Thingyman

If anyone is interested in repping BZP this year, please let me know before the week is over. A little video to hopefully get you hyped about this season - would love to add your community's name to it

Don't be shy. I've told the other communities they're not allowed to bite

Thank you, Efandril. I hope someone will be interested in representing BZPower. Let me know if any of you have any questions

Already 150 players signed up in just a few days. Sign-ups will close Nov 19 And just to note, this is separate from the Mafia Championship tournament. This is purely for fun and you're partnering up with someone, so on the whole should be a lot less intensive

Quick Mafia Championship Update For those who didn't follow the Mafia Championship to the end, Dels from GameFAQs ended up winning the fourth season. He will be receiving a winner's certificate signed by Dmitry Davidoff, the creator of Mafia. Hydra Event 2017 - Interested? Last year 220 players from dozens of different communities participated in the first ever cross-community Hydra Event. It was a big success and people have been wanting another one, so... It's finally here! If you don't know what "hydra" means, it's when two people share the same account (two heads). So the concept is that each participating community can send multiple hydras if they want, each consisting of two players, which tends to make the game more fun in addition to making it easier to be active since two players are playing on the same account. Sign-ups will be open for next couple of weeks. Those signing up will receive a link to a Doodle + a Google Survey so that they can be slotted into a game that suits their availability and preferences wrt game size and type. If you'd like to play, just find a partner and lemme know either here or in the thread below. More info here: http://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/threads/12461-Hydra-Event-2017

The Championship Game Has Begun! Hi guys! I'm a bit late with this because I've been busy, but your representative's Mafia Championship game has started and it's still Day 1: http://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/threads/8686-Season-4-Game-6-Smurfs-The-Mafia-Championship I wish them the best of luck. Remember to please keep discussion of the game to private channels where the players wouldn't be able to see your comments on the game. Also, if you want to spectate the game along with people from other communities, you can join the Discord server here (500+ people): https://discord.gg/zdeEhcg In the past few days we've had a troll who keeps joining the server, so when you enter the server please tag and let the @staff know which community you are from and who you are cheering on and they'll give you access to the spectator channel

FINAL UPDATE Your representative has been slotted into this game below. GAME 6 @ MAY 22 (36/12 Phase Lengths w/ 10 PM EST deadline) @7-Zark-7 (ARS Technica) @AragakiAyase (Flash Flash Revolution) @Bious (Jesus Toast Mafia) @bruin228 (Nutopia) @Burnmad (BZPower) @Cobalt (Gay Teen Forum) @Fable (No Goblins Allowed) @Flare (Survival of the Fittest) @Jon Paul (DailyMafia) @MysteriousLad (Wars World News Forums) @One one two (Canucks Community) @Ronaldwho (Xtratime) @Shooter0898 (Sackinima) @Skyoden (Hattrick.org (Chilean)) @Vaimes (MTG Salvation) Do you wish to spectate and/or talk with players from other communities? We have a big chat on Discord (300+ members) for those that want to spectate and talk about these games. The representatives will be added to this channel too after they die. Or if you just want to chat with people from other communities, we have a general chat too that is unrelated to the Mafia Championship. 1) CLICK HERE TO JOIN: https://discord.gg/zdeEhcg 2) Tag one of the red or blue people in the chat (write @Thingyman or @staff for example), let them know who you are and from what community, and they'll give you the necessary permissions to see the spectator channel. This is necessary to avoid the wrong people (the representatives and their backups) joining the channel. You don't need to have Discord installed in order to join the channel, as there is a web version. 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. Where do I get more info? Refer to this thread: http://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/threads/7692-Season-4-The-Time-Is-Now%21 This thread will tell you all the details about this season. It also includes the list of participating communities and their representatives. __________ If you need to get in contact with me, my Skype is "thingyman" and my Discord is "Thingyman#6075". From this point on I will be checking in less on the various sites. I will make sure to pop in again though when your representative's game starts and post a link

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. _________________________ 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.

So is there anyone who'd be willing to volunteer? If there's at least one person willing to do it, I can safely lock you guys in for a spot

Update on The Mafia Championship Exciting news: We are expanding to 150 participating communities, which is more than last season. In fact, we may even go for 165 communities depending on how some invitations go. On that note, if you know of a community that might be interested in participating and isn't on the list in the linked post, let me know and I'll be happy to give them an invitation: <not sure if linking is okay> Since none of the representatives chosen at this point have indicated that they can only play if their game starts April 24, I have made the decision that the qualifying phase won't begin until May 1st in order to allow me more time to get everything properly organized and to get all representatives properly prepared. This will have no impact on the overall schedule for this season; the qualifying phase will still be wrapped up by early July, after which we dive into the wildcard games followed by the finale game. Finally, to communities that haven't elected a representative yet: Remember that your deadline for electing a representative is April 23.

Hi guys Blessed Blade told me this would be an appropriate place to post this. I hope I'm not doing anything wrong -- if there's a moderator or leader of this community that I should contact first instead, please let me know and I'll make sure to go about things properly. The reason I'm posting here is that I'm hosting a very big mafia championship tournament, featuring 135 different sites, and I would like to extend an invitation to your community It's a super fun event that's been running for several years and it's built a lot of awesome relationships between communities and has even led to several romantic real life relationships if you'd believe it. I'd be stoked to see you guys represented, so if this invitation intrigues you, well, do let me know . If you have any questions, I'll make sure to pop in regularly to answer them. Link to the invitation with way more information: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E9x7nJkSPmv1ZtSKFdSmLsvD4DQoX13i2MA9VG5p4W4/edit
