We need to vote on the nominee for the mafia championships on MU. Each person gets one vote.

The nominees are:
Oromagi
SupaDudz
WaterPhoenix
GreyParrot
Speedrace
Virtuoso
drafterman

If you see your name here and explicitly want to be removed from consideration, let me know ASAP so we don't vote for you despite your unwillingness/inability to play on behalf of the site.

May want to reconsider drafterman and Speedrace in the final. He temporarily left the site due to Coronavirus and taking care of personal matters. IDK if Speed is willing to represent, he also quit the site

I don't know anything about the championship- time commitment, software req'd, etc.  If drafterman's in the running, then I'd say he's the best choice.  If speedrace is willing, I'd call him 2nd choice.  I wouldn't call myself better or worse than the rest of this list.  I've never played the game elsewhere so I don't really know what to expect or if my style would translate as well as a more laid back player like GP.

So I'm not my first choice but I'm game and appreciate the nominations.

Don't be so hard on yourself, you're a good player, and I am positive at least one person (other than whomever nominated you) will vote for you...

Warren put your name in the first post, so I assume someone nominated you. I would check with him or look up the previous thread.

Ok we have oromagi with four votes and water with three if I'm correct? Would like someone to check to make sure. If that's the case and both confirm they're willing we can send oro as our nominee and water as the backup in case something comes up for oro.

As far as questions regarding the championship I'm happy to answer those I can and refer you to others that can answer what I can't.

To answer the ones oro raised: time requirement is minimal to play, though obviously the more you put in the better you're likely to do. There are a series of games played in prelims, semifinals, and a final round. Your fellow players vote on who advances with a panel of judges that watch all the games selecting a few more players that played well and that they thought were deserving despite not gaining the vote of their peers. If you do not advance past the prelims (I believe the "top" ~25% of players do) it's only a commitment for one game. I believe they'll send you a survey to gauge your time zone and ideal game from an activity standpoint. They try to match players up so that times line up as much as possible and people who post 15 times a phase aren't often paired with those who post way more.

Software isn't required, it's all hosted on their site. They have a feature called modbot that does things game mods usually do here (mainly send role PMs, process night actions, and count votes) which has a slight learning curve but is great once you learn. No wrong vote counts ever again!

Awesome, good luck! I'll definitely be watching and anyone else who wants to can join the MU Discord. We can't discuss publicly, but can in any chat Oro doesn't have access to. I think I'm gonna make a server for us specifically to discuss in case anyone wants to!

Hi guys


Game 1 - May 4 (36/12 phases, 5 PM EST EOD)
@Achromatic (GameFAQs)
@Anaxagore (Dominating 12)
@BloodWolf14 (Weerwolven van Wakkerdam)
@CJSchneider (For the Sports)
@Cornflower MM (Redwall Abbey)
@Elayne (Lupus in Tabula)
@Frinckles (Skwirl)
@hollowkatt (Good Gamery)
@Inconquerable (The Alter Bridge Nation)
@Jazziejelly (Werewolf (Mafia) Group)
@Matt4 (Lupus in Forum)
@Mr.Tweetums (wrestlingsmarks.com)
@oromagi (DebateArt)
@Shapes (Jambos Kickback)
@Sherlip (Animal Crossing Community)

Do you wish to spectate and/or talk with players from other communities?
We have a big server on Discord (1,000+ members) for those that want to spectate and talk about these games. The representatives will be added to this channel too after they die. Or if you just want to chat with people from other communities, we have a general chat too that is unrelated to the Mafia Championship.

1) CLICK HERE TO JOIN: https://discord.gg/CwDKmjQ

2) Upon joining the server, please inform us of who you are and which community you are from. We will then give you the necessary permissions to see the spectator channel. This is necessary to avoid the wrong people (the representatives and their backups) joining the channel.

You don't need to have Discord installed in order to join the channel, as there is a web version.

Do you want to have your own private community spectator chat?
This is definitely both allowed and encouraged. However, I ask that you please do everything possible to make this chat private and inaccessible to your representative, backup and your representative's opponents. It's important that your thoughts and comments don't influence the game. In other words, please don't post about the game in public threads -- this is very important.

Mafia Championship Podcast
For the first time ever, there will be a Mafia Championship podcast.

The first episode goes live on Twitch at Sunday 4 PM Eastern. It will feature 3-4 former winners.

It will go live here, if you are interested: https://www.twitch.tv/mrthingyman/

Where do I get more info?

This thread will tell you all the details about this season. It also includes a list of the 165 participating communities and their representatives.

If you need to get in contact with me, my Discord is Thingyman#6075
