Choose POG's Rep for WW Championship

We'll do this in a simple manner.

One vote per person.

Go!

1st place is our rep, 2nd place is our backup.

Montecore

Vote via poll, please

You can't really go wrong with any of those choices, though some would be more entertaining than others.

Pretty sure he's just trying to lynch him.

I'm on mobile and don't see a poll so I bolded

single transferable vote, man, wtf with the first past the post?

what's the deadline?

several fine candidates

Not an easy choice. I think xkf and kaze are also good choices and this kind of format fits well for cdl. Do not know bop really.

Easiest thread to figure out who the wolves are since Freighters.

mmmbop
bop da doo
doo wop

This poll will close on 04-16-2017 at 07:27 PM.

Boiler up!

batm buys my vote for being the only person to nominate me

The thought of torturing monte with a champs game intrigues me, but the thought of unleashing redd on them may be too much to pass up...

Is the "representing the community" really a thing people consider when voting or does it not really matter?

Depends how you mean.

People factor different things into their vote.

If you mean whether the person is representative of the community wrt personality and temperament, then no, I don't think that's a priority for most people. People either vote the people they think are the best, that they like and/or the people that they'd find enjoyment in seeing in this kind of tournament.

This is 100% a "vote for people who are going to kick ass and take names" so that POG brings home the gold is so rightfully deserves.

bopolis is our rep

Montecore is the backup

ty for voting everyone

gl peeps

Update on The Werewolf Championship

Exciting news: We are expanding to 150 participating communities, which is more than last season. In fact, we may even go for 165 communities depending on how some invitations go.

On that note, if you know of a community that might be interested in participating and isn't on the list in the linked post, let me know and I'll be happy to give them an invitation: http://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/...=1#post1070949

Since none of the representatives chosen at this point have indicated that they can only play if their game starts April 24, I have made the decision that the qualifying phase won't begin until May 1st in order to allow me more time to get everything properly organized and to get all representatives properly prepared. This will have no impact on the overall schedule for this season; the qualifying phase will still be wrapped up by early July, after which we dive into the wildcard games followed by the finale game.

As for how to spectate your representative, I'll get back to you with more info on that, but cliffs: Your community may of course create your own private spectator chat (that your rep can't access), but the general spectator chat (where all communities gather and chat together) will be on Discord this year. If you want an invite to the server already now, just write me.

UPDATE ON CHAMPIONSHIP

Originally, the plan was for this season to feature 135 communities. We will now have 165 participating communities, which means that this season alone we will have more different communities represented than all other seasons combined. Approximately 60 communities are participating for the very first time. Of the returning communities, about a dozen of them are resending a previous representative, while the rest are all sending fresh faces.

As a result of how big this season has gotten, we'll have more games to look forward to than ever before. We will have 11 qualifying games, 2 wildcard games and 1 finale game = 14 games in total.

All kinds of communities are partipating. Besides the sites dedicated specifically to mafia, we have forums dedicated to popular entertainment, sports, poker, board games, online games, video games, role playing, LEGO, personality type testing, stick figure animations, science, atheism, music, mathematics, comics, students, etc. Some of these communities started playing mafia more than a decade ago; Others just started this year.

Despite this being a forum event, we will also have communities that play the game via various chat clients (Discord, Telegram, IRC, custom, etc.) and via webcam (with games often streamed on Twitch.tv). And not least, there are communities centered around mafia game variants that you can buy on Steam (Town of Salem and Throne of Lies).

This season will also have the biggest international scope yet. For the very first time we will have representatives from Romania, Hungary, Chile, Portugal, Ukraine and Czechia as well as our first person representing a Japanese community. We even have our first Native American.

In addition to this, we of course welcome back countries such as USA, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Italy, Indonesia, South Africa and Ireland, meaning that we'll have more than 20 different countries represented in total.

_________________________

Next update: I am hoping very much I will have all the info I need from all of the representatives by Wednesday at the latest next week. Assuming I do, I will schedule all the qualifying games on this day and get back to you with our representative's start date.

Do you wish to spectate and/or talk with players from other communities?
We have a big chat on Discord (300+ members) for those that want to spectate and talk about these games. The representatives will be added to this channel too after they die. Or if you just want to chat with people from other communities, we have a general chat too that is unrelated to the Mafia Championship.

1) CLICK HERE TO JOIN: https://discord.gg/zdeEhcg
2) Tag one of the red or blue people in the chat (write [MENTION=8963]Thingyman[/MENTION] or @staff for example), let them know who you are and from what community, and they'll give you the necessary permissions to see the spectator channel. This is necessary to avoid the wrong people (the representatives and their backups) joining the channel.

You don't need to have Discord installed in order to join the channel, as there is a web version.

Where do I get more info?
Refer to this thread: http://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums/...Time-Is-Now%21

This thread will tell you all the details about this season. It also includes the list of participating communities and their representatives.

Nice, rooting for DLGN/Bop/SIU to all do well hopefully.
