Sure, you can argue that your play would have been the same as either alignment, but when you're mafia, not posting much with a strong town that worked hard to find each other (mostly, albeit partially with bullets) means that you'll end up in the PoE due to actions of others!!!
Depends; while I don't think the expectation is to always highpost, generally some level of engagement/interaction with the game can help where there's plenty of middle ground between strictly min-posting and top posting!!!
There are plenty of ways to not post much but also be at least somewhat engaged in the game without being elite/dedicated, in short!!
Congrats town!!!!
Setup was quite townsided regardless though, was very rough on mafia, but town also played pretty well regardless!!
Night 3 Results
Everyone except Michelle died, making this a town win!!!
Actions should be sent to me by 7:45pm EDT on August 14th!
That being said, if the majority (3+) of the remaining players vote to have SoD be at 8pm EDT tonight on August 13th, and both the last mafia and the last vig are included in that vote, then the night will be shortened!!
PM me if you want night to be shortened!!!
Modkill~u~ was Town Paranoid Gun Owner!
Please don't try to weaponize modkills in terms of the no claiming rule, and also softing/referencing your own role (even as a PGO) is still not allowed!

Were there any questions in this AMA you were expecting, but did not yet?
Semifinal 2 randed, sorry for the delay! Can view here: https://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums...a-Championship
Happens, is unfortunate and your slot did live until endgame; just need to do the full time calculations before the game starts next time!!
I believe my statement of an anticlimactic end still stands, rather unfortunate that the game ended on a rand!! Congrats mafia regardless!!!!! Might write something about the white flag setup in particular later!!
Massive thanks to Garden Gnome for the very hype flavour!!!
DISCLAIMER ALERT
The beauty of the Mafia Championship is that it brings communities closer together, and it provides an opportunity for players to learn new playstyles, metas and mechanics. And hopefully make new friends as well.
All that being said, the games can also very quickly become overwhelming and frustrating since you probably won't be able to play completely in the same way that you're used to. You don't necessarily need to adapt, but you will probably need to accept that some of the other players will have a different approach to the game than you.
We hope that you will embrace this as part of the experience. It's easy to grow frustrated with people when you don't know them (imagine how you would have felt playing with your friends on your home site if you didn't know any of them when you played your first game together), so a huge part of playing in the Championship is also getting to know the other players in some way.
Specifically, the seasons have taught us that you should be prepared for:
- A very high level of activity. On average, there will be 600-700 posts per 24 hours during the early stages of the game in qualifier games, and likely more in semifinal/finale games. This is a melting pot of dedicated and enthusiastic players all gathered in one game.
- You will likely face very different posting styles: Some will post walls of texts with many quotes, some will post a ton of one-liners, and some people will be very keen to interact in real-time in the thread (using the thread as a chat rather than a thread you pop into a few times a day).
- A flurry of activity towards the end of the day. This means that if you check out 5 hours before the day ends, you should not be surprised to return the next day to see that the wagons were changed multiple times. If you want your vote to count, be careful to not agree to a game where you can never be around for EOD.
- A few players in your game will probably have played with each other before. This has become impossible to prevent as increasingly many players have played on Mafia Universe.
- We do not condone abusive remarks and we have banned several communities from participating based on this before, but each season features dozens of new communities, so there is always a slight risk that you might encounter abusive players. If you do, please report them and we'll take care of it.
Past seasons have shown that players get more enjoyment out of the games when they make connections with the other players, so we highly encourage you to join our Discord server either before or after the game.
Finally, we encourage you to at least skim some of the season 8 games to get a sense of how the games usually play out: https://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums...mmunity-Events

Are you not familiar with some of the terminology used by the other players? Maybe this will help you: TERMINOLOGY EXPLANATIONS.MAFIA GAME RULES
Rules may vary from community to community, so we highly advise you to carefully read these rules.
- Only post/talk about the game in this thread. Don't PM other players, unless you are mafia and wish to talk with your teammates. Also, don't post anything about the game in other threads or on other forums.
- Don't try to use the form of your role PM. So a screenshot of your role PM would be cheating.
- You are not allowed to change your avatar, location or any other profile info during game in any way that could be construed as hinting at your role.
- This is a game of lying. Players are expected to lie. No statement or promise a player makes within the game has any force outside the game. As an example, a bet offered in a game is not something you can collect if you win.
- If we believe you to be bending the rules intentionally in a way that clearly goes against the spirit of the rules, game, and/or championship, then that would also be grounds for modkill and potential disqualification.
- If you have any questions about rules, send a PM to your host. Avoid asking questions to the host in the thread.
- Don't ever refer to private communications with the Game Host.
- If you should ever require a replacement, PM Lissa and stop posting in the thread.
- No hydra'ing / multi-accounting is allowed. Do not share your account with anyone else.
- You are not allowed to reference the post-game voting during the game. I.e. you cannot post "if you lynch me, you're not getting my vote after the game" or anything like that.
- Treat your fellow players with respect. Hostility will not be tolerated.
Refer to this post for the complete, standard ruleset for mafia games.
I will repeat this particular rule once more in big letters to make sure you understand:
DO NOT EVER REFERENCE THIS GAME OUTSIDE OF THIS GAME THREAD. YOU SHOULD NOT BE TALKING ABOUT THIS GAME WHATSOEVER ON YOUR HOME SITE. IF PEOPLE ASK YOU QUESTIONS, TELL THEM YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT THE GAME AND LINK THEM TO THIS THREAD.MINIMUM ACTIVITY REQUIREMENTS
All players are required to make a minimum of 10 posts per game day.
Activity prods will be conducted based on the phase length of the game as follows:
If a player has made 0 posts by 6 hours into a day, they will be prodded in private.
If a player has made less than 10 posts by 2 hours before EoD, they will be prodded in private. This is in addition to the mid-day prod if the player is a 0-poster.
If a player has made less than 5 posts by 24 hours into a day, they will be prodded in private.
If a player has made less than 10 posts by 2 hours before EoD, they will be prodded in private again.If a player has made 0 posts by 24 hours into a day, they will be prodded in private.
If a player has made less than 5 posts by 48 hours into a day, they will be prodded in private. This is in addition to the mid-day prod if the player is a 0-poster.
If a player has made less than 10 posts by 6 hours before EoD, they will be prodded in private again. This is in addition to the previous prod(s).
If a player has posted 0 times by EoD on any given day without maj, once night begins they will be subbed out as soon as possible.
If a player makes 1-9 posts during a day without maj, they have the full night to respond to the warning. If they do not respond to the warning in time, they will be subbed out.
If a player makes 1-9 posts a second time on any future day without maj, they will be subbed out.
These rules apply to all players regardless of alignment.
The game hosts and tournament organizers reserve all rights to immediately sub out any player who has not met the minimum requirement, regardless of whether or not the player has met the requirement on previous days. Similarly, if players are only meeting this requirement by spamming and/or posting in the last hour of the day, that and similar circumstances would also be cause for substitution.
SUBSTITUTION PROCEDURE
If your representative needs to sub out during a QUALIFIER (through request, inactivity, or otherwise), your community's backup will take their place, This is assuming 1) you've elected one, 2) they've registered a user on Mafia Universe, and 3) that I'm able to get a hold of them within a reasonable amount of time (i.e. with enough time left in the current phase for the sub to work with).
If I can't get a hold of your backup, I will give the spot to a representative from a community that joined the series late - or failing that, a backup from one of the larger communities.
If your representative needs to sub out during a SEMIFINAL or FINALE game, your community's backup will NOT take their place. Instead the next person who was in line to receive a semifinal or finale spot will take their place.

BIO:
How does a bastard, orphan, son of a townie
And a wolf, dropped in the middle of a gulf
In the Universe by providence impoverished
In squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
The scum-brawler, shot-caller without a collar
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter
By being a self-starter
At Playdip, he dripped quips like a spaceship flips, like a Lays chip chips,
And every day while town was going down and drowning in clowns,
He’s making traps, and catching sad sack wolves in ‘em
Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of
The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter
Then a Pandemic came, and devastation reigned
Our man saw his spare time drip, dripping down the drain
Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain
And he wrote a sick refrain, that popped like cold champagne.
Well, the word got around, they said, “he writes just like my gramps, man.”
Took a little vote to send him all the way to Champs land.
Get your education, don't forget from whence you came
And the world is gonna know your name
What's your name, man?
Conq
My name is Conq
And that’s too short it throws the meter off
But that’s my name even though it’s lame.
Hater, relax, just like that, he’s in spec chat, a debater,
Two weeks later, he’s dancing and prancing like AC Slater,
Calling out scum like a dumb prognosticator
Laying low, all the while, with a smile, like a gator,
Fills out a Doodle, on Google, he says I’m ready
He’s like a noodle, add hot water, he’s spaghetti,
They stick him in game 6, and assume he’s not a threat,
He started wreckin’, cross-checkin’ every word of meta on the net.
There would have been nothin' left to do for someone less astute
He woulda flopped, been mischopped, without a note of good repute.
But he was playin’ and slayin’, and calling spades spades.
He was sortin’ out the scum, and hurling truth grenades.
Drinking up the thread and that sweet Day 1 fearkill.
Now he’s slamming down his glass, and he nods for a refill,
In the new thread you can be a new man
In the new thread you can be a new man (just you wait)
In the new thread you can be a new man (just you wait)
In the new thread you can be a new man
In the new thread, new thread
Just you wait
Conq
Conq
We are sweating in scumchat for you
Swearing in scumchat for you
You could never back down
You never learned to take your time
Oh, Conq
Conq
When spec chat sings for you
Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote your game?
The world will never be the same, oh
The fox is in the henhouse now
See if you can spot him (just you wait)
A Playdip predator comin' from where you never saw him (just you wait)
Eating up your chickens and your kittens ‘for you caught ‘him
We, fought with him
INAWORDYES: “Me, I died for him”
ACEMARVEL: “Me, I trusted him”
WINDWARDAWAY: “Me, I loved him”
PSYCHO and YAMI together: “And me, I'm the genius that fearshot him” (shot him, shot him)
There's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait
What's your name, man?

BIO:
Hi! I'm Doctor Zeus, POG's rep. As the original home of MU, and Thingyman's original community, i feel honoured to rep this esteemed community!
I'm hoping the feelings of intrepidation at randing the "group of death" will hopefully soon turn to feelings of glory as i rep the team with pride and take us to the finale and hopefully win!
But- who am I?
I started playing Werewolf in earnest at the start of last year, learning my chops in a series of cop 9'ers and mashes on POG before making my way over to MU & a few other communities. I'm a pretty poor player overall, but am really good at finding people to carry me, so hopefully we see a bit of that this year!
A small tit bit about me. You know the name Doctor Zeus? Well it came from how i'm friends with Matt Groening, writer of the Simpsons. During the writing of the episode of the Simpsons where Bart defrauds himself in to renting a car, I was playing a game of telegram mafia with Matt and a few others. As the game heated up, I started calling out Matt! What an idiot, i said, your a fool & mistaken to believe I, the beacon of towniness, is a wolf! He retorted back, well I think your crazy- and also lazy!
Anyway, as a result of that, and the ensuing argument, he ended up adding in the Planet Of The Apes musical to the episode, and, the diss track about Dr Seuss, as you see in the video attached.

BIO:
I’m a genetics PhD student and podcaster that can’t lie without laughing–thank goodness this game isn’t in person! By far my favorite role to play is that of the ~traitor~, which was my first role in my first ever game (which I won)! My favorite story is from my second ever game that I convinced my girlfriend to play with me, in which I basically gaslit her into a self-vote to execute and lost the game because the vote happened while I was sleeping. Needless to say, my girlfriend has not played mafia with me since because it’s “too stressful.”
I haven’t been playing long, but I like to think that what I lack in experience I make up for in enthusiasm and love for mind games and psychoanalyzing the internal motives of my fellow players. Can you tell I’m a Paladin-Warlock multi main?
To sum myself up as a player: Great detective, excellent team player, and a better traitor. But if I’m Kingdom (aka Town), you better believe I will give you takes and work with the group to bring the traitors to justice. Down with the liars, Kingdom forever!
Some choice quotes from fellow players in my community:
KazYual: “I’m pretty sure HB is a bad person.”
Amelia: “But HB KNOWS me” votes to execute
Feral: “HB has been playing it safe almost all game. Seems like they’re trying too hard.”
Kuma: “I’m starting to think Hells is a T, but they’re too much of a wildcard as they’re new”
Pure: “Make sure you put in there that you always keep people guessing”

BIO:
Hey again everyone, I'm back! Last time I came to this competition I had no games as the bad guys, but now I have plenty and I am more paranoid than ever! For some reason I think those games broke me, but don't worry, I'm still the same person playing, just worse at the game. I've learned that the best role ever is none other than Vanilla Townie, and as such I have a 12/15 chance of being an happy person in the qualifiers. Lucky me! Other things to know about me is that I (still) tunnel, I (still) am a noob and I (still) am an obvious read, so maybe not that much changed since last time... I'm also usually helpful to town, regardless of alignment. I know I had a blast last year (G2 best game ever!) and I'm sure I'll have a blast again, so bring it on, and let's have some fun!

BIO:
I am a surviver of Season6Game4, and to be frank i have hardly played since.
That game was a beast and a half.
My community has hardly any rules for agressiveness, and feelings often fly high enough that grudges last for
a few games, but everyone can have a laugh about it in graveyard chat.
I value pushing people for reactions, and i promise that, even if you manage to get under my skin in the game,
all is forgiven once the final scum hangs, or the last villager is shot.
I have never played in a game with 0 powerroles, my comfort setup is village with one towncop vs scum.
When i signed up for this i tought that was the setup, but im looking forward to see how the game progress, and
how intune i feel with it, with the lack of a seer-covers.
I am very comfortable with tone reads and logical falacies though.
All my games are in danish, except the Season6Game4, so if you want reads on me, go look there.

A Random conversation from the ashes of time:
Cream: Tilga is mega grandpa
Cream: I can feel it
Joker: I thought Tilga was the oldest
Joker: now we have to know
Cream: Tilga is too nice to be too old
Cream: like “untouched by the sands of time” sort of nice
Psyx: Tilga is either that super nice grampa or a super nice Hannibal-like serial killer
Joker: why not both?
Joker: he needs a cover
Cream: lolol
Joker: @Tilga we're onto you
_
I've played somewhere around 30 games, and am probably a middling player, in all honesty. I consider myself better as mafia than town, but there is a certain chance my high town rand rate has blinded my homesite, but one can hope, you know :'p
I'm here to have fun, and am hoping to share that with my fellow players! Wether we win or lose, let's make sure it's memorable!

BIO:
I grew up playing live mafia and similar games, so I'm well familiar with social deduction. I was introduced to Forum Mafia in late 2020 by the FoL community, and I've been playing regularly ever since. I don't have a favorite setup, but I enjoy closed role madness games because the mechanics provide all sorts of interesting results. I love solving puzzles and mysteries in general, and aside from FM, I frequently play board games and video games.

BIO:
Hello, I am from Something Awful. I have heard about this championship one or two seasons before but only now have I worked up the courage to actually give it a go. While I'm a bit busy with a somewhat unpredictable work schedule, I am what Something Awful calls an "effort player", i.e. someone who pours a lot of time and effort into mafia games. I can be somewhat bullheaded, but be assured, it's all in the spirit of mafia! By no means do I mean to actually cause offense, my playstyle can just be very aggressive if I think I'm onto something. Another thing you should be aware of that I can be terrible at detecting sarcasm/humor.
My favorite role is Vigilante (not that I ever got the role on SA yet...) and I much prefer having a power role over being Vanilla generally. On SA, I usually run role madness (i.e. everyone has a role) games with a bit of a reputation for having crazy and unique roles.
Overall, I'm actually pretty excited to be here and hope to make it far (or at least further than day 2...)

Out of Thread Communication: Only the Mafia team may communicate with each other outside of the thread (24/7)
LYLO Rules: Votes are automatically locked in at LYLO. I.e. when the game reaches a point where one more miselimination leads to a loss, you cannot change your vote once you have cast it.
Minimum Posting Requirement: Minimum 10 posts per Game Day
Maximum Posts Allowed: 150 posts per player per Game Day (restriction is lifted 1 hour before EOD though, so if you've reached your max you can post again at that time).3x Mafia Goon
12x Vanilla Townie
Relevant mechanics info:
- Day start.
- Majority elimination is enabled Day 2+, but majority is not required at any point for the elimination.
- Tied votes will result in a player being eliminated at random from among the tied players.
- No outside communication. I.e. you may not contact the other players outside of the thread (unless you are Mafia and wish to speak with your teammates).
- Thread is locked during Night Phases.
- Votes are automatically locked in at LYLO.
- Mafia share a factional Night Kill, which is a single standard shot for their faction. The mafia factional kill is mandatory.
- Mafia may communicate at any time.
- Each individual player may make a maximum of 150 posts per day phase (this restriction is lifted 1 hour before day end).
- The game will have 3 organizers overseeing everything and making sure everyone’s following the code of conduct along with a flavour host, but otherwise the game is completely automated (automatic votecounts, thread locks and reveals alignments automatically, the bot receives and processes actions, etc.).

Ideally that doesn't happen, even though those particular instances have happened in the past!!!!
Indeed; assuming this covers softing/making vague references to your role as well, unless people want that!!
Also, assuming that doctor can't consecutively target people either, unless you all want that? Same for roleblocker not being able to consecutively target!!
On a similar note, do people want to allow vigs to consecutive target? I'd lean that being fine probably, can make that not a thing if people don't want that though!!!

DISCLAIMER ALERT
The beauty of the Mafia Championship is that it brings communities closer together, and it provides an opportunity for players to learn new playstyles, metas and mechanics. And hopefully make new friends as well.
All that being said, the games can also very quickly become overwhelming and frustrating since you probably won't be able to play completely in the same way that you're used to. You don't necessarily need to adapt, but you will probably need to accept that some of the other players will have a different approach to the game than you.
We hope that you will embrace this as part of the experience. It's easy to grow frustrated with people when you don't know them (imagine how you would have felt playing with your friends on your home site if you didn't know any of them when you played your first game together), so a huge part of playing in the Championship is also getting to know the other players in some way.
Specifically, the seasons have taught us that you should be prepared for:
- A very high level of activity. On average, there will be 600-700 posts per 24 hours during the early stages of the game in qualifier games, and likely more in semifinal/finale games. This is a melting pot of dedicated and enthusiastic players all gathered in one game.
- You will likely face very different posting styles: Some will post walls of texts with many quotes, some will post a ton of one-liners, and some people will be very keen to interact in real-time in the thread (using the thread as a chat rather than a thread you pop into a few times a day).
- A flurry of activity towards the end of the day. This means that if you check out 5 hours before the day ends, you should not be surprised to return the next day to see that the wagons were changed multiple times. If you want your vote to count, be careful to not agree to a game where you can never be around for EOD.
- A few players in your game will probably have played with each other before. This has become impossible to prevent as increasingly many players have played on Mafia Universe.
- We do not condone abusive remarks and we have banned several communities from participating based on this before, but each season features dozens of new communities, so there is always a slight risk that you might encounter abusive players. If you do, please report them and we'll take care of it.
Past seasons have shown that players get more enjoyment out of the games when they make connections with the other players, so we highly encourage you to join our Discord server either before or after the game.
Finally, we encourage you to at least skim some of the season 8 games to get a sense of how the games usually play out: https://www.mafiauniverse.com/forums...mmunity-Events

Are you not familiar with some of the terminology used by the other players? Maybe this will help you: TERMINOLOGY EXPLANATIONS.MAFIA GAME RULES
Rules may vary from community to community, so we highly advise you to carefully read these rules.
- Only post/talk about the game in this thread. Don't PM other players, unless you are mafia and wish to talk with your teammates. Also, don't post anything about the game in other threads or on other forums.
- Don't try to use the form of your role PM. So a screenshot of your role PM would be cheating.
- You are not allowed to change your avatar, location or any other profile info during game in any way that could be construed as hinting at your role.
- This is a game of lying. Players are expected to lie. No statement or promise a player makes within the game has any force outside the game. As an example, a bet offered in a game is not something you can collect if you win.
- If we believe you to be bending the rules intentionally in a way that clearly goes against the spirit of the rules, game, and/or championship, then that would also be grounds for modkill and potential disqualification.
- If you have any questions about rules, send a PM to your host. Avoid asking questions to the host in the thread.
- Don't ever refer to private communications with the Game Host.
- If you should ever require a replacement, PM Lissa and stop posting in the thread.
- No hydra'ing / multi-accounting is allowed. Do not share your account with anyone else.
- You are not allowed to reference the post-game voting during the game. I.e. you cannot post "if you lynch me, you're not getting my vote after the game" or anything like that.
- Treat your fellow players with respect. Hostility will not be tolerated.
Refer to this post for the complete, standard ruleset for mafia games.
I will repeat this particular rule once more in big letters to make sure you understand:
DO NOT EVER REFERENCE THIS GAME OUTSIDE OF THIS GAME THREAD. YOU SHOULD NOT BE TALKING ABOUT THIS GAME WHATSOEVER ON YOUR HOME SITE. IF PEOPLE ASK YOU QUESTIONS, TELL THEM YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT THE GAME AND LINK THEM TO THIS THREAD.MINIMUM ACTIVITY REQUIREMENTS
All players are required to make a minimum of 10 posts per game day.
Activity prods will be conducted based on the phase length of the game as follows:
If a player has made 0 posts by 6 hours into a day, they will be prodded in private.
If a player has made less than 10 posts by 2 hours before EoD, they will be prodded in private. This is in addition to the mid-day prod if the player is a 0-poster.
If a player has made less than 5 posts by 24 hours into a day, they will be prodded in private.
If a player has made less than 10 posts by 2 hours before EoD, they will be prodded in private again.If a player has made 0 posts by 24 hours into a day, they will be prodded in private.
If a player has made less than 5 posts by 48 hours into a day, they will be prodded in private. This is in addition to the mid-day prod if the player is a 0-poster.
If a player has made less than 10 posts by 6 hours before EoD, they will be prodded in private again. This is in addition to the previous prod(s).
If a player has posted 0 times by EoD on any given day without maj, once night begins they will be subbed out as soon as possible.
If a player makes 1-9 posts during a day without maj, they have the full night to respond to the warning. If they do not respond to the warning in time, they will be subbed out.
If a player makes 1-9 posts a second time on any future day without maj, they will be subbed out.
These rules apply to all players regardless of alignment.
The game hosts and tournament organizers reserve all rights to immediately sub out any player who has not met the minimum requirement, regardless of whether or not the player has met the requirement on previous days. Similarly, if players are only meeting this requirement by spamming and/or posting in the last hour of the day, that and similar circumstances would also be cause for substitution.
SUBSTITUTION PROCEDURE
If your representative needs to sub out during a QUALIFIER (through request, inactivity, or otherwise), your community's backup will take their place, This is assuming 1) you've elected one, 2) they've registered a user on Mafia Universe, and 3) that I'm able to get a hold of them within a reasonable amount of time (i.e. with enough time left in the current phase for the sub to work with).
If I can't get a hold of your backup, I will give the spot to a representative from a community that joined the series late - or failing that, a backup from one of the larger communities.
If your representative needs to sub out during a SEMIFINAL or FINALE game, your community's backup will NOT take their place. Instead the next person who was in line to receive a semifinal or finale spot will take their place.

Annio of Viterbo (sometimes known as Annius of Viterbo, among other names) was a fifteenth-century Italian humanist scholar. As you might expect, he was from the town of Viterbo. He claimed to be able to read the Etruscan language, which had hitherto gone untranslated, as well as various languages spoken in Asia. He also published works he had purportedly discovered or translated showing that the Etruscans, and the town of Viterbo, were comparatively important in the history of ancient Rome. He also led an archeological dig in Viterbo, in which he unearthed several marble statues, in the style of Roman statues, which he used as further evidence of Viterbo's importance.
His claims were, as point of fact, false. His works were forgeries, he couldn't even read Etruscan, and the statues he 'discovered' had actually been planted shortly before the archeological dig.
This isn't actually relevant to the game except by the tenuous connection that he is a liar and this is a game about lying, but now you know a mildly interesting history fact.
Finally, since I am representing a mafia site formerly hosted on a FIRST robotics forum, here is a picture of one of our robots (yes, it's glowing blue, yes, the glowing has a purpose):

BIO:
Hello All! I am happy to be here and let's eliminate all the bad guys... unless I am the bad guy hehe. I have rarely played forum games and this is my first full real forum game, so I am excited!! I will do my best to learn along the way and hope to have fun with all of you! As of my gameplay, I tend to try to find my town day by day and work from there to build a POE. As mafia, I do tend to buss sometimes and act so towny that not a soul would dare try to kill me. I would say more about my gameplay, but I will save it for the game. Excited for this game and can't wait to see what is in store, good vibes all around! #KeepItPlaya
3) AXIS
REPRESENTING: TarValon
NATIONALITY: Australian
STARTED PLAYING MAFIA (YEAR): 2015
HAVE PLAYED MAFIA ON THE FOLLOWING SITES: TarValon.net, MafiaUniverse.com
BIO:
I’m Australian so I often come off unintentionally as brash, but I’ve learned to moderate that somewhat.
I like to play aggressively and turn the heat up under players to get reads on them.
I like activity and am the top poster in my home community, but I like contributing posts. Fluff spammers will draw my vote.
My favourite role is Vanilla Town, as you get to aggressively scum hunt without having to worry about losing the town a role potentially.
My favourite memory in mafia is probably as mafia false counter-claiming Cop and convincing the town to kill the real cop. Still makes me smile.

HAVE PLAYED MAFIA ON THE FOLLOWING SITES: Dark Lord Potter, GayTeenForum, Mafia Universe, The Syndicate, Jesus Toast Mafia
BIO:
Hey, I'm Cobalt. Only Thingyman can call me Coby. Is that a Sudowoodo in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
I used to be a big fish in a small pond on GayTeenForum back in the day, and wound up mostly running the mafia community there until the site closed down. I moved to DLP to play with some friends and found my second home there. Our community is dwindling, so I’m hoping to bring it home big this year as an honor to them!
Over the years, I’ve been evolving into a sort of middle ground support player where I tend to live on the edge of the PoE. It’s fun here and I have cookies.
I love playing on MU because I get mixed up with people from all walks of life and all play styles, and that’s entertaining and meaningful to me. I can’t wait to see what kinds of personalities I’ll be up against this year!

BIO:
Hi, I'm jmwjmw27! I like playing forum mafia and prefer the town role. My favorite games are chaotic games like bastard games, role madness games or super large games like mashes!
My personal philosophy as town is to just post a constant stream of my thoughts without worrying how I'll look for it.
As scum, I prefer not to bus when I can avoid it - no wolf left behind!

Good luck everyone, super hyped to play with you all!
Also a proud representative of The Abomination Mafia Discord Community. The last seven hours that I have been a member of that great community have been life-changing. It has revolutionized both how I approach the game of FM and the very concept of social deduction in general.

BIO:
Hey everyone! I'm plopadop, and I'm representing FlashFlashRevolution this year! I'd love to tell you more about myself, but, alas, I have amnesia. The last thing I remember is getting a mysterious message from someone calling themselves Mr X. It said, and I quote, "The game is already afoot. Behold the opening move, and despair." After that, however? Nothing. Now I'm stuck in a very Saw-esque scenario, strapped to a chair that's suspended above a vat of some unknown bubbling liquid while a sharp object prods the back of my neck—not enough to puncture anything, mind you, but enough to let me know it's there. There's also a terminal in front of me ordering me to complete this bio then "await further instructions." To be honest, I've been putting off doing so since this screen is the only source of light I have. The thought of being stuck in pitch black darkness, forced to listen to the sounds of whatever it is that's scurrying about both above and beneath me, is...well, it's a bit more than I can handle, to say the least...
But, hey, enough about me! I'm looking forward to getting to know all sorts of cool new people while we enjoy some good ol' fashioned games of Mafia! See ya in the threads!

HAVE PLAYED MAFIA ON THE FOLLOWING SITES: Mafialandia,Fanficslandia, Pokexperto (Tho in pokexperto the games weren't specifically mafia and were things more focused on roleplaying and roles ig)
BIO:
Guys, I'm going to be honest with you. I don't know how I even got here.
I like to play mafia mostly for fun and the thrill, so not a tryhard kindof player I guess, but I will put the effort tho!
I have a scummy PoV both as town and mafia, in the way that I prioritize pushing for my solve and stuff like that as town and dont care much about being townread.
My expectation is to not be lynched tbh, or at least not get lynched in the early days ;-;.
Here is a trick to read me correctly:

REPRESENTING: Student Doctor Network
NATIONALITY: American
STARTED PLAYING MAFIA (YEAR): 2020
HAVE PLAYED MAFIA ON THE FOLLOWING SITES: SDN, MU
BIO:
After her mother, Animal Midwife, escaped the vanilla fields of Soviet Russia, she gave birth to supershorty. Communication was limited, leaving more questions than answers, she was raised primarily on Saturday Morning Cartoons. From the Bloodbath of the Emojis to the slog through the lighthouse, her storied career was just beginning. Leading the first expedition to Madagascar, she paid homage to her ancestral vanilla roots. Things got explosive when she tried her hand at Wizardry, but her sly wit and sharp tongue blazed a path through the dawnless horizon. A master of literature, and a must have on any wedding guest list. She bet big in the casino and it paid off. But of course no one could mention shorty without talking about the majesty of her spreadsheets. Now, with the smell of vanilla in the air, the call of her ancestors summons her, like an ISO she can't resist.
Wheaties in the morning - no way. She benchpresses her backup before heading to the lab to cure cancer and save lives. This girl's writing her doctoral dissertation at the same time as her wall posts. Though she be but little, and most commonly found under the couch, she is fierce.
Don't be fooled by how smol,
She'll kick shins in a brawl.
If you're wolfing, all we can say is beware:
“As you see I've got biceps to spare!”

BIO:
TheCapsFan is a mafia player hailing from Bulbagarden, where he is also a Super Moderator of the forums and host of the Bulbagarden podcast, Bulbacast. He played his first Mafia game in 2016 and quickly rose through Bulbagarden’s mafia community to win Best New Player for that year. In subsequent years, he became known for being quite ruthless when of mafia alignment, and tactical and thoughtful when of town alignment. In addition to Bulbagarden, he plays mafia on Zelda Dungeon and the Beat Arcade discord server. TheCapsFan most recently graduated undergrad with a degree in statistics and computer science. He is a huge hockey fan, and, as his username may suggest, his team of choice is the Washington Capitals.

Anyways seems like we're running back game 4 again lets get it!! Unfortunately I was either gonna play during the last weeks of the uni semester or during exams so I picked during last weeks of uni it seems yup.
More shameless facts that I didn't mention in my previous bio so I'll mention anyway:
- I have now lost 3 F3s now where I had the deciding vote
I swapped from SF3 to SF1 just to play with the game 4 crew once more :^)- I still haven't paid off the bet that I lost to Ephemera that other time don't tell them, I'm still on ep 4, it'll be done soon™
I cosplayed Hu Tao a second time but this time at an actual convention, I enjoyed it a lot. Might actually get into crossplaying as a hobby but it's hella expensive lol.- I think Among Us is fun
