It's that time of year again - we've been invited back to the Mafia Championship over at Mafia Universe for Season 6. If you're unfamiliar with what exactly the Mafia Championship is, take a look inside the spoiler below for information on the format and the setup being used in it for this season. With all that being said, we're looking for a player and a backup to represent our community for the new season.
In this thread, the first six days (31st - 6th) will be used to hold nominations for players who intend to join. Afterwards, another five days (6th - 11th) will be used to vote for the nominees in a separate thread.
Nominees must be a member of the community and have played at least 3 games.
If you are nominated and do not wish to play, please communicate that with me either privately or publicly.
Game Setup and General Championship Information Spoiler:TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE 187* communities will participate, each sending one representative to play in the following structure:
QUALIFIERS: 11 Qualifying Games will be played, consisting of 17 players each. i.e. every representative plays in one Qualifying Game. The players themselves vote post-game to determine who is deserving of advancement. 1st place will advance directly to the Finale Game (i.e. 11 of the 17 finalists are found this way), while the 2nd place finishers will advance directly to one of the two Wildcard Games.
WILDCARDS: A Jury consisting of finalists from Season 5 will discuss and vote to determine 23 players in total deserving of a second chance. They will play in 2 Wildcard Games along with the aforementioned 2nd place finishers that advanced directly to these games. From each game, three 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 6 Champion and a winner’s certificate signed by Dmitry Davidoff, the creator of mafia.
This means any representative could play anywhere between 1 to 3 games.

THE SETUP (more details on Mafia Universe)
SETUP MECHANICS
Role reveals at death are alignment only. You will not learn a player's exact role when they die.
Usage of night actions is optional, but unused actions will be lost.
Majority is not in effect.
Town wins when all threats to Town have been eliminated.
Mafia factions win when they achieve Parity and all other evil factions have been eliminated at any time.
Votes are automatically locked in at LYLO.
No Lynching is enabled. Vote for No Lynch to forgo a lynch that Day.
Mafia factional kills are optional. Mafia may submit a factional kill each night, but are not required to. However, starting night 5, the factional kill will be mandatory.
Mafia factional kills are assigned. They can be tracked, watched, or roleblocked.
Mafia share a factional Night Kill, which is a single standard shot for their faction.
Mafia members may perform the faction kill in addition to their regular action at the same time.
Mafia may communicate at any time.
Tied votes will result in a player being lynched at random from among the tied players.
Finally, there is a post restriction of 200 posts per game day. This restriction will be lifted 2 hours before EOD (day end). This restriction means if you hit 200 posts six hours into a game with 36/12 phases, for example, you will have to wait 28 hours before being able to post again.
SEASON 5 TIMELINE
"There will be 11 Qualifying Games, and your representative plays in just one of these. They will have start dates during the months of May and 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.
Wildcard games will be played in July, and the Finale Game sometime in August or September (whenever we can work out something that suits everyone)."
Current Nominees Spoiler:If your name is in this list and you don't want to play, PM me or just post in the thread.
RNG is never good for any strategy based game. Please learn the definition of what that means, especially if you're one of the people constantly defending it.
