Innovative Lobby

Purpose

Before I even start recruiting role moderators for this lobby, let me just reassure those of you interested that I am making this to sort of reintroduce how mafia once was in the past. I want competition, skills, people who are influential yet manipulative. In order to enforce that attitude, I have added prizes of my own (besides trophies.) I get bored of circle jerks and meta being used. Whether it's intentional or unintentional. Real life mafia is played with friends, yes, but it isn't necessarily revolved around circle-jerking or meta abuse.

Side Note: of course, with RL mafia, it's a lot harder to lie.

Approval

Not that I am trying to be biased. Honestly, I barely know anyone and I don't want to be seen as someone who is influenced by friendships in ranked games. I'm sure some of you feel the same way. Anyone can join, but you must be approved by a role moderator or myself and approval can take up to 30 minutes for the role mod team to discuss and review if you're known for trolling, cheating, or meta-abusing. All rules and regulations count. Here are rules that aren't mentioned in the over all site, but are also not limit to:

• Circle-Jerking: Depending on the setup player count, you are limited as to how many friends can play with you in a table. This is to stop any form of buddying or nonsense logic for players who aren't as familiar with the individuals in that particular table. For example: if a setup player count is 7-8, only two friends per table created. This excludes yourself. If it's a setup player count of 9, three friends are allowed, excluding yourself. I want to keep the table below 50%.
• Lack of Participation: There is zero tolerance for AFK or players who refuse to be active because they're not a PR. You are given three opportunities before being disqualified from a round. If you are caught intentionally AFKing or if you are ISPing for no valid reason, that game will be refunded and you will be written up and given an "invisible violation."

Prizes

In addition to trophies for players who participate and make it in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place, each player will be awarded prizes such as: $50 and $25gift cards for steam, psn, xbox, etc., for the 1st and and place winners, but if they don't want a gift card and perfer something else of the same prize, that can be discussed afterwards. 3rd place winner can either get 20 tokens or something of equal value to $5. As for 4th-10th place winners, I've yet to figure out exactly what I can offer you guys, but I won't let you leave empty handed! As rounds progress and if I see more and more people participating in competitive mafia and obeying the set rules for Innovative Lobby, there might be special rounds with a grand prize for 1st place. E.g.: Tickets + Stay at x place of your choosing for a weekend.

Side Note: I can't afford a week for you to stay out of the country or even in the US for more than the weekend, but I will make sure to provide you with a place close to friends and places to see. All of this is hypothetical though, so if it does not go well, then it won't happen.

Conclusion

I do apologize for the tl;dr, but this is why I haven't created the lobby. If I do not get over 50 votes for this lobby idea, then I won't waste money on a lobby that won't remain active and I won't be needing role moderators. If you're interested in being a role moderator (just in case) the you are more than welcome to PM me a brief explanation as to what makes you a competent moderator and why I should choose you. Again, don't BS it because I'll just delete your PM and not consider you. Thanks for reading and I hope I get a decent amount of people to create this lobby.
