I hope you're doing well ❤️

I'm all right, but also same!

Hi, Leelou! How are you doing?

It's "What Would Tom Brady #12 Say?"

The important thing about mafia isn't winning or losing or even if you played well. All that matters is you have fun

@Verbal32 I don't know what black magic you used to bring everything back but truly, thank you

I have literally zero idea what this means.

hi, i'm dan

@Hallia has graciously accepted the spot. She very deservedly won the nomination last year for Mafia Universe - and kicked ass, and I am 100% confident she's going to be great again AND do exponentially better than I would

To be clear, I wasn't trying to run a game or hoping I could. I was just offering in case people wanted to play more games. Aside from my vacation the first week in may (and whenever my champs game runs if I end up repping, I guess), I'm happy to help out as I can. That said, if people have things they actively WANT to run, 100% put yourselves ahead of me

I was literally in that game with you.

It's hilarious and annoying.

All rights, boys and girls, the last game before champs has finished. Names are due this week, so if anybody has a name they want to put forth - including your own - please let me know ASAP. Also, as Shad said, a backup candidate would be great. It's not a requirement, and you probably won't need to play, but its always helpful

lol this was definitely a game of all time

No.

I can't go next unless A) it's a 9 player game, OR B) it's a very death heavy game, OR C) I run it at 24/24 instead of 48/24, OR D) somebody covers for my ass while I'm in Europe. which I potentially have someone that could but I would never assume that without asking her If people want a super fast game, or I can bribe my partner in crime into helping, I can have signups up today @Verbal32

Actual reviews of my game: "Dude, I am so close to absolutely losing my shit on everything" "I want to say I had fun, but I'm not going to lie to you" "This game broke me." "Chris, I want to kill you right now." "This was an epic set up" "I genuinely hate you, Chris." "only chris could feel good abt making ppl play a setup like that >.>"

It won't be Gods and D3mons.

I could run a game at some point if needed.

Regret. 😞 if it's because I made you a care bear, I'm visiting BFG in a few weeks and can relay your disappointment in her peer pressure in all seriousness, though, if nobody else wants to, I'll do it for the sake of having a rep. I just can't guarantee it will go well lol

So far we have noms for @Zander? and what I think is a facetious nom for me.

INVITATION TO THE MAFIA CHAMPIONSHIP (SEASON 12) Ahoy there! 🙂 I’m very excited to invite your community to participate in Season 12 of the Mafia Championship. The Mafia Championship is an annual forum-based tournament series that pits representatives from various online Mafia (aka Werewolf) communities against one another as they compete to determine the Internet’s greatest Mafia players. Each participating community democratically elects one person to represent them and be their “Champion”. The tournament first started back in 2013. Since then, 400+ different communities and 50+ different nationalities have been represented. It’s a super fun event that has created many new friendships and close bonds between communities. I hope that you would be interested in taking part 🙂 DO YOU ACCEPT THE INVITATION? If your community wishes to participate, please confirm your participation to Arapocalypse or Master Radishes as soon as you can to secure yourselves a spot. Currently, the plan is to accommodate 120-135 communities this season. If your community agrees to participate, the deadline for selecting your representative is April 19th, but the sooner the better. 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 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 (a back-up) 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 500-700 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 handle a good amount of activity on a daily basis! SEASON 12 FORMAT The tournament structure 120-135 communities will participate, each sending one representative. QUALIFIERS: 8-9 Qualifier Games will be played, consisting of 15 players each. I.e. every representative plays in one Qualifier Game. The players themselves vote post-game to determine who is deserving of advancement. 1st and 2nd places will advance to the Semifinal Games. BONUS ROUND: Any community backups who were not called on during the Qualifier round will be invited to play in a special Game of Backups, a chance for them to participate in champs hype! SEMIFINALS: A Jury consisting of finalists from Season 11 will select 27-29* additional players to advance to the three Semifinal Games. From each game, five players will advance to the Finale Game based on a post-game player vote, just like in the qualifying phase. THE FINALE: The Finale Game is played. Once it has completed, the winning team will receive the title of Season 12 Champions and a winner’s certificate signed by Dmitry Davidoff, the creator of mafia. Players will also vote for additional awards including Best Team Player, Most Enjoyable Player, and Most Appreciated Playstyle (subject to change before the finale). *The semifinal/finale setups may be designed for more players than 15. The qualifier games will be played using the Wolf Cube setup (see below), and semifinal/finale games will be played using a different setup. The semifinal/finale setup will be tested from April-June and then finalized; more details to come soon (before the start of the season). This year’s qualifier setup: Wolf Cube x9 Vanilla Town x1 Town Tracker x1 Town Doctor | Even Cycle | Hidden Modifier x1 Town Doctor | Odd Cycle | Hidden Modifier x1 Mafia Jack of All Trades (x2 Roleblocker, x1 Ninja) x1 Mafia Jack of All Trades (x1 Tracker, 1x Roleblocker, x1 Strongman) x1 Mafia Jack of All Trades (x1 Role Cop, x1 Roleblocker, x1 Vigilante) | Cycle 2+ Important Notes Mafia flips only show the alignment of the Mafia player, whereas Town flips usually show the full role of the Town player. The only exceptions are Town Doctors, who will only flip as Town Doctor and their modifier (Odd Cycle/Even Cycle) will not flip. Mafia JOAT abilities do not cycle after they are used (they only get the stated ability uses). Additional note: this setup is subject to minor changes before the season starts! Relevant mechanics info Day start. Majority elimination will not be enabled during day 1 and is not required at any point for the elimination. Starting on Day 2 and until MYLO/LYLO, majority will be enabled at 12 hours after SoD (in 36/12s and 48/24s) OR at 24 hours after SoD (in 72/24s). MYLO/LYLOs are exceptions, during which majority will be enabled immediately. If day ends >24 hours before the day's natural EoD, then night will be shortened and the next day will begin at the next instance of the game's SoD time. If day ends close to 24 hours (ex. 23 hours), night may be shortened at host discretion. Tied votes will result in one of the tied players being eliminated at random 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). Mafia may communicate any time, and often use a Discord server for mafia chat. Mafia share a factional Night Kill, which is a single standard shot for their faction. The mafia factional kill is mandatory. Phase Lengths and Deadlines will be up to the players themselves (I’ll organize your representative into a game with deadlines that suit their preferences). Thread is locked during Night Phases. Votes are automatically locked in at LYLO Each individual player may make a maximum of 125 posts per day phase (this restriction is lifted 1 hour before day end). The game will have a host to oversee everything and make sure everyone’s following the code of conduct, but otherwise the game is completely automated (automatic votecounts, thread locks and reveals alignments automatically, the bot receives and processes actions, etc.). SEASON 12 TIMELINE There will be 8-9 Qualifier Games, and your representative plays in just one of these. Their start dates are each Monday from April 21st-June 16th. 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. I.e. if your rep is busy until June, that isn’t a problem. The Semifinal Games will be played in July/August, and the Finale Game sometime in August/September (whenever we can work out something that suits everyone). The Game of Backups will be played between the Qualifiers and Semifinal Games. If you want to get in contact with us ASAP, you can reach us on Discord at lissa2, arapocalypse, or masterradishes. Kind regards, Season 12 Championship Organizers

My first thought was "anyone who isnt Chris again"

Look, you all know what this is. If you don't, read this thread Setup is lightly roled 12 on 3, we have until late April to decide, games will run over summer. Rep will play at least 1 qualifier with potential to advance to semi finals and finals. Expect heavy volume, especially if you advance. I'll edit the post with this year's invite when I'm home Sunday, but right now its 2:30 in the morning, I'm at a pizza restaurant 600 miles from home, I just paid $250 for a room at the freaking Holiday Inn, my flight was delayed an hour and a half after we boarded, and I can't be bothered to try to make Ara's form work on my phone.
