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.

_________________________

Final reminder: If your community hasn't picked a representative yet, your deadline is by the end of tomorrow (April 23). If you choose to send anyone at all, that is.

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.

Most likely because it denotes you being below all the good people, meaning your claim to fame is "I'm better than most of these suckas", which isn't much.

Ah, well I don't play because I'm good at it, I play because it is interesting, and the many adaptations these 'scrubs' come up with are in the very least, entertaining.

I also play cause I don't have much else to do. Play Mafia is my Plan B.

I'll vouch for Dunsparce, if he's up for the May rounds.

Pros:
- One of the better scumhunters here
- Has played relatively few games in "our" meta, compared with others at his level

Cons:
- Tends to antagonize his fellow Townies a lot

Pretty good fit, overall.

One thing's for sure, he'll have time to do it. Go make us proud, kid, I bet you can make it past the first day phase!

I actually won't. I'm looking for a job right now, and by the time the game rolls around, I'll probably have very little free time.

Sorry for letting you guys on, but in my defense, I never woulda guessed you guys'd actually pick me to represent y'all. But thanks for dumping a little gasoline on the conflagration that is my ego.

Deadline has passed, I officially need to find someone else to fill the spot. If someone wants to go though, let me know -- maybe you'll catch me before I find a replacement.

Yeah, well - sorry to let you down, man, and thanks for coming by. Do it again! We're a very small community, as they come and go, so the fact that Tirin and I are finishing up our undergrad this year is already a pretty big hit to our availability. Stack that up with other people's summer plans, work schedules... well,

Well, a bigger group of forumers would have more backup slots to fill from, is what I'm saying. Hope you don't get the wrong idea; I, for one, would generally very much look forward to the opportunity to take another shot at that meta of yours. I just can't do that right now. =/
