This is the official sign-up thread for the beta testing season of the MTGS Mafia League. Sign-ups will close 2 weeks from now.
The Mafia League is a series of six mafia games for league players. To join the league you must commit to playing three of the six offered games. You can play more (and there are incentives for playing more), but three is the minimum. If you play more than the required amount, the new score (if better) will replace your lowest scoring game.
During the game a group of six judges will be paying attention to your play. After the game is over, scores based on the included rubric will be given out. Only the maximum score is listed. You will also receive an "outsider review" summarizing why you got that score and details on how you can improve in future games.
Scores will be determined on a per player basis. It is entirely possible for a person with an awesome Day One who gets Night Killed that Night could get a higher score than a player with poor performance who lives to the end of the game. We realize that since roles are randomized and play is subjective, there is no concrete and objective way to outright judge performance. So, in the spirit of this we will only be tabulating your three highest scores to determine your ending league score. This is the reward for playing more games.
League games will follow the commonly accepted rules of Mafia. If you show unsportsmanlike conduct, replace out in two league games, or are modkilled in two league games for rules violations, the judges have the right to disqualify you from future League games. This is a friendly competition for bragging rights and a trophy next to your screenname; this is not an ugly bar-room brawl for the brass ring. Please play as such.
The Pre-season of the League is meant to hammer out any problems that only crop up while playing. Think of it as the 'beta testing' phase. So while your score will have relevance in the future, it will not be guaranteed to be 100% bug free.
Not interested in League play? There are other opportunities to participate. We are currently looking for hosts, setups, and replacements.
If you are just looking for a good game with good players, non-league participants will be allowed in league games! If you find after two league games that you wish to join the league, judges are willing to retroactively judge your performance in previous league games you participated in.
If you want to run a League game as a Host, our "Mod-Judge" will Co-host the game with you. The Co-host will be as hands on as you desire; she/he can fully run the setup for you or just be a back-up in the case you can't run it anymore. This is to allow everyone who would have previously submitted to the PCQ to still get a chance to host while still maintaining the integrity of the League game. If you're interested in submitting a League setup for review, PM any of the listed judges or the bookkeeper. Make sure you get a response to acknowledge it was received.
Replacements into a League game get a small bonus to their score to catch them up to other players and a little extra as a token of appreciation.
If you are interested in playing in the league, please post here. If you have reservations, questions, comments, or concerns please post those here as well.
Thank you for your participation and support!

I honestly think you play much better than you give yourself credit for. Aside from a few off the wall decisions, you're a solid player, or at least have the potential to be. Like I said, Darkhorse. Plus, that's a great movie.

Posting to express interest, but not actually getting in yet. Life is currently giving me time to play, but I'm not sure if that is going to be continuing long-term. If it does, I will certainly get in on this league in the not-too-distant future.
Replacements are being handled in that non-League players are being permitted to join League games, though League players have priority to join games. Players will receive a score penalty for replacing out and a score bonus for replacing in.

Void's my darkhorse bet to win the damn thing.

Darkhorses remind me of Sleepy Hallow.
