Forward-Looking Statements

ZNGA  has been on a very slow incline over the course of the past year. Investors have been hopeful that Don Mattrick would revive ZNGA back to, at least, the levels of ZNGA’s IPO. Since Q2‘12  Zynga’s revenues have been on a steady decline.

Zynga no longer boasts a top 10 Facebook App.

The direction of the company is clearly uncertain. One can only speculate what will be announced regarding Zynga’s financials on Feb 6, 2014. We fear more of the same. 

 

 

When the mornin' comes You'll know by my shoes I've been out walking If I don't return You'll know I've found something to believe in, to believe in Waiting for the sun My heart will surely break if it starts raining It's the oasis I seek 'Cause the sand of the desert makes me thirsty, makes me thirsty Down, down we all go down 'Round, 'round we all go 'round Down, down we all go down We all go down-down-down-down If I learn to fly You know I'll go places never been before If I reach a star You know I will dwell on it forever, forever There are mysteries My children have rhymes with hidden meanings If I learn the truth I'm sure that the end will leave me crying, leave me crying

My Truth - Your Truth - And The Real Truth

 

 

Don’t look so confused Pan. Stay in control. Just realize that we are far from Neverland and the game we all play and blog about is called Mafia Wars after all. If you want to play a game that is filled with fairies maybe you should try CastleVille.

Mafia Spirit has taken a lot of criticism from the fairies in the game that have spread their dust (Bullshit and Lies) all around Facebook and elsewhere. It must be some really good dust too since they have many more followers than we do and they like to brag about that fact and try to humiliate us with it. But, they don’t know who I am nor why I do what I do (Although they have tried to find out).

There is a reason we just hit 96,000 fans and it’s because of an engaged group of players who all help each other learn the game. My only purpose is to put all that stuff together in one place. I don’t solely take credit for any of this because it’s always a group effort. If I did this all on my own or spent my time worrying about what others post then we would still be waiting after all these years to get out of the triple digit bracket.

We could have a larger following if we tried harder and had our noses in every Facebook group and Skype room or your business like others do. We could inflate our Facebook likes if we wanted to create 1,000’s of mini accounts or bought them. We could even add Admins to our pages to spread our good word and to paint illusions of grandeur. We could even pay for advertising if we wanted to. But we do none of those things.

We’ve done none of those things because we aren’t trying to make money from what we do, for one thing. Also, we have no overwhelming desire to be number 1 in a dying game like others do. We are simply trying to provide another perspective of the game. We do hope you like what we do and we appreciate those of you who have been brave enough to click the ‘like’ buttons on Facebook and/or shared our posts. We also appreciate those of you who follow us incognito (which there are many more of you than others may realize).

Our fanbase, and other blogs too, could possibly be higher IF we weren’t being falsely accused of many things and weren’t being reported and threatened.

Nit picking about who posted what first is for those who don’t have anything else to write about.

Hmm, maybe that’s because you made it an issue since you’ve accused too many others of copying, or stealing, from you? Ever think about that one? Probably NOT!

Now you contradict yourself (again) by stating;

Those who provide information to the Mafia Wars community all have limited content to write about and have their own ways of obtaining information. Many things are posted on various groups and fan pages before I even get online and vice versa. We all can’t be online 24/7 and I do my best to post information as soon as I can. Just because someone may have posted it before me doesn’t mean I got that information from them or vice versa. Game and server images are available to anyone and they are owned by Zynga and not the 1st person who posted them. The only time I ever get upset over seeing the same images I’ve posted elsewhere is when they are taken directly from our site. Those who accuse me of ‘stealing’ images that are in the Zynga servers or right in our game should look at themselves in the mirror and say the same whenever one is posted here first. I wouldn’t have time to run this site if I felt compelled to keep track of how many times that happens and spend my time pointing it out.

But, it’s ok for you to accuse others of stealing or copying from you?

My response to your hypocrisy is;

YOU ARE SO UNRESPECFUL!!

Got Beads? Carnival (Mardi Gras) Theme Marketplace Sale Coming Soon

You’ve been patiently waiting for a new Marketplace Sales Event, I know. Lemme tell you that you won’t be waiting much longer because a new Marketplace Sale is coming soon. The theme is clearly Carnival related as the name of the featured loot that you can earn by making the required number of purchases is Carnival Maestro.

The 4 Limited Edition loots also go along with the theme.

 

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!

Rio Carnival 2014 dates: February 28th until March 4th

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.’
