Mafia Capital (WWC XIII): Important Info Here -- READ OPENING POSTS!

Also apparently MU is hosting the annual competitions - we doing anything for that?

...sincerely hope that doesn't count as violating the "Do Not Reference Games" clause, because it's big and bold and scary. If I did this wrong I will delete.

It's ongoing games, and these ones have yet to start so we can talk about them. And I believe we should be getting an invitation sometime soon, at which stage we'll need to decide who we're sending.

Also, AV, can you stick me on the end of the narration list? Let's go with "Isle of Chaos III: Secrets of the Silver Empire", though there's a high probability that changes between now and however many years until it actually happens.

I nominate Snowblaze

[AvatarVecna]

Could you put me up for The Tarot Club III?
(I think around every seven/eight games is alright.)

Put me down for yet another "?" while you're at it.

Mutants II: Songs of the Fallen is now recruiting. (Forgive any mistakes in the title or whatever, it's 2:30am.)

Much appreciated!

I'm tentatively interested pending a better idea of the timescale, but if people want to send someone else that's also fine. Consider me nominating whoever volunteers!

[Batcathat]

Yeah, Snow sounds like a good pick.

[JeenLeen]

Question on if a game would be fun or not: all the players are assigned roles, with powers known, as Town. Some are neutrals/wolves. Neutrals have different powers, but they might be similar/able to fake it. Wolves have the listed power, but also an additional power.

Contemplating an In Nomine game where the "village" is a cabal of unaligned sorcerers (meaning independents, not working with Heaven or Hell). Wolves are diabolist sorcerers who picked up extra powers. Neutrals are other entities getting involved. But also just wondering the idea of where the game starts with a ton of information. I reckon it's a bad idea and wouldn't be fun, but figured I'd ask.

I agree with this nomination!

So... Everybody knows who is playing as which role (except for the roles of the neutrals)?
This sounds like it would lead to a nearly 100% mechanical game. While I personally like the mech puzzle part, I still don't think it would be a good idea.

It sounds very similar to what Gac did with his Percy Jackson games. Is that what you were going for?

INVITATION TO THE MAFIA CHAMPIONSHIP (SEASON 10)

Ahoy there! :)

I’m very excited to invite your community to participate in Season 10 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 player. Each participating community democratically elects one person to represent them and be their “Champion”.

The tournament first started back in 2013. Since then, 370+ 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 Lissa or Arapocalypse as soon as you can to ensure yourselves a spot. Currently, the plan is to accommodate 135 communities this season. If there is further interest, additional communities may sign up as substitutes; generally there are some replacements needed both before and during games.

If your community agrees to participate, the deadline for selecting your representative is April 22nd, 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 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!

2. SEASON 10 FORMAT

The tournament structure

• 135 communities will participate, each sending one representative.
• QUALIFIERS: 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 place will advance to the Semifinal Games.
• SEMIFINALS: A Jury consisting of finalists from Season 8 will select 27 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 players vote to determine who shall receive the title of Season 10 Champion and a winner’s certificate signed by Dmitry Davidoff, the creator of mafia.

The qualifier games will be played with the Adapt 6 setup (see the Season 10 Qualifiers Setup tab for more details), and the semifinal/finale games will be played using a different setup. The semifinal/finale setup will be a low-powered 15-player setup, with full details to be disclosed when the jury's semifinal advances are revealed.

This year’s qualifier setup: Adapt 6
[BOX=SETUP DETERMINATION]Each of the 6 columns from the below table represents a different constituent setup, one of which will be chosen at random and used for the game:

Analyse	Deter	All-round	Protect	Track	6lock
Town Odd Night Tracker Town Even Night Vanilla Cop Town 2-shot Doctor 9x Vanilla Town Mafia 2-shot Watcher Mafia Roleblocker Mafia Goon	Town Jack of All Trades Town 2-shot Roleblocker Town Odd Night Doctor 9x Vanilla Town Mafia Roleblocker Mafia Jack of All Trades Mafia Goon	Town Jack of All Trades Town Even Night Vanilla Cop 10x Vanilla Town Mafia Jack of All Trades 2x Mafia Goon	Town Odd Night Doctor Town Even Night Jailkeeper 10x Vanilla Town Mafia 1-shot Jailkeeper 2x Mafia Goon	Town Odd Night Tracker Town 2-shot Doctor 10x Vanilla Town Mafia 1-shot Tracker 2x Mafia Goon	Town 2-shot Roleblocker Town Even Night Jailkeeper 10x Vanilla Town Mafia 1-shot Roleblocker 2x Mafia Goon

Town Jack of All Trades has 1x Doctor, 1x Motion Detect and 1x Roleblock.

Mafia Jack of All Trades has 1x Role Cop and 1x Roleblock.

Town 2-shot Doctor, Town 2-shot Roleblocker and Mafia Roleblocker are non-consecutive (cannot target the same player two nights in a row). Doctor actions can't self-target.

Mafia flips only show the alignment of the Mafia player, whereas Town flips show the full role of the Town player.[/BOX]

Relevant mechanics info
- 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 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). LYLOs are an exception to the majority delay, 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 faction 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.).

3. SEASON 10 TIMELINE

There will be 9 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, or if you’re signing up to MU and need your account approved, you can reach us on Discord at Lissa#8083 or Arapocalypse#0834.

Kind regards,
The Mafia Universe Staff

Half the people there will have an empty bio or one that's just memes, you'll be fine.

Did you mention being the patron of two clerics - in a game where they nominally were your enemies?

@AV
You can add me to the schedule again. No name yet. Thanks.
