Raging Bull
So I recently receive a mail for our community to join this community mafia championship, which featured over 135 sites. The thing is that we have to pick ONE representative and that person plays for us. The rest of us can spectate, but we can't help that person. Do you think we should give it a try? I think it'll be pretty cool to spectate a game played by tons of community around the internet. Below is the message I received.

Hi Raging Bull

I am addressing this invitation to you as I saw you posting in one of the mafia threads. If I've made a mistake in sending this to you, I apologize, and I hope you could maybe help point me in the right direction.

I'm hosting a very big mafia championship tournament, featuring 135 different sites, and would like to extend an invitation to your community, so I'm hoping this is the best way to go about this.

It's a super fun event that's been running for several years and it's built a lot of awesome relationships between communities and has even led to several romantic real life relationships if you'd believe it. I'd be stoked to see you guys represented, so if this invitation intrigues you, feel very free to share it with your fellow community members. Or if there is some place where I should post it, let me know.

If you have any questions, just reply back to this account. I'll make sure to check in regularly.

Link to the invitation with much more information: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E9x ... 5p4W4/edit

This seems interesting. I'll pass the word. Are there any past archives of games we can view to see how it played out? Thanks.

The setup changes each season, mind you. So last season it was 17 players and various power roles, for example, while this year it's 15 players and no power roles at all.

Just curious for the representative, no one is allowed to help him right? I'm just confirming because it's a community mafia, but also seems unfair if represented by one player, with the other part of the community unable to help.
That is correct, no one can help him. Also, if your community wishes to spectate and discuss, they should either do so in the Discord that we have or in a private chat or whatever (if they want to have their own community spectator chat, which many communities do) where the representative can't see and be influenced by their thoughts.

Do you know if there seems to be any interest thus far? :)
johnmedina999
Very interesting and cool.
MrThingyman
Thanks for posting this, Raging Bull :)

If you guys have any further questions, just let me know.
Nyquill
can our community even be considered active
MrThingyman
You've had games in the past year, so you're considered active.

And as long as you have one person who's willing to do this and thinks they can handle the activity, then you're good to go :)




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%21?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.
Raging Bull
I personally think it would be cool for someone to represent our community for the game. Just looking at the last few pages, it seems like there are people who (still?) want to play.
Nyquill
tbh I want to play noncommital games like irc mafia nowadays, I get too stressed out with an ongoing game.
Hika
what nyquill said

it's just kinda hard to keep a game going cuz i got two jobs and graduating school soon
Raging Bull
Oh well, no biggie. It is true that forum mafia games are quite time intensive. I wasn't planning on joining too due to other commitments (school etc) so it would be rude of me to force you guys. Thanks for the input. Hopefully in the future we can play more games in here or IRC again.
Hika
Yeah can we revive IRC? Would be boss.
Raging Bull
I only did IRC mafia with like 5-6 people once. Not sure if there were bigger games than that. I'm willing to join IRC if anyone makes.
Ace Timing
same
Ace Timing
well this new site design isn't exactly conducive to mafia
johnmedina999
Sadly.
Dawns
Sadly.
Raging Bull
the proportion of pippy's hand and her body/head is quite huge.

Also where is this new site design? I still have the "old" one I assume, since nothing changed for me.
johnmedina999
Here you go. This is the new website leading to this thread. You can explore from here, if you want.
abraker
anyone interested?
Sakura
do ppl even still play
abraker
we can start playing again
Hika
Our game got abandoned I’m so sad
Amianki
I'm kind of surprised this place still gets posts occasionally, tbh.
tn5421
I'm really not a fan of the new theme, to be honest.
Tupsu
shameless self-promotion on the top post in the subforum, what could go wrong.

I'm hosting a mafia game ft. mostly osu!/ex-osu! people. it'll be open setup because I got a specific request to make a noob-friendly game. the intent is to start off on approximately the 25th of June, but this is a hesitant early guess and might change depending on interest and people's availability. theme is cyberpunk, just to make it a bit more fun.

game is hosted off-site because I can't handle the new layout and because of certain GMing/moderation concerns: https://forums.tuuba.moe/viewtopic.php?pid=43142 everyone is welcome, just register for an account if you don't have one yet. please do try to be active though, inactivity kills the game.

e: game's started, but we do tend to host mafias at least twice a year (more can always be negotiated), which might be better than the current state of affairs on this subforum. for now you can sit back and enjoy the action, though.
abraker
The necro gods have blessed me. Come forth and raise from the grave, o' dying subforum.

Look in this subforum which is full of these games. Here is a previous one if you can't decide which one to click on: https://old.ppy.sh/forum/t/552912

day time chat is happening in forum posts
PM's are involved as well as far as moderation and role actions are concerned
mafia night time chat and dead chat is done over at https://www.quicktopic.com (example dead chat from previous game)
Westonini
Alright, I guess I'll give it a shot then.

I can mod if needed, but I dont want to have to replace like half the playerlist midway through the game, I hope people can stick around.
abraker
Fingers crossed

I think we can start this soon
