EDIT: The Mafia Championship!

[JonathanCrazyJ]

Well OK, dd goes then.

We voted, dd won. If he wants to go, he goes, doesn't really matter if he thinks he shouldn't have won or whatever, the fact is, the community voted for dd to go, so if he is willing and able, he should go.

[JonathanCrazyJ]

Oh, and votes are changing because the poll was re-opened because we thought you didn't want to go.

Seriously. DD goes.

[ddevans96]

I won't be playing, so good luck to Demagog, and/or Linkcat if it comes down to that.

If voting is going to continue, however...I would strongly advise people to read up on Mafia 52. Just saying.

[Linkcat]

The Mafia 52 thread is an incomplete picture. I'll gladly give anyone who asks the behind-the-scenes explanation.

If I happen to get more votes than Demagog by the end of the deadline, I think we should ignore that and go with my original suggestion, as it would be an incomplete vote due to the rest of the votes on dd that could potentially be reallocated to either one of us.

[Demagog]

Go ahead and send Link. The more I think about it, the less comfortable I am representing a community I'm not active in.

[JonathanCrazyJ]

Screw it, lets send me. I mean, the top two people we voted for don't want to play, so we might as well have someone play who wasn't in the poll at all

(Not actually suggesting me, just that this whole thread has been a quite excellent meta-mafia farce. To the extent I'm half expecting Kuro to announce that this is all Lore, and Day 1 is about to start of Mafia 59: Mafia of Mafias)

[Linkcat]

Demagog, if you don't change your mind by the deadline, would you still like to be the alternate? Same question to dd.

[Demagog]

Nah, the idea of playing is enticing but it should be a current community member, alternate or not. I do appreciate the support I got though.

Do it publicly. The entire situation was shady and it warrants absolute, transparent truth. As far as I'm concerned, you helped sabotage a game. Best-case scenario, your actions were acceptable, if borderline. That's not a best-case I would be comfortable supporting without some discussion.

And no, I will not be an alternate. I tried to pass on an honor to someone I respected and a mockery was made of my actions. I will have no part of representing this community as a mafia player after these affairs. At this point our only option is to send you.

[Thingyman]

I need a clear answer today as to who is going, if at all possible

[Demagog]

We are sending Linkcat.

[Linkcat]

I really didn't want to win this way. Even though I was only your third choice, it's an honor to represent this community in such an amazing event. Thank you to all who supported me. I promise to play my best.

I'm really sorry you feel that way. I only had the best of intentions.

I had no idea you were still upset about 52. I'll get on that after I get permission from rob to share relevant PMs.

I refrained from voicing this opinion while you were in the running, and my respect for you from the early mafia days has grown.

It's good to see you sign up as a host. We've also got a mafia coming up from our most respected host, RootRanger. I'm sure the game would be more enjoyable with you participating.
