Sombrero Mystery Bags

Sombrero

Sombrero (Wikipedia) in English refers to a type of wide-brimmed hat originating in Mexico. In Spanish, however, it is the generic word for "hat", which originates from "sombra", meaning "shade".

It usually has a somewhat high pointed crown, an extra-wide brim (broad enough to cast a shadow over the head, neck and shoulders of the wearer, and slightly upturned at the edge), and a chin string to hold it in place. Cowboys generalized the word to mean just about any wide broad-brimmed hat.

In Spanish, the word sombrero means any hat with a brim, such as the traditional sombrero cordobés from Cordoba, Spain. It derives from the Spanish word sombra, meaning "shade" or "shadow"; thus a literal English translation would be "shade maker". Spanish speakers outside Mexico refer to what English speakers call a sombrero as a sombrero mexicano ("Mexican hat"). In Mexico, it is known as sombrero charro, since "sombrero" is the actual word for any hat with a brim.

Sombreros, like the cowboy hats invented later, were designed in response to the demands of the physical environment. The concept of a broad-brimmed hat worn by a rider on horseback can be seen as far back as the Mongolian horsemen of the 13th century. In hot, sunny climates hats evolved to have wide brims. The wide brim provided shade. The Spanish developed a flat-topped sombrero, which they brought to Mexico. It was modified by the vaquero into the round-crowned Mexican sombrero and poblano.

And now we can add the Sombrero to the list as the top reward in the Mafia Wars Sombrero Mystery Bags.

If you are like me then the Sombreros will help shade you from the heat of your enemies by helping with your defense strength. You should want to get as many of these freebies as you can.

You can acquire anything from wishlist items to +5 attack to a free RP when you open the Mystery Bags.

Mafia Wars And The MIA Of Images

If you have never seen your Mafia Wars game look like the above image then you should feel lucky. For many of us this is occurring several times a day. It makes our game unplayable. We can not click any of the links while this is happening and the only answers are to keep reloading the game until it appears normal or quit playing for a while. Clearing the cache and history does not resolve this issue. Unframing Mafia Wars and https://www.mafiawars.zynga.com/ also do the same thing.

All I do know is this kind of issue should NEVER happen if you are running an online game. Especially at the frequency that it occurs in many of Zynga’s games.

If anyone knows a solution please let us all know what to do to fix this.

No Understanding Of The New Loot Details

As I was looking through the inventory and checking out the new loots that have been added I noticed a few funny things that caught my attention. The first thing I noticed was that some loot detail descriptions were telling me that my weakest items were stronger than the item I was looking at.

As you can clearly see in the above picture this isn’t true at all.

I continued looking through more of the loots and then I noticed that some loots are showing how much my Mafia’s attack and defense strengths will be increased by. I thought ‘Wow, this is nice.’ Then I questioned myself and thought why aren’t these numbers showing on the loots that I do not have in my inventory since it would be more helpful to have this information show on those loot items.

I then came across an old friend of mine from Quakertown, Pa. Too my surprise this item is not in my inventory yet and yet it does have the numbers indicating how much my stats would be affected by acquiring this loot item. 

Then it dawned on me…that this is Zynga that we are talking about. There has to be some kind of glitch or something to make one stop and wonder. However, I do give them Cudo’s for trying. Please just fix it so that it shows, at least on the new loots, how much my loots will be affected if I acquire the items.
