Mardi Gras Dates

When you're ready for the big experience, you'll need to know when it will be! You'll find that the big day can fall on any Tuesday between February 3 and March 9. Carnival celebration starts on January 6, the Twelfth Night (feast of Epiphany), and picks up speed until midnight on Mardi Gras, the day before Ash Wednesday.

How do you know which Tuesday it will be?

Ash Wednesday is always 46 days before Easter, and Fat Tuesday is always the day before Ash Wednesday. Easter can fall on any Sunday from March 23 to April 25, with the exact date to coincide with the first Sunday after the full moon following a spring equinox! There you have it! Voila! If you're still confused, get out that calendar with the printed holidays on it--it's the day before Ash Wednesday!

Brazilian Liaison Operation Loots

Who plays in Brazil?

Yesterday Mafia Spirit showed you the next Limited Time Operation that will be called Brazilian Liaison. [1] Within an hour after our post a competing blogger promptly made a similar post implying that they found the images along with the following comment; “At this time none of the loot items have been added to the inventory but they should be soon if this is in fact a newly added image.” The truth is that they would NOT have known about this Brazilian Operation if WE hadn’t posted about it first. We do the work and find the images and they try to steal the credit, like they have accused others of doing so many times. If they want respect from me then they MUST EARN IT! – I must say, we are humbled that they like what we do here at Mafia Spirit and that they follow us. Maybe you should tell your friends about us so you don’t get second hand news.

The loots have now been added to the in-game inventory. All the Loots for the ‘Brazilian Liaison’ Operations are shown below (as you will likely see within the game once the operations become active);

The Bronze, Silver, and Gold level reward will be a loot called ‘Pre-Caution.’
