As Epicmafia currently resides in a waning phase, I thought there might be some value (however small) in finally compiling and historicizing its history. I began this project a few weeks ago by posting silly writeups on certain people's profiles, and at the request of a few I am ready to begin taking requests and going public with the project.

The Snowday Era roughly stretches between 2010 and 2012. Often called "the Wild West of Epicmafia," this was a period of rapid growth marked by Channish immigration and activity from Lucid. It is named for Snowday, a popular troll who often made the rounds in Training, Competitive, and Sandbox, and was a huge influence on those that followed in his footsteps. Many of the old greats come from this period, and some of the most infamous denizens of Epicmafia have an unbroken lineage traced to here.
Moonlight Seal is a first-generation Dangan of Vietnamese descent and one of the few first-gens who are still active. He has often been a champion for weeb rights in the mafia rinks and an advocate for unorthodox setups. Moonlight is a beloved member of the Sandbox community and it would be a sore loss were he to disappear as he once nearly did.
In September of 2018, Yellow Pear was imbued with modship and stripped of it within only a few weeks. Pear was mostly relegated to sweeping through Sandbox crimes (whatever few were left to work on) and was mostly accepted by the Sandbox community. However, Yellow Pear had failed to live up to the standards of the other mods with a lack of communication, and thus when ties were about to be severed, Pear unfurled a piece of cosmic graffiti for all of Sandbox to look at. Up in the sky, emblazoned in yellow, read "yellowpear rules." The mods took such offense to this (despite Dooze showing no resistance) that Pear was immediately demodded and publicly shamed. Pear profusely apologized and has declined to comment at this time, preferring to focus on her private business.
A long, long, time ago, Sandbox was ruled by dinosaurs. They were big, so not a lot of people went around hassling them. Basically, life was good. Then, something happened: a lucid rain struck the earth! Goodbye, games in Sandbox! But what if the games weren't all destroyed? What if the impact of that rain created a parallel lobby where the games continued to thrive and evolve into intelligent, vicious, and aggressive beings... just like us? And hey, what if they found a way back?
Games Lobby was founded in 2014 by Lucid, Chris, and Hood as part of a greater treaty resulting from the Competitive-Training merge. The treaty was to move all non-mafia games to a secondary nation to give more room to building mafia rinks. Games Lobby thrived for a good long time while Sandbox went through the tumultuous shake-ups of 2014 and 2015, but popularity had already begun to wane by the end of 2015. Revival and refugee movements resulting from the Owner Wars were commonplace until late 2017 when the last remnants of the permanent population and Hood's government disappeared. Now, it is in a dry season and rightly called the Gaming Wastes as Russians, Noavis, and Weebs move through to reach Sandbox's outer borders.
"Datguiser" is an incantation used in ancient times by witches to swap bodies with another person, or "steal their password" as it is put in common tongue. Any other use is unknown to this database.
Meow Meulin is a small-time player on the private meme trade, but a large influence nonetheless. Meulin's network stretches far in the underground, synthesizing memes from multiple sources before releasing them back onto the market. Right now, Meulin lives in one of the cliff-houses on the mountain range between Sandbox and Main, in a commune formerly founded by Xfire 1994.
Associate is a sports commentator and talking head most well-known for his backing of the Kenny regime through 2015 and the early part of 2016. Associate can usually be found at the mafia rinks where he gives sometimes scathing but honest reviews of competitors and strategies; he is widely considered to be one of the most serious players in Sandbox outside of Ruiyang.
In the middle of 2016, there was a trend of choose-your-own-adventure plays becoming popular in the Forum. It began with Ben's critically acclaimed but short-lived "Sandbox Quest," whose ending is one of the most controversial in media history. EpicSides was thoroughly offended by it in his review of the play, and set out to make a spiritual successor called "Epic Sandbox Quest." This quest was short-lived too, but ended on a cliffhanger where EpicSides proclaimed he would eventually return to finish the act. It's been more than a year since his announcement.
Once upon a time, a group of Sandbox citizens decided to get together and participate in the popular sport of building brown bricks. It was all well and good for many months, until people stopped showing up to the meetings. Eventually the remaining members went public, and the game's popularity boomed in Sandbox! The game took a radical direction, however, and many members chose to leave after the plot of land used to play the game was vandalized. They lived happily ever after.

The Policy wasn't always directed at Noavis. It began as a practice in Competitive City (later incorporated with Training to form Main Lobby) in order to eliminate players from the town that were considered to be a burden to the village's chance of winning. The earliest reference to the practice appears to be 2013, but it is undoubtedly much older. The practice was outlawed in Competitive and Main, but persisted in Sandbox due to lax enforcement of game code. The practice slowly evolved from targeting "bad" players to Noavis, as the line of thought was that Noavis (as they are usually new to Epicmafia and therefore inexperienced) would only serve to hold back the game. Unfortunately, Noavis had not done much to combat this prejudice, and most ended up leaving Sandbox as soon as they became targets of abuse. Despite efforts from people like Golbolco or Alyssa to push back against the Policy, it had remained popular until the effects became visible around the start of the European Ban. Now there is nobody left to policy lynch, and Sandbox lacks newcomers.

Jacob Johntwo, also known as "Little Pliss" is a mafia rink regular starting his career in 2012. His name, often used as a pejorative, stems from his tendency to create experimental setups; ironic, as that was part of why Sandbox was founded by Chris and Lucid. You can find him at the mafia farms southwest of Sandbox at least once a week, where he works hard and trains for the next game or experiments with new setups, often incorporating custom roles.
The twelve labors and Holy Doings of Lord Jamal Tiberius Marley must also be included!
The Twelve Labors and Holy Doings of Lord Jamal Tiberius Marley are a legendary set of feats attributed to Jamal Marley by the Marley Manuscript, a document adopted by most followers of Jamal as his canonical holy book. Not all of these labors have been historically verified, but all of them have folk legends and myths surrounding the acts themselves. The acts are as follows:
I. The war on the Fourth Reich as waged by the Robloxian Army II. The unification of the four largest Robloxian nations III. The purification of Uma Kompton IV. The exodus to Epicmafia V. The expulsion of the adipose VI. Bedraggling the gossip VII. Tying the Final Noose, for which he is called Eight-Inch Lynch VIII. Revealing the Clique IX. Charity for the Role Patrol X. Governance of Sandbox, laying the foundations for the Sandbox Sultanate XI. Slumber in Lucid's Image XII. Plisskenomachy
Whether or not you believe in Jamal's labors or his so-called miracle work is up to you to decide.
Nikki de la Pingouin has been a dutiful member of Sandbox society since 2011. Her greatest contribution to Epicmafia as a whole was the invention of the Penguin role for a Christmas competition devised by Lucid. She is paid a small fee in royalties for the use of this role, whose copyright protection runs out in 2020. On her weekends, Nikki lives on a climate-controlled iceberg to the south of the mainland, served by her very own flightless birds.
