Watching that game reminds me of how cool that site is. Love all those bells and whistles in particular the Votes page and ability to go back and look at the votes at a certain point of the game. Love playing here, always will but I do pine for some of those features sometimes

I prefer here, my heart is here, but MU has so many little enhancements that are just wonderful.

I couldn't play there all the time, its very intense at times.

Site seems very cool

Id have ssues from reading that thread with metagaming, surprised its tolerated. Nice pace of game though

The first day was very fast but thankfully the 2nd day was mich more manageable as I was pushed for time.

The meta gaming talk is fine, Ive tried my best to denounce it.

Im looking forward to day 3.

God, if I play anything like the practise game you'll all be screaming at me on Discord

I followed the practice game up to a certain point, I found it quite confusing at times so fair play to you! I thought you were doing great.

Practice game over. Really enjoyed it but I couldn't call the last wolf. I saw scenarios where they are all wolves in the final 4.

To those who watched, how'd I do.... what can I improve upon

I finished reading the game last night. I thought you could have been the wolf... And then you were killed

I think Lootz (the final wolf) should have kept me alive, I was so unsure who teh last wolf was. I could see so many scenarios where anyone of the other 4 were wolves and I couldnt choose. I wasnt sure at all and kept changing my mind. Paranoia got me good with no seer.

Yeah, and I think Ducky was beginning to wonder if you were wolf too because of your voting record. I would have kept you alive for that reason.

I was between MK and Lootz for the last wolf. There was a post that Lootz made on Day 4 I think that basically gave away their own wolf meta, I only noticed it because I had picked up on it earlier and was sort of tunnelling them anyways lol.

Basically they left BlueKang out of their PoE list completely and then on Day 4 (I might have to check the actual day) they stated that as a wolf they always deliberately leave a wolf buddy out of their reads/PoE lists. That locked me onto them, because I don't think even they realised they made that slip up.


I was on MK because of their shocking voting record, counter wagon to scrawl night 1 and then BlueKang votes them Day 2, I'd have lynched both of them before probably anyone else I think. I did have a bit of suss about you but BlueKang's wolf spew did have you pretty clear, they were right about that tbf.


I think it's difficult going to a new place and to immediately pick up both the lingo and how they do things so you did very well, being on the winning team in your first game is a big bonus and some nice experience of the format to boot!


As an aside the motion detector role is the most useless, anti-town role I've ever seen and it seems they absolutely love it over there. The player with it outed two roles this time, if ye had not have hit a wolf that lynch it probably would have put ye in a very bad place.

After I stopped tunneling Ducky, I was looking at MK the post. The voting pattern really bugged me, esp the late vote on BK.

Didnt appreciate their self vote nonsense though. I was open to being swayed but the way they went about things did nothing to convince me they were town.

You just linked to the hells kitchen game? And where were you for the Eurodance party BJ we missed you

Well I was a wolf and our wolf team somehow got townread by almost all other players and we sailed through.

All 3 wolves survived and won without a single vote against them at the end of each day.

Got I use a lot of MU lingo now. Like when I go away and pick up an accent.

A lot of hard work but we had loads of luck too

Ha ha, brilliant, well played

Ok, Ive had time to recover and reflect.

If anyone is going to the Champs next year, i cant recommend the practice game enough. It really helped me get to grips with the site and how other players may/may not play. I went into the practice with the hopes of playing my usual style and taking it easy early on, but it quickly became apparent that it was frowned upon. But I used it as a warm up and it helped loads in terms of using site features and picking up the terminology. It was intense and grueling to a point and its really hard with no seer as a village player.

The actual game I randed wolf and was so happy to have a team to not only keep me from the loneliness of being town, but also to help me strategize.

My teammates Pilica nd Nyth were uber nice, very welcoming and friendly and we all agreed to at least enjoy ourselves which made it so much more fun. I took the game serious to a degree, mainly because I wanted to do Board Forum Games proud, but I just happy to take part too.

We all agreed to play it straight and pretend we didnt know eachother were wolves. We pulled eachother up on anything we felt was natural and werent afraid to shade eachother. I felt to appear village, I had to put myself in town shoes and suspect everyone. It seemed to work as most peopel had me and Nyth, and to a lesser degree Pilica in their good piles.

First day I had it in my head to jump all over anyones game reads and attack those who appeared weak. Game reads can be difficult on day 1 as it is, so I knew someone somewhere would throw a lazy read out there. Savvy, Relm and Mittens obliged , Mittens being a player who provided one close to end of day 1 and I had to attack. It worked and they got lynched and the counter wagon was fairly high too with lots of late switching which made it easy to attack players day 2.

Gomes and Dino being the wagons day 2 played into our hands and I knew we could get a misfire from teh vig when either one of teh wagons flipped green.

We by luck took the bodyguard and motion detector out which helped us a lot and with a lot of village players being low posters, we had things fall just right

I knew Day 3 I could shade Spiderz, an obvious village player. They flip floped like an unsure village player who didnt know who to trust and we used it against them. Their vote switching could easily be made look bad, esp when we only killed village players in lynches. I lucked out again with his absence that day, and that absence fueled my theory.

I knew by day 4 I could get a pile on of folks , we only needed 2 extra votes to get a majority and I knew we could sway at least two that Spiderz was bad.

And we got the clean sweep. Im not a good player IMO and I got a lot of luck coupled with 2 great team members, but I feel I played my best game ever. Everything just worked out by chance.

Im pretty burnt out now though but i hope I did enough to reach the Semi Finals.

LOVE LOVE LOVE all the support in the discord thread. You guys are the bestest.

Any advice or critic is all welcome.

If its like years gone by there is a jury of former winners who pick who goes through.

edit: sorry there is also a vote by those who played in the game to see who goes through

Sounds like it all went according to plan


How's that decided?
(sorry, should have followed along, then I'd know all of this, but I've been crazy busy recently)

the 15 players of the game vote for their top 4 players 1,2,3,and 4.
Votes for all players are tabulated and the top 2 players voted by the players go onto the semi-finals.


After all 10 games have been played, the players of last years final, will then pick another 25 players to join those 20 player in the semis.

SEASON 8 TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE
150 communities will participate, each sending one representative.

1. QUALIFIERS: 10 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 place will advance to the Semifinal Games.
2. SEMIFINALS: A Jury consisting of finalists from Season 7 will select 25 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.
3. THE FINALE: The Finale Game is played. Once it has completed, the players vote to determine who shall receive the title of Season 8 Champion and a winner’s certificate signed by Dmitry Davidoff, the creator of mafia.

This means any representative could play anywhere between 1 to 3 games.

TIMELINE:

• The Qualifier Games will have start dates ranging from mid-May to early July. Exact dates to follow.
• The Semifinal Games will be played in July and August.
• The Finale Game will be played in August or September.

VOTING PROMPT
After each game ends, the players will cast their votes based on this voting prompt:

I hope my buddies make it through first. Pilica has played each year but never advanced. Nyth had a wonderful game and got my first place.

I believe the placing reveal occurs Wednesday.

Well done Joe
