Thanks. I don't get it either, but in the game tinfoiling will happen. I was so close to going the entire game without a single vote and then Junk had to mess that up at the end. That was one of the most intense games I've played, but all things turned out good in the end.
I also got my :thumbsup: over here.
The champions game is over and we got a strong villa win, which is unusual in the champions games.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to represent FTR in this.
I hope you feel I represented FTR well.
Well done for winning. FTR rocks.

i wish i could have read this. if the whole game had been 15% its size, i could have.
it sounds like you repped well and won. gj.
Thanks guys. I appreciate it.
Rilla, I'll collect on that at "I owe you one!" later. :D
This game was slow as hell. I was in a mishmash with 15x as many posts while this was going on.
It was probably the best game I've ever played TBH.
I agree, it was pretty slow, especially the last couple of days. IMO, this one was a case where the village worked more as team and essentially solved the game after the first wolf lynch. Paranoia was kicking in, but it didn't take over the game.
FWIW, this game was the first time the villa has won in the championship series with the exception of the finale last year.
Rascal deserved to advance to another game, we wuz robbed.
Invitation to The Mafia Championship Season 3
Hello everyone, it’s that time of the year again :)
I am making this post with the hopes that your community would be interested in participating in Season 3 of the Mafia Championship. It will be bigger and more epic than ever before.
This year we’re expanding once again; 136 communities will be invited to participate, making this not only the biggest Mafia event ever, but also the largest cross-forum event in the history of the Internet. We’ve also moved the venue to Mafia Universe, a new site created largely because of this series.
Are you interested?
As always, how you decide your representative is completely up to you. To guarantee your community a spot in Season 3 of the Mafia Championship, I will need to know of your community's interest within the next week (until April 4th). Following this, you will have an additional two weeks to decide your nominee (until April 18th). Additionally, it would be a very good idea to also name an alternate.
Remember that your representative needs to be prepared to deal with a lot of activity. Expect at least upwards of 500 posts per 24 hours during the early stages of the game. The representative needs to not only be able to read all this, but should also at least be able to manage making 10+ posts per day phase.
Season 3 Specifics
• 136 different communities are invited to participate. If some decline the invitation, I may opt to allow larger communities an additional nominee.
• 8 Qualifying Games will be played with 17 players each.
• 2 players advance to the Finale Game from each game based on post-game votes.
• 1 Wildcard Game will be played (Wildcards are decided by a jury consisting of former finalists), determining the 17th and final spot in the Finale. Runner-ups in this game will be first in line to replace any finalists who may have to drop out.
Season 3 Timeline & Important Dates
The first Qualifying Game is set to start April 25th. Additional games will take place in the 1-3 months following. I will create a Doodle and find out the best times to start the various games so that preferably everyone gets to play during a time that suits them well.
In addition to this, it is also a priority to ensure as much as possible that all the players in any given game has no prior history of playing with each other to ensure a level playing field (but I cannot 100% guarantee that this won’t happen).
Season 3 Game Design & Setup
For each season, we’ve changed it up. This time, we’re doing something new again!
The setup is called Matrix12 and is inspired by mafiascum’s popular Matrix6 setup, if any of you are familiar with that. In short, the concept is that there are 12 different possible setups and the host randomizes which one is used. The players know what setups are available, but not which one will be used!
More on the setup here: http://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/...on-3-Format%29
Regarding lynch mechanics: There will be a deadline each day phase, and the person with the most votes at the end of the day is lynched, unless a majority has already been reached before then, in which case the day ends prematurely.
Days will last 36 hours and nights 12 hours, meaning 48 hours (2 days) per game day. With one exception: The weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) will be one game day (so day will be 60 hours and night 12 hours on weekends).
No thanks. Fuck off.
I'd rather invite douchebags from this site to maybe play a turbo in six weeks.
Dude you're an idiot.Quote:

So when the owner of said site drops a post in here your instinct is to tell him to fuck off?
Yeah good luck with that
@BID: You're out of line.
I am shocked that you have taken such a tone with Thingyman. He has been a gracious host to our little corner of the WW world. He has been cordial and polite in his posts. I understand you're itching for a game, but Thingyman is here to offer a game... so I don't see why your aggression is coming out now.
You could make a strong case to rep FTR yourself, given your record over last year and the extremely unlikely event that Gator would volunteer for the Championships.
@Thingyman: Thank you for the consideration. BID's post does not reflect the FTR WW community's opinions.
We will discuss it, but I fear this site has dropped past a minimum threshold of activity necessary for WW games.
It could be a temporary lull, but we haven't had a game in over a month and the sign-up threads are stagnant.
It may be wise of you to be prepared for a non-answer from us. I hope we will have a volunteer to represent FTR, but it's not as much of a sure-fire as it has been in the past.
I was jk
Also, I had no idea who Thingyman was.
Now that I know he is an owner of FTR, I feel... No differently, actually. I owe FTR no more money than the amount I've sent, no more free advertising than I've given, and no more love and dedication than I have shown since I joined over a decade ago.
Thanks, Thingyman, for your post. My apologies for thinking it was spam.
Sorry if I wasn't clear, he's the owner of MU not ftrQuote:

Why didn't you say so?

No worries. I interpreted his first post as a joke, but in any case I appreciate your posts :)
You wouldn't be interested? You were Innocent Bystander, right? You were very, very, very good in the game we played together.Quote:

Yes, I am Innocent Bystander. Thanks for the kind words.
I wasn't being melodramatic. You surprised me with that post. I was legit shocked.Quote:

Wolfy, either way, IMO.
:lynch: lynch BID :lynch:
Fuck, 500 posts per day is a shit load even by my standards.
I could be tempted, but my strategy would very likely be to skate by through the early stages until the field thins. If that's considered rude, then count me out.
By skate by, I mean not read everything but still comment on what I have read, just to be clear. I can easily manage 10+ posts a day, even when skating by.
I played two games on MU and both times I was a veritable van helsing. In fact in the second game I got nommed N2 because 4 of my 5 wolf picks were wolves. The games are definitely softer than FTR.
I also completely missed the sarcasm. Glad thingy didn'tQuote:

I can't commit. The timing of the start could be a hassle and the idea of keeping up with 500 posts a day is making me frown just thinking about it.
Like so many here, my life has changed in a way which leaves me less time to devote to games.
Except the game of making fun, new physics demonstrations, which is the best game.

Mojo, Luco, rascal, baudib... Anyone? :(
There will very likely be one 72/24 game if that helps.
Sorry, but def. no from me.
Neither the timing of the event nor the timing of the games is affecting my decision.
It's all down to my own life's timing.
I think gabe should do it. Go cheeba them fools
its too hardcore for me to play
i would play a more casual championship. like 1 game with people from everywhere. it seems like a brutal schedule as is
i should do it and play the absolute worst i possibly can. would be great.

I'll give it one more day or two, I guess.
Perception of your own skill level is irrelevant, it's mostly just about having fun and creating bonds. As long as you can keep up with either a 36/12 or 72/24 game and make a handful of posts each day phase, you're good.
Others need to get exposed to the wolf stylings of FTR. Someone please step up and represent FTR this year so I can rail the game.
I can't guarantee I'll keep up, or that I'll be around when required. Don't look at me.
ah so im guessing yall had a bunch of wolf wins after i left. makes sense. total sense.
:sadface:
I guess since no one is interested in or able to represent FlopTurnRiver, I have to invite another community in your stead.
If someone changes their mind, let me know, and I might still be able to give you guys a spot.
Does anyone remember when we used to play werewolf?
What's were..wolf?
We should play one last game. Call its start date months in advance and let the winners ceremonially close down this subforum.
One last round to see this great chapter through to an end.
im totally sad about quitting. oh well.
I wanna still be playing this stupid game when I'm a sad old man.Quote:

It's probably my fault. I didn't fuck off when everyone hated on me, so everyone else slowly fucked off.
Be sad after the last game, guys.
There's still one game left to play.
To start on May 22nd. I'll mod.
out, sorry.Quote:

sorry to hear that
I'm sorry too.
I'm sorry that it couldn't be a week earlier. Or two weeks later.
I'm down with having a pretend last game
There may be skirmishes and small spats after, but know that this will be the Last Game.
Look around. Do you see games climbing over each other to be played? Werewolf is a forgotten hobby of a lost age and all that we can do to honor it, to celebrate it, is to play the Last Game.
whats the perfect theme for the Last Game ?
something where everyone fades away. like Narnia or something
wow imagine being a villager arguing against getting lynched in the Last Game. the arguments will be so pure.
considering that, how do the wolves even have a chance? the game is already decided i think. nice playing with everyone
Lol gabe
Time travel, do it!
We all go back in time and try to kill whichever of our "past selves" are responsible for a terrible future! Like trump winning. A perfect villa win means a perfect future. Some villa deaths mean mediocrity. Wolf win is something like...trump wins and we lose ww3 or something.
Do it!
If Trump wins, he'll make America great again.
What's this "again" BS?Quote:

We'll put up a name when we're good and ready.

Hi guys
For those interested, the finale of the Mafia Championship Season 3 ended a bit over a week ago, and you can read the game here: http://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/...he-Koopa-Troop
136 communities, 10 games and almost 6 months. In the end, the townies took home the victory, and Whiskeyjack from the westeros community was crowned the ultimate champion :)
Interest in a hydra event?
At least a dozen different communities this year expressed an interest in a so-called "hydra event", so it's finally gonna happen. If you don't know what "hydra" means, it's when two people share the same account (two heads). So the idea is that each participating community can send one or multiple hydras of two players, the advantage of which is that it's maybe easier to be active when two players are both playing on the same account, and it's also just a lot of fun :)
So maybe your community would also be interested in this. If so and if you're wanting to play and have a partner, please send me a PM on this site within the next couple of weeks. I'll check back then and give you more information. Alternatively, you don't need to, but if you want, you can also go ahead and directly sign up in this thread, which also has a bit more info: http://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/...dra-Event-2016
I REALLY would love to see you guys repped in this - it's been a delightful experience every time I've played with any of you guys :)
Anyone interested in partnering with me for the hydra game?
Remember that in a hydra game you can lean on your partner, it's less of a commitment than a regular game. You'll be in safe hands with lilrascal :D
Also, you can choose 72/24 phases if you wanna take it slow (or 12/12 if u wanna get the game over with quick, whatever you prefer).
78 hydras signed up currently. So there'll be at least 6 different small games, one of which you'd be playing in. Gogo FTR :)
I could be interested. I'm not that bothered though so if someone else is more enthusiastic, team up with him.Quote:
