The Great Mafieska was started by Riogi in 2007 because sk89q said "I meant useful for the organization you're working for." as a reply to a discussion regarding an administrative manner. Similar to The Great Bleaching, this is event is a mass change of usernames to a common theme. Riogi noted the word 'organization' and set out a list of names administrators could change to. This event was open to administrators only. The event was named oddly because Riogi did not want it to conflict with MastrJ's Mafia.
Names
Riogi provided the following list of names.
- Capo di Tutti Capi: the "boss of all bosses," namely Matteo Messina Denaro for the Sicilian Mafia and Renato Gagliano for the Sacra Corona Unita
- Capo di Capi Re: a title of respect given to a senior or retired member, equivalent to being a member emeritus, literally, "king boss of bosses"
- Capo Crimine: "crime boss," known as a Don - the head of a crime family
- Capo Bastone: "club head," known as the "underboss" is second in command to the Capo Crimine
- Consigliere: an advisor
