HOW TO KILL THE SPINNING BULLETS

Close Your Spinning Bullets Compliments of Team Spockholm

Nothing is more irritating than getting hit with the spinning bullets. Refeshing, closing or unframing your game usually gets rid of them but it's always a toss up between waiting it out or taking action.

If you have installed the Spockholm Toolbar, you will notice your spinning bullets have something more to offer than the suggestion of refreshing.

That's right, there is an option to close them. Just click on "close link" and you can move on and go back to playing the game. It works every time!

If you haven't installed the Spockholm Toolbar, what are you waiting for? In addition to providing an easy way to get rid of your spinning bullets, there are many other features that you will love. For an overview of the Spockholm Toolbar and instructions on how to install and customize it, go here.

This addition was added recently and Team Spockholm wanted to see how long it would take the community to notice. It was hard for me to not post about something so cool. Within a few hours, our friends over at the Mafia Wars Maniac and Mistyfied Mafia Wars & Pimping posted about it. Hayden gave kudos to Zynga and Misty thanked them. Little did anybody know that Team Spockholm was responsible. This is yet another example of Team Spockholm providing us with options that Zynga won't.

Family Battle Change - 1 Hour Battle

Goodbye 48 Hour Battle...Hello 1 Hour Battle

If anybody cares about the Family Battle feature, the 48 hour Battle option has been removed and replaced with a 1 hour Battle.

The help page has also been update to reflect this change.

Family members now have to join the battle by clicking the "Join the Battle" button and have the option not to if they don't want to participate. Admin are automatically thrown in whether they want to battle or not. The time synchronization is a little off but ices will start counting as soon as you join the battle.

On the Family Leaderboard, the Skirmish is the 1 Hour Battle and the Battle is the 4 Hour Battle. Zynga really needs to fix the backward buttons. If something is highlighted then it should be displayed, it's ass backwards. They should also bother explaining these changes and how the scoring systems work.  There is nothing on the Official Mafia Wars Blog or Customer Support.

Something appears to be wrong with the scores as well. You will notice that the overall family score s much lower than the individual scores. Enter New Name of the AssHat Family has a individual score of 65,250 but the total score is only 5,333. This has been confirmed on other accounts as well.

Chicago City Mission Walk Through

Chicago City Mission

Here are all of the Chicago Missions. You can see they are quite pricey to buy off so you might as well pace yourself. There isn't a timer so you have from now until Mafia Wars or Chicago shuts down. I was told there are only 9 Missions. I can't verify that because I'm stuck with a bug on the 9th Mission and Live Chat s no where to be found.  I don't know if more Missions will be added once new districts in Chicago are released.

Mission #1

The Shootin'

Mission #2

Cut The Crap

Mission #3

Duck And Cover

Mission #4

Smuggling

Mission #5

The Job

Hint:  The second task states to "Do jobs in order to find some weapons to defend yourself with." in order to acquire 50 9MM Pistols.

You can buy these from the City Store for 900 Clams as they don't appear to drop very well by doing jobs.

Mission #6

Rum Runner

The last objective requires that you loot 20 Michiguns by doing jobs. After spending thousands of energy, I could not get one of these to drop. Customer Support completed the task for me.

Mission #7

Dodging Dogs

Hint:  The last objective requires you to win 10 wars. You can get credit for winning a war f you are the last person on the winning side to attack. If you respond to a war help request and get the option to attack the head shot, you will get credit.

Use the Operation War Helper by Team Spockholm to decrease your searching time and hope you are the lst to arrive. Of the 9 wars shown below, 5 of them were head shots and I breezed through this objective with 2 more scans.

Mission #8
Break-In

Mission #9
Take Care Of The Bodies
