Hello guys.

If I'm posting this in the wrong place or if this is an unwanted post, I apologize and please of course feel free to delete it, but I'm very much hoping this will be interesting to you.

Invitation to The Mafia Championship Season 2

In 2013-2014 I hosted a Mafia Championship that featured more than 100 different players from more than 45 different mafia communities. Each community chose their best player to represent them and they battled it out. The best players from the initial games advanced to a finale game where an ultimate winner was decided. The event was endorsed and supported by the creator of mafia himself (Dmitry Davidoff) who even offered to have a private chat with the ultimate winner. Overall it was a huge success and spawned many cross-over games between sites.

I am hoping that you guys will want to participate in season 2

If you are interested, I need one representative to play on behalf of Dominion Strategy. How you decide this representative is completely up to you.

Now, this part is important: You should of course be aiming to send one of your best players. But more important than that, that person needs to be able to participate adequately in terms of activity. Be prepared for up towards 500 posts per 24 hours during the early stages of the game. More on the game format below.

The current plan for season 2

•   65 different communities will be represented.
•   1 player per community for the entire season (preferably).
•   5 qualifying games will be played with 13 players each.
•   2 players advance to the finale from each game based on post-game votes.
•   3 additional players are granted wildcard spots.

Game setup

The game will have a very basic mafia setup: 3 mafia members, 9 vanilla townies and 1 cop. The cop starts the game with a random vanilla townie peek. Roles revealed upon death.

Some communities are not very used to playing basic setups like this, but for the first season, we utilized a setup with a good share of power roles, so this time around we are trying something new. For season 3 we will switch it up again.

Days will last 36 hours and nights 12 hours, meaning 48 hours (2 days) per game day. With one exception: The weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) will be one game day (so day will be 60 hours and night 12 hours on weekends). This means the game will last a maximum of 2 weeks.

Timeline

There will be 5 games in April and May. The first game is set to start April 6th. I would send out a Doodle to all the participants and they can then mark off which start date would suit them the best. Expect the finale to be played in June or July.

Also, it is a priority to ensure as much as possible that all the players in any given game has no prior history of playing with each other to ensure a level playing field, but I cannot 100 % guarantee that this won’t happen.

I'd nominate ash, WW, or Robz if he has the time for it.

Thanks for letting us know, thingyman. We will definitely field a candidate.

[Galzria]

Very nice of you to invite us. I do wish that I had more time these days to play, but unfortunately just being in a single forum game is more than I can handle at times!

To our player base:

Would a pre-poll and then poll of willing participants be enough to decide by? Could we get that done in a reasonable amount of time (a few days)?

[Archetype]

Archetype as well I think.

Ha! Faust, ash, or you would be my picks.

No, I'm Eewert. I'm basically a zero-poster, been a poker pro for six years though and have actively lurked the survivor threads for a couple seasons now.

[ashersky]

Thanks for bringing this up.  We will definitely field someone.
