FORMAT
Teams consist of three players
Three games will be run simultaneously, each populated by one player from each team
The size of each game equals the number of teams entered
7 Teams => Micros
9 Teams => Small Minis (e.g. Off the Grid)
12 Teams => Regular Minis
More Teams => Normals
Game deadlines will be 2 weeks for Days, 48 Hour Nights. They may be shortened.
Role PMs will be randomly assigned to all players (i.e. teams will not choose their role PMs, and there is no guaranteed distributiion of alignments).
The team that wins the most games wins overall. I am open to ideas of how to break ties.
SIGNING UP
Sign ups will run for 1-2 weeks, and a lot depends on the demand. I will place a nominal cap of 16 teams, but more realistically we need to hit 7 in order to run real games.
You can sign up as a team or as a free agent. Full teams will be given priority, so Free Agents are recommended to actively find or create a team. If sign ups peter out and we can hit a game-size threshold with it, I will randomly create teams from Free Agents.
No Hydras. No Gimmicks. No Alts.
Information required for sign ups:
As a Team
Team Name
Team Captain
List of Team members
Each team member must also confirm participation
As a Free Agent
Any information that might help you get selected for a team
Remember to close/edit your post if you join a team.
You may also use the #lonely-hearts channel of the MTGS Mafia discord for LFT posts
As a Dedicated Replacment
Availability for replacing
As a Mod/Assistant
I will require 1-2 game moderators and helpers, especially if we get above 7 teams.
Would ideally have a setup that fits 7, 9, or 12 people that we can use.
Given the exhibition nature of this event, higher sportsmanship standards than usual will apply. This means we will be significantly less tolerant on toxic or unpleasant behaviour.
These are open to discussion before the event starts.
Communication
Teams may freely communicate in their private channel - this specifically allows talking about ongoing Team games and talking after death
Teams will be provided a QT and/or a Discord channel as their private channel. They may also use MTGS PMs.
Please only use provided channels. Some sideband is allowed (e.g. face-to-face), but keep most of it official.
Players may copy/paste anything they want into their private channel. Players may NOT copy/paste anything OUT of their private channel.
All Team private topics WILL be made public post-game, unless a team opts-out.
All scum chats will also be made public and this cannot be opted out of
There will be a dead chat. Teams will be granted access as a whole once none of their members are active in a team game (through death or games ending)
Talking About Other games
This section applies to public, in-game communication AND Mafia Chat - not to private team channels
Players are only allowed to talk about mod-confirmed things from other ongoing Team Mafia games.
Examples:
Stating who is on what team.
Stating what Day or Night another game is in.
Stating how many players are left alive on a team.
Stating how many town or scum are alive in another game.
Stating whether a dead player in another game has flipped town or scum.
Players may NOT speculate about or comment on events and actions in other games
Players may NOT attempt to signal or communicate with another game
Players may NOT publicly declare alignment reads on players in other games
Players may NOT suggest directly or indirectly that any members of their team are not Town (unless they are mod-confirmed dead and flipped)
Players may NOT discuss the content of their private communication channels (or just not naming players?)
Do not try to loophole these rules. If anyone has questions at any point about what is allowed or not allowed please message me
Replacements
Teams are responsible for their own Replacements
If you deem a replacement necessary, you MUST PM Ecophagy before performing the replacement
The moderator of a game may also force replace a player due to inactivity or any other reason - this will come with a penalty to the team if tiebreakers are involved.
Replacements may NOT include anyone who has been involved in another team
Players who have been replaced out will be removed from the private communication channel and are NOT permitted to post
With the teams so far and the Shadowlancer/tom/empoof team, we have smashed our minimum goal of 7 teams in only two days, and sit at 9 - which means we will at least be playing small Minis (which would probably come off our Grid). 3 more teams to full 12-player Minis!
I'm also super excited to see lots of new faces make the jump, hopefully this will be a really exciting event!
I don't mind being any of free agent, mod/helper (probably prefer this most? Might need a rundown of how to use the votecounting app), or replacement. Will be V/LA for the rest of this week, however.

I'll take you up on that modding request unless you receive an offer you can't refuse.
KoolKoal: Feel free to take this with a grain of salt since self meta isn't particularly helpful, but I think I get scumread mostly for style over substance, but also for a certain lack of substance over style. It's not so much what I AM posting most of the time (though sometimes that can seem bad) but what I'm NOT posting. I've been told I come to non-obvious conclusions a lot, so when I post, quite a bit of the time there's jumps in logic that people can't follow and they think that's scummy. I get that accusation about a lot of questions I ask specifically. People call them "busy work" when the questions are legit etc.
As far as things to ignore, I can't think of anything. I would suggest you focus less on what I'm doing and more on how I'm doing it. That's probably more likely to be accurate. Like I've just said, what I do tends to come off a little weird, but if you look for how I do it, mindset comes into play and maybe you figure out something useful.

Finalizing team name and whatnot then will sign up. @Eco I'm assuming this won't start before Monday, correct?

Unlikely, but I'd advise you to sign up sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.

We might need a replacement for blackjak btw. Send me your application via PM or quote me ITT if you think you can hang.
