If you guys still want to do SS but the timing is just off, then just ask for a swap on the hydra thread, asking does anyone other then the 26th want to swap into the 18th, and that'll get you into another date.

I played in the smash Bros game on MU there this week. I did okay. Game is still live so I won't say much. What I will say though is that I don't have the time commitment to play MU properly. I made 100 posts in 3 days and I was almost the lowest poster. Whereas here I would be grand lol.

Think I'll stick to boards lol.

If we could 40-50 players for a game here I'd bring my bigger game designs. I have one 132 player game design. But that's too massive and may never see the light of day lol

Yeah in the feedback thread after the World Champs there was a lot of talk about perhaps putting a post count limit (other than I think an hour prior to EOD) per phase in place.

Mainly down to my friend MP7 and his..

2k posts in the qualifier
1.5k posts in the WC
Circa 1k posts in the final

:eek:

Policy lynch that dude is what I'd be doing:P

over on mu they have a university forum, with articles, one is called information overload, written by soah.

well, here is a reply that mp7 and that 500 poster needs to read

soah over on MU wrote:

I think that people can solve this problem just by being more aware of it while they are playing. I'm always keeping an eye on my post count and comparing it to the other players, and I try to make sure that my post count reflects my level of contribution to the game. If some players in the game are spamming while others are struggling to keep up, I try not to contribute to the problem, and I focus on making my own posts as useful as possible. When not much is happening, I lower my standards so that I can just get more stuff into the thread to generate more discussion.

On 2+2, people came to believe that posting in stream of consciousness was the #1 way to prove that you are a villager, and that proving you are a villager is the most important part of being a villager. And this led to absurd situations where people with the highest post counts in games hadn't even read all of the posts, because they were too busy posting to take the time to actually read stuff that they missed. It does no good for everyone to prove that they're a villager through their posting if no one else is reading it.

And people aren't going to clear you just for post volume unless they think you're a complete scrub. I remember one game on 2+2, which I didn't play in, where a guy posted 250 times on Day 1 only to get mislynched. A number of people laughed at what a terrible lynch it was because he was obviously a villager, but for players in the game who might have limited time available, properly digesting 250 posts by a single person in a single day is a large task. I'm willing to bet that a large percentage of those 250 posts were low-content posts that could be easily produced by a player of any alignment. It's just not possible for anyone to have 250 different deep thoughts to share on Day 1 of a game. And so I can easily see how many of the players in the game could get paranoid about a guy who is running up his post count without having content to justify it. There could be some really good thoughts in there somewhere but they just get lost in the sea of posts. People have to make quick decisions on who to vote for at the end of the day and 250 posts by a single player is way beyond what anyone has time to read in that spot, and that leads to people making confused votes. When people reread your posts, they want to see how your reads evolved, whether you followed up on things, etc, and that can't be done if it is a chore just to make it through all of your posts.

If you're a villager then you don't want the other players to have to spend anymore time than necessary worrying about your role. The time they spend reading your posts is time they are not spending reading posts by the wolves. So when they do read your posts, you should at least make sure they are helpful and informative. If a player spends hours reading your posts and the only thing they learn is that you're probably a villager, then they're still no closer than before to actually knowing who to vote for. So try to help them out by keeping an appropriate signal:noise ratio so that it's actually worthwhile for other people to read your posts.

cliff,.. i'm with you, policy lynch the no content 250-500 day 1 posters.

their signal to noise ratio is way too low to be useful to the village and their posts will wipe you out before end game if you keep them around

Necro · 17-11-2018 12:15am

What an absolute hypocrite :pac:

90 per cent of his posts were off topic nonsense in green text.

The other 10 per cent was pure Bollocks.

How he made the final still baffles me to this day.

Hi there!

It's time for Season 6 of the Mafia Championship*. I was hoping you might be willing to help me get the word out to your fellow community members and maybe oversee the nomination process and such? I will of course check in as regularly as I can to answer any questions

INVITATION TO THE MAFIA CHAMPIONSHIP (SEASON 6)

Ahoy there!

I’m very excited to invite your community to participate in Season 6 of the Mafia Championship.

*please note that the term championship is used very loosely and is not meant to mean championship at all, but the term is more meant to mean fun times and populous voting.

sKeith · 29-03-2019 3:23pm

INVITATION TO THE MAFIA CHAMPIONSHIP (SEASON 6)

Ahoy there!

I’m very excited to invite your community to participate in Season 6 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 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, 270+ 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

1. DO YOU ACCEPT THE INVITATION?

If your community wishes to participate, please confirm your participation to Thingyman as soon as you can to ensure yourselves a spot. Currently, the plan is to accommodate 187 communities this season (last season featured 170 communities), and if interest is high enough we will expand even further to 204.

If your community agrees to participate, the deadline for selecting your representative is April 26, 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 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 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.

2. SEASON 6 FORMAT

The tournament structure

187 communities will participate, each sending one representative.
QUALIFIERS: 11 Qualifying Games will be played, consisting of 17 players each. I.e. every representative plays in one Qualifying Game. The players themselves vote post-game to determine who is deserving of advancement. 1st place will advance directly to the Finale Game (i.e. 11 of the 17 finalists are found this way), while the 2nd place finishers will advance directly to one of the two Wildcard Games.
WILDCARDS: A Jury consisting of finalists from Season 5 will discuss and vote to determine 23 players in total deserving of a second chance. They will play in 2 Wildcard Games along with the aforementioned 2nd place finishers that advanced directly to these games. From each game, three 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 6 Champion and a winner’s certificate signed by Dmitry Davidoff, the creator of mafia.

This year’s setup: Mad17
The setup is called Mad17 and features 17 players.

13x Town
4x Mafia

Each of the following 17 roles will be assigned at random to one player in the game without regard for the player's alignment. Each role is restricted to using its action only on the nights listed on the chart.

Relevant mechanics info
- Day start
- Role reveals at death are alignment only. You will not learn a player's exact role when they die.
- Majority is not in effect.
- Votes are automatically locked in at LYLO.
- Mafia factional kills are assigned. They can be tracked, watched, or roleblocked.
- Mafia share a factional Night Kill, which is a single standard shot for their faction.
- Mafia members may perform the faction kill in addition to their regular action at the same time.
- Mafia may communicate at any time.
- Tied votes will result in a player being lynched at random from among the tied players.
- Each individual player may make a maximum of 200 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 roles automatically, the bot receives and processes actions, etc.).

3. SEASON 6 TIMELINE

There will be 11 Qualifying Games, and your representative plays in just one of these. They will have start dates during the months of April, May and June. 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 well. I.e. if your rep is busy until June, that isn’t a problem.

Wildcard games will be played in July, and the Finale Game sometime in August/September (whenever we can work out something that suits everyone).

If you want to get in contact with me ASAP, you can find me on Discord (Thingyman#6075).

Kind regards,
Thingyman

Baggly · 29-03-2019 3:45pm

Would you be interested sKeith?

Would anyone else be interested?

If we have 1 candidate, they get picked.

If we have more than 1, lets follow the suggestion and have a democracy vote off.

fixXxer · 29-03-2019 3:51pm

Can we not enter as a boards group? I'd be interested but there's much better players here who should go first.
