Super Mario Bros. X Forums

Today's final day. Please let me know as soon as you can who your rep is (or if you are deciding to back out, please also let me know that ASAP).

Shroom and I are both willing, and Megar would go if he agrees since he is the best bet.

Edit: Joey, Psuedo-Dino and Danny should decide between Shroom and me if Megar says no. Since this is the last day.

Pseudo and I are discussing this at the moment, and we'll try to get a response as soon as possible.

alright guys
hate to disappoint, but i'm just not feeling up to something of this measure
i'm only going through my third game in two years and I don't think I can live up to what you all expect of me
that, and I really need a break when my exams are over and I don't want to worry about the championship during it

Hey don't worry about it! You're under no obligation to do this sort of thing.

As pretty much all of our most experienced players are unavailable, we are unfortunately going to have to turn down the offer to participate in the Mafia championships. We really appreciate the offer though and might be down to participate next year, schedules permitting. Thanks so much for considering us for participation in your event!

Alright, I'm sorry to hear that, but hopefully next year, indeed

Why wasn't I considered? A couple of people said they'd be fine with me, and it fits my schedule.

Shroom is good, why isn't he allowed?

Same.
He might not be on the level of Zeldamaster for example but he's still really good.

In my opinion, the game masters should reconsider.

We GMs don't really think the our Mafia scene is ready for this, to be perfectly honest. We really appreciate the invitation, Thingyman, but we won't be sending anyone this year. Thanks for your interest.

Sorry for Suggesting this site Thingyman.

Danny and I have decided that anyone sent to represent this community on another forum should have won at least 5 Mafia games.

We'd be happy to send someone in future years, Thingyman, should someone who has met those requirements be available then.

Thanks for understanding, everyone.

Is there anyone who is close? (Won 4 games)

I have won 9 games here. Supershroom has a database stickyed with everyone's win/loss ratio.

Edit:
Subject: Mafia Player Database (M1 - M36)

Supershroom wrote:So, I went through all games we have thus far (M34) and calculated the winning-losing bilances of all players that have participated at least once. This is not meant to indicate how much of a good or bad player they are, or how active they were. Ties within the same difference are broken by amount of participations, e.g. a 2:1 is ranked higher than a 1:0 and a 3:5 is ranked higher than a 1:3. This rewards players who have participated more often.

Last update: April 4th (M37)

Old post from 8flight: show

Notice: I only calculate Win/Loss Ratios for those that have more than 5 games
Also, I'm splitting this up into Seasons of 20 games because Google Docs can only fit that much
Season 1 (M1 - M20)

Highest Win/Lose Ratio: 8bitmushroom: 2.67
Highest Number of Town Wins: glitch4, qig, and ZeldaMaster12: 7
Highest Number of Mafia Wins: Pseudo-Dino: 3
Highest Number of Neutral Wins: Gohan and Ignoritus: 1
Highest Number of Overall Wins: Pseudo-Dino, qig, and ZeldaMaster12: 9

Season 2 (M21 - M40)

Highest Win/Lose Ratio: ???
Highest Number of Town Wins: ???:
Highest Number of Mafia Wins: ???
Highest Number of Neutral Wins: ???
Highest Number of Overall Wins: ???

So why is Pseudo saying (or at least implying) that no one has won 5 Mafia games yet.

Because Supershroom has 2 wins and 5 losses. While game wins/losses are not specifically representative of your ability and skill level in Mafia, it should at least show your how much of a veteran you are here for us to consider you as a representative, especially in cases where you are on the Mafia team and you win a game with your team.

That said, not only does this prevent him from participating, but we feel that his behavior this past game has lowered his chances of us considering him as a representative significantly. While I wholeheartedly appreciate our invitation to this event, we do not have a representative to send this time around. Just because people see that Supershroom is doing particularly well this current game (M38), that does not exactly mean we, Pseudo and I, the gamemasters and general runners of Mafia on this forum, see him as a worthy candidate for being a representative.

Now, this community plays Mafia in a particularly lax way, and some of our rules, regulations, and playstyles differ greatly from other communities and forums that play Mafia/Werewolf, so we won't just send anyone out as a representative for our community. What we perceive as a good player here will not necessarily make them a good player in a competitive environment, of which events like this typically are. Without disclosing far too much information, and not to turn anyone away because it is a really fun event, one of our previous representatives was ridiculed for their skill at playing, and that representative is someone here that we consider a good player. While I don't doubt peoples' Mafia playing skills, Pseudo and I chose some people that we would be considered worthy candidates, and none of them could attend.

We considered this decision for a long while, and we feel that it would be best for the ego of our community to not attend this time around. Hopefully that is understandable by all.
