    interesting setup.
    15 player; wolf team of 3 x vanilla wolf and a village consisting of 2 x JOAT (9x Doctor, 9x Motion Detector, 9x Tracker) and 10 vanilla villagers.
    I'd be happy to host a practice game but for I don't think it would be over before the 11th :(

    Do you want to have your own private community spectator chat?
    This is definitely both allowed and encouraged. However, I ask that you please do everything possible to make this chat private and inaccessible to your representative, backup and your representative's opponents. It's important that your thoughts and comments don't influence the game. In other words, please don't post about the game in public threads -- this is very important.

    Hi.


    Are you excited?



    If you are not excited, then please let we welcome you to werewolf.

    It is a game of cunning and deception and comradery and teamwork.

    it's a simple game that can be deceptively complex.

    Folks on boards have been playing it since 2016.

    It was started in after hours, and very soon after found its own home in forum games.

    Thingyman first made himself known to boards community in april '17, and the boards community chose tigger to be there first ever advocate to the mafia world championship games, where he played in game 11.

    Since then, players such as Necro and sKeith have thrown there belts into the ring too, but not until barney92 stepped up did boards.ie ever see such sucess.

    Boards.ie is now into the semifinal stages of the mafia world championship games!

    Barney92 will play in SEMIFINAL GAME 2: AUGUST 10, 1 PM EDT End of Day, 48/24.
    The game will be played on mafia universe site. see here


    If you wish to follow barney92 along on his journey, there is a spectator chat discord site that you can follow, and talk to the wide global community (mention that you are a boards.ie barney92 fan and they will open up spec chat for you) or if you wish to be more selective, you can join a much smaller discord of boards only barney fans. (pm me for access)

    We have been invited to join MU's Annual Hydra game. Anyone interested?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Bad experience last year puts me off tbh.

    Hey folks, just got the annual invite to the MU World Championships, see below for further info
    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 forum Mafia player. Each participating community democratically elects one person to represent them and be their “Champion”.

    The tournament first started back in 2013. Since then, 320+ 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 Lissa as soon as you can to ensure yourselves a spot. Currently, the plan is to accommodate 150 communities this season. If there is further interest, additional communities may sign up as substitutes; generally there are some replacements needed both before and during games.

    If your community agrees to participate, the deadline for selecting your representative is May 7th, 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

    General Discussion Thread MU

    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 500-600 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 promise a good amount of activity on a daily basis!




    SEASON 8 FORMAT

    The tournament structure

    150 communities will participate, each sending one representative.
    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.

    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.

    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 year’s setup: Gold Rush 15er
    2x Mafia Goons
    1x Mafia Roleblocker
    1x Town Motion Detector
    1x 1-Shot Town Vigilante (n2+)
    1x Town Doctor
    9x Vanilla Townie

    Flips are alignment only.

    Relevant mechanics info

    Day start.

    Majority elimination is enabled Day 2+, but majority is not required at any point for the elimination.

    Tied votes will result in a player being eliminated at random from among the tied players.

    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).

    Phase Lengths and Deadlines will be up to the players themselves (Organised into a game with deadlines that suit the rep's preferences).

    Thread is locked during Night Phases.

    Votes are automatically locked in at LYLO.

    Mafia factional kills are assigned. They can be tracked, watched, roleblocked, etc. (In this setup, that means they display as an action to the Motion Detector action.)

    Mafia share a factional Night Kill, which is a single standard shot for their faction. The mafia factional kill is mandatory.

    Mafia may communicate at any time.

    Each individual player may make a maximum of 150 posts per day phase (this restriction is lifted 2 hours 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 8 TIMELINE

    There will be 10 Qualifier Games, and your representative plays in just one of these. They will have start dates ranging from mid-May to early July. So in other words, as long as our representative can play sometime during that period, they should be good and the organisers will make sure they get scheduled into a game that suits their schedule well. 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 they can work out something that suits everyone).


    So we have until May 7th to sign up (though ideally it would be done prior to that).

    I'd be interested in taking part again but if there are others who have never played before then I think they should take precedence personally.

    FYI our reps in the past have been

    2017: Tigger
    2018: Necro
    2019: sKeith
    2020: Barney92
    2021: ????


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,906 ✭✭✭Barney92


    Yeah, I won't be throwing my hat in the ring again. Shafted I was last time ;).

    You do come across some interesting characters and it is a nice way to play without any sort of baggage from previous games (although during the game some players look up each other's home boards to see if they can spot trends in play - I didn't bother with that). You also get to try out a different format, and the site they use does have some nice features.

    Off the top of my head I'd like to see Rikand or beakerjoe give this a rattle this year.

    So they will be my nominations (should they choose to accept)

    Rikand and beakerjoe for the World Championships!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,371 ✭✭✭Neowise


    Would love to see JP Liz consider this. I think she'd be great for this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,468 ✭✭✭Ectoplasm


    I promise whoever goes, I'll cheer you on from the sidelines. I may even compose a cheerleader style rhyme :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,025 ✭✭✭duffman13


    BJ or Necro for my vote. Pure post volumes and long games require a lot of dedication and commitment plus a possibility to mix it up. For that reason, they'd be my vote.

    Cheers duffers, I've no problem going tbh. Though I was there three years ago so if there was someone else that had an interest in partaking I'd back them ahead of myself personally, it's worth it for the experience imo

    Thank you for the nom, but I will respectfully decline myself if thats okay. I'm not able for the volume of posts in those games. I'm currently playing a game on 2+2.... there's still 4 hours of day1* to go and the thread already has over 3000 posts and I'm completely overwhelmed by it. I just dont have the time commitment for that anymore :)

    As I said before, I'm happy to go but would really rather someone who hasn't done it before went if they were willing.

    Thanks for the nomination, but I really couldn't do this. I'm starting a new job in less than 2 weeks, and have no idea what the demands will be just yet, but expect to be bamboozled enough with that for the first few months anyway. Also I'm not nearly an experienced enough player!

  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    That's a very good reason tbf cee_jay :D

    Ok if Liz is interested I'm happy to withdraw and let us decide between beaker and Liz for the representative and substitute?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,485 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Thanks for nomming but I will support beakerjoe

    I barely manage to get through werewolf with some understanding :o

    Looks like we have it sorted so. BeakerJoe as our rep and Necro as sub.

    Now... what can I rhyme with BJ? :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Congrats BJ and Necro. Bring home gold or dont come back.

    beaker I'll shoot you a PM after work with what we gots to do next to confirm our involvement.

    Mainly involves setting up an MU account and filling out a sheet of your preferred dates for a game along with time preferences. (12/12, 36/12, 48/24, etc)

    So from signing up, I am required to submit a bio to MU. And it states, I should feel free to enlist the help of my community in which Im representing to create my bio..... so with that in mind, BIO ME!

    Be cruel, the funnier the better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    From MU site:

     

    BIO:

    [Insert whatever information or fun facts that you wish here. Talk about your mafia-related accolades, impressive stats, fun anecdotes, favorite role to play, strengths and weaknesses, your approach to the game, other players' quotes about you, or take out the piss on the whole thing and make some jokes. The ball is entirely in your court, this will be how you present yourself to your fellow competitors and to the many spectating communities.]

    I like the take the piss idea, have at it folks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Almost done Day 1 (36 hour day) of a pre championship practice game, man its grueling.

    The dedication some players have may Necro look like a non poster. I like the MU site, all the gizmos like ISO's and note pad and vote history are all really cool and the players seem sound so far.

    Linky above.

    Im using it as a gauge for how players play, whats acceptable play and what not, and to figure out how the site works. Im pretty relaxed playing it.

    But the standard of player is high, I dont see myself going far in the MU championship.

    A common thing on boards is to reference mod communication. Dont do it over there unless it explicitly states that it is okay to do so or you'll be insta modkilled. On A lot of mafia / werewolf forums, private mod communication is majorly taboo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,371 ✭✭✭Neowise


    gotta love that 5m end of day timer on MU.
    it really amps the tension up to max.

    rik, i think it being mostly automodded over there, so stops the need to mention the hosts at all.

    I did enjoy the count down. Ive really enjoyed it and the day break is welcomed.

    Seem like a decent bunch if lads in my practice game.

    Be interesting to see what happens when the game reopens.

    Its been a eye opening experience.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Starting day 3 now and happy to be still alive.

    Ive enjoyed this practice experience. Everything is so different yet the same.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,127 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    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 :/
