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.
