of the Town player.
• The following roles are non-consecutive (cannot target the same player 2 nights in a row): Town 3-shot Roleblocker and Town Inventor (1x Track, 1x Roleblock).
• Each of the Town JOAT's abilities may only be used once throughout the game.
• Some alterations may be made to this setup before qualifiers start, but they will be minor if any

MECHANICS

• Day start.
• Majority elimination will not be enabled during day 1 and is not required at any point for the elimination. Starting on Day 2 and until MYLO/LYLO, majority will be enabled at 12 hours after SoD (in 36/12s and 48/24s) OR at 24 hours after SoD (in 72/24s). MYLO/LYLOs are exceptions, during which majority will be enabled immediately.
• Tied votes will result in a player being eliminated at random from among the tied players.
• No outside communication. I.e. you may not contact the other players outside of the thread (unless you are Mafia and wish to speak with your teammates).
• Phase Lengths and Deadlines will be up to the players themselves (I’ll organize your representative into a game with deadlines that suit their preferences).
• Thread is locked during Night Phases.
• Votes are automatically locked in at LYLO
• Mafia share a factional Night Kill, which is a single standard shot for their faction. The mafia factional kill is mandatory.
• Mafia may communicate at any time.
• Each individual player may make a maximum of 125 posts per day phase (this restriction is lifted 1 hour before day end).
• The game will have a host to oversee everything and make sure everyone’s following the code of conduct, but otherwise the game is completely automated (automatic votecounts, thread locks and reveals alignments automatically, the bot receives and processes actions, etc.).

TIMELINE

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).

If you want to get in contact with us ASAP, you can reach us on Discord at lissa2 (Lissa#8083) or Arapocalypse (Arapocalypse#0834).

Kind regards,
Lissa

Fewer communities/qualifier games this time around and the biggest change is there’s no ranked players and/or one champion at the end of the finale, just a winning team/losing team 

 

I nominate @DrakeMarshall 

[Experience he/him]

I nominate @|TJ| and @Kasimir

Thanks but no thanks. I'd add @StrikerEZ to the list, and probably @Mat and @Experience. Aware Mat is busy but he can decide, as he's been benched for a while.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

I'll nominate @The Bald Brandon as well as @Stick. if she's interested in playing again.

[Stick. she/her]

Thanks!! But I’m on the jury this season so I’m ineligible to play 

 

@Archer would also do good I think

Appreciate it, but I definitely can’t do it this year as I’m going to Curitiba, Brazil near the end of July for my mission  

Seconding all the other nominations so far though!
