I don't believe I ever actually got to play forum mafia with Glork but he was widely known to be one of the greats. He and his family made a real impact on this community through mafia, moderating, discussion, and through meet hosting and I'm grateful to have known them all. No photo but Happy Green Shirt Thursday
Also love Glork. He sent me a signed-by-him foil Deathmask Nezumi (signed as "vote cow. Xoxo Glork") when I bought a handful of other Magic cards from him, and it is in a place of pride in my collection at this point.
Wore a green shirt today.
Hascow/Cow are good shortened names, never "Has" ("hasd" is
If you've ever discussed any number of controversial topics here or on the Discord and wondered "Wow, nobody has cursed me out and called me a slur yet", today is your day to thank the team trying their best to make sure that remains the status quo. The role has changed over the years (the number of reports we get weekly used to be what we were getting DAILY) and expanded (Discord is purple territory too!), but the passion of the Discussion Moderation Team to keep this site a safe and fun place to discuss issues of the day remain.
So let's give our thanks to the worst (one of the few mods left to predate me on the team!), thestatusquo, and Ydrasse!
This is a particularly important Day because I am the first Purple Mod to ever ascend to the ranks of Admin*!
*In so much as there have been two new admins since the color code was instituted and Zor was a Green.

crazy how such great communities are always run by volunteers, thank all of you, discmods but the others too (even if we might get a day for them later idunno)
The work week may have ended, but that just means you all have some time to devote to improving the site, right?
Today, I'd like to call on all users to make an effort to contribute to the site in some way, large or small. Pick an entry or three on MafiaWiki and make it/them really fantastic. See anything on the site that needs to be cleaned up? Let us know! It can even be something as simple as creating a new post in Mafia or General Discussion that prompts interesting conversation!
This is also a great day to volunteer for ongoing site projects too! If you a talent or passion for art or graphics (or making merchandise I guess), we are looking to get our Art & Merchandise Group going and Save the Dragons, the appointed director of that effort, would love to have you. Followed my advice and did a little work on the Wiki and think you'd like to keep that going? Let TemporalLich know! And if you think you'd be an asset to planning and writing for the Scummies going forward, Ircher is ready and waiting to take your call.
And if you REALLY want to win the day and have skill with search engine opimization, the site team's reach greatly exceeds their grasp when it comes to making sure Mafiascum is the best it can be on this front and would greatly welcome your assistance!

As cynical as I have gotten at points and as out of touch as I feel to where I don't think I deserve it anymore, I do recommend any who still have the passion for mafia to get involved since I genuinely believe the future of the site should be put into the hands of those with that passion and drive to do those things.

As we come to the end of the first week of International Mafia Month 2025, I'm sure we are all looking forward to what the rest of the month will bring. But we also ought to look even further than that! Today is for thinking about how we can make Mafiascum.net even better in the future. What would you like to see on the site in the coming year? What could we do differently?

We have forums for these things, too! Mafia Discussion for site meta.
Site Ideas for administration efforts.
Volunteer for the NRG to impact the way Normals influence the site!
The SSC has the potential to shape the awards every year!
While many things are done the way they are for good reason (we've had 20 years to improve on and 'perfect' a lot of this, so a lot of the established practices are there because they are the best anyone has thought of in 20 years of trying), there's always some room for new ideas and tweaks and improvements!

We worked hard for "Do Some Work, You Slackers!" Day, so I figured it's time to play. Today is all about celebrating our community through a couple of casual games.
1. Contribute to a Community Crossword
To participate, simply reply with any number of crossword-style clues that hint at MafiaScum users or terminology (e.g. roles, Large Social Game Glossary terms, etc.). Please also provide the number of letters in the name/word. If we get enough of a collection of these to warrant it, I will generate a real puzzle from them.
Examples-
1) Illegitimate deity, known as the inventor of Dance Games [7]
2) Short loin beef cut [5]
3) Knighted birthday dessert [7]
2. Solve Scummer Pictograms
GeorgeBailey ran a great game back in 2021 with some assistance from Datisi based around MafiaScum users as pictograms. I have created just a few for today based on users who are currently active. Feel free to try your hand at these, and if you're super inspired, you could even post your own for us to try. I'll post an answer key in the thread later on.
Spoiler: Scummer Pictograms
Now, it's actually been long enough that even the people who played in GB's game might get replay value out of it, so I've collated it here for anyone who'd like to do for more pictograms-

Hey, are you social butterfly who knows everyone on the site? Or maybe you're just good with pictograms! Well then this game is for you!
I will post images on a table and you have to tell me which image represents what scummer. The pictures could be word-play, literal, or any of the other ones.
