Prize Series - Winter Mafia
TL Mafia would like to announce the start of a series of mafia games with an incentive. Every quarter this game will be ran with prizes on offer.
To kick off the series there will be $100 worth of prizes on offer for the winter mafia game.
Signups will open 03/12/2018 and will remain open for 1 week. Game will start 10/12/2018.
Below is a quick guideline/FAQ on how the games will be ran
Format
Standard 13 player mafia game. Semi Open setups. No 3rd parties or gimmicks.
Prize Rules
At the end of the game, each player must submit two nominations on who they believe should win a prize.
Vote objectively , who played well? Contributed to the game? Created a positive environment? You may not nominate yourself. If you do not nominate then you are not eligible for a prize. You must nominate privately without discussion.
Once all nominations have been submitted the votes will be counted and prizes awarded as follows
1st) $50 amazon e-voucher/paypal 2nd) $30 amazon e-voucher/paypal 3rd) $20 amazon e-voucher/paypal
In the event of a tie the prizes will be distributed equally. If there is a clear 1st & 2nd place but more than 2 people tie for 3rd place. two 3rd place winners will be determined randomly.
Sign Ups
Sign ups wil happen in the regular way (posting /in to the game thread)
If the number of people wanting to play exceeds the number of slots then activity over the last 6 months will be used to select players This will follow a points based system
Played/hosted/cohosted - 1 point Observed - 0.5 points
If you have never played a game of mafia before now is a good time to join some games and accrue some activity points.
Modkills and Activity
You must vote in this game, not voting is an instant modkill and you will be banned from future prize games. There is no activity requirement The game will follow the standard TL mafia rules about modkill offences. (no posting role pm etc.) There won't be modkills or warnings for swearing or being mean as moderator involvement will be minimal. There will be no replacements.
I want to reiterate the point that you should ONLY sign up if you can commit to playing this game.
Fairness All Roles will be randomised. Role/prize distribution will be recorded and undertaken with the supervision of an impartial third party.
If you have questions then please post in the thread and I will be happy to answer.

It's like when you help a friend with something and he gives you money.

My presence here is my gift to you all. I dont need money for it.

Me and my 6 smurfs are totally pumped for this.

Wew I picked the right fucking time to come back
Keeping the signups open for 9 straight months seems a little extra though

Its nice that there is a monetary incentive, but i dont see how it will improve the state of TL Mafia if that is the goal.
Drawing people back for the wrong reasons.
What happens when games don't offer financial contribution. What happens when someone is lynched out of spite or contempt.. What happen when someone is vigged out of spire or contempt.
I agree its cool that is now basically "survivor", but, I hope this isnt intended to resurrect the dead.

It's something I want to do which adds a bit of spice to the game.
As to your questions, the answer is exactly the same as what happens in a normal game.

It's open for a week, we write the date correctly in the UK so it seems confusing to Americans.

Its your ?money?, so do as you please.
However, its certainly not the same as what happens in a normal game.
Any age bracket should be able to appreciate that having financial incentives introduces a completely different element of risk and behaviour than otherwise.
Good luck with the game, and don't forget that you dont win the title of "sole-survivor" you are awarded it.
Lastly, people cannot even agree on annual mafia nominations. I hope you are ready for the uproar when people miss out on the money that feel they deserved it.

GUY GUYS!! WE CAN DO THIS!!! We just got to build a time machine and go back and sign up for the game! Then we can win the $100!

For the uninformed Americans:
Dates in Europe are usually written Day/Month/Year as opposed to the Month/Day/Year format we use.
This is an announcement thread, signups start in December.

In Europe people speak foreign but this is still an English-language site
I don't see why dates should be different

Oh geez..
What am I suppose to do with a time machine now?

It depends what you mean by this. I for example couldn't care less if i win $50 or whatever from a mafia game but maybe for the whole game it gives some incentive for people to actually play properly and actually try to play the game instead of doing... well what some people just do.... I mean like it would be nice to have a mafia game where everyone in the game actually tries to play mafia.

I had hoped to make something a bit different and have a sort of Christmas giveaway. With the potential to create a series if people enjoyed it.
The reaction has been mixed but it is not my intention to stop people from playing or hosting games therefore I am open to suggestions on how to improve the model.
Would people be more comfortable with a lower financial incentive so it's just a fun little prize?

No it is a good idea, just because Mocsta and Koshi(?) don't agree with it doesn't make it bad. Imo playing for a prize or a title or smth motivates some people. I don't need such motivation, i just wanna play a good game and every game i go into i think it's gonna be a good game and quite often i get disappointed. But yeah, people are different, it is not a bad idea and definitely worth trying if you want to do it.

I as well think it is great!

I don't think this is a good idea. At the very least, the prize shouldn't be given out by popular vote of the players. Have a jury observe. Give them full information about who is mafia and who is town. Playing well as mafia is different from playing well as town. They will also be outside of any irritations and tunneling that might happen.

Yes, playing well as mafia is different from playing well as town, and an outside jury cannot possibly tell who is playing well as mafia because for the observers it might seem like some mafia guy did tons of mistakes, except that the mafia guy was not playing against observers rather than the townies in the game. I know for example i make a loooooot of seriously scummy things when i am mafia in case i consider i can get away with them in a game. Certain observers always figure me out in any game they are observing but it is completely different thing to judge that in a game you don't know the alignments.
