The Werewolf Game / Re: Mafia Championship: Season...

Last post by Oricorio - April 02, 2025, 09:47:46 PM

My personal life is pretty chaotic right now due to a family emergency and a few other facctors, and while I could go again if absolutely nobody else is willing to I can't guarantee that I'd be present enough this time around, and besides I think it'd be lame if we became one of those communities that just sends the same person over and over. BDS and Toby would be solid options as they've gone before but someone who I think really deserves a chance to represent NSM is mastersuperfan. I think they have all the necessary skills to succeed at the champs (the ability to keep track of a lot of posts s demonstrated by the RPS game where they had to read all the PMs, good analytical skills, a good social game, etc.) and it'd be cool to see what they can do in a champs setting.

The Werewolf Game / Re: Mafia Championship: Season...

Similar to how we did things last year, we'll select our nominee by having players sign up (just by saying "In"), then having the community as a whole vote for who they want to be our representative. Once we have enough people signed up (around 2 or 3, perhaps) and it appears that nobody else wants to sign up, we'll run a poll which will last for a few days. The poll's winner will be our representative, and whoever placed second will be the backup if they so choose. In case of a tie, we will hold a tiebreaker poll between the members who tied, with the loser of the tiebreaker being the backup.

Representative Sign-ups:

[INVITATION TO THE MAFIA CHAMPIONSHIP (SEASON 12)]

The Werewolf Game / Mafia Championship: Season 12

Last post by BlackDragonSlayer - April 02, 2025, 09:07:34 PM

INVITATION TO THE MAFIA CHAMPIONSHIP (SEASON 12)

Ahoy there!

I'm very excited to invite your community to participate in Season 12 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 players. Each participating community democratically elects one person to represent them and be their "Champion".

The tournament first started back in 2013. Since then, 400+ 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 Arapocalypse or Master Radishes as soon as you can to ensure yourselves a spot. Currently, the plan is to accommodate 120-135 communities this season.

If your community agrees to participate, the deadline for selecting your representative is April 19th, 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 600-700 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 11 FORMAT

The tournament structure

• 120-135 communities will participate, each sending one representative.
• QUALIFIERS: 8-9 Qualifier Games will be played, consisting of 15 players each. I.e. every representative plays in one Qualifier Game. The players themselves vote post-game to determine who is deserving of advancement. 1st and 2nd place will advance to the Semifinal Games.
• SEMIFINALS: A Jury consisting of finalists from Season 11 will select 27-29 additional players to advance to the three Semifinal Games. From each game, five 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 winning team will receive the title of Season 12 Champions and a winner's certificate signed by Dmitry Davidoff, the creator of mafia. Players will also vote for additional awards including Best Team Player, Most Enjoyable Player, and Most Appreciated Playstyle (subject to change before the finale).

*The semifinal/finale setups may be designed for more players than 15.

The qualifier games will be played using the Wolf Cube setup (see below), and semifinal/finale games will be played using a different setup. The semifinal/finale setup will be tested from April-June and then finalized; more details to come soon (before the start of the season).

This year's Qualifier Setup: Wolf Cube

x9 Vanilla Town

x1 Town Tracker

x1 Town Doctor | Even Cycle | Hidden Modifier

x1 Town Doctor | Odd Cycle | Hidden Modifier

x1 Mafia Jack of All Trades (x2 Roleblocker, x1 Ninja)

x1 Mafia Jack of All Trades (x1 Tracker, 1x Roleblocker, x1 Strongman)

x1 Mafia Jack of All Trades (x1 Role Cop, x1 Roleblocker, x1 Vigilante) | Cycle 2+

Important Notes

• Mafia flips only show the alignment of the Mafia player, whereas Town flips usually show the full role of the Town player. The only exceptions are Town Doctors, who will only flip as Town Doctor and their modifier (Odd Cycle or Even Cycle) will not flip.
• Mafia JOAT abilities do not cycle after they are used (they only get the stated ability uses).

Additional note: this setup is subject to minor changes before the season starts!

Other relevant mechanics info

• Day start.
• Majority elimination will not be enabled during day 1 and  is not required at any point for the elimination. Starting on Day 2 and  until MYLO/LYLO, majority will be enabled at 12 hours after SoD (in  36/12s and 48/24s) OR at 24 hours after SoD (in 72/24s). MYLO/LYLOs are  exceptions, during which majority will be enabled immediately.
• If day ends >24 hours before the day's natural EoD, then  night will be shortened and the next day will begin at the next  instance of the game's SoD time. If day ends close to 24 hours (ex. 23  hours), night may be shortened at host discretion.
• Tied votes will result in one of the tied players being eliminated at random
• No outside communication. I.e. you may not contact the  other players outside of the thread (unless you are Mafia and wish to  speak with your teammates).
• Mafia may communicate any time, and often use a Discord server for mafia chat.
• Mafia share a factional Night Kill, which is a single standard shot for their faction. The mafia factional kill is mandatory.
• Phase Lengths and Deadlines will be up to the players  themselves (I'll organize your representative into a game with deadlines  that suit their preferences).
• Thread is locked during Night Phases.
• Votes are automatically locked in at LYLO
• Each individual player may make a maximum of 125 posts per day phase (this restriction is lifted 1 hour 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  alignments automatically, the bot receives and processes actions, etc.)

3. SEASON 12 TIMELINE

There will be 8-9 Qualifier Games, and your representative plays in just one of these. Their start dates are each Monday from April 21st-June 16th. 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. I.e. if your rep is busy until June, that isn't a problem.

The Semifinal Games will be played in July/August, and the Finale Game sometime in August/September (whenever we can work out something that suits everyone). The Game of Backups will be played between the Qualifiers and Semifinal Games.

If you want to get in contact with us ASAP, you can reach us on Discord at lissa2, arapocalypse, or masterradishes.

Kind regards,
Season 12 Championship Organizers

So Finale is gone now... Is there any way to create mus. files anymore?

You can still create .mus files and use Finale as before if you already have it. If you don't, read this and please wait patiently while we add full support for MuseScore sheets on the site: https://www.ninsheetmusic.org/forum/index.php?topic=13086.0
