Zynga Addresses Property Difficulties

On The Official Mafia Wars Blog Zynga Addresses The Difficulty Of The New York Properties High Demand For Parts And A Nerf With The Coding That Is Causing Headaches When Trying To Upgrade Or Build Items In The Hangar. Here Is What Zynga Has To Say; 

New Limited-Time-To-Request-Upgrade Parts NYC Property: The Hangar

The Hangar is our newest limited-time-to-request-upgrade-parts New York City property! You have until 5:00 PM (Pacific Time) on Monday 2/13 to upgrade it to its maximum potential through feeds/requests. The Hangar will retain the level to which you are able to upgrade it by the time the countdown timer reaches 0:00:00, after which the only way to upgrade the property will be by purchasing the remaining parts you need with RP.

Special Note: In response to player feedback about previous properties, we've made this one a bit easier to complete in the time given.

The Hangar will allow you to craft some sky-ready loot, including the Hop Chopper (121/83 +5 Stamina at emerald level) as you upgrade the property with the help of your Mafia sending you upgrade parts!

PS: Help us make better Mafia Wars features and events by completing this very quick survey to let us know what you think of this one.

 

Known Issue + Workaround: Trying To Build From Or Upgrade The Hangar Opens Another Property

Play Now!

Hello Mafia Players,
We are aware that some of you are experiencing the following Issue:
The Hangar - Trying To Build From Or Upgrade It Opens Another Property
Issue: Some players report that trying to access The Hangar to build from or upgrade it opens a property other than The Hangar.

Status: A fix is currently in development, but The Hangar remains easy to access. See the workaround below for details.

Workaround: Make sure The Hangar is one of the 5 active properties on your NYC property page. Then, if trying to access it still opens another property, you should be able to navigate to it by clicking its picture among the 5 properties at the bottom of the Property module that opens. If you know of another workaround for this issue, please Submit A Workaround.
Thanks for your patience,
~Mafia Wars Team

(This Known Issue comes from our Bugs & Support forum.)

After The Assassin’s Academy’s High Demands For Parts And The Short Links Having Issues And The Facebook Wall’s Where Not Every Post Is Appearing Players Are Skeptical And Frustrated. Many Aren’t Going To Bother With These Properties Anymore. In Fact, Some Players Are Asking For A Boycott Of These Properties.

 

Zynga, The Thrill Is Gone With These Properties.

How To Protest The Facebook Timeline

 

Just Thought That I Would Share The Following Message Is Being Circulated Around Many Peoples Facebook Walls;

Undo Timeline

Despite being told Timeline is mandatory, we can protest through the ads. Reposting this article by Randy Abrams- "..there is something you can do that will be effective if millions of protesters join in. If you make timelines unattractive to advertisers then Facebook will either listen or disable feedback. Here is how you effectively protest.

When you visit a page go straight to the ads and point to the upper right corner of the ad. This will make a little X appear that you can click on and choose to hide the ad. Next you will be asked why you are hiding the ad. I suggest you choose “other” and type in “Protest Timeline”.

The Hangar – New Buildable Property

 

The Hangar Is Out And Ready For Parts To Be Begged For.

You Have 14 Days To Get Enough Parts To Get Your Hangar To Level 15. Sounds Impossible Like The Previous Property Was For Too Many Of Us.

So Let The Begging Begin. Ask For Your Parts An Hopefully You Get Enough People To Help You.

Once You Get The Hangar Upgraded Just Once You Can Start Building Items That Are Contained Within. These Items Are Shown Below.

The Last Property Had Ridiculous Requirements That Many Of Us Didn’t Meet Even Though It Allowed You To Gift Welding Torches. This Property Doesn’t Offer That Luxury. Therefore, I Wonder How Pathetically Ridiculous The Requirement For Parts For This Property Will Be. In Addition To The Cost Of RP To Buy Your Parts. Here We Go.

					RP’s Needed To Upgrade Each Level
LEVEL	Hammer Drill	Plaster	Cordless Drill	Total Parts
1	1	1	1	3	6
2	1	2	1	4	8
3	2	3	2	7	14
4	3	4	3	10	20
5	4	6	4	14	28
6	5	8	5	18	36
7	10	11	10	31	62
8	12	15	12	39	78
9	14	19	14	47	94
10	16	23	16	55	110
11	18	27	18	63	126
12	20	31	20	71	142
13	22	35	22	79	158
14	24	39	24	87	174
15	26	43	26	96	192
TOTALS	178	267	178	624	1248

 

We Would Also Like To Address This Mess Shown Below.

Zynga Only Allows Players To Send 5 Of Any Part And 5 Of Specific Parts Every 8 Hours While Allowing Players To Collect 10 Of Any And 10 Specific Within The Same 8 Hour Period. Zynga Also Allows You To Collect 3 Free From Wall Posts Where Others Have Upgraded Their Property.

We Know That You Want Your Parts. We Do To. But Spamming People With Instant Messages With Links (Especially More Than One) IS NOT COOL. If We Click All 5 Of Those Links Then We Can Not Send Any Parts To Anyone Else. That Is Not Fair To Others In Our Mafia’s.

 

If You Do Spam Someone With These Links Then Be Prepared To Send Parts Back. Many Times These People Are Just About Getting Their Properties Built But Do Not, And Can Not, Help Everyone They Beg From.

 

Please Be Respectful And Understand That Many Of Us Are In The Same Boat As You With These Limitations Set Forth By Zynga. Many Of Us Won’t Get The Property Built To Level 15. Many Of Us Are Considering Not Even Participating In These Over-Demanding, Over-Burdening, Buildable Properties. They Are No Longer Fun.

FACEBOOK GOING PUBLIC? AS WE AWAIT TIMELINE

 

FACEBOOK, The social-networking website could file for its initial public offering (IPO) as early as Wednesday. This could coincide with the world-wide release of the Facebook Timeline, which is due to be made mandatory to all Facebook users soon.

 

According to Facebook.com Statistics, there are more than 800 million active users of the service and more than 50% of those users log onto Facebook everyday. Approximately 80% of Facebook’s users do not reside in the United States. Facebook is estimated to be worth between $75 to $100 billion. This all makes Facebook an attractive investment.

 

According to Sean Parker, creator of Napster and former president of Facebook, “CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants to keep the company private as long as possible to build it.” He also stated that “It is “inevitable” that Facebook will go public.”

 

The rumors and news stories are flying in anticipation of what could be “one of the largest IPO offerings in history,” as also stated by Sean Parker.

 

Here are a few videos from CNBC.com 

 

Napster Co-Founder on Facebook IPO

The Facebook IPO is "inevitable" said Sean Parker, Napster co-founder in an interview at Davos on CNBC.com

 

Facebook’s biggest investor does not think there is a tech bubble, and said he’s “pretty sure” the company can continue to grow for a long time once it becomes public. CNBC.com

STRANGER’S SWAG – TAROT READER

The Tarot Reader Is The Next Stranger’s Swag.

Tarot Reader 104 66

Tarot reading revolves around the belief that the cards can be used to gain insight into the past, current and possible future situations of the subject (or querent), i.e. cartomancy. Some believe they are guided by a spiritual force, while others believe the cards help them tap into a collective unconscious or their own creative, brainstorming subconscious. The divinatory meanings of the cards commonly used today are derived mostly from cartomancer Jean-Baptiste Alliette who was also known as Etteilla.

The tarot ( /ˈtæroʊ/; first known as trionfi and later as tarocchi, tarock, and others) is a pack of cards (most commonly numbering 78), used from the mid-15th century in various parts of Europe to play a group of card games such as Italian tarocchini and French tarot. From the late 18th century until the present time the tarot has also found use by mystics and occultists in efforts at divination or as a map of mental and spiritual pathways.

The tarot has four suits (which vary by region, being the French suits in Northern Europe, the Latin suits in Southern Europe, and the German suits in Central Europe). Each of these suits has pip cards numbering from ace to ten and four face cards for a total of 14 cards. In addition, the tarot is distinguished by a separate 21-card trump suit and a single card known as the Fool. Depending on the game, the Fool may act as the top trump or may be played to avoid following suit.^[1]

François Rabelais gives tarau as the name of one of the games played by Gargantua in his Gargantua and Pantagruel;^[2] this is likely the earliest attestation of the French form of the name.^{[citation needed]} Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play card games. InEnglish-speaking countries, where these games are largely unknown, tarot cards are now used primarily for divinatory purposes.^[1][3]Occultists call the trump cards and the Fool "the major arcana" while the ten pip and four court cards in each suit are called minor arcana. The cards are traced by some occult writers to ancient Egypt or the Kabbalah but there is no documented evidence of such origins or of the usage of tarot for divination before the 18th century.^[1]

Wholphin

64 103

 

A Wholphin or Wolphin is a rare hybrid, born from a mating of a female Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) with a male False Killer Whale (Pseudorca crassidens). The name implies a hybrid of whale and dolphin, although taxonomically, both are within the "oceanic dolphin" family, which is within the "toothed whale" suborder.^[1][2] Although they have been reported to exist in the wild,^[2] there are currently only two in captivity, both at Sea Life Park in Hawaii.^[1] Wholphins, though not commonly sighted by fisherman, are known in popular seafaring lore as "The Great Gray Beast".^[3]

Kekaimalu, the first wholphin in captivity, proved fertile when she gave birth at a very young age. The calf died after a few days. However, in 1991, Kekaimalu gave birth once again, to daughter Pohaikealoha. For 2 years she cared for the calf, but did not nurse it (it was hand-reared by trainers). Pohaikealoha died at age 9.

On December 23, 2004, Kekaimalu had her third calf, daughter Kawili Kai, sired by a male bottlenose. This calf did nurse and was very playful. Only months after birth, it was the size of a 1-year-old bottlenose dolphin.^[1]

Both remain in captivity, and are now part of the normal tour at Sea Life Park in Hawaii, USA. Kekaimalu is featured in the main dolphin show at Sea Life Park.
