Let's not forget it's a game.

So, go and have fun!

Thanks for the support, guys. Considering what's been happening in the current games, taking it nice and easy may be the best course of action.

Taking it nice and easy is going to get your ass lynched day 1. You're playing with veterans, and veterans know that only mafia would benefit from playing it nice and easy. I'd say go hard, especially on the random voting stage. Especially ESPECIALLY after the rvs. Especially especially ESPECIALLY your entire game.

Good luck, and remember to have fun.

Good luck, Azure. :D

Hi guys

Season 4 is coming up

Would any of you be interested in representing Stickpage this year?

More info here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E9x7nJkSPmv1ZtSKFdSmLsvD4DQoX13i2MA9VG5p4W4/edit

Cliffs:
- 135 communities, each sending one representative
- Setup this year: Mountainous (3 mafia goons vs. 12 vanilla townies)
- You need to make at least 10 posts per Day Phase, and be prepared for a lot of posts the first few RL days
- You can basically play whenever you want, there are 9 qualifying games starting between late April to mid June, so if you have a 2-week stretch somewhere in there, you're good

If interested or if you'd like to nominate someone else, feel free to do so here :)

I'll give it a shot again this year if nobody joins. Might even be able to move further along, so long as my schedule doesn't get me eaten again.

How'd you do last time?

Made it to the final 5.

Did your team win or not? were you town?

Can you like, tl;dr the game if you can still remember? I wanted to read up on it back then but the thread got too big too fast.

Quote from Exile

If I can get a link to see an example of how one of these qualifying games played out I might be willing to participate. I don't know if I like mafia in general or if I just liked playing it with you guys back in the day, I just want to get a general idea of what I'm signing up for

Here's an example game. Note that the setup itself is different - it was 17 players and multiple power roles. This season it's 15 players and no power roles at all.

Thanks after looking through it I think I'll pass

UPDATE ON MAFIA CHAMPIONSHIP

Originally, the plan was for this season to feature 135 communities. We will now have 165 participating communities, which means that this season alone we will have more different communities represented than all other seasons combined. Approximately 60 communities are participating for the very first time. Of the returning communities, about a dozen of them are resending a previous representative, while the rest are all sending fresh faces.

As a result of how big this season has gotten, we'll have more games to look forward to than ever before. We will have 11 qualifying games, 2 wildcard games and 1 finale game = 14 games in total.

All kinds of communities are partipating. Besides the sites dedicated specifically to mafia, we have forums dedicated to popular entertainment, sports, poker, board games, online games, video games, role playing, LEGO, personality type testing, stick figure animations, science, atheism, music, mathematics, comics, students, etc. Some of these communities started playing mafia more than a decade ago; Others just started this year.

Despite this being a forum event, we will also have communities that play the game via various chat clients (Discord, Telegram, IRC, custom, etc.) and via webcam (with games often streamed on Twitch.tv). And not least, there are communities centered around mafia game variants that you can buy on Steam (Town of Salem and Throne of Lies).

This season will also have the biggest international scope yet. For the very first time we will have representatives from Romania, Hungary, Chile, Portugal, Ukraine and Czechia as well as our first person representing a Japanese community. We even have our first Native American.

In addition to this, we of course welcome back countries such as USA, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Italy, Indonesia, South Africa and Ireland, meaning that we'll have more than 20 different countries represented in total.

_________________________

Final reminder: If your community hasn't picked a representative yet, your deadline is by the end of tomorrow (April 23). Ignore this part if you've already chosen your representative, of course.

Next update: I am hoping very much I will have all the info I need from all of the representatives by Wednesday at the latest next week. Assuming I do, I will schedule all the qualifying games on this day and get back to you with your representative's start date.

That's cool and all but 4/5ths of the message being a shameless plug advertising that forum killed the vibe a little. What mafia website has a section dedicated to fucking stick figure animation if they weren't trying to leech users from animation sites lmao
