AniX

I'm Daniel Anix. This profile used to be a lot more fun before I became Administrator, but I feel like it needs to have SOME semblance of respectability now so here we are.

For those who don't know me, the cliffnotes version: I joined the site in 2003, having originally played on the now defunct MTGNews. Even back then, I most played on Scumchat, the AOL chatroom that was at the time loosely affiliated with Mafiascum. It was there I invented probably my biggest contribution to online Mafia, the variant UPick (I also invented the Mailman role in there, which is less impressive but still counts!). I played for a year or two on site before eventually taking a nearly 20 year hiatus from playing. I still stuck around on the site, eventually being named a Discussion Moderator in May of 2021. In July of 2024, after zoraster's retirement, I was named Administrator, finally broke my haitus by playing (and even running!) a few games, and here we are.

"Fun" Facts

- I am a member of the LGBTQA+ community twice over, as both non-binary and an asexual. If you didn't already know this, you haven't talked to me for more than 5 minutes, I bring it up a lot.

- I was the first one to buck the GTKAS queue, making him the origin of one of the more pervasive fads on Mafiascum and technically the parent of the current GTKAS queue system (by virtue of forcing it to become more official to prevent rebels like me)

- Despite having now been elevated to Admin, I once single-handily shut down Mafiascum on the "Trademark Day" of the first International Mafia Month by effectively spamming the board with 11 threads, each of which was extremely image and text heavy. Mith renamed it "Don't Break the Site, AniX" day in tribute to that.

- I search for particularly keyword related to me every few hours (the search is even my main bookmark for the site!). If you wish to summon me to a thread, one must simply say my name!

- I am the proud "winner" of Last Place in the SUPP, 2021 and 2024. Every year, me and my team of Ne0n Dreamers (so named because the first year I made a team it happened to be the Elements year and we wound up on Neon and because, naturally, we are seeking 0's) try to achieve last place.

- Users are always welcome to ask me questions, professional or personal, publicly or privately, through any method that is most convenient for them. I am here to help and/or amuse!
