Seems really suspicious.
You publicly submitted the personal details, I don't think it is unfortunately
Lol the phone call thing. Are you sure that sounds too funny
Yeah I mean from my POV that stuff should be visible. But if we're the only one complaining about it it's gonna stay that way. unless personal details were shared that you privately submitted (doubtful) they're in the right. Even if they weren't, they could just delete the jury chat and claim compliance that way.
Yes, I literally couldn't mention it during the game because of the heavy warnings I was getting for "talking about things outside the game."

Either way I believe this is digression from an original point that could have merit. It'd be fun to run something here but we need regular players first.
And people who want to play arepocalypse and run around convincing people to sign up for a game they likely will not enjoy
I have no problem doing that.

That would be really awesome. All we really have to do is get the Mafia Ball rolling for now then
Clearly they don't take this anywhere near as seriously as they claim to be. They're hiring jurors that couldn't care less and would probably happily take bribes for advancements.

I think the moderators probably blacklisted benny due to his comments about competitive mafia. The reality is this is a tournament by/for friends. They chat and sānāiāgāgāeār in their spectator chat at the players they brought from other sites into the first round, then vote all their buddies into the real "championships" to validate that they are all the best mafia players.
It's very masturbatory and not really a surprise on a website that asks members to display their sexualities so prominently that their form of mafia has become perverted like this. (Ironic considering benny, as a straight white male, was moderated for mentioning his own sexual interlude with a Spanish woman - in a game-relevant context no less - while the others parade their gay flags on every post and write entire novels about their strange poly-something-or-other.)
But sexuality aside - I do think they saw Benny's genuine engagement with the idea of a skill-based, competitive mafia tournament as a bit of a threat (Hence the ridicule of such an idea in spectator chat) to their idyllic little world of protecting everyone's feelings, voting through sub-optimal players because they are popular, and being gay. The suggestion that you might actually have a tournament to find the most high-skill mafia player of all time disrupts their safe space.
The path forward is quite clear to me - there's only one thing to do, only one thing we can do: Host a real Mafia Championship with all the best mafia players. Play by the real rules of mafia (no actioning people for hurting others' feelings lol). And source the best mafia players from all the best mafia websites. Benny, we are behind you in this. Just let us know what you need

Haha. I was just checking spectator chat to see what they were writing about the jury votes and this summarizes exactly what I was saying in the previous post
The "Mafia Championship" is in fact not a championship. It is a fun little entertainment event for friends and to get attention for their mafia website.
Round 1: The Jester Show: Players are brought from other sites for the entertainment of The Royal Court. Spectator chat chuckles.
Round 2: The Bad News: Unfortunately, it is determined that the players are Very Low Skill. An impartial jury determines only MU players know how to play mafia
Round 3 (presumed): Mafia Masturbation Sex Orgy. Everybody is gay

Someone make motel reservations in Santa Rosa, California; all players should be sequestered and on monitored internet to thwart attempts at cheating.
All players should be fed the same diet to ensure there's no out of game nutrition advantage.

I think diet asymmetry is part of the game of mafia. You guys should not pursue "fairness" too far - at the end of the day some of us are just more gifted (in a variety of ways). Read Harrison Bergeron
