SEASON 2: MAFIA CHAMPIONS

The time has finally come for season 2 of the Internet Mafia Championships.

Season 1 began in 2013 and concluded in 2014 with an epic showdown that resulted in our very own DWetzel being crowned the ultimate mafia/werewolf player on the entire interwebz out of more than 100 different elite players selected by almost 50 different communities. And the second place winner was The Moocher, so POG has a lot to be proud about.

This, of course, means that there's a lot to live up to and so now we need to choose the right person to represent us for season 2.

In short: We need to decide on 1 representative. If I can't find enough communities that want to participate, then a second or third representative may be called in to represent as well in separate qualifying games (meaning that no matter what there won't be two POG reps in the same game). But for now the plan is to go for only 1 representative per community for the entire season.

How it will work

You will send me a ranked top 5 list of who you think should represent 2+2. I will tally the scores by giving 6 points to number 1 on the list, 5 points to number 2 on the list, 4 points to number 3 etc. This is all completely anonymous and I will only be revealing the winner.

You cannot vote for people who participated in season 1's finale game*.

You should feel free to discuss in this thread. However, out-of-thread communication is NOT ALLOWED. That means no lobbying. I reserve the right to disqualify people if this should take place.

Deadline for submitting your votes is 8 PM EST, March 25th.

* This includes: jcohen, monstrman, corycurren, Top Tier Tom, Thingyman, Luckbox Inc, The Moocher, DWetzel, Gamer Dude, well named, lenC, tappokone, traz (I've included people that qualified for the finale as non-poggers, but they would now qualify as poggers by most people's standards).

Information on the game

The game setup will be: 13'er vanilla slow game with n0 randed villager peek.

For now, you shouldn't worry about when the game will start since there should be 5+ qualifying games over the next 2-4 months or so. I will make a Doodle to check on people's availability and from that I will decide when people are playing. So basically, the chosen representative just needs to be able to fit the game into his schedule sometime during the next 4 months.

Also, if people from other communities / who know of communities that weren't represented in season 1 are reading this:

Please PM me or let me know and I will make sure to include you guys. I've already gotten PM's from a few people, which is very appreciated.

Thingy, can you give us a list of 2+2ers that have already taken part in the series and are therefore ineligible this time around?

Also, have you uploaded the last 2 champs games to the wwdatabase yet?

I am in full support of a thediceman nomination. I think he has proven himself to be a WORTHY CHAMPION time and time again. Always gives it his all, through thick and thin.

Only rarely has bad games, has pretty good games quite often, and has very good games much more than bad games.

I stand behind any and all votes for thediceman, and will personally guarantee he represents us proudly.

Please vote thediceman number 1!

Not nominating Redd here would be a travesty

Only the people who participated in the FINALE are ineligible. But if the community should on their own accord decide that they also don't want to send someone who participated in any of the qualifying games, then that's of course up to them :P

To get some discussion started I'd personally like to nominate soah and JimHalpert.

soah was superb in his qualifying game and qualified for the finale, but he unfortunately couldn't play... I'd like to give him another shot at crushing souls.

JimHalpert probably doesn't want to play, but if he wanted to he'd be awesome.

Hoya and Chips would obv be great reps too

And several other people, but for now I'll throw out those names

insanity would be good too

he had to sub in in a bad spot in season 1 (during must lynch I think even?) and did well under the circumstances, so it'd also be cool to give him a fresh and fair shot at #glory

Just to be clear

In-thread votes don't count. And also, you don't HAVE to send in a ranked top 5 if you only want to nominate 3 people, for example.

soah is terrified to play mashes, and has an off-putting, humorless personality

he is the bottom of the barrel for what POG has to offer and does not represent the players here

Jimmy is great, but he has given up the werewolfing gig I think

One wonders if domer has the capacity to recognize the irony of him calling other people off-putting and humorless.
