    We definitely want to do this and put on a good showing as a mafia community. Thanks for asking, Thingyman.

    Who thinks they'll be available over the time period to play? I would nominate Irene or Eidolonic, if they have the time and the inclination.

    Irene
    Eidolonic
    KaiDASH
    Lexicat
    fontisian
    Vesvius
    Titus
    Delphine

    would be good candidates, off the top of my head.

    I concur with Rubicon's list, and I think we should definitely send someone

    500ish posts in 24 hours? You mean overall, I hope, not from one player.

    And as far as a window from April to July goes, I'm pretty sure that the problem won't be finding our best player, but any player at all that can spare the time.

    Edit: Other than that, I totally think we should do this, but this sentence just cost me nothing since I'm not the one who'd be the representative.

    Hi guys

    To clarify:

    It would be one game in either April or May that the representative would play (and then maybe the finale in June or July if the person qualifies for it). The game would last for maximum 2 weeks. I've sent out a Doodle to all the confirmed representatives - they choose themselves which starting date would suit them best.

    And yeah, it's 500 posts in total per 24 hrs :p. Of course, that's just a guess - I can't know. But it's important that the representative would be able to handle that kind of activity - and also that the representative feels confident about being able to provide a good deal of posting volume himself/herself. So yeah, it requires a lot of activity on a daily basis for potentially a 2-week stretch (though of course the activity requirements get easier to handle as players die off).

    Again, I'm sorry for coming to you guys so late, but I hope you'll be able to decide on a good and active representative by April 2nd preferably :)

    I can handle the activity. I am reluctant to represent our site when my strength is directly proportional to how well I know the players.

    I would also support Blab, Citrus and Rubicon as good players who are currently active.

    This looks fun! I am intentionally refraining from giving opinions on players as I'm modding an active game but the names that have been suggested are good. :)

    I don't mind doing it if no one else is free but I'm not considered good yet. :$

    If on Tuesday we don't have a clear answer as to who our rep will be I will make a poll so we have Tuesday and Wednesday to respond to it to get our suggested nominee. I'll make it anonymous polling if DLP allows it :)

    I don't know if you guys know beruru from fantasy strike and Sir Chris from MTGS, but she's representing CPI forums and he's representing GameFAQs.

    I want to do this. Anyone else want it?

    I mean, I'm a part of multiple communities, so I'm not sure I can represent this site, but if people want me to, I'm game?

    actually, do you have a Mafiascum rep? lol

    Game 1 of the second season of the Mafia Championship has started: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/59/puzzles-other-games/2015-mafia-championship-game-1-a-1523482/

    fontisian is playing

    If you'd like to spectate the game and/or cheer on your representative, feel free to add me on Skype and I'll invite you to the spectator chat: thingyman

    The chat attracted more than a 100 people last time from all the various communities and was a ton of fun. Most importantly, it is a great opportunity for networking and creating connections with other communities as evidenced by the fact that it led to a bunch of crossover games the first time around. You should pop in and say hello :)

    So do most people like the 2 week deadlines our recent games have all used?

    I kind of miss when we had 72 hour days. Alternately, 1 week days would be a good compromise between "enough time to think and analyze" and "fast enough to not get bogged down."

    I think the only reason this game was 2 weeks was due to the very large player count (supposedly)?
