a prologue to the plot...
Imagine a world where chaos and destruction has become the new reality; each passing moment becomes a struggle for survival as terrorism continues to heighten in strength and numbers. Deception has become the new secret weapon of the corrupt and fragile Ministry of Magic, who is using what little strength they have to influence the information being leaked to local media outlets. The people of the wizarding world are receiving information that has been warped by the government, and the number of daily casualties reported is never close to accuracy. With the growing threat of the rebellion, a combined force of werewolf and vampire radicals who won't stop at murder if it means getting equal rights with humans, citizens are afraid to leave their homes. Everyone, it seems, has made the mistake of forgetting about the death eaters who have suddenly vanished from the newspapers and public eye. Unbeknownst to Britain, they have been working diligently to covertly overthrow neighboring countries in an effort to bring Europe to its knees. The dreaded mist of lies and secrecy is lingering in the air, and its only a matter of time before everything implodes with a bang. What will happen to a scarred and battered magical society, when even the Ministry is incapable of enforcing its laws and holding their own in the middle of a lethal war? This is Magical Mayhem.-----------------------------------

what sets us apart from other sites...
ACTIVE STAFF TEAM: There are plenty of good sites our there that have died because the administration weren't active or dedicated enough to manage things. Here on Magical Mayhem, we have studied this problem in depth and made it our mission to do the complete opposite. Not only do we strive to do our staff duties with efficiency, speed and with the motivation to be highly organized, but we all have several characters and roleplay just as actively as everyone else. We're involved, we love our members and we do our best to help them so that, hopefully, they feel the same way about us.
ACTIVE MEMBERS: Any good site is nothing without active members, and yet again we take this a step forward. We're a huge family that is always enthusiastic about new members. The support and kindness that people give to each other is truly commendable, and they do all this in the cbox while dishing out tons of posts.
OLD SCHOOL WITH NEW TRICKS: We can all seem to agree that there was nothing better than the old-school magic of roleplaying, back several years ago. Things were simplistic and activity boomed, people got along on big sites and everything was great. We're a comparatively new forum to some our of competitors that have been doing this a lot longer, and it took us some time to discover the secret behind creating an active forum, but we think we've mastered it. People want a forum that brings back the old magic, but isn't afraid to add its own twists to make things more interesting. So what did we do? We gave it to them.
ORGANIZATION: The administration team is obsessed with organization, simply said. If we find out something's not working, we rush to get it fixed just so that everything is in order. We rely on the helpfulness of our members, and our own searches, to get things done - just another example of how we get along so well.
MAYHEM MENTORS We have a special program to help new members get started and make themselves at home, composed of our own veteran members who are more than happy to answer questions, give advice and roleplay with new people.
NEW SKINS Matt, the creator and head administrator, does all of the site's graphics and skins and releases several a year to keep things innovative and fresh. There's never a fear of getting bored with a color scheme.
SO MUCH MORE!-----------------------------------
an insight from members and staff...
Testimonials written by the members and staff of Magical Mayhem
"I really can't put it into words for you all, but there's just something about Magical Mayhem that's incredible. I realize it may sound biased, but it's true. We've had people that come and go, but when people leave most have a tendency to find their way back and get active again. MM is addicting, but the kind of addicting that's completely healthy and beneficial for you. The members here are a collection of the most compassionate and wonderful people that you'll ever meet, and my fellow administrators - few people match their dedication and helpfulness. We all love new members, to the point where we have a tendency to bombard them with welcomes in the chatbox and then beg them for plots once they're sorted. In fact, on more than on occasion I've been convinced that people were scared off by our kindness. Totally not exaggerating there." -OLIVER CROMWELL [MATT] - ADMINISTRATOR
"Nobody can stay away for long! We've had people disappear for months, and as soon as their lives got back on track, they were right back here with us. I think that's one of the things that demonstrates our strength more than anything else. We're all good friends here, and we all understand that real life comes first, but even when real life gets hard, we always come back." - HAWK BLACK [BRITT] - ADMINISTRATOR
"I couldn’t talk about Magical Mayhem without talking about its excellent staff. Never have I seen an administration team so dedicated to the site. All are willing to help out and lend a hand, and the Head Admin, Matt, has so much dedication to the site that I am often in awe of him. They are always quick to answer a question, and continuously striving to better the site. - HEERA DHAWAN [ANGIE] - MEMBER
"I've been a devoted member, or at least tried to be, ever since it opened. This site is a huge part of my life, and I really don't know what I'd do without it. When you speak to the people, there's an instant connection. Nobody ever seems to be mad at anybody else, we all just get along really well." - JENNIFER STONE [SARA] - MEMBER
"First of all, the members here are so friendly and welcoming. They're always open for plots and I've made some good solid friends on here that I will cherish forever. Members here are always open to chat when they're in the C-Box and I would like to say that the ones I have been lucky enough to get to know are the nicest people on the planet and if it weren't for them, I may still be in a very dark place right now. They're understanding, pleasant and some of he C-Box conversations I've had have reduced me to tears because some of the members are just so hilarious. Thank you members for brightening my bad days and making my life a few rays of sunshine brighter." -NATHAN KILLIGHAN [ERYN] - MEMBER
