    Seeing as the old thread (located here) is outdated and not updated, I've decided to start from scratch.

    Anyway, all current and important Mafia threads/sections will be placed here. This is not a complete list, more will be added as time goes on and some may be removed.

    They have been ordered in the following catergories:
    Guides: These are to either teach you the Mafia Game, or to teach you how to contribute to the Mafia community.
    Information: These are to provide the reader information on the Mafia game and community.
    Community Events: These are the current events which are occuring in the Mafia Community.
    Feedback: These are threads where you can leave feedback on Mafia and also get feedback.
    Tools: These are tools that can be used for the benefit of Mafia.
    Recreation: These are threads where you can simply discuss Mafia.

    Guides:

    Mafia Beginner's Guide
    A guide which teaches beginners the basics of Mafia.

    Information:
    Mafia Theme Documentation
    This shows everything related to Mafia thememaking. Though it lacks the examples of the guide, it does show full syntax and is useful if you already know how to code. It is however slightly outdated.

    FF Director's Commentary
    Run through of one of the earliest and most popular Mafia themes, by Narshen. Useful to get any sort of ideas if stuck when making a theme. Slightly outdated.

    A Guide To Marvel: Director's Insight
    The ex-MA Dark Phoenix gives a creator's insight and advice for every role in his Marvel theme. A comprehensive look at one of the more tricky themes. Outdated, as the theme has been changed since, but still useful.

    Approved Themes
    This section of the Mafia subforum shows all of the approved themes of the channel, and can be used as influence. Also can be used to report errors with Approved Themes on the channel.

    I believe it's still 5 needed for approve/reject. Even with 8 members. I could be wrong, but that is the amount themes have been needing.

    Are you allowed to apply for MA/QC or do you have to wait for an offer from an sMA?

    I don't think there are MA applications. Users are nominated and chosen in a private channel staff forum. However, I believe that there will be applications for QC in the near future, so keep an eye out for those.

    I suggest organizing the threads by their purpose (Theme Making, Learn to play, Rules, etc) instead of their type (Guides, Documentation, etc). It's way easier for people who are trying to find a specific information.

    That's not a bad idea in my opinion. I'll look into it.

    ...don't we already have QC applications?

    I could've sworn we do somewhere.

    I think that list of MA's is slightly outdated - not sure did JhenMohran tell me he got MA. Anyway, we should have a link to a list of common Mafia channels on PO eg. #RTM, #Mafia, #Mafia Social, #Jalmont Mafia, etc.

    You're allowed to apply for Wiki QC (which I did and now I'm UU QC :D) but I'm not sure about Mafia QC

    EDIT: Confirming that MA list is outdated (Katia isn't even MA anymore)
    Also, I just saw Windblown's new badge saying he's a Mafia QC so...
    EDIT2: As it turns out, you are allowed to apply for Mafia QC. Just PM an application to Beast or Water.
