Site Update -- 08/25/17

Hello, Syndicateers!

You may have noticed various changes happening to the site over the past month, including our awesome new banner (thanks to Daisy and Long Con!) and color scheme. Now that everything has been ironed out, I am here to announce the key changes and promotions you all should know.

First, the moderation teams have been consolidated into two distinct categories:
(1) Game Facilitators, formerly the Moderators on Duty, who assist host(s) in keeping games running smoothly and conflict-free, and
(2) Community Team, formerly the Social Moderators and Technical Moderators, who assist in moderating non-mafia sections of the site, focusing on boosting the community, and technical matters.

The name change is part of an overall re-branding as well as to try and keep it clear what function each group serves. If you ever want to know who is in which group, refer to the legend on the Index page or "The team" in the upper left hand corner of your menu.

Secondly, the Ambassadors group is currently taking a break. We made this decision due to the slower pace the site is in currently, we wanted to free people up to focus on playing mafia and interacting with their friends here. Once the site picks back up, the Ambassadors will be revisiting their former functions and decide how they would like to move forward.

Accompanying all of this are personnel changes as well. Quin and DDL have been promoted to the moderation team, Golden has been promoted to the administration team, and S~V~S decided to step down from her post as administrator for personal reasons. I cannot emphasize how much S~V~S contributed to building this site and how thankful the team is for her commitment to this community over the years. We were very sad to see her step down, but we want nothing but the best for her and hope that once she has had a break she might be back to play some games with us again.

Happy mafiaing! :D
