Mafia Championship Season 5

Post by Moliere »

I received this message in case anyone is interested,
Hi there!

Season 5 of the Mafia Championship is set to begin in about a month's time. Invites will start going out later this week.

Last season saw a record-high number of 165 different communities participate, and a whole lot of those communities were completely new to the series, helping to keep the tournament fresh and more exciting than ever. As always, I'm eager to let new communities get a chance at being represented, so I'm sending out this PM to ask everyone:

*Do you know of a community (forum, Discord, Facebook, whatever) that plays mafia that might like to participate? Then please reply to this PM and let me know.*

Here is a list of communities that HAVE been represented before:

Thank you very much for posting this, Moliere!

Here's the actual invitation with the details on this year's tournament: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E9x ... 5p4W4/edit

Basically, if anyone here would be willing to represent Octopus Overlords in a mafia forum tournament - in which 170 different communities will be participating - then this is that chance ;)

Deadline for choosing a representative is May 1, but I'd preferably need to know before whether you guys are confirmed participating. Hopefully someone will want to give it a go.

Don't be shy. And hey, the winner receives a certificate signed by Dmitry Davidoff, the creator of mafia :P

Hi guys

I'm going on a short vacation tomorrow. Will be back Sunday, April 29.

As for the deadline for choosing a representative (or someone volunteering themselves), I am extending this by a couple of days to May 3.

When/if your representative is decided, that person should please either PM me on Mafia Universe or reach me on Discord: Thingyman#6075. During evenings I will quickly check messages and get them the information they need to prepare for the game.

I really do hope someone out there would be interested :)

All these people volunteering. How are we going to pick someone? random.org? Find out who won the most out of the last 10 WW games played?

Maybe we could send a bot.

No, Moliere is definitely a real person. I know it's hard to believe, because he's so brilliant and charming, but I can assure you that he is a human person who also is definitely separate from and different from me.

A new opportunity to play:
Dear Moliere,

You have received a new private message at Mafia Universe from Ampharos, entitled "Hydra Event 2018: You're Invited".

To read the original version, respond to, or delete this message, you must log in here:
https://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/private.php

This is the message that was sent:
***************
Have you ever had the aching, burning desire to play mafia, but only if you can also re-enact your favorite buddy cop movie at the same time? Well, my oddly specific friend, have I got the event for you!

That's right, we're talking about the Hydra Event 2018: https://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/th ... ded-Titans

In this event, you'll find yourself a partner from your home community and the two of you will share the same account to play mafia on. It's a great chance to have fun and make new friends.

Historically, this event involves an absurd number of players playing a whole lotta mafia and having an absolute blast while doing so. The games will start between late October and mid December, and you'll of course be slotted into whichever game suits you best with regards to start date and preferred setup type.

Sign up - you won't regret it!
***************

Again, please do not reply to this email. You must go to the following page to reply to this private message:

All the best,
Mafia Universe
