OT: The organizers for the annual Mafia World Tournament have reached out to be asking if EB will be sending a rep this year. I won't have the time to participate this year. Is anyone interested and able to play?
I'm not interested but what is the scope of the tournament? Is it online or in person? And how many people/who is involved?

It's online. There's a site called Mafia Universe or something like that. It's dedicated to playing mafia.
They have a tournament where they invite people from other sites that have mafia (or warewolf) games. Someone showed up here and invited us to send a representative a couple years ago.

We nominated @RBHeadge PE . There was also a discord server for people to spectate. A few of us joined the discord (myself included), but I didn't have time to really keep up.

Obviously @RBHeadge PE could go into detail about the experience much better than I can. But the short version, he had to quit the game after only a few days. They are HARDCORE. There were like thousands of messages per day (whereas here we might have a couple dozen messages in a day). It's a full time job to keep up with the game. And keeping up is a requirement, no ghosting allowed. Also there were a lot of players who played very aggressively. It wasn't a friendly environment (like we TRY to have).

If I recall correctly the tournament was a series of games. It was maybe hundreds of players broken up into a series of 15 player games. Winners moved on to future rounds and losers got eliminated. I don't remember the specific mechanics (e.g. single elimination, round robin, some kind of scoring system, etc).

It was basically way to hardcore for any of us at the time, but if someone really wants to commit, it would be cool to see EB represented.

@RBHeadge PE please correct anything I got wrong.

Welcome to another DLD round of Mafia with 14 players.

There are town members and mafia. Townies must try to find and eliminate the mafia with extreme prejudice before they are eliminated. The game ends when either all of the Mafia is eliminated (town wins), or there are fewer townsfolk than Mafia members (Mafia wins).

The game will start Tuesday, April 19, 2022. Lynching will be allowed on the first day. Mafia can lynch the first night.

The Mafia members are going to privately tell me who they would like to eliminate during the night. I will reveal to everyone what happened the next morning with some mediocre storytelling. There is a very high possibility that the lynching and night kill will be combined into one story blurb the following day, depending on my schedule.

During the day, everybody (townsfolk and Mafia) will publicly vote for a person to eliminate; I will eliminate the person with the most votes at the end of the day and reveal what their role was. If the narrative is being posted the next morning, I will reveal the lynched person's role before the night kill.

In the event the game extends to the weekend, the game will be in extended night phase starting Friday night and resuming the Monday morning.

In addition to regular townsfolk and members of the Mafia, there is also a Doctor and a Cop. The Doctor can choose someone to “save” during the night; if they choose the same person the Mafia chose, then that player will escape elimination by the Mafia that night. The Cop can “investigate” one player each day.

The Mafia members know who each other are, but no one knows anyone else’s role except me. I will send more specific instructions to the members of the Mafia, the Doctor, and the Cop. If you do not receive a PM from me, then you are a regular townsfolk/townie.

BY POPULAR DEMAND, THE CASSANDRA IS IN PLAY AGAIN! The Cassandra player does not know they have this role until a trigger occurs in the game and/or thread. A trigger could be reaching a certain page number or by player actions in the thread (like ghost votes, triple posts, etc.). The trigger is picked before the game begins. The Cassandra can be either mafia or townie alignment and once triggered, they will receive a special PM that explains their new role.

The Cassandra is similar to the investigator, where they will find out information about a player (i.e., what their role is), but they do not have a choice on who the information is about. The information will come to them as a vision (overnight PM) every night until end of game and/or they are killed. Unlike the investigators, the Cassandra MUST share their information with the thread. If they do not reveal their information, they will automatically be lynched that evening by the townies whether they are voted for or not. This will override all voting blocks.

To vote on a person to eliminate, mention me @DLD PE and tell me specifically that 1) you are voting and 2) the username of the person you are voting to eliminate.

Example: @DLD PE I vote for @JayKay PE because they made fun of my business cards.

Please submit your votes in this thread by 9:00 PM EST/8:00 PM Central/7:00 PM Mountain/6:00 PM Pacific Time/Whatever Roar and Bly-time.

A couple of rules:

1) You may use this thread to vote and post about the game
2) Anyone who is an active participant in the game can use this thread to speculate, discuss, accuse, or otherwise participate in the game; just please make sure to follow regular EB forum guidelines.
3) Your vote only counts if you are playing and not yet eliminated.
4) If there is a tie for most votes, I will either ask for 10 rounds of RPS or use a randomizer in a best of 3 round.
5) EB PMing is not allowed this round. This eliminates the 'if you miss 2 days in a row, it's a vote for yourself' rule. I assume if you are unable to PM you must participate in some manner if you are a townie to prevent being killed.
6) All votes via PM will not count unless they are specifically for Mafia/Doc/Cop actions.
7) Votes submitted after the deadline will count towards the following day.
8) You are not allowed to reveal your role, privately or publicly, after you have been eliminated. You may not post screengrabs of private messages in this thread.
9) Please keep all trash talk in the thread and don’t take things too seriously!

Roles will be sent out shortly.

For reference, the players this round are:

@BlueBlueprintPE , @ChebyshevII PE PMP , @MeowMeow PE , @txjennah PE , @RBHeadge PE , @jean15paul_PE , @blybrook PE , @Dothracki PE , @squaretaper LIT AF PE , @JayKay PE , @beccabun PE , @djl PE , @Spitfire6532 , @EyehatethePEexam PE

I will send out roles about three hours from now. I did not get a confirmation from @Roarbark and I want to give him a chance to play in case he wants to play this round. Once I hear from him, I'll lock roles and send them out.
 
I haven't sent roles out, so you don't know yet if you're a townie or not.
Oh! I thought roles were sent out when the main mod post was posted. Okay. Still haven't received anything and have a 15-min break. Gonna start trash talking. Like @Unintended Max P.E. is def maf.
 
Ok let the trash talking begin! (Except for @JayKay PE , @Dothracki PE and @beccabun PE , who apparently have already started lol)

Roles have been sent out. If you did not receive a PM from me, that means you are a regular townie.

For reference, the players this round are:

@BlueBlueprintPE , @ChebyshevII PE PMP , @MeowMeow PE , @txjennah PE , @RBHeadge PE , @jean15paul_PE , @blybrook PE , @Dothracki PE , @squaretaper LIT AF PE , @JayKay PE , @beccabun PE , @djl PE , @Spitfire6532 , @EyehatethePEexam PE

Voting will begin immediately and the first lynch will be tonight. Good luck everyone!
