I can go this year, I was just out from last year because the championship team is a part of the following year's judging.
I don't think I could realistically do it this year though anyway.
If people can freely vote them it's just a fight between which community can muster up the most votes.To be fair, it is kind of a weird popularity contest. It's like you're playing mafia while also playing a meta level of mafia because you want to do good in the game and also be a recognizable name.
I still kind of want to see how they handle Blarg.

I feel it's the best way of doing it when you can't really go by merit.
I already made you all proud two years ago. I believe I still hold the record for most votes attained to make it to the final championship game. My qualifier match is worth a read (maybe skip the outrageously long day 1). If you think I've played well here then you're in for a shock.
Edit: Season 3, Game 5
Yeah, you are right. It just seems like the odds will always be against the scum players.If people can freely vote them it's just a fight between which community can muster up the most votes.

You're not wrong :PWhich makes you a perfect fit to represent our community and everything it stands for! :D
You guys are too good to me.

lolStill believe Hecht would do great too, though I don't know if Admin duties and Mafia games mix well. :p
Priorities, heck. Who needs family, friends, or a job if you get to take home bragging rights of being a better Mafia player than Sorian? AND it would come with winning the Mafia Championships too!
I already know I'm better. I don't need randos' validation :PPriorities, heck. Who needs family, friends, or a job if you get to take home bragging rights of being a better Mafia player than Sorian? AND it would come with winning the Mafia Championships too!
That's just practice
Thanks for narrowing down :) your first post in that game is a stark reminder of the Volcano Island post that got you mod killed.
By the way were you scum in that game? Who were your scum buddies if yes?
It was ok, I didn't do exactly what I wanted to do in that one though.
So what you're saying is you want to nominate yourself? ;)I'm glad my classes are about to end; I wanna read all this stuff.
It ended really early and IMO it was much more a team effort in that game rather than individual performances
Last season there were 12/12, 36/12, 48/24 and 72/48 games being played. 48/24 was the most popular so you don't need to be glued to the screen all day, but 12/12 is the most fun. They also try to group by timezones and you can swap games just after they've announced groups.
Yes and no. 12/12 is over within a week which helps a lot.12/12 is super fun but is obviously a big time commitment and it needs to be stressed that the whole thing is.
Last year's had qualifiers first which is just one game for each person and from those one person is chosen by voting to go to the final. After the qualifiers some jury picks out a wildcard selection which in the last season was an average of two from each qualifier game and enough to fill two extra wildcard games and from those games the final finalists were chosen. Then the final was played.
The level of play really isn't that high, especially in the qualifiers. Most players come from communities similar to ours and don't play it super seriously.

For most players that's just one game, for those that do well two games, and for a couple of players three games.

That's not to say there aren't great players in them, but rather that it's not all super mafia players that'll intimidate you. A way more prominent feature was the culture clash because everybody's used to their community and at most just a handful of players have played with each other so the reads are quite vague and general early on.
If you're reading the games though note that mine was a bit of an outlier in bad play with a town that just didn't mesh. Sorian's game had a much stronger town and play overall and is probably more representative.
Edit: The consensus my season was that Game 9 had the best play and I think five players from it went on to be picked for the wildcards. It had a really good endgame with the longest mafia post I have ever read. I timed myself and it took me 10 minutes to read it.
LOL as I mentioned to someone else, I apparently radiate scumminess no matter what I do so I would probably go down in flames.
I'm pretty sure I threw the game I was in by tunneling and got myself mislynched in lylo. You'd be fiiiine. I think you'd likely benefit from no one in the game having any association with you either.LOL as I mentioned to someone else, I apparently radiate scumminess no matter what I do so I would probably go down in flames.
Depends on who you're playing against. The MU meta is to look for towniness as opposed to scumminess which can really help you as an active player. Good scum play is generally being able to post a lot and seem like an active townie.LOL as I mentioned to someone else, I apparently radiate scumminess no matter what I do so I would probably go down in flames.
The game was already in the shitter before you joined lolI'm pretty sure I threw the game I was in by tunneling and got myself mislynched in lylo. You'd be fiiiine. I think you'd likely benefit from no one in the game having any association with you either.
My biggest downfall was leaning too much on voting behavior. When I came in there was so many posts already though, and while I read it all I couldn't exactly go and take many notes because the day I subbed in I was a lynch candidate and needed to spend more time engaging. So I ended up finding some specific lynch that stuck out to me and made me confident one of two specific people were scum. Neither was and we lost. Whoops. It was also the game that scarred me as far as trusting if emotion is genuine. One player got really touchy and I thought there was no way he would do it as scum. Again wrong which is partially why I ended up with three straight games of confrontation over here and ultimately stepped back. It was an interesting experience though, it's different playing in such a pure game like it was that year at least.Depends on who you're playing against.

bop had a really bad game there (spec chat was confused as to weather he was scum or just playing a really bad town game as he's usually a much better player) and town really fell apart when dLGN died.
From what I remembered of post chat game it was often brought up that the gbs lynch should've never happened and that that was when the game went down hill.
You also joined right in the middle of that. I'm sure they would've gotten a different impression had they seen your play early on. I'm pretty sure your analytical play would've gotten you a much more positive light and they'd have a clearer view of your thoughts.
Well, you can always toss it in and just see. We send a player and a backup after all. I think last year we only had..three nominees maybe?Yeah, it sounds like it was more situation around Natiko than Natiko there. But maybe I'm biased, as a member of the Natiko fan club.
And sure, I mean, I'd do it. I'm always up for anything that seems like it could potentially be a bad idea . I just think there are a heck of a lot better players around.
Sock? I didn't have a strong read of them, but I got bad feels from the out of nowhere suspicion of me in my last day.My biggest downfall was leaning too much on voting behavior.

I have the free time, I just didn't nominate because I'm not good enough, if anyone else wants to go I won't, but let's send one.
Go for it!
So, with the fortnite 50 VS 50 mode going on is anyone interested in
Mafiera (and a bunch of random dudes) VS the world!
tomorrow? I could play from 8 pm cest.
I'm way down for some Team Fortnite, but Sundays are generally no good for me. Maybe I'll poll interest for an inpromptu game on Monday around the same time, assuming I'm not going to a job interview.
LolSo we don't even get to vote? Democracy has failed. What a ripoff.
Democracy is dead. It's Anarchy time!So we don't even get to vote? Democracy has failed. What a ripoff.
