When you're a gangster, you can go anywhere. You can do anything. You know everybody, and everybody knows you.
The Mafia Guild began as a movement in May of 2010 in the Guild Confederacy of Equinox. Founded by the first Godfather Asylum, it was praised as one of “the coolest guild ideas, by far” almost from its inception. Its success derives from its unique blend of mafioso style, strong political leadership, active raider military and a uniquely Equinoxian sense of humor.
In the course of its history, The Mafia has been a potent force in raiderdom and Equinox’s politics, alike. This third iteration under Godfather Satya resurrects the iconic organization from its deep coma amidst a time of change in, both, raiderdom and Equinox.
The Mafia is back once again, instilling a fear for their kneecaps in defenders and natives across NationStates.
