Gnawazan is known as Gnaw on the Malazan Empire forum. While I could tell you a great many things about Gnaw, I would have to admit that most of them would be either deliberately false (this is a competition, after all) or claims made in ignorance (we do play on a forum, after all).
Instead, it is the Fener avatar/alt I want to talk you about.
You see, Fener is our most jinxed alt, and all of us groan inwardly when we see it popping up in our mailboxes as our designated alt. This is for a multitude of reasons.
The first reason is that you'll have to weather a storm of good natured abuse. You see, unlike most of the forum's early game alts, which are Dragons, Fener is a boar. A boar god, but still: a boar. This made his avatar an obvious odd one out from the usual alts and opens the door for a host of extremely obvious pig & swine jokes.
And if that's not enough, it is also the alt that is traditionally lynched when there's no obvious choice to run a train on.
Invariably, Fener comes up as town. Invariably, the game mod knows that there's a 59.1% chance of Fener being lynched day 1, and refuses to add an important role to the alt.
As a result, Fener is the alt that gets in the way of an exciting game.
With regards of the Mafia Championship, the choice for the Fener avatar ought to be seen as an acceptance of impending doom and a perfect (if slightly fatalistic) banner to represent Malazan Mafia with. Also Gnaw is a bit of a pig.

Bio:
My first mafia game ever was a live game in 2004. I then went 8 years before I started playing forum mafia games at DraftCountdown.com. My first game, I broke the rules about quoting my PM. Hey, I didn't know what I was doing and I didn't want to be lynched. Since then, I've gotten better. I've played over 50 games with varying themes and set ups. I've even moderated two large games (The O.C and American Revolution themes) as well as a few mini-mafia games.
I have a bit of an off the wall style. I love to throw things out there, get people talking, and try to get people to take stands. My biggest pet peeve is watching people avoid suspicion by laying low while the vocal players fight each other.
A little about me. I'm 28, married, with two dogs and two cats. I like Chicago sports (UNF and UCF for college sports), food, professional wrestling, and reading.

I'm Kami and I started playing fast paced mafias solely on Hallyu8 around 3 years ago.
I enjoy swimming and listening to Jpop in my free time. I also enjoy watching anime and movies. I'm kind of young but mature for my age...
I come from Onehallyu which is the second opening of Hallyu8, we have games every weekend and we all know each other, so I'm looking forward to playing against new people.

Bio:
I have been playing mafia for about a year and have played about seventy games. I tend to work with gut and tone, but I can work with logic. I like being scum and town about equally these days now that I manage to roll scum more than once in a blue moon, and I have never been able to roll investigative roles for the life of me. Sometimes I say too much, for better or for worse... not in the way that makes a thread hard to keep up with, though.

Hello, I am a frivolous person!!!
I've been playing TWG for a bit more than 6 years now. I started out on LLF and later ventured out to other communities; NSM and FFR in particular. I'm generally reserved in my playstyle, tending to make bigger posts than most people, though I've grown accustomed to the rapid posting style familiar to most no out-of-thread-talk forums.
I often try to balance out the probability of a Wolf performing an action with that of a Human (not quantitatively though, I'm not that intense!) when searching for Wolves. For this reason, I never feel 100% certain in my opinions, though I may feign so in order to push for something or instigate a particular response from Players.
The Werewolf Game >> Mafia btw
Uhh, my favorite Role is the Fool. I dislike playing as Special Roles, preferring to play as a normal Human and having less to worry about so that I can focus more on finding Wolves. Speaking of which, I find Wolf Roles to be fun and invigorating.
when im sarcastic i dont use any punctuation or caps and ill probably be typing like this at some point in the game
idk how to write a bio but i guess i should study now since i have an exam tomorrow lol
Harasho!!!

Hello! I’m Lemon. I’m here because I was voted BoardGameGeek’s 2014 Player of the Year. Learned to play Werewolf a couple years ago there, and became quickly immersed in the game and the community. I value the teamwork aspect of it all; I like to start by finding some reads I can trust and work with them. I analyze voting behavior and often pick up tone-based reads fairly well. I'm known to encourage the village to be open to new directions when it feels like we're going down the wrong path, even if it's a last minute change.
