I could even throw up an exhibition game featuring a list of MTGS peoples who want to play, so you wouldn't be completely lacking in meta knowledge on folks. Helps folks get used to a quicker pace game if it's really outside of their comfort zone, without it being a wholly unfamiliar experience. Let me know, there's talk of folks from my home site (not MU) doing an exhibition game featuring a lot of our old stalwarts. But the idea is a little silly if it's only featuring the totalwar.org / civilization fanatics center crew, since we already play with each other on our home sites.
The point would be to play with new peoples, while also showcasing our own talents.
Ultimately the entire point of MafiaUniverse is to bring the greater mafia playing community together. It need not mean only a sole representative from each site once a year. It could mean a dozen players from a site mingling with others from the great elsewhere. There's not exactly a big line forming in Standard Games, a new game is always right around the corner if people want to play one.

Ok, so people who have confirmed interest so far are:
Iso
Megs
Proph
GJ
Myself
We had a lot of other nominations, but we need those people to actually post here to confirm their interest in going. We're short on time here, so if there's people that you would support, say so now. If there is someone you nominated who you feel should go who hasn't chimed in, prodding them with a PM might help. Feel free to designate 1st and 2nd picks/alternates. I don't think we have enough time for a formal poll, so it will be more of a survey of the opinions expressed here in the thread. If there's clear front-runners for 1st pick and alternate(s), great. If it's a close contest, we can have the disinterested members of the council designate the picks.
I'd be interested in playing, I tend to prefer faster paced mafia and have some experience with it, although I'm sure all of the other nominees have been here far longer and likely deserve the place. I certainly think you and Iso are players who would be great at either scum/town in an unusual environment.

Ambush Krotiq makes me laugh so much. I keep rereading the card and it keeps not having Flash. In what sense is this an ambush again? I just have visions of this huge Krotiq poorly concealed in some bushes, feeling slightly sad that his carefully planned ambushes never seem to work.
Az or GJ are totally fine, I could possibly do it myself if we need it. I'd just get a name in now, and switch it if we need to, rather than risk missing the deadline.

Thankfully this game is an open setup so I won't have the option of claiming Town Delayed Watcher Loud Bulletproof as mafia. Should be a real boon to my game.
@Azrael I'm excited to roll into a game with you! I read the Invitational and came away pretty impressed with your play.

Ooph. That game was ridiculously tough, and I got way too distracted defending myself against Cyan. Looking forward to having at least one familiar face.
Thanks for the well wishes. I've got a few appointments and a trial set around that date, but I should be able to make it work.

I think Az and Newcomb/NotVoxxicus played a reasonably good game, just there were an awful lot of town who did nothing to let themselves get town read.
By the end PoE was almost accurate, just one last (understandable) mislynch happened.
In other news, I'm not sure I can ever go back to playing mafia without all the ISO button tools, the sexy automated vote counts, bookmarks might have been fun if I used them from the start...those were incredibly convenient. Totally spoiled now.
I would like you guys to come play with us more. i've been busy and/or have had bad internets, but I'm going to organize some community-building meet-n-greet exhibition-style games.
The idea is to have games which feature lots of prominent players from just two communities. Say, MTGS, and another one. And we try to fill the game with just an equal amount of players from each community.
My idea would be to pair MTGS with the Civilization Fanatics and Totalwar.org crews. (Civ and Totalwar are basically my two home sites, and they play on each other's sites all the time. All the time. Basically one website at this point.)
Then we'd pair up some other communities, like the Giraffe/Straight Dope/Idle player group (basically one player base) with some folks from another community. And so on.
And the games would largely fit the setups / phase lengths you'd be more accustomed to. Well, as much as possible, anyway.
If you guys would be okay playing a game with like 3 day long day phases and 1 day long night phases, it would be much easier to pair up your community with another. Since it is so unusual to have the phase lengths you do.
Suggestions on setup would be welcome. Would anyone be interested? I could even get someone else to organize this particular match-up so I can play in it personally. What do you think?
I think it would be a great way to start pooling together people who are interested in playing on the multi-community site that is MafiaUniverse, while allowing for games which feature players you're more familiar with, and people who know and are familiar with the players who you are not familiar with.
Kind of like... a couple of formerly rival clans intermarrying and becoming one tribe. Except with fake murders.
Then, later on, you'll sign up for games on MU and there will be people there you've played with before. Who aren't MTGS people. Could be neat. Or, you can start playing games with an all or mostly MTGS crew on Mafia Universe and have invite-only games, if you want. I mean, you don't necessarily have to lose your identities and board culture over there, if you organize and host your own games and invite the people from your home board.
For the community-building exhibition games, I am looking for people who are okay with cultural differences and would be willing to act as diplomatically as possible toward the folks from another board culture. It's community-building as opposed to bashing and we want to keep the general tone of the game friendly, ofc.
I'd need like 5-8 players to be interested. Especially if they're folks from the FF game I was in, but I'll take whoever can commit to the other site and phase length and activity requirements.

Discussion was had about possibly streamlining some roles to make it more ambiguous, but I don't think anyone expected scum to win 6+ out of 8 at the start.
That intersite mafia game sounds nice, but I don't think I can commit to such an fast-paced game right now due to my work. I'm kinda like Rhand, I have a week off and then I have an intensive 12h+ shifts for a week.
(I would love to spectate, though, so keep me updated.)

I think that'd be fantastic. We've run some cross-site mixers previously, with mafiascum, which were fun and well-received. We'd planned to follow up with some games that would allow a wider section of our playerbase to participate, but it seemed like the 'scum folks were less interested in organizing that, than the invitional format.
Hell, I'd be a fan of simply running some/all our site's games on MU simply for the sake of hijacking your glorious interface. I wouldn't care to lose our playerbase's distinctiveness and culture, but perhaps we could work something out where our MTGS players form the kernel of a longer-phase game culture on MU, and attract like-minded players into the fold. Worth considering.
I'd be down for some cross community action. I've already joined another mafia site due to the championships with 24/48 hour Day phases and having a blast there.
I'd be down for cross-site stuff (MU is miraculously not blocked at work), and I'd be up for trying compromise games with, say, week long deadlines, which would be fast paced (for us), but not as totally crazy as 72-hour days.

I am from totalwar.Org, so as I like to say....
We are the .Org. Your culture will adapt to service us. You will be assimilated, resistance is futile. Join us, and we will bring you closer to perfection. Your species will continue, as part of us, and spread throughout the MafiaUniverse.

I think you'd enjoy being paired up with the ultra-long phases (from our perspective) of Giraffe boards players, where they have week long day phases.
It would be rare, I think, to find many communities with players willing to go up to phases longer than this. But I'd certainly try!
Hi, I'm probably too new around here to be considered a MTGS native, but I'm always down for playing WH setups. People who are real natives should probably get first pick, but I'd definitely help make it fire.
And 72/36 phases are fine, but I think 5/2 phases would probably be better, with deadline happening at the same time every week unless a hammer ends the day super early.

36 hour phases are going to be brutal for me. Work + sleep means I'll miss at least half of every Day during the week. So it goes!
It was cool seeing the MTGS QT; it's awesome that so many people are following along.
Az, I voted you #1 to advance in our game. Regardless of read accuracy in that particular game, I thought you were in a class by yourself when it came to the "who would you want on your team in a hypothetical game" metric. 10/10, would love to roll village with again.
