EdgeGamers Mafia Episode 1: The Red Barbeque
Hosted by @CelDamage
What is Mafia?
Mafia is a text-based version of popular games like Amogus and Town of Salem, where EGO members (villagers) have to find and ban the Punks (killers) before they overwhelm EGO. The game can last between 1-3 weeks depending on how many people sign up. What makes this game unique to the others is that it will be entirely personalized to our community! The setting will be EGO-themed, and every players death and action will be related to the games they play and their own individual personalities.
How To Play
The game will be played in a text channel on the main discord. The rules of the game are simple. Everyone receives a role at the start of the game...

Meet The Leadership is back!
Bruce Lee once said, "Belts are only good for holding up your pants." I am gladly going to have to disagree with that, as without Belt, Counter-Strike would not be the same, especially within the Event Coordinator team. That's why on this episode of "Meet The Leadership" we decided to have a little session to find out more about the loop lover himself, Belt!

Member Services Announcements!
New Leaders Within Member Services!
The Member Services team would like to announce two more additions to the leadership roster. These individuals have shown great interest and willingness to help within the community. It is with great pleasure that we announce @Karma and @TehRaddish's promotion to Manager. They have been a leading force within the Member Relations team in the restructuring process. We are proud to have them stand alongside the team in pursuing a better community. We thank you both for your passion and commitment. Karma and TehRaddish will join Member Services Leadership in managing the Member Relations team, in addition to taking a supporting role dealing with the application system...
New Rust Sr. Manager!
Some fall... and others rise... and @redchance definitely seems like a riser to us.
After being promoted to eG back in 2019, redchance has been showing his leadership skills from CS to Rust for almost 3 years now. Extending Rust as much as possible, redchance has shown that they are more than capable of stepping up to the plate when it comes to leading a game.
With that being said, please congratulate them on their promotion to Sr. Manager of Rust!

Late Additions;
Last year, we began the long process of revamping several aspects of our admin training. This included rewriting and restructuring the basic admin training guidelines. This is always a monumental task and cannot be completed by any one person. Without the help of these two individuals, it is very likely that we would still be working on the UAT to this date. These two individuals are long-standing members and active in several aspects of the community. It is because of these reasons, I am proud to present ComradeLuna and 4g0tt3nSou1 with the Admin Trainer of the Year award.
