Overview
This is the second edition of my Cosa Nostra Tournament. For the first, see here: viewtopic.php?t=89325
The tournament will consist of 4 rounds of automatic, sequential, terminator, escalating, chained, sunny games and one final round which is standard and flat. Player elimination varies round to round, please see detailed description before for more info. Freemiums welcome as long as they keep 1 game slot open. Players will have 48 hours to join their games after invitations have been sent out.
Background
It's been nearly 20 years since Don "ghirrindin" Monaco became Capo di tutti Capi, successfully leading his Chicago mafia family in a ruthless war against the Bonacusso family in New York. Since then his power base has extended greatly, encompassing not only the old turf in Chicago but also that of his former rivals in New York. Being the top dog in organized crime gave the Monaco family a distinct edge in securing control of the emerging casino capital of Las Vegas. As a result, the family's coffers are overflowing with wealth and no one dares challenge the Don's authority. However, the Don is getting old and soon the reigns of power will pass on to another. Don Monaco has chosen his son, "ghirrindin" (Jr.), as his successor, but his word is good only as long as he's still breathing. Could you be the next Don? Prove that you've got what it takes to be both a ruthless enforcer and a steady earner for the family and maybe it'll be you calling the shots...
Structure
