Thingyman INVITATION TO THE MAFIA CHAMPIONSHIP
(SEASON 4)
Hello everyone! :)
I would very much like to invite your community to take part in
Season 4 of the Mafia Championship.
The Mafia Championship is an annual online tournament series that
pits representatives from various
forum 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 become their “Champion”.
Season 1 ran in 2013-2014, while Season 2 and Season 3 ran in 2015
and 2016, respectively. As of
Season 3, a total of 160 communities have been represented in the
Mafia Championship, making it
the largest cross-forum event on the Internet.
I hope that all this sounds very exciting to you guys :)
1. Do you accept the invite?
If your community wishes to participate, please confirm your
participation to me ASAP to ensure
yourselves a spot
If you agree to participate, the deadline for selecting your
representative is April 23 . If this is
too soon for you, just let me know :)
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
[list][*]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 500 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. [*]Relevant only to communities that
participated last season: Season 3
Finalists are not eligible to play again this season.[/list]
2. Season 4 Format
The tournament structure
[list][*]150 communities will participate, each sending one
representative.[*]10 Qualifying Games will
be played consisting of 15 players each. I.e. every representative
plays in one Qualifying Game. 1
player will advance directly to the Finale Game from each
Qualifying Game. The players themselves
vote post-game to determine who is deserving of advancement. I.e.
10 of the 15 finalists will be found
this way.[*]A Jury consisting of finalists from Season 3 will along
with me discuss and vote to
determine a group of 30 wildcard players who will play in 2 Semi
Final Wildcard Games. From each of
these two games, two players will directly advance to the Finale
Game. The last finalist is selected by
the Jury[*]The Finale Game is played. Once it has completed, the
players vote to determine who shall
hold the title of Season 4 Champion.[/list]
The setup
MOUNTAINOUS:
12 Vanilla Townies
3 Mafia Goons
We’re going back to basics for Season 4. Each season we’re changing
it up, and for this season it’s
finally time to play without any power roles or abilities at all.
Pure mafia. You have only yourself and
your reading/bluffing abilities to count on.
Relevant mechanics info
[*]Day start.
[*]Deadline Lynch w/ Option for Majority starting Day 2. I.e. when
day timer runs out,
person with most votes will be lynched. However, day can also be
ended early (starting Day 2) if there
is ever a majority of votes on one person.[*]If there is a tied
lynch, one of the tied players will be
randomly lynched.
[*]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 them
into games with deadlines that suit
their preferences).
[*]Thread is locked during Night Phases.
3. Season 4 Timeline
There will be 10 Qualifying Games, and your representative plays in
just one of
these. They will have start dates during the months of May and
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.
Kind regards,
Thingyman
