How To Create Daily Take Links

How To Create Daily Take Links

Now that the auto-bots and scanners that automatically collect are getting all the good Daily Take items, it's time to take matters into your own hands and share yours with those you want to have them. The method is the same one we've been using with wars and level up bonuses. When you get a Daily Take that has something worth sharing, collect the item you want and proceed as normal.  Once you select your item, wait for the popup and click on the "Share this take" button.

A news feed post will be generated. It's important you don't publish it to your wall.

Right click on the blue link that says "XXX wants to let you choose a (Golden) daily take reward and select "Copy link address" in Chrome or "Copy link location" in Fire Fox and click the cancel button on the feed request.

Now that you have the link copied you can paste it to those you want to share it with. Either post it in your group pages or send it directly to a friend. To demonstrate, I logged into my energy account and added the link into my browser. I was able to grab the defense point before any bots got to it first.

This is a good reason o bother collecting Daily Takes on your alternate accounts. It will get you a few extra skill points each week. Collect the crappy items and share he good ones with yourself and your favorite players. You can accept up to 5 Daily Takes a day and it's a good idea to start small groups where members can share their links. When posting to walls, it always best to shorten the links as Facebook doesn't always like the giant links. Just like the war and level up links, they are static so you can go to old posts if you need to create a new link.

Zombie Fight

[UPDATE 2011-10-25 12:55pm PDT: This has been postponed to begin tomorrow afternoon, October 26th.]

Mobsters!

It's time to put your fighting skills to the test in a battle for humanity. For approximately 1.5 weeks beginning tomorrow afternoon, October 26th, fight as either a Survivor fending off Zombies or as a Zombie trying to turn Survivors into more of your kind in the Mafia Wars Zombie Apocalypse Fight Event!

Collect Ices Just Like Ice Seasons, But Otherwise Different

• • Instead of a 1-2 week "season," multiple zombie "waves" will occur until the event ends approximately 1.5 weeks after it begins. Each wave ends when the Zombie plague has overtaken the vast majority (~90%) of the population, which should occur multiple times by November 4th. The exact number of zombie waves that will occur isn't certain, however, as each could take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the number of people icing at any given time.
• • At the beginning of each wave, you are assigned the role of Survivor or Zombie and your role is visible to all as an icon next to your name in fight lists. The color of your pop-up windows' borders will remind you of your current role, which will switch at the beginning of each new wave. If you are a Survivor, there is also a chance that you will be turned into a Zombie any time you are iced. In the event that you are turned into a Zombie mid-wave, the ices/points accumulated while you were a Survivor continue to count toward mastering that wave. The item you can receive at the end of each wave is based on your role at the time the wave ends.

Each Role's Goal + How to Maximize Your Score
The goal as a Zombie is to convert Survivors to Zombies by icing them. The goal as a Survivor is to stave off the Zombie Apocalypse by icing Zombies while keeping yourself alive. To help you accomplish this, Zombie Protection and Antidotes will be available for purchase on the fight page and on select pop-ups. While your score will increase for each person you ice during this event, you will receive bonus points for icing players on the opposing side.

Zombie Apocalypse Fight Event Loot
There are many opportunities, depending on your score, to collect loot drop and mastery items for both sides. Collect enough ices to master all 4 of the tiers as a Survivor to earn the Ruby level Apocalypse Bike (125/85), and collect enough ices to master all 4 of the tiers as a Zombie to earn the Ruby level Brain Cage (76/117). The item you can receive at the end of each wave is based on your role at the time the wave ends.

Remember to keep your brain with you at all times,
The Mafia Wars Team

Secret District Coming - For Chicago?

City Of Traverse

Yesterday, thanks to Leonard Wong, we were the first to show you the banner for the next Secret District (1). It's called the City Of Traverse and I had no idea "where" that was. Thanks to tip by Michael Massi in the comments, I was able to find out more about it.

The City Of Traverse is the name of ship that went from Chicago to Traverse City and was later turned into a casino. For more history and information about this vessel, go to this article. The good news for us Mafia Wars players is it's a good sign that the next Secret District will be in Chicago instead of Brazil. I would start gathering and saving your Clams and hope they don't fall into the black hole. I've lost over a million of them and have no idea why.
