I've got an idea for a game if there's enough people around and available to play.
I've got an idea for a game if there's enough people around and available to play.
I'd play. Maybe a tough time to start with Christmas coming up though
That was my thought, I'll wait to see what feedback's like.
I'll play if it starts in the next day or two
I'm around even with x mas.
I'd also like to do Clue IV at some point.
If we could get a few people together I'd be glad to run a Christmas themed mini-game. If like, 8-10 people are willing to play a game during Christmas week I could put together a game with characters from Christmas specials or something.
I'm here and open for anything. The only days I wouldn't would be Christmas Eve and Christmas itself, though I'm sure I'd be able to check in at some point.
I'm around
I'm here as well
I'm in too.
Hmm...I'll think about it a little and maybe make a thread tomorrow.
Nice one.
I'll wait until the New Year for mine then.
I made a thread for the Christmas themed game:

Once I know how many people will be playing and all that we can work out the details, but I'm thinking a smaller game as a holiday warm up for JP's game.
Yeah I don't think you should worry about player activity. It's pretty simple, if you don't have time to play don't sign up.
So who's up?
All you doc. Grab it by the horns
As Goldberg would say, WHOOOOOOO'S the uhh next one who is going to be next at running a game.
Ya someone rub a game. I haven't played in ages
I'll think up a game today. I'll post something today.
I've been working on my Game of Thrones game. It's still not ready but I'm getting closer and I guarantee it'll be live before the new season of the show premieres. Maybe a lot sooner.
I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around multiple scum factions and the scenarios that could play out. So let's say the town gets entirely eliminated but there are still members of different scum factions left. At that point everyone would know which side everyone is on. Would we at that point skip the day phases and just go all night phases until it's resolved? Idk, any game runners who have done multiple scum factions- insight would be appreciated.
The last time i did multiple scum factions, Knee cheated to eliminate one of them. Not sure if that'd help. I like the idea of no day phase, since you couldn't reach a majority.
The moment any faction other than town has a majority - where their numbers equal or better the the rest of the game put together - that's the end game. If it so happens two share different sets of scum hold the same numbers when a majority is reached then winners all round.
There are exceptions, for instance if there is a scum that has equal or greater numbers but there's some trickery which means a different faction could still win the vote, like a double vote, blocked vote, bomb etc, then the game could continue.
Well easy fix would just be whoever has the numbers wins. If it's equal no day phase would probably work
Coming soon...
Mafia Gear Solid
All kinds of in.
Can I be the box?
I forgot how much I love these games. Can't wait.
Oh fuck me silly sideways. I'm all in for my favorite game series of all time.
I can't wait to vote for all of you after running the last game. Especially those of you who didn't clear your PM boxes...
YOU BASTARD! You've stolen my big mafia idea!!!Originally Posted by Stan Accy

Mafia Gear Solid
....You'll probably do it better than I could anyway. Reserve me a spot and all is forgiven.
I'll let you have 2, 4 & Peace Walker. Also this'll be my first game as GM, I'm still learning the ropes
You can have a seasoned game runner look over your layout, that's what most first time game runners do.
I am working on Gotham Mafia.
so batman?
No, Gotham.
James Gordon, Harvey Bullock ...
Gotham could be cool, different feel to our previous BatMafia
Bruce Wayne may make an appearance.
gotcha. I've never seen that show. any good?
not particularly
It has a bit of a cult following. I think it depends on how into the back story and comic books you are.
Either way its a mafia game in Batman Universe just no Batman and Robin...
As a Batman show? No.
As a police drama? Erm, still no.
As an original take on some iconic comic characters origin storys?
So who's working on a proper game next? I've been toying around with role set-ups for a couple theme ideas I had. I'd give it a little time to give the games some breathing room and let me focus on finishing the MOTY list, but if no one else has something coming up, I'd gladly take the spot.
this is weird. You're all so weird.
Fanny you are welcome to play anytime you want.

Is that GoT?
yada.yada.yada.
Please tell me George will be a hider... and when someone looks for him:
yada.yada.yada.
do we think we can get 20 people for Thrones?
It's possible especially since it's got.
20 would be a tough get I think.
I thought we just had a 20+ game not long ago.
#WinterIsComing
Bollocks to that its just warming up.
Rip and I received this PM from a Rajah user with 0 posts (good to know forum registration is open again at least). Apparently it's an invite for a tournament on the site Mafia Universe (not sure if you really need an invite or if this is essentially just an advertisement - but whatever I figure I'll post it in case someone wants to join). Neither Rip nor I are interested in joining. So if anyone wants to represent Rajah in a mafia tournament on another site, I guess you can sign up. Take this for what it's worth:
Someone should play. Not doct, but someone.
My initial thought was JP.
Thank you for the help, Fro.
I'm here to answer any questions you guys have
The obvious question, which I'm sorry to ask, is simply is this legit?
Followed by what brought you to our corner of the internet?
Yeah, that was my thought too. Maybe he googled mafia?
N'awwwww.
I'd be useless though. Don't have the time since starting my new job and half the reason I'm sort of alright on here is because I'm not bad at reading people when I know them somewhat, especially little differences.
With strangers I'm like a little lost pig in a den of wolves.
Wolves.
Direwolves.
#HurryUpFro
I mean, it's as legit as something like this can get. It's not a "sponsored" event or anything, though Dmitry Davidoff - the person who invented mafia - offered to chat with the Season 1 winner. It's been running since 2013 and more than 160 communities have participated. This season alone will have 165 participants, setting a new record.
I guess further proof is this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game)
"In late 2013, Michael "Thingyman" Harders founded the Game of Mafia Champions, an invitation-only series in which players from multiple internet communities play in a series of mafia games, culminating in a final game, where the best player of the year is determined. The series was first hosted on Two Plus Two Poker Forums' Puzzles and Other Games section and has since been moved to Mafia Universe.[17]"
Indeed.
I've actually been wanting to invite you guys since Season 1, but I've never been able to register here until now.
Any other suggestions for representation lads?
I'd do it for us if no one else does, but there's many better than me.
Troll the rest of the online mafia players with doct1400
Sorry it took so long to get you registered. Hopefully we have someone represent us. It won't be me, but I really do think someone should.
With that said I'd also say you should stick around and play a game or two here. We can always use new blood, especially new blood that knows the game.
CWE
I'd also put Fro up as a representative
CWE

Did that say all vanilla town? I would suck as town in that game.
I need dees.
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).
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.
Bloomin hell.
So...
Who we putting forward?
I remind you of the high activity requirements. Realistically, your rep would need to be able to dedicate probably a couple of hours each day on the game (ofc spread out over the day). I 100% understand if no one can do it, but hopefully someone can
Probably the first person who volunteers. I think you're the only person who has quasi-volunteered so far. If no one wants to go, so be it.
The all vanilla thing is a turn off for me.
Yeah the vanilla thing could be a huge hurdle for us with the way we set up our games.
Someone else volunteer eh?
I've changed my mind. Let's make doct do it.
Today's final day.
Please let me know as soon as you can whether you have a rep
Doct or Fro
Anyone really. Would just be cool to have someone involved
Why don't you do it Jordo?
I'm definitely willing to step up if CWE or JP don't want to go. Maybe I can actually get somewhere when I'm not being killed on D1.
You got it, I would message thingyman since today is the deadline
I'm reading through the game rules for the forum, and I came across one that made me wonder: has anyone here intentionally sabotaged their team against their given win condition? Like, a townie, who isn't a traitor, that's purposely throwing town under the bus because they want to see Mafia win, or vice-versa?
I've always thought it would be an interesting way to play, but I feel like it would be cheap to your teammates, and it being a rule on those forums makes sense to me. I don't think we need to make a hard rule about it here or anything, I was just curious if anyone has ever done or thought about doing this before.
Does doct1400 on Miotch in beard mafia(?) count?
That was an honest goof! I hit the bearded lady AND the shaved mafia guy in a row so I had good damn reason to think I was insane
We all already know you're insane.
How are things going, Psycho?
Can't wait for this to start today.
4.28.17
FINAL UPDATE
Your representative has been slotted into this game below.
GAME 2 @ MAY 1 (48/24 Phase Lengths w/ 10 PM EST deadline) @aaronadowdy (Paranoia Paradise) @Alabaster (BoardGameGeek) @Alkanthe (Chucklefish Forums) @Choxorn (CivFanatics) @Dendi (NADotA) @Enso (Common Forecast Boards) @Jamie (Zelda Dungeon) @Maverick (Oro Jackson) @Morvis13 (The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe) @pianotm (rpgmaker.net) @pluslefan (Nuzlocke Comics) @Psycho666Soldier (Rajah) @Sgt. Serious (Football Forums) @The Admiral (DuelistGroundz) @Ultimate-Gamer (Starmen.net)
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
As you can see above, Psycho's game is starting tomorrow. But he hasn't confirmed or been online in the past 3 days.
If he doesn't get back to me by 6 PM EST tonight, I will have to drop him from the game. Is there anyone here willing to take his place? Please indicate so ASAP.
I'll take his spot unless anyone on here has any objection to that
Excellent.
Assuming your community is good with this, could you register an account on MafiaUniverse.com? I'll then send you a PM on there. (Sorry to be rushing things -- but I'd like to have everything ready today, since game starts tomorrow).
Also, feel free to add me on Discord if you have it: Thingyman#6075
I'd be ok with it.
Account made. Name is the same there as it is here.
I don't think I'm remotely close to.top.of the heap of rajah mafia players but if it comes down to me I'll do my best
Also I installed discord but I have no fucking clue what it ia
