I have to admit that I don't have too high expectations for myself. I suppose I might have an advantage in that I'm used to fast-paced games without OOTC and a lot of reps aren't.

[Red Blaster]

You've got this!

[thesunfan]

One of the reps recognized the name FFR and said he's the brother of Yessssss, who is an old name on FFR that I don't really recognize other than he played a few games of TWG (that roundbox and Manti might remember).

Wow... small world sometimes

Hi guys

You may already be up to date on this, but I thought I'd pop in with new information about your representative.

They have been been scheduled for the game below.

Game 6 - June 6 (36/12 phases, American deadlines)
7-Zark-7 (ARS Technica)
Arsenalex (MensTennisForums)
Augustus (Jesus Toast Mafia)
digitaldude (Manga Helpers)
FCD (VGCW Official Forum)
Jackofhearts2005 (HeroClix Realms)
madchemist (Paradox Interactive Forums)
Malcolm (DuelistGroundz)
Max Payne (Metal Gear Solid Forums)
Moliere (Octopus Overlords)
Nimbus (One Piece Bay)
Penz0rman (Bodybuilding)
Sloonei (Rate Your Music)
Sunbae (Mafia Universe)
tbane5 (American Hattrick org community)
The Sun Fan (Flash Flash Revolution)
Xardob (TaleWorlds)

The game is taking place on Mafia Universe.

I want to talk about and spectate the game - what do I do?

If you wish to actively spectate and show support for your representative, then there are two ways of doing this.

1) There will be a private spectator thread on the site for each game that you may request access to. Simply register on the site and PM the user "Thingyman", and I will add you. Feel free to spectate games that your representative isn't in as well. These threads are published after the game completes.

2) We have a spectator chat on Skype, with currently more than 200 people in it. It's very active and fun, I highly suggest you join it if you have Skype. It's way more active than the on-site ones. Just add me: thingyman.

None of these two chats/threads will be spoiled!

Finally, we kindly ask that you refrain from commenting too much on the games in public on this forum, as the other representatives will easily be able to find and read through this (as has happened in the past). I can't control what you do here, but out of respect for the integrity of this Championship, it's best if you don't discuss your reads on your representative or the other players or make comments that could potentially indicate your reads. I.e. even something like "oh man, our representative is totally being his usual self right now" is not good. Speaking very generally about what has happened so far in the game (so as to update your fellow community members) without commenting on it is fine though.

I hope this doesn't seem too strict to you guys, but the game can become very uncomfortable (and unfair) if there is discussion about it outside of the game thread. If you want to have your own private spectator chat, that is of course also totally fine and I even encourage it (I'd love to be added if you make one of these)

I wish your representative and your community all the best of luck for this season!

sup fam!!! Mashi here and about to tell you how my boyfriend sunfan (aka tsundere-chan) is gonna LAY DOWN THE LAW when it comes to TWG. Bcs his bio got lost or smthing idk.
But the last time I played with him was like a year ago so lol, I hope this is all accurate!!!

One special quality about sunfan is that he's perfect. And modest too! He's somewhat lacking in confidence about his TWG aptitude (even though his track record begs to differ), but perhaps that's because he has a strong introspection and solid understanding of his strengths and weaknesses. Chances are that if he has evidence for something and isn't feeling confident about it, he's right!

In my opinion, sunfan is strongest when he's Human (don't misunderstand - his Wolf performances are top-notch too), because his detective abilities are almost unmatched compared among those I've played with. I feel he's very self-conscious about all his thoughts, and very perceptive with regard to understanding another Player's mindset in the game (which might be entirely different from his own). If you're a Wolf, watch out! Because he's going to pull some endgame BS-epiphany-read shenanigans that'll get you caught!

Regarding his Wolf performances, he does a good job emulating his Human actions. I think I have an intuition about when to suspect him (I don't always end up lynching him, but when he's a Wolf, there's usually an uneasy feeling inside of me about him by midgame). Though, there might be one Wolf-tell he sort of makes sometimes...

What's that? You were expecting me to say what it was? Don't be frivolous, of course I won't say!

I think sunfan's strongest suit is mechanics - always when I play with him, he knows exactly what every Role ought to do, when to false claim, and other related stuff. And it doesn't seem to me that he even actively thinks about it, it's as if it all comes natural to him; I always pretend like I'm as quick-thinking as him and blindly agree with whatever he says whenever we're in a live TWG! Maybe you will too when you're AWED by his impeccable logic!!!

Regardless of his Role, he's probably going to devote a billion hours to the game, time-permitting. I don't think that activity is anything telling about him necessarily - he's likely to be an active voice. I don't feel that sunfan is necessarily a domineering presence, but if time calls for it, he'll take the role of leading voice in a discussion if it comes to it.

Miscellaneous: In my VERY FIRST TWG with sunfan, he (and others) mislynched me when I claimed a Special Role (though, he did start having second thoughts near the end of the Day Phase), and then proceeded to lynch the remaining Wolves at MYLO. Classic sunfan.

Oh, another thing about sunfan!!! Did you know that the sun in sunfan is actually Chinese??? sunfan is actually Chinese for 很好, which is Chinese for hen hao, which is pinyin for sunfan!

Also, I've neglected to say so thus far, but sunfan isn't just some random sunfan! He's THE sunfan. Sort of like how Stephanie Beard is THE sugarbaby!

Did you know that sunfan saved my life from a gang once? They were gonna shoot me in the face, but sunfan jumped in the way, took the hit, and then SMASHED the guys on the ground! He's my hero!!!

He even beat up a trillion lions once! For the Sun's sake ofc.

Speaking of, the fan in sunfan is a literal fan. He's literally fanning the Sun. Like, right now. While he's playing. He's trying to cool it off. No, really, I'm right next to him watching. You go, sunfan!

tl;dr - All you need to know about sunfan summed up in one neat video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pqKiOZdI40
There's a secret message in there about sunfan - you're going to have to watch the whole thing if you want to find it!
