They forgot to mention a key factor and that is to shutoff your scripts before you make your video even though the scripts are used by most players to play Mafia Wars in today’s game.
This is something that Zynga should have already created themselves but it will be nice to see a tutorial that will be created by real players of the game. Let’s just hope that the winning video will show how this game can be played without the purchasing of thousands of RP’s.
