I know. I kept asking dumb questions that were explained in the rules. Instead of just skimming them and assuming I know them and then asking questions, I will try to actually read and remember the rules.

Also, @Vsotvep, remember when I tried to post in the night right before the morning? It was confusing because you said the day phase started at a certain time, and then when a few minutes passed I tried to post, but I wasn’t supposed to because you didn’t update it yet. We should put that in the rules.

Last night, I dreamed about another game of Werewolf.
I was in a medieval city and received written instructions on the game. My role was called “Mumtor”, and it meant I would (have to?) torture and kill someone on the second day in order to find out their role.
I went on to find one of the other players and get close to him, but he got suspicious, so I ran away to some other part of the city. But there I was also suspected of not being a citizen, so I had to flee again, but a knight caught me and decapitated me with his sword. Game over.
Definitely one of my weirder dreams.

We need to find out what your dream means. I only know one way.

I’m convinced it means we have to play again! 
But I hope I won’t be a werewolf/vampire, because I would suck at it.

It’s obvious you have to die and guide us from the great beyond.

Also, I suggest a new recruitment thread, we have new players on OGS and you may lure some fresh blood.

Hi! I apologize for just posting this here and hope this is okay; I don’t have PM permissions and this seemed like the least intrusive place 
I’m the head organizer of a very big Mafia (Werewolf) Championship tournament, featuring 150 different communities, and I would like to extend an invitation to your community.
The Mafia Championship is a super fun event that’s been running since 2013. Over the years, 320+ communities, 50+ nationalities and 770+ representatives have participated. More importantly, it has created strong bonds between communities, resulted in countless friendships, and it has even led to people getting married, believe it or not
The concept, to explain it very briefly, is that each community elects one person to go represent them in the Championship. I’d be stoked to see you guys represented, so if this invitation intrigues you, feel very free to share it with your fellow community members.
If you have any questions, just let me know.
Full invitation
INVITATION TO THE MAFIA CHAMPIONSHIP (SEASON 7)
Ahoy there!
I’m very excited to invite your community to participate in Season 7 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 player. Each participating community democratically elects one person to represent them and be their “Champion”.
The tournament first started back in 2013. Since then, 320+ 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
- DO YOU ACCEPT THE INVITATION?
If your community wishes to participate, please confirm your participation to Lissa as soon as you can to ensure yourselves a spot. Currently, the plan is to accommodate 150 communities this season. If there is further interest, additional communities may sign up as substitutes; generally there are some replacements needed both before and during games.
If your community agrees to participate, the deadline for selecting your representative is April 27, 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
[list][]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 500-600 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.[/list]
- SEASON 7 FORMAT
The tournament structure
[list][]150 communities will participate, each sending one representative.[]QUALIFIERS: 10 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 6 will select 25 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 players vote to determine who shall receive the title of Season 7 Champion and a winner’s certificate signed by Dmitry Davidoff, the creator of mafia.[/list]
This year’s setup: JOAT^2
The setup is called JOAT^2 and features 15 players.
The setup consists of the following:
[b][color=red]3x Mafia Goon[/color]
[color=green]2x Town Jack Of All Trades (9x Doctor, 9x Motion Detector, 9x Tracker)
10x Vanilla Townie[/color][/b]
Note that the Jacks Of All Trades must use all three actions before repeating an action, i.e. they are rotating. This does not mean they must use the actions in the same order every time.
Relevant mechanics info
-
Day start.
-
Majority lynch is enabled Day 2+, but majority is not required at any point in order to lynch.
-
Tied votes will result in a player being lynched at random from among the tied players.
-
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).
-
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.
-
Mafia factional kills are assigned. They can be tracked, watched, roleblocked, etc. (In this setup, that means they display as an action to the Tracker and the Motion Detector actions.)
-
Mafia share a factional Night Kill, which is a single standard shot for their faction. The mafia faction kill is mandatory.
-
Mafia may communicate at any time.
-
Each individual player may make a maximum of 150 posts per day phase (this restriction is lifted 2 hours 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 roles automatically, the bot receives and processes actions, etc.).
- SEASON 7 TIMELINE
There will be 10 Qualifier Games, and your representative plays in just one of these. They will have start dates ranging from late April to mid-June. 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 well. I.e. if your rep is busy until June, that isn’t a problem.
The Semifinal Games will be played in July, and the Finale Game sometime in August/September (whenever we can work out something that suits everyone).
If you want to get in contact with me ASAP, you can find me on Discord (Lissa#8083).
Kind regards,
Lissa

Hi Lissa!
Thanks for inviting our community! You seem to be having lots of fun.
If anyone is interested, I’d love it if they share their experience afterwards.
You can always start your own thread, it will get better visibility.
Is this open to the public, can we maybe follow as onlookers? It seems like a lively event
Note: I can’t speak for everyone but our games until now have been rather slow since we can’t have high daily activity.
PS: Do you mind if we “borrow” some of the ideas for our own, slow-paced, few-participants games?

Hi!
Yes, it’s absolutely readable to the public! We have a permission-gated spectator channel for the games in the forum’s Discord, and it’s quite active during the games; it’s a pretty fun place to be! You’d also be welcome to make your own separate community spectating chat, as long as your rep can’t access it of course; but I’d highly recommend being in the big spec channel as well If it’s okay, I can post a link to the server here!
I’ll go ahead and make a separate thread, then!
And definitely feel free to borrow some of the ideas!

@Gia, are we ever going to have another game on here? I think we should, even if I suck at remembering half the rules. Many of the forum games have stopped at one point or another, and sometimes I feel we need some of them back. I don’t know if we have a director right now, and I would volunteer to direct the game, except if I can’t remember the rules, I don’t think it would be good for me to direct. I can completely see myself forgetting the rules and saying something stupid. If others would like me to do it, I would try my best. We need to bring some forum games back.

@KAOSkonfused was called upon by the elders to direct, but if not interested, I’ll follow your lead no problem.

Sorry, I think that a) I don’t have enough time to direct and b) wouldn’t be good at it (my roleplaying skillz are just not that great), so I’d love to play again, but someone else™ should take the lead.
Should I try and set this up in this thread or another thread?
I guess you’ll need one thread for recruitment and general questions so we can have the game thread afterwards.
