This is the official sign-up thread for the Season One of the MTGS Mafia League. Sign-ups will close 2 weeks from now.
The Mafia League is a series of six mafia games for League players. To join the League you must commit to playing three of the six offered games. You can play more (and there are incentives for playing more), but three is the minimum. If you play more than the required amount, the new score (if better) will replace your lowest scoring game.
League signups will be rolling. People will be accepted to the League as long as the first four games of the League are going, but it will be closed during the fifth and sixth League games. Players must commit to playing three out of the six offered games in order to stay in the League. People who sign up but cannot play in three out of six League games will be dropped.
During the game a group of judges will be paying attention to your play. After the game is over, scores based on the included rubric will be given out. Only the maximum score is listed. Scores will be determined on a per player basis. It is entirely possible for a person with an awesome Day 1 who gets nightkilled that Night could get a higher score than a player with poor performance who lives to the end of the game. We realize that since roles are randomized and play is subjective, there is no concrete and objective way to outright judge performance. So, in the spirit of this, we will only be tabulating your three highest scores to determine your ending League score. This is the reward for playing more games.
In addition, when you sign up for the League, you will receive two Review Points. At the end of a League Game, you have the option of using a Review Point and get an in-depth review. If you do not wish to use your Review Point or have ran out, you don't get a review. There is a deadline of two weeks to indicate that you would like to get a review. Any player who uses the point before the deadline will get a review.
League games will follow the commonly accepted rules of Mafia. If you show unsportsmanlike conduct, replace out in two League games, or are modkilled in two League games for rules violations, the judges have the right to disqualify you from future League games. This is a friendly competition for bragging rights and a trophy next to your screenname (once Curse implements this again); this is not an ugly bar-room brawl for the brass ring. Please play as such.
Not interested in League play? There are other opportunities to participate. We are currently looking for hosts, setups, and judges.
If you are just looking for a good game with good players, non-League participants will be allowed in League games! If you find after a League game that you wish to join the League, judges are willing to retroactively judge your performance in the previous League games you participated in if you spend a review point.
If you're interested in submitting a League setup for review, PM any of the listed judges or the bookkeeper. Make sure you get a response to acknowledge it was received.
Replacements into a League game get a small bonus to their score to catch them up to other players and a little extra as a token of appreciation.
If you are interested in playing in the League, please post here. If you have reservations, questions, comments, or concerns please post those here as well.
Thank you for your participation and support!

I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.
KoolKoal: Feel free to take this with a grain of salt since self meta isn't particularly helpful, but I think I get scumread mostly for style over substance, but also for a certain lack of substance over style. It's not so much what I AM posting most of the time (though sometimes that can seem bad) but what I'm NOT posting. I've been told I come to non-obvious conclusions a lot, so when I post, quite a bit of the time there's jumps in logic that people can't follow and they think that's scummy. I get that accusation about a lot of questions I ask specifically. People call them "busy work" when the questions are legit etc.
As far as things to ignore, I can't think of anything. I would suggest you focus less on what I'm doing and more on how I'm doing it. That's probably more likely to be accurate. Like I've just said, what I do tends to come off a little weird, but if you look for how I do it, mindset comes into play and maybe you figure out something useful.
Please note: signups for the first League game, Archer Mafia, will stay open until tonight. There are still 4 spots for League players to join. The thread has been moved to old signups I guess because I posted the pregame.
Also /in for the league if not too late. I won't be able to /in any games for probably 6ish weeks, though, really busy IRL with moving into my very own first house soon.
