Mafia Championship Season 2 - Dragonmount is Invited Again!

[Thingyman]

Hi guys

 

I hope it's okay for me to make this thread.

 

So as many of you probably remember, I hosted the 2013-2014 season of the Mafia Championship. It featured 100+ players from 45+ different communities.

 

Now it's time for season 2 and I was hoping that you guys would be interested in participating once again. The first time around you guys were represented by Darthe, Despothera and Verbal32.

 

If you guys are interested, I will as always leave it completely up to you how you go about choosing your representative. Just make sure that the representative is prepared for and able to deal with a lot more activity than they're used to. It won't be as insane as the first season, seeing as it's 13-player games this time (more on format below), but nonetheless it will still require a lot of activity.

 

 

 

The info:

 

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

 

The first game is set to start April 6^th. The other four games will take place in the 1-3 months after that. I will make a Doodle and find out the best times to start the 5 games so that preferably everyone gets to play during a time that suits them well.

 

In addition to this, it is also 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).

Are the wildcards just the top three vote getters from all the games, with the two guaranteed participants from each game removed?

No. At least, not necessarily. You could have a game with a bunch of players who are bad compared to the other games, but all the votes could still pile on player C because he's less bad than others. That doesn't mean that he's better than player D from a different game that featured much better players and an even spread in votes.

 

I haven't definitively decided on an exact method for deciding the wildcards, but it seems likely that I'll enlist the help of a few Ultimate Mafia Champions (finalists from season 1) and then we'll make a decision together.

[Tommyrod]

I'm sure DM can pick someone suitable. Or die trying.

[Darthe]

Sup

[Darthe]

I'm hoping Yates if he doesn't go from ms

[Sili Quirrels]

Yates

Nynaeva

 

Those are good.

[Sili Quirrels]

I'm technically not a Dmer though, so like, just my opinion.

[Cory Caboose]

Spoiler alert: Yates

[Cory Caboose]

So when me and Tom are wolves in the Ultimate Champs Game II we can get him to MK himself

[Sili Quirrels]

Good times, good times...

[Clovdyx]

Surely he can't do that twice.

[Cory Caboose]

Don't tell him what he's capable of Clov <3

[Niniel]

Yates

Nynaeva

 

Those are good.

 

Good suggestions. Clov? (Maybe he is playing for some other site?) We have the Empys Awards right now so we will soon get a "Best player from 2014". Not sure when it´s done.

Sure you are. You are a member and you play here. That makes you a Dmer. :)

[Nynaeve]

Yates

Nynaeva

 

Those are good.

 

Appreciated but I don't have the time for it =)

[Yates]

I would second Clov.

[Darthe]

I thought he would get nominated elsewhere.  Similarly I expect a nomination from VS for my perfect turbo record.

[Cory Caboose]

Clov staunchly refuses to play these

[Nynaeve]

not surprised

[Yates]

Would Verbal go again?

[Yates]

And you know what? I think Tress or Key could both be pretty baller [though I know Key has been busy IRL for similar reasons to me].

[Tommyrod]

Just send Yates with a twelve pack and it'll all work out

[Cory Caboose]

You could send Verbal again if you're boring

Key is great but she's been gone for awhile

Tress is great but I'm not sure if there are rules about the significant others of Current Champions playing

 

I'd nominate AJ and Cass too even though Cass is technically inexperienced (eye test LDO)

[Tommyrod]

Who has time

 

AJ would be good

 

Cass for hyper spunky wildcard pick
