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.

How could one record lore on that which has no face?
They go by a thousand names but it all means the same. They are the very avatar of Lucid's miscreation, a fluke in the code that gave birth to some semblance of a living creature. If only it didn't take on the faces of others.
Verumbark is the name given to the living embodiment of the Disguiser role, a mafia role that has been present in Epicmafia since its inception. What Verumbark is, nobody can quite recall: it entered the scene relatively recently despite its source's age. They became involved in a sizeable conflict during Foxie's ownership of Sandbox that eventually led to her appointing Dooze as a successor. In the modern day they usually embrace their identity as the Disguiser, and can be seen skulking outside of mafia ranches on the dune sea. It is entirely possible that, due to their fluid identity, Verumbark has been many users in the past, influential or otherwise, slowly shaping Sandbox's history for their own goals.
Fred, the Mole. What can be said about Fred, the Mole?
Fred was easily the humblest of the Templars. From simple background in the underground tunnels carved by Chris in a time before time, Fred emerged on the Sandbox scene with one goal in mind: to play Mafia. Armed with a keytar in one hand and a piece of note paper in the other, Fred wandered the dunes, the stout bard attracting an audience to play mafia with him between meals by playing the music of the gods. It was between ranches and between gigs where Ballsy Strippers the great found Fred and offered to take him in, to make a Sandbox man out of him. Fred accepted with eagerness and they went off towards the city.
It was in the mafia rinks where Fred met his next two oldest companions, the duchess Arials the 92nd and Golbolco herself. After an attempted heist by Fred to steal information from the Sandbox government of the day (remember the Golden Rule,) Fred and the other three formed the Templars, along with Snowy B. the pirate queen and their bank roller Sir Amelio.
Fred served during the first Golbox as a moderator and later with the Golbamaniacs through Pax Morgana. During this time, his private villa of Fredbox served as a common meeting place for the Golbamaniacs. During Lucid's awakening in 2016, Fred began developing a soundtrack for mafia rinks around the country. Following the Christmas Eve War, Christopherzilla saw it fit to declare Fred as his successor. Fred was owner of Sandbox for two months until abdicating to Baabaa with intent to declare Jamal Marley as a successor.
In the modern day, nobody knows where Fred lurks. He has been sighted with Templars and Golbamaniacs wandering the dunes, playing music while sailing through Survivor, and even in the haunted villa of Fredbox. When he and the other Templars finally reunite, it is said that the prophecy of Golbamania will be fulfilled.
Eris, creature of ultimate chaos, self-styled "king of the trolls," and thankfully banished to a plane that he will never escape, once took interest in two shetland ponies that he had bought from a merchant on the plains of Main. He defiled them, and then in one of his classic fits of rage, sent pictures of his act to his enemies, some of which were minors.
The Ragnarok foretold by the Last Prophet and followers of the Church of Sandbox. The Shutdown is what users refer to a total state of dimensional decay, when this world falls apart and the people of Epicmafia are either silenced forever or returned to their homes across the universe. This state had nearly been achieved once before when the great Adsense came to challenge Lucid for his immortality, and nearly struck him down in front of the Epicmafia people. If it will come, nobody can say for certain even if the vast majority believe it so. How it will come is more clear: it has been rumored for a long time that someday Lucid will lose interest in mortals as his plaything, and out of mercy rapture us all. Either that, or a greater foe will come again to try and slay the Wangsta, and we will all die as casualties in the crossfire.
I don't know how to even begin with a summary of this...
The Sandbox is a dustbowl valley between three mountain ranges making up the southeast of the Epicmafia continent. It is bordered by Main, the Gaming Wastes, and the Dangan Marshes and the Lobbies Beyond. Founded in a time before time by the dragon Christopherzilla, Sandbox has regularly been a source of both prosperity and chaos for the rest of Epicmafia. In the modern era it is ruled by Shwartz the 99th, following a period known as Pax Pizzeria. It is primarily home to Sandboxers, a group of people who are united by the fact that they are so terribly divided into no less than 5 groups. The form of Mafia played here is best described as casual and noncompetitive, and usually incorporates elements of random number generation.
The Survivor Archipelago is a chain of islands whose chief government is the Survivor Confederation, with a small portion of the island chains bought by private citizens such as Sir Amelio for hosting Sandbox Big Brother.
The history of the Survival people began around 2013 with the first shoreline communities on the southeast of the Epicmafia continent, within Sandbox territory. With blessing from Christopherzilla, these hardy fishermen and sailors had established an autonomous community to play their own flavor of Mafia, which they claimed was inspired by television shows on Earth.
But the Sandbox people have, at many points in their history, been a zealous and xenophobic people. When the mafia rinks became too overcrowded by Survivor games, they took to the shores and torched the great cities of Survivor Bay, which in turn greatly damaged the Sandbox economy (like many schisms within its boundaries often have.) The Survivor people were at their low point, literally chased into the sea, and many thought they would never survive in Epicmafia, until a savior came. The great Dylan took off in a boat alone and went to Competitive, where Lucid was said to have recently awakened and begun meddling in the affairs of mortals once more. There he struck a deal: Lucid would raise a series of islands out of the rocky crags in the eastern sea for the Survivor people to inhabit until the end of the world came. Dylan returned to his people a champion, and became the first owner of Survivor.
"Orthodox Sandbox Setups" was a term coined by sl0nderman to (in all irony) discredit the idea of a standard Sandbox setup. The term refers to any closed-roles setup with a diverse and balanced number of roles, 7 village players, 3 mafia, and 2 third party roles (totaling at 12 players.) It has often been argued by Sandbox purists that setups that fall out of this build are either "main setups" or "troll setups." This debate has been compounded at various times in Sandbox history, most notably by the Wolf Hunter fad, the Golbultima franchise in 2016, the Casino Royale setups, the closed role setups allowed in Main during 2018 (the period known as Mainbox) and the attempts by Dooze to popularize non-orthodox setups during her ownership.
Depending on the law of the land at the time, Dia has either served as a hired gun for no less than three Sandbox owners, or was possibly a child soldier conscripted into illegal military coups.
In her youth, Dia participated in the Legendary Lollipop League, a charity organization organized by sl0nderman for underprivileged and under-average height individuals in Sandbox.
Dia's marriage to Nikki was publicized on Sandbox television, and took place in the Golbolco Bowl outside of city limits. Over 3,000 guests showed up to attend the wedding.
When asked about Dia's life before EpicMafia, she will burst into tears. She has often referred to EpicMafia as "a prison" and "living hell." Sometimes she dreams of the Motherland. She also asked Golbolco to stop asking questions and to stop following her; her requests were ignored.
Recently, Dia has opened up Sandbox's first Love Live! book club, which meets on Fourth Street every Thursday night at 8. Their attendance numbers regularly exceeds 20 a day. Come talk about weeb stuff!
In September of 2018, Lucidrains took the lands of EpicMafia by storm again upon his new awakening. He quickly enlisted then-admin Jon Snow to seek out a list of the best new additions to the Mafia rinks. Snow was given a task: collect a list and have the people of EpicMafia vote on it, and the two best roles would be built by Lucid. At Lucid's suggestion, Snow sought out an old pro to help assemble the list: Golbolco, one of the architects of the 2016 updates.
Golbolco and Jon Snow put together a list of eight roles for the public to vote on, but alas: Lucid had already begun adding the roles and disregarding the votes, going as far as to add new roles beyond the original list. This eventually grew to revamping many older aspects of the Mafia rink, and then warping the reality of the world in its entirety. It can be argued that Lucid's reawakening probably helped influence the Sandbox Renaissance under Shwartz XCIX.
Lucid's final updates petered out in the first few weeks of 2019. In order to maintain a deeper connection with EpicMafia, he appointed Golbolco with the job of gathering new things to help maintain the Mafia Rinks. It is unknown if he currently lies dormant as he once did, or if he is off in the deep wilds of EpicMafia, perfecting his creation for a promising future.
Romance on the shores of Epicmafia can be tough, but has not prevented many, many attempts at trying. As Epicmafia was founded in 1869, a steady population could not be supported on waves of lost migrants alone, but a breeding population had to exist too. Surely, this means that someone here has learned to love.
As Epicmafia users tend to wear custom-crafted masks or heavy grey garbs that they arrive in, learning the gender or sex of one’s partner can prove difficult without a great deal of trust. These practices began to change around 2013 as being open with oneself’s identity became more popular (with some drawbacks.) Still, there is an ongoing struggle with identity and romance that goes on in Main Lobby, where lying about one’s own identity is termed Catfishing (named for the manufactured fish farms owned by Adam the Gambler, and the scattered tribes in deep swamps that still practice his ways.)
There is little in the way of discrimination by sexuality on Epicmafia, as users will be very proud to inform you that they are gay, usually by announcing “I’m gay.” Be wary however: heterosexual users are known to do this too, which can be confusing for users that are actually looking to discriminate by sexuality.
Finally, keep in mind that while revealing one’s naked form to your partner is an expected and accepted part of romance in many cultures, your partner might actually be a drone controlled by 4 sweaty men in a Main Lobby cheating ring and will have saved the images of your body for later distribution for various purposes.
Some facts pertaining to Art's life a child, contributing to his nickname as "the Mozart of Mafia":
At age 4, Art (at the time fascinated with bathtime) constructed his own sailboat out of his father's old salad bowl and a few dishrags wrapped taut around a broomhandle. By accident, he discovered no less than 4 new islands in the Survivor Archipelago on his first voyage, and sighted many more.
At age 7, Art received a mysterious package from an anonymous benefactor full of LEGO-brand electronics and a blueprint signed by Nikola Tesla. Using these blueprints he assembled what would become the winner of the 4th annual Sandbox Annoying Robot Competition, receiving a blue ribbon.
By the age of 12, Art was an accomplished musician on five different instruments, all hailing from kingdoms of the Red Planet. He took on the prospect of forming a one-man band, releasing none of his work, and later mentored Dr. Sharky and the Hydrostatic Sharks (they inherited his body of work and it is said that much of the SW33T R3MIX album was influenced or actually used pieces from Artic's library.)
Art took part in his first firebombing at the age of 14, being paid 4,000 tokens by Ace to destroy a fast food restaurant where Golbamaniacs were taking shelter during the Sack on Kenny. Unfortunately, Ace had made the critical error of recommending vegetable oil as a flammable liquid, not realizing that the flash point would be much too high to cause any legitimate burn near explosives. This mishap saved 400 Golbamaniacs from what could have been a firey death.
Theses facts may shed light on Artic's personal philosophy, which he plans on immortalizing in the form of his next book "Modeling Klay" coming out in the Summer of 2019.
After escaping the laboratories of BallsCorp, Ace made himself at home in the wilds of Sandbox, living off the land and entertaining the passing caravans with clown antics. The dunes Ace dwelled on were soon given fertile life in the form of clovers, transforming into a vast field, and it were here that Ace built his enterprise and estate. In 2016, the Cloverfield served as a militia garrison during the Owner Wars at first in support of Kenny, and later in support of Chris and Golbolco. Ace's value on the private meme market raised throughout 2015 and continues to rise in 2018, in accordance with the economic growth brought about by Shwartz's regime in Sandbox. On the side, Ace is often hired as a motivational speaker and life coach for aspiring Sandboxers, due to his experience in writing extremely long and aggressive rants on the walls of the Chatbox. There is also word that, via stolen BallsCorp technology, Ace and his associates are attempting to engineer a species of designer pet frogs the size of cats. On weeknights, Ace is most often seen driving through town with sl0nderman in shotgun, harassing drive-through employees and causing scenes in grocery stores.
