UPDATE FOR CUBA RELEASE ISSUES
During the anticipated re-opening of Cuba there were unexpected issues that arose regarding the empty robbing boards for our players.  The Neo Imperium has had Cuba in their evil clutches for too long.

But don't worry, we're working on the robbing boards and other related issues and will have an release that will go out tonight that will get you into that action.

Thank you for all of your early excitement, and we appreciate your patience while we work to resolve these issues for you!

Problems With Cuba - Who Would Have Guessed

There Are Problems With Cuba Already. I Have Had Issues Sending The Augmenter. Those I've Sent It To Aren't Receiving Them. Thanks Zynga.

RUBY DISTRICTS
A Mission Called Return To Cuba Is Yet To Open Up. I Don't Have Word  Yet As To When Nor What Will Be Involved. I Will Post A Walk Through As Soon As I Can.

Mission Part 1 
There Are A Few Tasks Which Require Us To Rob In Cuba. We Need To Collect The Following Items Which Can Only Be Gained By Robbing In Cuba.The Problem Is There Are No Properties To Rob Since The First Thing Everyone Did Was Collect Their Properties. 



 
 

Smugglers Haven Went Bye Bye


Smuggler's Haven Is No More

The Smuggler's Haven Has Been Removed From the Travel Drop Box And Brazil Jobs Page.



Hopefully Zynga Is Making Room For Cuba's Reopening. The Anticipation Is Killer. I Just Hope Zynga Doesn't Disappoint Us.


FB MAfia Wars Addon

On The Battlefield - If You Cant Beat Them Then Beat Them


A Nice Tool That Many Mafia Wars Players Are Using Is The FB Mafia Wars Addon This Tool Has Many Functions That Appear To Be Helping Many Mafia Wars Players Become Better At The Game. Some of the Functions Include A Gift Center, A Multi Gifter, A Craft Manager, An Operations Manager, A Mafia Wiper That Allows You To Remove Dead Beats, And A Battlefield And More. Below I'll Discuss The Battlefield Since It Is Likely The Reason Many Use Any Addon Or Game Enhancement. 


After You Install The FB Mafia Wars Addon You Will Notice A Change To Your Mafia Wars Pages. The Bright Green Arrow Will Appear At The Top Left Side Of Your Mafia Wars Screen. This Is Nice Because It's Clean And Doesn't Take Up Much Space. You Also Don't Have To Unframe Your Mafia Wars Game Pages. 
If You Hover Over The Green Arrow You Get A Nice Popout List Of The Various Functions. 
Fourth Down On The List You Will See Your Battlefield Function. If You Are Ready To Fight And Click On This It Takes You To Your Battlefield Screen (As Shown Below).
If You've Never Used This Before You'll Want To Look Around First Before You Jump Right Into Fighting. Across The Top You Will Find 4 Boxes That Lists 4 Pages For You To Configure Before You Go Fighting. You Start On The First Page Which Is Called "Config Page 1". As You Can See In The Picture Above You Have Many Things To Experiment With And To See Which Settings Work Best For You. 

On Config Page 2 (As Shown Below) You Will Find More Things To Experiment With. It Might Be A Good Idea For You To Save A Screen Shot Of The Default Settings Before You Start Tinkering. 
The Third Page Is Your Blacklist Page. This Page Allows You To Save Individual Players Profiles So That You Won't Fight Them When You Begin Fighting. You May Notice A Green Check On The Picture Below. If You Click The Box Where That Check Mark Appears You Will Add All Players To Your Blacklist Who You Lose To When You Fight. This Is A Good Idea So That You Won't Lose Another Fight To The Same Individual. Unless They Attack You. They Will Be Skipped On Your Fight Lists.  
The Fourth Page Is Similar To The Blacklist Page. This Is Your Whitelist Page. It Works Very Similar To The Blacklist Page Except That Those You Add Here Are The Players You Can (Or Did) Beat In A Fight. You Have The Option Here Of Who To Add By Adding The Green Check Mark (As It Appears Below) And Determining How Much Cash That Player Needs To Have On Hand Before You Add That Player To Your Whitelist. If Your After Ices Type The Number 0 In The Box And You Will Add All Players You Beat In Fights. If You Need City Cash The Type A Number In The Box Like 20,000. If A Player Does Not Have 20,000 Or More In Cash That Has Not Been Deposited In Their Bank And You Beat Them In The Fight You Will Continue To Fight That Player Until You Ice Them Or They No Longer Have Your Desired Minimum Cash.  
The Fifth Page Is Your Clan Page. This Page Is Great In Two Instances. You Can Set This Page So That You Can Either Attack Every Player Within An Entire Clan (Or Group Of Clans) Or You Can Click Skipped In The Drop Down Box (As Shown Below) And Add Your Family To The List And You Won't Attack Anyone Within Your Clan Even If They Are Not On Friends List. You Can Add Other Families Here Also So That You Can Skip Them As Well. This Is Useful If You Want To Avoid Those Super Strong Families. Just Remember That They Can Still Find You On The Fight Lists. Now They Just Have To Try Harder To Find You Or They Get Lucky To Find You.  
To Add A Player To Your Blacklist Or Whitelist You Need To Go To That Players Mafia Wars Profile Page And Copy The Green Profile Link (As Shown Below).
On The Blacklist Or Whitelist Page Click Add New.  
A Dialog Box Appears Where You Paste The Copied Profile Link. Click Accept And That Player Has Now Been Added To Your Whitelist Or Blacklist. 
Adding A Family To The Clan Page Is Similar. The Difference Is That You Copy The Link ToA Family From Your Selected Family's Family Page. A Family's Page May Now Have Section (As Highlighted Below) Where You See The Word Battlefield And A Red Box And Green Box To The Right. Click The Appropriate Box Where You Would Like To Place This Family In Your Battlefield. 
After Clicking The Red Box (Which Adds The Family To Your Blacklist) A Box Will Appear Saying This;
Anytime You Feel That You Are Ready You Can Click One Of The Two Red Boxes That Appear On Each Page Where It says "Random Attacks!" Or "Attack Whitelists!". Random Attacks Will Consider All Your Settings That You Made While Configuring Your Battlefield Including Avoiding Your Blacklisted Players And Attacking Your Whitelisted Players. The Other Option Only Attacks Those Players Whom You Added To Your Whitelist. 


You Are Now A Fighter. So Go Fight.  

Cuba Reopens Today


Cuba Reopens Today

Around 9 PM, EST Today, When Smuggler's Haven Closes CUBA Is Rumored To Open. Back Up. 


 We pretty much knew this was coming but Zynga officially announced that Cuba will reopen tomorrow. All progress has been saved and you will start off from where you were when it shut down. A Ruby Level will be added so players who have already mastered Cuba will have something to do. Cuba will be around for two weeks. Go here to read all the details. 

"Your job progress will start for where you left off, but you’ll find a new tier of job mastery and powerful new loot."/The Official Mafia Wars Blog
For a sneak peak at what to expect, go here and for a list of all the new loot items and their stats, go here.




With the Neo-Imperium distracted by their criminal activities in other parts of the world, your chance has come to sneak back into Cuba. Your job progress will start for where you left off, but you’ll find a new tier of job mastery and powerful new loot. Be sure to hurry though, the Neo-Imperium won’t be fooled for long. Grab what you can while you can, because this temporary visa won’t last forever.


Cuba Event Developer Explanation: Due to player request, we will be re-opening Cuba temporarily for 2 weeks. Many players are disappointed that they no longer have access to Cuba job progress and properties, so we wanted to attempt a temporary re-opening through a limited time event to see how players enjoy it.  


During this time users will have access to Cuba with new added loot drops. Their job progress will be the same as when they left it. Additionally, for those players who already finished Cuba, we are releasing a Ruby tier of Job Mastery.  We are very aware of the dedication players have put into finishing Cuba, so we wanted to make sure everyone has something to tackle in the re-opening, along with high end loot drops and new mastery items for completing Ruby Tiers.

We would really like to hear your feedback on this event, the Cuba shutdown event, and future city releases and events. We strive to make sure the new city content we release is the best for our players that it can be!  Thanks everyone – and good luck dealing with the Neo-Imperium!

ICE SEASON 8

ICE ICE BABY.
Yes, The Saga Continues. You Know The Routine By Now. Fight And Ice 1000 Players Within A Week. This Time It's Winters Grasp That Is Up For Grabs. This Reward Is Better Than All But One Of The Epic Boss Fight (Jeff The Knife) Rewards. You Need To Fight To Get The Fists For The Boss Fight So If You Manage Yourself Well You Can Accomplish Both.

What Happens If The Clock Runs Out On Jeff

If The Clock Runs To Zero On The Jeff The Boss Fight And You Haven't Beaten Him Then You Beat Him And You Still Get A Reward. You Still Receive All 4 Rewards Just Like If You Beat Jeff Earlier. Here Is A Pic Of The Rewards That Someone Received For Finishing First In A Small Inactive Family Of 30;
My Family Has Beaten Jeff Twice Now. The Rewards That I've Received Are As Follows;
 

 It's Still Hardly Fair When There Are Large Families Who Have Reportedly Beaten Jeff 40 Or More Times Already. Do The Numbers. The Family Above Has Received 4 Rewards So Far. The 4 You See In The picture. A Family That Has Beaten Jeff 40 Times Has Received 160 Rewards. In The Picture Above This Individual Possibly Gained A Mafia Attack 446 And Defense Of 373. That's Assuming They Were Not Maxed In Their Attack And Defense.

The Fact Is That The Individual Depicted Above Was Likely Not Maxed In Their Attack And Defense. The Elite Players Are Also Not Likely To Be Maxed In Their Attack And Defense. The Difference Between The Two Is That The Elite Player Has A Much Greater Opportunity To Becoming Maxed In Their Attack And Defense At A Much Faster Rate Than The Individual Who Received The Rewards In The Picture Above.

The Elite Players May Argue That Both Players Have The Same Opportunity To Collect The Rewards. This Argument Only Holds A Little Water Since The Boss Fight Is Available To Everyone. The Elite Players Have A Minimum Of A 40:1 Advantage Over The Player That I Have Showed The Rewards Of Here.

My Argument Is Simple. This Kind Of Event Is Only Fair If Each Player/Family Has The Same Number Of Opportunities To Fight The Boss. Jeff The Knife Should Only Be Beatable Once A Week. Rewards Should Be Rewarded To Players Based On Where They Finish In Their Family Leader Boards When The Timer Reaches Zero.

And We Wonder Why The DAU And MAU Looks Like A Sliding Board On The Charts.
