OrangeP47 Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Hey everyone, we've been invited to Season 8 of Mafia Championship! Given I'm about to start a new job and I'm gonna be super busy, I probably can't do it this time. I say we send Shade, but we can discuss possible options here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Jys9pqrKSpZ3hEX17iuu4mtoG-c_7YbgHRTK0pAZCUQ/edit This doc is the invite, and has a link to this year's setup. Seems like it has a fairly balanced set of roles, some power roles and vanilla, so it's not mountainous at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeP47 Posted April 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 You could probably handle it Jeod assuming you don't have a substitute teaching assignment at the same, and be sure to read their forum rules too because they're much stricter about things like "Don't reference your role PM" etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The first round runs from May 10 through early July, so there's some leeway with the dates if you want to try. After accepting you basically get linked to a big Doodle form where you list your availability and there's plenty of times to choose from so assuming your not like booked solid you could probably make it work. Game 1 starts May 10 so if you want to squeak something in fast we can rush this through and see if you can get posted to that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeP47 Posted April 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 And like, even if you're really unsure about what times specifically will be open, you can always swap games once signed up too, they allow that and generally people are pretty friendly about being accomedating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to be the guy who has to drop out due to life events. In perspective: my substitute gig only goes on for a few more weeks before summer break. Last week I was contacted by a recruiter for a potential IT gig. I am going to either spend the summer earning my teaching certificate in prep for fall or be working a new IT job, or worst case scenario be working wherever and whenever I can because neither my wife nor I have gainful employment. Her position is changing to full-time, but as a result her employer is interviewing her again along with other candidates who may be more qualified--so she could either go from PT to FT or go from PT to nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yeah, mine technically wasn't that bad, I already had the job, they just needed proof of one specific thing which I had to track down myself (took 3 hours after it took them 2 weeks) but it delayed getting some other critical paperwork filed that could have been worked on in the intervening time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
