Invitation to Werewolf Championship Featuring 170 Communities
Hi everyone
![]() Galadriel55 was sweet enough to help me and told me that this would be the appropriate place to post this. INVITATION TO THE WEREWOLF CHAMPIONSHIP (SEASON 5) It is with great pleasure that I hereby invite your community to take part in Season 5 of the Werewolf (aka Mafia which I will call it below; it's the same game, just two different names for it). Championship. The Mafia Championship is an annual forum tournament series that pits representatives from various online Mafia (aka Werewolf) communities against one another as they compete to determine the Internet’s greatest forum Mafia player. Each participating community democratically elects one person to represent them and be their “Champion”. The whole thing started back in 2013, and since then more than 225 different communities and 50+ different nationalities have been represented. I hope it sounds like a fun and exciting event ![]() 1. DO YOU ACCEPT THE INVITE? If you agree to participate, you just need to pick a representative or have someone volunteer before May 3. I'm sorry about this incredibly short deadline -- I have actually been trying for weeks to get approved to post on this site and then when I finally did a week ago, the site was down and then after that I went on vacation :/. If you need a couple more days, that will probably be fine too. The games will take place on Mafia Universe. If it’s okay, I can link directly to the general discussion thread regarding this topic on Mafia Universe. Important notes
2. SEASON 5 FORMAT The tournament structure
This (view picture below) is a semi-open grid setup meant for 17 players: 4 mafia versus 13 townies. First you randomly select a number to decide the mafia team's composition of Power Roles (1-2), then you randomly select a letter to decide the town's composition of Power Roles (A-E). Fill in the number of Vanilla Townies needed to make the town team have 13 members total, and you have your setup. ![]() *Town Jack of All Trades: 1x Vigilante, 1x Roleblocker, 1x Tracker. Many of these role names might not make sense to you. Again, if it would be okay, I can post a link that explains them all. Relevant mechanics info
3. SEASON 5 TIMELINE There will be 10 Qualifying Games, and your representative plays in just one of these. They will have start dates during the months of May and June. So in other words, as long as your representative can play sometime during that period, they should be good and I’ll make sure they get scheduled into a game that suits their schedule well. I.e. if your rep is busy until June, that isn’t a problem. Wildcard games will be played in July, and the Finale Game sometime in August/September (whenever we can work out something that suits everyone). If you want to get in contact with me ASAP, you can find me on Discord (Thingyman#6075). Kind regards, Thingyman |

This looks pretty amazing. I am not also much into volunteering myself, but I absolutely think we should send someone. We have so many veritable legends here.... (For that matter, Zil, I believe you do fully qualify as a WW Champion. I daresay many here do! No modesty needed in this case.)

The Championship might sometimes sound more elitist than is intended. Really, the purpose is for communities to bond and for new friendships to be made. Of course, some players are more competitive than others, but many people walk away feeling like they'd be up for a reunion game (and many actually make this happen).
So along those lines, you definitely shouldn't worry too much about whether or not you're a "champion". A good representative is just someone who represents the community and its ways or interests in one way or another ![]() |

++Inzil for representative
![]() Who knows, maybe it's just Downs luck to attract D1 votes? Like a subconscious habit among veteran players?

Thanks for the vote (of confidence?).
![]() It does sound like a lot of fun, but I just don't think I have the time. My current work assignment doesn't allow me to play on the clock like in the old days.
