Username: Thingyman Nickname(s): Thingy, Pump It Harders, Owen Wilson, Literally GOAT Rank/Position: Founder, Administrator Country: Denmark Brief bio (one paragraph): I'm a weird, yet lovable, guy from the great Viking country of Denmark. I love to sing, but am not good at it. I sometimes do stand up, but I insist on only sharing bad jokes in Discord. I wrote a thesis on Korean tv shows, so I got that going for me, which is nice. Why you joined/stay on the staff: I've made a mistake and there's no way out now. This site will, at minimum, last until we've found aliens on other planets and forced them to play here. It won't truly be Mafia Universe until then. I suspect we may already have one or two aliens amongst us though, but they might also just be Australians, I'm not sure. |

Username: Makaze Nickname(s): Mak Daddy, Maka, Mak, Bakaze, Akaz Rank/Position: Administrator responsible for Modbot and all forum features; resident Code Monkey Country: United States Brief bio (one paragraph): I am a self-taught programmer with interest in game theory, psychology, riddles, and problem solving. As NL would say: "I'm a wizard, Harry." Why you joined/stay on the staff: It all started when I watched my first Mafia Championship on 2+2 in 2015. I came from Serenes Forest, a Fire Emblem fansite that sent a representative. When I was trying to read the games on 2+2's website, I could not stand not having the ability to see full posts in search results. I figured the other players must be having trouble too. So I created a browser extension that shows full posts, and Thingyman liked it so much, he commended me. When he revealed he would love to move the Championship to his own site and server, I offered to help, knowing I could make it how he wanted. The rest is history. |

Username: Ampharos Nickname(s): Amy, Amp, Walrein, Mixolydia Rank/Position: Administrator, responsible for oversight of staff and day-to-day site operations Country: The Republic of Texas Brief bio (one paragraph): I started playing mafia in the far-off times of 2010, when I started playing on a little site called Epicmafia. We don't talk about those days. Nowadays I'm a professional video editor who dabbles in writing and programming on the side. When I'm not wrangling the rest of the people on this page, I'm probably either playing an unhealthy amount of video games, theorycrafting Yet Another Commander Deck, or annoying Voxxicus. Why you joined/stay on the staff: no one is qualified to replace me |

I stick around to still help out, but moreso because Mu has almost become a second home (albeit with a lot of revolving faces), and that i just wouldn't feel the same if i left. |
