Figured this would be a sensible thread to mention this. I'm running a little project to make sure we don't have another lull in games like what's cropped up the last few years. Every month I'm running a Barebones game. This is to make it easier to setup consistently, make sure everyone's on equal footing in not having to look up a theme, and to let people get experience/work off rust in playing the game in it's purest form, for lack of a less pretentious description. :p

 

Currently they are fairly small games and I'm aiming to open up sign-ups the first day of every month. With that in mind sign-ups for the second game of this project opened up a few days ago, but sign-ups have come in slow. If you're interested, there's a link here!

<p>I would like at this time to publicly declare my intentions to run a mafia game again on the GDS forums.</p><p> </p><p>

This game would follow the current game that is being modded by Astil here in the Dog Pound.</p><p> </p><p>

As many of the players that actively participate in the continuous games that have returned to GDS know, I have not been as active on this board as I am normally. There is a good reason for this. I have been working towards the growth of mafia/werewolf, not just here at GDS. Since the games returned in November they have ran continuously and that is a good thing. I hope that GDS once again returns to the thriving mafia community that it once was.

 

We are getting there! But what we have done with the reemergence of the games here is catch the attention of others on the net. There is a massive amount of communities that play some form of mafia or werewolf throughout the net. These communities are based all over the world. Several years ago, a competition was started to bring all those communities that play this game or some form of it together. And on that note, I am happy to announce that we have received an invitation to send a representative this season. The following is the invitation which explains the entire process.

 

 

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E9x7nJkSPmv1ZtSKFdSmLsvD4DQoX13i2MA9VG5p4W4/edit

 

The Mafia Council has been discussing the invitation and the proper way to go about choosing a representative to send to the competition. We have decided to post a thread in the Dog Pound and open up nominations from those that regularly play mafia on this site.

 

The following process will be used.

>Players may be nominated to be on the ballot. In order to make the ballot a player must be seconded by another player.

>Each player is allowed one action. You may nominate a player or second one. This process will take place in the thread and will go one for a period of 5 days. At the end of the nomination period, those receiving both nominations and seconds will be voted on, with the one receiving the most votes being our representative and the player finishing second the named backup.

 

At the end of this process, the representative's name and information will be sent in to the event. There are somethings to keep in mind.

>You must be active. Very active. Last years Championship rounds saw an average of 90.3 posts per player per phase.

>They do not play like the norm is on GDS.

-There will be someone lynched each phase.

-No lynch is a strategy only used in late game, specific situations.

-Claiming will not save you. The roles are randomized.

Just wanted to let people know that we currently have two sign-ups going on at the moment. One designed for new players and one more of our old narrative style.

 

I won't post the links here, but you can all the information you need if you go to the Discord outlaw posted above. Alternatively, if you shoot me a pm I can send you the link.

So, how's it going at MU? ;)

 

In fairness to the GDS mafia community. The game at the other place featured a supposed "good player" trying to enlist the help of a Mafia member and the SK to mislynch the town Cop, resulting in that "good player" having to out themselves as bullet proof D1 thereby negating the utility of the role. Once that moron was replaced the new chump didnt comprehend the reason that they were left alive for final three was that their biggest Scum read was town.

 

DUH

 

Anyway was nice to follow along, sorry I couldnt play in time, now it looks like GDS is done there and the discord is closed too? Ah well. GGs all.

We have moved the discord stuff over to the main GDS discord. Things seem to have slowed down at the moment but hopefully Darr wil be feeling better and ready to run her game soon. You should sign up!

 

Whats the link to the main discord?

 

And I posted my review just to let GDS peeps know that while there are good players at MU, there are some terrible ones as well and really there is no reason to give the opinions of those folks any credence whatsoever.

I'm not sure if I am allowed to post the link here you might want to ask MHero if it is fine. Don't let the other players there bother you, you should come back and play with us!

 

In other mafia related news, I will be representing GDS in the Mafia Championships next week if you are interested in cheering me on from the sidelines. Who would have thought I would be representing GDS at the Mafia Championships fifteen years ago when I started playing?

No need to worry about the link then.

I'm banned from MU for a few more months because I made fun of an anime avatar. (its that kind of place and attracts those kinds of people).

 

That said, if you are serious about doing well, I know that the judges tend to like town players that get nightkilled early, as it shows that scum perceived you as a threat. So, if you are town the game may favor you as I think the set up this year is supposedly town sided. If you rand scum then, hey, stay out of the POE. Good luck. :cool:

Thank you mate let's see what the luck of the draw gives me. Honestly I don't know how to find the discord link, just PM MHero and he will give it to you. It's not a big secret. I didn't know you played on MU outside of the GDS sub-forum. How was it?

So Don Destiny, did you do us proud?
