Stick.

true... above player is TWTBAW

nyooooooooo Wine in front of me = WIFOM, easier to explain if ur familiar with that scene from the princess bride but it’s when elims try to play mind games with the village where they know what we expect them to do and thus do the opposite (IKYK is another acronym with the same meaning) to give your breath away you simply to go your GM PM and tell ash that you want to do this (but you have to send the PM before rollover time!)

And that is bad…why? I said they could WIFOM us and give their breath away anyway, which is perfect. If you’ll reread my argument, nowhere did I say we should use it as a means to find villagers, only as a means to find elims. So no, no one is getting cleared for giving their breath away! You get outed if there’s no breath given, and we continue with the game as normal if there is breath given STINK this is for hating spinach EDIT: Just to make sure we are all on the same page - @KelsierApologist and @Hoid Slayer are giving their breath away this cycle yes? So @TheRavenHasLanded you can holster this cycle (only after hoid slayer confirms ideally)

theWanderingWizard

TUF is probably a villager for that take tbh I think it’s too bold for an elim to suggest I think KelsierApologist and Raven are good for two people since they’ve already offered (although I wouldn’t hate Hoid Slayer being one of the two tbh)

still not following the game doesnt immediately end the first time the starkeeper receives zero breaths? so we actually can use the mechanic strategically, at least for the first cycle, to potentially out an elim i think it's actually good if we select two POE players today and end up with no breaths given this cycle

12 cycles at maximum, and also extremely unlikely lol The Unknown Flame maybe i just dont understand the math that led u to suggest we should give away as many breaths per cycle as we can but it sounds unvillagery to me rip EDIT: Correction, the max number of cycles we can have is not even 12 it's actually def lower when u take the NK and exe into account lol

what we could do is select two people only to give their breaths away today if this group is 1 elim and 1 villager, the villa will get night killed and we will have an announcement declaring no breaths were offered (which would out the player that didn’t die) alternatively the elim in the pair will be forced to give their breath away which is nice for the village lol because remember, the first time the starkeeper gets no breaths it’s announced and we still get to have an exe - only after the 2nd time does it straight up give the elims victory if neither player gets night killed, it could mean anything really (the elim choosing to keep the villa alive for WIFOM or both players being elims or both being villagers kept alive for WIFOM) in all scenarios, we either get 1 free outed elim (in case there’s an announcement about no breaths) or we get to keep the starkeeper alive

I’ll offer u a branch Use it to whack ur opps

If Sart/Steel don't respond to their noms then yeah I guess LOL

Good idea

Knock, knock. It’s that time of the year again! I’ve received a message - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - INVITATION TO THE MAFIA CHAMPIONSHIP (SEASON 12) Ahoy there! I’m very excited to invite your community to participate in Season 12 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 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, 400+ 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 1. DO YOU ACCEPT THE INVITATION? If your community wishes to participate, please confirm your participation to Arapocalypse or Master Radishes as soon as you can to secure yourselves a spot. Currently, the plan is to accommodate 120-135 communities this season. If your community agrees to participate, the deadline for selecting your representative is April 19th, but the sooner the better. The games will take place on Mafia Universe. If it’s okay, I can link directly to the general discussion thread regarding this topic on Mafia Universe. 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 500-700 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 handle a good amount of activity on a daily basis! 2. SEASON 12 FORMAT The tournament structure 120-135 communities will participate, each sending one representative. QUALIFIERS: 8-9 Qualifier Games will be played, consisting of 15 players each. I.e. every representative plays in one Qualifier Game. The players themselves vote post-game to determine who is deserving of advancement. 1st and 2nd places will advance to the Semifinal Games. BONUS ROUND: Any community backups who were not called on during the Qualifier round will be invited to play in a special Game of Backups, a chance for them to participate in champs hype! SEMIFINALS: A Jury consisting of finalists from Season 11 will select 27-29* additional players to advance to the three Semifinal Games. From each game, five players will advance to the Finale Game based on a post-game player vote, just like in the qualifying phase. THE FINALE: The Finale Game is played. Once it has completed, the winning team will receive the title of Season 12 Champions and a winner’s certificate signed by Dmitry Davidoff, the creator of mafia. Players will also vote for additional awards including Best Team Player, Most Enjoyable Player, and Most Appreciated Playstyle (subject to change before the finale). *The semifinal/finale setups may be designed for more players than 15. The qualifier games will be played using the Wolf Cube setup (see below), and semifinal/finale games will be played using a different setup. The semifinal/finale setup will be tested from April-June and then finalized; more details to come soon (before the start of the season). This year’s qualifier setup: Wolf Cube x9 Vanilla Town x1 Town Tracker x1 Town Doctor | Even Cycle | Hidden Modifier x1 Town Doctor | Odd Cycle | Hidden Modifier x1 Mafia Jack of All Trades (x2 Roleblocker, x1 Ninja) x1 Mafia Jack of All Trades (x1 Tracker, 1x Roleblocker, x1 Strongman) x1 Mafia Jack of All Trades (x1 Role Cop, x1 Roleblocker, x1 Vigilante) | Cycle 2+ Important Notes Mafia flips only show the alignment of the Mafia player, whereas Town flips usually show the full role of the Town player. The only exceptions are Town Doctors, who will only flip as Town Doctor and their modifier (Odd Cycle/Even Cycle) will not flip. Mafia JOAT abilities do not cycle after they are used (they only get the stated ability uses). Additional note: this setup is subject to minor changes before the season starts! Relevant mechanics info 3. SEASON 12 TIMELINE There will be 8-9 Qualifier Games, and your representative plays in just one of these. Their start dates are each Monday from April 21st-June 16th. 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. 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). The Game of Backups will be played between the Qualifiers and Semifinal Games. If you want to get in contact with us ASAP, you can reach us on Discord at lissa2, arapocalypse, or masterradishes. Kind regards, Season 12 Championship Organizers - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hope I didn’t mess the formatting up. As usual, feel free to begin nominating the players you’d like to see represent the 17th Shard in this thread!

Thanks for running this and introducing me to ONW @CadCom!!

I couldn’t have done that cuz coffee and aet both had information that, when combined, would out me as Kelsier so my only real option was to claim the Kelsier rand before aeternum could
