Hey everyone I hope you won't mind this thread. If you do, then of course feel free to remove it. In short I am looking for 1 person to represent this site in a so-called Game of Champions, consisting of the best mafia players on the internet. I have searched the Internet and I have found a lot of interesting mafia sites and I have then done my very best research in an attempt to discover who the best players were at these different sites. So far, I have representatives from 13 different sites, all of whom are deemed to be the best of the best from where they normally play. This site seems really cool and it's also one of the few sites that are solely dedicated to mafia, so I think that it'd be a real shame if it wasn't represented in this truly unique and epic game (which will probably never occur again). So I was hoping that you'd be interested in helping me decide the 1 representative from your site? However you wish to go about this is up to you. If you want to let an administrator/moderator/senior player make the decision, if you want to conduct a poll in this thread or if you want to privately PM me your votes (in case you feel uncomfortable publicly voicing your preferences), then that's all good with me. I truly hope that you will consider this opportunity to participate in this project. Don't you want to kick the other sites' asses? In any case, I thank you for your time. More info: - Game will start September 3. - Each game day will be 2 days. - There will be approximately 25 players. - The game will likely last about 2 weeks. Kind regards, Thingyman

Interesting. There are several good players here.
I'll see what everyone else wants to do regarding this

Thanks for your help! It seems that people aren't too fond of writing in this thread. So feel free to send me anonymous suggestions. I already have suggestions from a few people, so if a few people more wrote me, I think I'd have a clear idea of who should represent your site

I think anyone from this site who plays regularly would be a good representative. Picking a single player as "the" representative isn't really possible--we are fairly diverse in skill sets and in how we approach the game. I'd give my blessing to anyone who volunteers.
However, given that our community here is an offshoot of the Straight Dope and the Giraffe message boards (rather on erudite end of the internet message-board spectrum), I think the parameters of your proposed game is not a good match for us. Two-day game Days is too fast for deep gameplay. Not that there's anything wrong with quick gameplay, but it makes for a very different game, favoring wits and guts over tactics and analysis.
Personally, I'd be interested in playing simply to see how it goes, but I have a strict "one game at a time" policy. Please do post a link here when the game starts.

Cycles are too fast for me too, I think. But good luck with your game

It is me, I am the best. Everyone knows this and can vouch for it, on account of my lengthy tenure here and many victories.

I think he/she was just joking around. Well, it sounds great, thingyman,...but as Pleonast said, it's hard to pick just one as many players here are outstanding at the game. I'd say just go with your best guess after maybe doing some reading of past games.

The game has filled up and unfortunately you only have a sort of secondary representative in Askthepizzaguy who's played a few games here (he is representing Totalwar though). But you will have a true representative next time, I promise!
