Sorry, I haven't been able to post here lately. A lot has been happening. Mind boggling....to say the least. I shall return in a few days but, I felt this was too important to let go by.....It is with my saddened heart that I pass on this information....please take a moment to pray for the people left behind..that they remain strong and try to get comfort from the good times they shared.

Please participate in this vigil request in honor of Karl Marks, the GF of {BRITS} who passed away this morning. I want you to realize that while some of you consider this "just a game", some of us who choose to run these groups spend a lot of energy working endlessly each day trying to make this game enjoyable for all of you. Karl was one of these people and deserves the respect all of us can offer. Thank you.— {BiA} Don Rodolfo {HS}, Today 11:05 PM

Thank-you Desiree for bringing this to our attention!!

David A. Marchand December 29 at 11:32am

they starting attacking us last Tuesday, so we re conned, got links and taught them a lesson for starting it with us ................

Something said while trying to tone down the sound coming from his microphone...David sounds better when talking from the back of his head.

Commenting on an Officers enthusiasm(possibly Gerry)...He wanted to fight so much he brought out his mini*me and mini's sister.

Maybe you have been trying to fight so long without targets that your computer slowed down to keep in time with them. (no clue)

Making her way through the common room, Sahvi noticed it was quite busy. I'll sit amongst a crowded table and hear the gossip. Here ya go Miss...enjoy. My Thanks, by the way, what is your name? I don't want to keep saying kitchen lass...both chuckled. My name is Rachel, Miss. Rachel, I am Sahvi. Much better, Sahvi smiled. Yes, Miss Sahvi, a good day to ya. Remembering this was the eve of the New Year, Sahvi figured she should buy a new outfit for the occasion and spent the rest of the day primping and preening. The night was grand, minstrels, fireworks, drink and food aplenty. Everyone participated in the New Years games of skill until they could no longer see straight. Laughing, Sahvi found a place to sit and watch the fun for a while. She did notice her hand was never long empty. Her head began to swim, oh brother, I'd better grab a bite to eat and head to bed before I pass out right here with some of the others.

Now, all is quiet in the Empire. Sahvi is sleeping off a hang*over. Old Man Kuff is slowly making his way to meet with Sahvi. Better late than never, he thinks. My leg has not quite healed and I have to take a nights rest between my daily travels. I'll stop for the night and hopefully will make it to the Empire proper by midday tomorrow. Good*night all.

I apologize if some of the bloopers do not make sense...I didn't want to change anything that was given to me. I don't understand a few of them....but, hey that's me. : )

2009-12-26T22:46:00.000-08:00

Well, since we last heard from Old Man Kuff. The Officers are no longer engaged in warfare. All is peaceful once again in the Empire. Sahvi has spent much of her time doing her usual rummaging of old battle sites and walking the market. She wonders when she will be meeting with Old man Kuff, and thinks about her eldest brother...an Officer for the Empire, how proud our folks must be. What keeps coming back to haunt her Most especially is the odd phrase in the old mans letter "keep both eyes open". Her mind wanders its corridors as it always does, she moves on...

Thinking to herself...since I've got the time, I might as well brush up on my weaponry skills, maybe learn a thing or two. I am quite good ~ My Da' and brothers started my training when I turned 5 yrs. old. I should be able to find someone to spar with since the Holidays have passed and most everyone is back at their chores. Sahvi is taken out of her thoughts by a knock at her door. It's open, come in. Miss, oh Miss, I was told to give this to you, it's urgent from the Old man. Thanks, and I'll be down in a few minutes to eat, If you could have it ready for me....here are a few silvers...keep them for yourself, you've been so helpful to me. My Thanks Miss, I'll get right to it.

Sahvi opened the note, it read, oh Dear girl, I heard from your brother yesterday, another war has broken out between The Officers of the Empire and [VMC]. It's a nasty one. Don't know how long it will last. I am getting much better each day and should be able to meet with you sometime before this year is over. Take Care and stay ever vigilant. Signed, OMK.

sigh....It never ends. Well, no better time than the present to eat...laughing, Sahvi went downstairs.

I know it is not as much as you are used to...but, with the Holidays and all, I find myself a bit busy. I will try to write a bit each day. Thank*you for your understanding.

Wham, bam, scammin' you man!!

Virus Alert

Sky News has been told that Facebook users are most at risk from a variant of the Koobface virus, which has been disguised as a Festive greetings video, hosted on a YouTube site.

Security experts say the new virus is "particularly nasty" and compels its victims to participate manually in creating a new Facebook account to help spread the worm.

In previous years, variations of this virus have caused chaos across the web.

But internet security experts believe the new worm is likely to prove particularly effective in fooling users, because of the growing number of people who now opt to send out electronic greetings cards.

The attacks work by posting malicious links on Facebook wall pages, inviting users to click on the Christmas card videos. However, any attempt to play the video turns over control of the PC to the attackers.

There is no doubting that this latest Koobface attack represents a serious threat to social networkers.

Peter Lautin, Panda Security MD

The victim then sees a warning message, requiring them to solve a Captcha (Completely Automated Public Turing Test To Tell Computers And Humans Apart) puzzle within three minutes.

A timer ticks down and if the puzzle goes unsolved after the allotted time, the PC freezes up.

Experts warn that rebooting the computer will not help and the only way to end the loop is to solve the Captcha puzzle.

The victim would then be able to use their PC as normal, but the attacker would still have control.

While those targeted grapple with the unfolding problem, the worm separately uses the victim's computer to fill out a new account application, unseen by them.

The new account is then used to post more Christmas video worms in a continuing cycle.

Internet security company Panda Security has been tracking the latest variant of the Koobface worm from its labs in Spain.

"There is no doubting that this latest Koobface attack represents a serious threat to social networkers," the company's UK managing director Peter Lautin told Sky News.

"If someone runs the infected file on their Facebook or MySpace page, the worm will automatically log in to their account and several other social networking sites, sending malicious messages to all their friends.

"The more people who use an application such as Facebook, or any other means of social networking, the more likely they are to be targeted by bad guys to send out malicious threats such as Koobface."

The company recommends that users do not reply to or follow links included in unsolicited Facebook messages and users should always carefully check that the URL they are entering is really that of the site they want to access.

PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT YOU OPEN. This is serious. Please pass this message on to your own families

How To Find Consumables for Moscow Bosses

For Each Moscow Episode, you need special consumables to take down each Boss.

No matter what Episode you are trying to complete, these consumable-giving jobs always appear in the same location in the job list.

After you pick Vory or Mafiya in Chapter 2 and master that job, two new jobs appear beneath them. The bottom one (fourth job in Chapter 2) is always the one that provides the consumable.

So, in the job list for Chapter 2 in any Episode:

First job - Vory

Second job - Mafiya

Third job

Fourth job - Consumable for the Boss in that Episode.

Remember:

If a loot bag icon appears next to the money and XP gain you receive for a job, that means that the job sometimes gives SPECIFIC loot. If you move you mouse over that icon, a note appears on your screen telling you what loot you will get. This works in any city.

Collection pieces are awarded randomly, on any job, with a loot icon or not. This also works in every city.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As we all have seen, Bangkok will be the next Mafia Wars expansion.

Prior to the opening of the territory and being allowed to travel to it, players have to collect three loot items from other areas of the game. Once the territory if open and ready players will have to choose which side they are going to join, the Yakuza or the Triads, both of which are organized crime syndicates in Japan. The side players choose will determine the jobs they do to progress in the game.

Loot Items Required
In order to be ready for the release of Bangkok, players must locate three loot items. Once these items are in their possession they will be given their passport to travel. The passport will not be sent to players until Bangkok opens for business. The loot items needed are:
* Triad Coin
* Yakuza Sake
* Thai Note
The jobs they can be looted from are:
* NY - Soldier
* NY - Enforcer
* NY - Hitman
Players can find the loot items by doing the jobs on these levels that are marked with a golden elephant. It may take several times doing the job to acquire the item but once it is acquired a notification displayed showing it has been added to the Bangkok list of necessary items.

Choosing Sides

Zynga offers little information on how to choose sides other than the message on the Bangkok home page statement concerning the fight for control of criminal markets of Thailand. To help choose sides, some background information on their behaviors and typical activities can be useful.

The Yakuza

The Yakuza’s origin in Japanese syndicated crime traces back to the 17th century. According to Miyuki Sundara of the Organized Crime Registry the Yakuza are an all male organized crime group. Their activities include blackmail, illegal gambling, casinos, prostitution and smuggling. These activities will be what the jobs in game play will be based upon.

The Triads

Originally the Triads started as a resistance to the Manchurian Emperor. According to the website Gangland.net their name comes from the unity of the Three Harmonies Society, the union of Heaven, Earth and Man. Criminal activities included counterfeiting money and later counterfeiting products such as watches and other pricey items, as technology advanced they added pornography and piracy.

Both the Triads and the Yakuza are powerful crime syndicates that control the underground world in Bangkok. Players in Facebook Mafia Wars can use these basic ideas on the groups to determine which side they want to join when they start Bangkok

Astounded that the old man knew her name and family - Sahvi didn't know what to think? I guess the only thing to do is meet with Old Man Kuff. I will have to play this smart. Let him supply the information, don't give anything away. I will request to meet at the battleground ruins at dawn the day after tomorrow. Yes, the ruins always put him on edge.
Sahvi went downstairs and gave the innkeeper the message.
Will ya be eatin' this mornin' Miss? Yes, ma'am...I am famished as usual. While Sahvi waited, she thought of what she might do today? Yule is coming upon us fast, I should pick up a few trinkets for the family even if I won't see them for a while. Here ya are Miss, a good-mornin' to ya! Thank-you.
After eating and washing up, Sahvi left for the market.
Browsing the stalls, buying a few things here and there. She was headed back to the Inn, when the young miss from the kitchen came running towards her. Miss Sahvi, you have a visitor, come quick, he says it is most important.
Both of us running the rest of the way there...sahvi, burst through the door with the kitchen girl right behind...sahvi found the nearest bench and the kitchen girl went to get them something to drink. Now, that was a work*out. Whew, trying to catch her breath, sahvi had her head bent down and didn't notice the young man come from behind. Excuse me, are you Miss Sahvi? he asked. Who wants to know? Well, Miss I do. I was sent to give her a most important message from Old Man Kuff who is taking his rest some ways up north since he got caught in the newest battle. Sorry, can never be too careful...I am she. Caught in a battle you say? Is he alright? Oh, Miss he will be. Doc stitched him up real good, gave him some medicinals and put him to bed rest. But, he said I had to get this to you right away. Here ya go Miss. Sahvi took the message. My Thanks. Here are some coppers for your trouble and tell the old man I hope he gets better soon.
Would you like a meal before you leave? My treat! If it's no bother, I would like that very much. Ok, have a seat and I'll send round the kitchen girl to take care of you.
Have a safe trip back young man. Thank*you Miss.
Sahvi headed up to her room to read the message.
Sahvi,
I have been hurt during one of the battles going on so I had to send you the news by messenger. Hopefully you got it.
Ok, Cartels current status states Garuda declared war, why? Who cares. Strange but ok. Cartel also have a ceasefire with SIN.
|ВОИН| has declared war on the Officers of The Empire, which isn't good for us, we must try to keep a low profile. |wrath| is on hand to help out |ВОИН|. [HDC] are not participating in this war. {ATU} is at peace but, looking for a mock war exercise. ¦ANUBIS¦ has recently finished a friendly war exercise with [CMF].
Garuda is also at war with REAPER and SOG. They state their enemies: Legion with out blood family NBOG. I can't make sense of it...but there ya have it...
[BLACK HAT] is at war with Red Devils and Delta 9. So as you can see, it is quite busy out here. I don't advise traveling very far from the town center. As for our meeting ~ I will inform you of when I can travel again. I am sorry it must wait. Ease your mind knowing it is nothing bad. Complicated but not bad. I ran into your eldest brother he is fighting for The Officers Empire and doing well. He sends his tidings, since no one knows when they will get home again. Surely, you know that. Enough of this babbling, until we meet again Sahvi, Take Care and keep both eyes open. Signed, OMK!

Tid bits for the day...

First of all - please all refrain from using GREASEMONKEY, or any other BOT scripts. This is a game, not a rat race.
If you lose your account for using scripts, there will be NO PETITIONS asking Zynga to bring your account back!
This is a fair-play policy.

NOW - a few words from Zynga:

BOOKMARKLETS

Zynga: "bookmarklets such as switch, multigift and the like? you can use them, but we won't provide support for them, if you use them in a way that would cause you to look like a bot, our system may flag you."

Switch Profile and Multi-Gifting are the 2 main ones that was asked for their return, and they have no problem with these.

LOOT in MOSCOW BEING FIXED
"Moscow's job loot is hard to get on purpose."
Moscow's fight loot is broken and we are actively working to fix it again

ROBBING:
Zynga: "we actually had to take robbing down for multiple reasons, including game server health. we are still planning on bringing it back, but as you can see we want to clean up the bugs first, in fact i'd love to hear ideas for making it better. We will Beta the Robbing feature before it goes live and let you guys playtest it."

RACKETS:
Zynga: "We have wanted to make the Property and Economy part of the game more interactive and fun, so we had been testing a new way to make money. We often do small, slow rollouts of features to see if we have them right. In this case we decided not to give it to everyone for a lot of reasons.

Thank you!

this is Frwded from RTR's Sue:
Peter Lamb December 15 at 8:15pm Reply
We have heard that several major clans such as LCN and other have talked directly to Zynga developers via a chatroom. Here are the results according to MPC clan:

...Ok, I wrote up some specifics as to what the Zynga talk this evening was about! These are "quotes" straight from them.
.............................

THERE IS NO FEAR OF LOSING MAFIA WARS on the 20th!!

Zynga: "Will meet the deadline. We busted our butts to get into compliance over the last couple of weeks.
We are not in danger of being shut down but some of the recent changes have been to help facebook improve their user experience.
We are active partners with facebook. we are working and thinking to figure out how to follow their lead while keeping our experience as true as possible.
............

BOTS ARE BANNED!!
It was strongly agreed by all present MW Clan leaders that all BOT USE will be BANNED from Mafia Wars. Clans will enforce this, and any person's use of bots will result in them being Banned from any clan activity or membership, Attacked by one and all, and their account being permanantly deleted.
Included as a bot: Grease Monkey
..............................

BOOKMARKLETS
Zynga: "bookmarklets such as switch, multigift and the like? you can use them, but we won't provide support for them, if you use them in a way that would cause you to look like a bot, our system may flag you."

Switch Profile and Multi-Gifting are the 2 main ones that was asked for their return, and they have no problem with these.
....................

-FB/MW IDs are going to be returned to the way they were.
Zynga: " the fight IDs not working is an unintended bug that happened with our preformance upgrades. We actively working to get them fixed. we never wanted to break that manner of playing or fighting. we actually think the clan fighting is pretty cool and want to make it easier in the new year.

Zynga: "We have wanted to make the Property and Economy part of the game more interactive and fun, so we had been testing a new way to make money. We often do small, slow rollouts of features to see if we have them right. In this case we decided not to give it to everyone for a lot of reasons.
.................

GODFATHER POINTS:
Zynga: "i'm sorry guys we cannot offer you a 50% discount on GF points. We only offer that promo for a limited time to total newbies. we do have a program in place for people that want to wire in money that comes with a discount". (This new method helps prevent chargebacks from ceditcards/PayPal). "$500 is the minimum. Hassle on our end and player's end but safe against fraud."

"New player discount is for the first time buyers.. once they buy they dont get the same discount anymore.. its a promotion to get new players to consider buying and supporting the game."
.......................

Q: Is any kind of in-game clan warfare management feature being cosidered?
A: Yes. Clan visibility and improving fighting is a big part of our feature plan for the next 3 months.
......................

MORE TALKS are planned and will be subject based.

Zynga: " I would like to have one where i just get ideas for better tools for war. With clan warfare, the tools you use are pretty effient already.. we dont want to give you 1/2 assed versions of what you already use."

Zynga: "One thing that I would like to dispel, repeatedly reporting a user for harassment will not cause us to ban them. I know some clans think they can use this as a tactic to win wars. Repeatedly reporting false harassment will just decrease an account's ability to have their tickets responded to."
.....................

So there you have it, [MPC]! Working on an issue at a time.
Hope we can all hang in there, help with suggestions and ideas to bring to light, and make the best of this crazy time..

Looks like clans are in, switch and multigifting are ok, Sorry some of those were a repeat!! : )

Mafia Wars is Whack...

Here is what they say about that:

Update: December 11, 2009 7:20 p.m. PST

Hello All,

As posted previously, we have found a solution for the technical problem that has caused some players to be locked out of the game and for others to have their stats scrambled. It will take us a few days to repair the affected accounts but I want to reassure you again that we are on it.

Here is a list of the bugs/issues we have repaired this week:

Clan links were not working properly

Missing mastery bars in NYC & Cuba

Jobs tier bar not appearing in Internet Explorer 7

Wish lists not posting properly

Travel bar did not unlock at level 9

A few unlock items appeared without text in the job results screen

For some players, seeing a white screen when trying to access the game

Please note: Mafia Mikes no longer requires friends to acquire more cafes. It is now like the rest of the properties and requires cash to buy. Mafia Mikes is working as intended and not a bug.

We know there is much more work to do. Listed below are some of the bugs and features we will be working on next week:

Some players have had difficulty paying when multiple players are sharing the same Paypal account

Some players have reported losing some or all of their experience points, causing them to go back to a lower level

Localization into other languages

New Community Forum dedicated to Clans

Players seeing a white screen when trying to access the game

Special holiday loot and events

Have a great weekend everybody and thanks again for your patience this week.

Sincerely,

Justin, General Manager

Compliments of Officers Of Death Message:

Ive heard countless complaints of STATS and MAFIA count going down.

I myself was not spared. I had my ATTACK and DEFENSE STRENGTH going down to 12K and 11K, respectively . .and my MAFIA to 101.

Do NOT PANIC. There is a solution to this.

to CORRECT the MAFIA GLITCH:

Click on Mafia ( while in MW page) View (view 100 members or whatever the number is) Click on one person, remove from mafia. Click Home - the page refreshes and all your mafia is returned!

to CORRECT the STATS GLITCH:

Simply send a gift to someone in your family and your numbers are then RESTORED to the CORRECT one.

Her facebook name for the Lethal Politics account is Karen Streeter. She has cheated and stolen from two of the clans I am allied to... I have kept her on my friends list just to watch her... She is NOT a friend to have as a Mafia friend.

She is fighting with JSC's clan untagged at the moment.

Just more information for you, Good luck!

PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS!

You should be alert during the next few days. Do not open any message with an attachment entitled 'POSTCARD FROM HALLMARK,' regardless of who sent it to you. It is a virus which opens A POSTCARD IMAGE, which 'burns' the whole hard disc C drive of your computer.

This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address on his/her contact list. That is the reason why you need to send this e-mail to all your contacts. It is better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus and open it!

If you receive a mail called' POSTCARD,' even if it is sent to you by a friend, do not open it! Shut down your computer immediately. This is the worst virus announced by CNN.

It has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever. This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus. This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept.

Sir, sir, the innkeeper poked at the old man trying to wake him. Cough, a-hem, yes, yes, I'm awake! Oh my, what time is it? Tis evening sir. I'll never find her this way. I will leave a message with you and some more coppers if you would kindly see that the message reaches my daughter. Yes, my thanks sir. I will see that she receives your message. Will you be supping with us? No, no time this night. I will write the message and take my leave.

Please, be sure she gets this immediately! My thanks good woman. I will surely mention your fine establishment in my travels. Good-evening to you.

The innkeeper was quite happy with her extra coppers. Relishing the thought of drinking some good ale tonight.

Meanwhile, Sahvi was on her way down to the main hall ready for a hot meal... famished from walking about the city the whole day.

She decided to sit at the bar still wanting the feel of the city crowd. A young woman about her own age was wiping out mugs until Sahvi sat down. What will it be miss? I'd like the hot meal of the evening and an ale, please. That will be three (3) coppers. Sahvi paid and patiently waited. The young woman returned, immediately setting up a bowl of mutton stew, a plate of meat with a side hunk of bread. Sahvi's mouth was watering at the mere smell. Oh I am famished, Thank-you. Smells wonderful. Smiling and nodding, the young lady went back to her chores. Eating and making small talk with the other patrons.

Sahvi said, good to the last bite and started on her ale. She was about to take her leave when they all turned at the sound of the front door slamming.

Giggling loudly and stumbling her way past the tables, came the innkeeper. The patrons quietly chuckled at the sight. Sahvi shook her head in amusement as she headed for the stairs. You there, miss, hold on there just a moment. I need a word with you. Your Da' was here most of the day awaiting your return. He gave me something to give ya. Now where did I put put it? As the innkeeper rummaged around in her apron pockets.

Sahvi inquired about this person who was her Da'. What did he look like? Oh dear he was a bit older than myself, sandy-grey hair, blue eyes the color of turquoise. Quite nice he was. Hmmm...interesting! Well, ma'am have you found the item you were to give me? Acht hen, give me a minute, I'll go look in the backroom. while the innkeeper was in the backroom I stood fuming...the old man had the audacity to pretend to be my Da. The young woman came out of the backroom again, here miss, I was told to give ya this, as she handed the message to Sahvi. My thanks. Here take these coppers for your trouble. Was no trouble miss. Good-evening to you then. Sahvi headed up to her room to read the message. Throwing her cloak on the chair and herself on the bed she began to read:

Dear Sahvi,

yes, I know your name and plenty more. I waited all day for you to show up in the commonroom. We have to talk very soon. There are many things I must tell you. I know you must be angry with me for misrepresenting your Da', believe me, I was none too happy having to do so. Let the innkeeper know when and where we can get together.

Ok, now for the most recent news; The {Sicillians} are calling out for all their allies to help against what could turn out to be a very long and nasty war with {{FFNY}} and [WISE].As you read this the Officers Empire are engaged in a mock war exercise with the [BHR]. Best of luck and fun to them. EWMC is currently at war with Lycans, SBG, and Legion. [Δ9] Delta 9 Mafia [Δ9 are in 2 Wars 1)Unprovoked attack from {R.A.G} 2)Assisting SYR and RD with Valhalla and [♠Ŀ2‡ẻ♠].

≡M.I.68≡, their status states at peace. Their mission statement is vs VNMW...well, I'll leave the reasoning of that with you good people. Till, we meet again, signed, OMK!

Scam, bam, we're back again...

It has been brought to my attention that I leave out quotation marks among other punctuation... yes, guilty as charged. I write poetry, dabble in haiku, and about eight (8) years ago I tried to write a book. When it came down to it...after I had 3 or more pages I would edit and re*edit, edit some more, well you get the picture. I ended up with a paragraph if I was lucky! Needless to say, that book never got written and I have not written since then...my hubby likes to tease me and say isn't it time you wrote another sentence in your book...grrrr.. : )

Well, I finally figured out my problem. I almost didn't get this installment of the storyline out because of these old fears. I am a perfectionist with a fear of failure. It was a nightmare and so when I took on this assignment, I thought, I will do this for fun, my own way. I don't have to worry about rejection because I'm just trying to keep the blog from being boring. So, I apologize to all the people who like their punctuation and might be bothered by my version of punctuation. If I don't keep it fun and light, I won't be able to do it. Thank*you my facebook friend for showing me what my problem was/is!!

Christmas is coming so fast this year... I hope everyone is being careful out there. Hope you all have a safe and Happy Holiday season. Lets take the time to remember what is important in our lives. The reason we have holidays like Thanksgiving (I had plenty to be thankful for this year) and Christ*mas. Cheers til next time.

The old man was livid when he learned Sahvi aka woman had taken to spreading some news on her own. Blast that woman! When I get a hold of her, I'll box her ears!

He checked his demeanor before entering the hostel. Wouldn't look good to be angry when looking for one's daughter. Bah!, Thank the Gods that be 'tis not the truth. Pesky git.

Good morning to you madame, I am searching for my daughter, Sahvi, has she stayed here? She is of average height and weight, has long light brown hair, green eyes, and these days she's become a bit mouthy and argumentative. Do forgive me, that is a parents business. No need to burden you with all that.

Sir, are you staying for breakfast? If she is here, you may well see her. Sigh, I was getting nowhere fast. Yes, good woman, I will have your usual breakfast fare. I am afraid I don't have much time left. It would be a great service indeed if you could tell me anything ~ there may even be some copper in it for you. I'll have a think while I cook up your breakfast.

Greed, greed, greed! Hah, that's what makes the world go round.

Well, sir, here is your plate. My help say they saw a person of your description yesterday. Alright, that's a start. You don't mind if I hang around here for a little while? Not at all sir, you're a paying customer after all. Why, yes, I am. In more ways than one, I mumbled to myself as she happily walked away tucking the coins into her filthy apron.

Well, I don't know how long I'll be waiting and news changes so fast. I might as well tell you what has been happening; The Illyrians have chosen to go to war with the Officers Empire, lMWIl is at war with {TGF} and [VNMW], they also have a ceasefire with a clan named BEEF, they are new to me.[OIMW] is at war with - =>iD<=,

- |ώŗąтћ|, and -TRIADS. [MWB] is at war with [∞CHÄΩS∞], |ώŗąтћ|, and PETRONE.MF. (SMT)'s status is eating turkey. Ha, ha, so should we all. All this warring is making me hungry. I will finish my breakfast and wait...until next time.

Oh this just couldn't wait...as I've said before, things are always changing. Seems The Illyrians and The Officers Empire have a ceasefire as of this very day..what great news to end with. Till then..Good-day to you!

Scam, bam, They're at it again...

Mafia Wars Glitches and Fixes: 4 Glitches and counting!

This is a list of Mafia Wars glitches and a few suggestions on how to fix them. Please share this information with your own mafia members. The glitches include the following:

The Cuba Job Help Glitch

Locked Moscow Boss Fights Glitch

The Wishlist Glitch

The "New Loot" Gllitch

The Cuba Job Help Glitch: A glitch is occuing when your mafia members click on a Job Help request from Cuba. It does your New York job instead, it tells them the job is inactive (and it isn't), they have already done the job (and haven't), or the job is finished (and isn't) and gives them $1000. To get the correct link for your mafia, do the following:

Click on the original Job Help request.

In the URL at the top of your browser, (look for the section that looks like this: job_city=1&skip_interstitial) change the city number from 1 to 2.

Copy and Paste the new link into your status update or the comments section of the original request.

This should give your mafia the correct link to complete the job.

Locked Moscow Boss Fight Solution: Many people have the problem of all Moscow Boss Fights being locked. This is a link to a thread on the Zynga message board. It lists links to get the locked Moscow Boss jobs to work properly:

http://forums.zynga.com/showthread.php?t=265175

Read the first post, completely, and follow the directions.

The Wishlist Glitch: There is, yet another, Mafia Wars glitch. This one has to do with the Wishlist. When clicking on a mafia members Wishlist, players are, instead, being taken to their own Mafia Wars Profile. To correct this, do the following:

Go to the URL listed at the top of your browser.

In the address bar, replace the word friend with the word user .

Hit the ENTER key.

This should take you to the correct page.

Thanks to Laura Blair (who thanked Keith) for bringing this to my attention.

There is a glitch with the "New Loot" option in Mafia Wars. When you click to invite your mafia to grab the new loot, a blank screen comes up. Here is the correct link to offer your mafia a chance at the new loot (This week is the Power Plough):

Stretch, yawn,..m, m, m...Now, that was sleeping! I hop out of bed over to the window and draw back the drapes. What a beautiful day! All the hustle and bustle of life has started another day. I quickly wash up and head out to find something to eat. Wandering the market, food in hand, enjoying the scenery. I wonder if there are any ruins nearby? I stop at a stall selling strips of fabric in all colors imaginable, I love colors, they always brighten my mood. I inquire about ruins or battlefields in the area...the woman points to the north, crosses herself, mumbles something and walks away. Hmm, Ok, I'll just head north after stocking up on a few provisions.

As I make my way north, there are signs of recent scuffles. I poke through the leftovers. There are no more bodies, just broken weapons and such. Something sparkled out of the corner of my eye. Walking over to find a perfectly unharmed scythelike blade. It was covered in runes and had a shiny blue pigment over the blade. I couldn't make out much, except for a few letters; l, y, r, n, and s. A puzzle to be solved for sure.

Still rummaging the site, it hits me, the blade belongs to an Illyrian. I remember my Da' talked about them when I was too young to understand much. They must be sniffing around for trouble and by the looks of things, found some. I think I will take my treasures and head back to the village. I need to know more before heading any further north. Huh, where's the old man when you really need him?

Well, I'm off to eat my evening meal and sleep in the hostel. I'm sure tomorrow will find us some news...

Scam, Bam, at it again!

I awoke to the tantalizing smell of roasting meats. That's odd, I think to myself. I fell asleep in a meadow..hmmm, cautiously I get up, look around and off to the east about a mile or so I see the smoke. I quickly refresh myself and take off at a jog. Whew, I need to get into better shape. As I get closer I am relieved to find that the smoke is coming from an open*air market. Row after row of beautifully colored tents with people selling their wares. Oh but my mouth set to watering. I look from stall to stall. Decisions, decisions? I quickly walk to a stall selling sweet meats. Sir, I'd like two sweet meats and a pint of ale please. Yes, ma'am, coming right up. While I wait, I think to myself...now this is more like it. No bothersome old man, no news to remember as if I were back at my studies. Ahhh, a girl could get used to this.

I collected my meal, sat at a bench where others sat eating and resting. Enjoying myself, inhaling the sights and sounds around me. I was preoccupied watching some kids playing a game of spin the wheel, when my ale was nearly knocked from my hand. Oh, sorry Miss, I'm ever so clumsy. The poor fella was beet red and I hadn't the heart to give him a what for! It's alright young man, accidents happen. No harm done and no ale spilled. Miss, I was told to deliver this message to you. Oh, you must have the wrong person. I'm just passing through and I don't know anyone here. No, no mistake Miss. He pointed you out coming in from the west. Sighing, I said, he did, did he! Was it an old man, extremely bothersome? Well Miss, he was an old man, but he gave me some coins and to me that isn't very bothersome. Laughing, I shucked his head and also gave him some coins. My Thanks then lad...good day to you. Thank-you and good day Miss.

Just when I thought I'd lost him...oh well, can't be helped. Let's see what his Oldness wants this time.

Woman, I would have told you this news myself but, time waits for no man and I've got no time to waste...many changes all the time. Here is as up to date as it gets:

{FAM} are at peace, [MH] has a ceasefire with [REAPER], {IOB} finished a skirmishing exercise with [F5], LCN has decided one war isn't enough. Their current status is...at war with; Killer Clowns, TM, Cartel, ECMA, Armageddon/4 Horsemen and WZ. (SMT) vs {MMA}, Illuminati vs SPU. [VMC] are at peace. [SOP] not at war and have issued a ceasefire with SHAG.

That is all for now woman. Be sure to spread the news as you travel. Ugh, what is with this old man? Don't I have a life of my own..humph!! I will wander around all the rest of the day and stay at an Inn tonight. Spoil myself a bit and then move on. Until tomorrow then...

Scam, bam, yet again...

Today's scammers are:

Shahina Sonto Basuki, Ricardo Henrick Montoya, Nathan Spirit, Bobby Thomas, Boomer Brazil/Don Brazil, Greg Deeter, and Christine !=).

Don't Forget...

Black Friday Sale Blowout sale starting Friday, November 27th at 12:01am (PT), many hard to get items on sale at steeply discounted prices. Look for hourly specials and Black Friday limited edition items. Don't miss this golden opportunity. The event ends Monday, November 30 at 11:59pm (PT).

As I made my way up the path, which turned out to be pretty steep and a bit rocky. I was relieved to find a boulder big enough to sit upon and rest. I was so tired, I hadn't noticed the old man in the middle of a most beautiful meadow, full of every color flower imaginable.

Woman, what took you so long? grrr...this man is getting on my last nerve. Woman this, woman that.

Well no matter, he says. You made it up here.

I ran into a young man traveling north. He told me some tales from the south. Still talking to myself...only half listening to the old man. "Woman, did you hear me?" Yes sir, I heard you just fine. Make sure you do, this is very important~you must remember all of it. The young man said, LCN is also at war with ECMA. The Armageddon clan seems most busy with LCN, (*), and {{KOTR}}. |MWI| are in a skirmish with [IGF]. "Woman, pay attention!" Sir,...the old man interrupts me...hush now, just listen. I roll my eyes, sigh and listen, he isn't going to be quiet any time soon, anyways.{OIMW} are busy with |MWI| and [LnL]. (SMT) are on alert status. Ah, not so peaceful towards the south.[MIG] is supposedly at war with 10 clans but, mostly with {TA}, not to be confused with (TA) or [TA]! [S-B], and [VGL] just to name a few. Of course, the rumor is that [MIG] will always be at war with {TA} or any group that tags and harbors a person named Shawn Thomas, said to be a troublemaker with no character, a loathsome type. Best we all beware! "Do you remember all I've said?" Yes, old (cough*cough) Sir! I remember quite well. Then I'll be taking my leave.

Sir, what is the purpose of all this? Where do you come from? Why, maybe I should beware of you? The old man chuckles and says, "Woman, you have no need to fear me anymore than you need fear your own shadow. While pondering what he said, I looked up to speak but, he was gone. In his place was a leather pouch with the news foretold and a note that read, "In case you forget!"

Ha, ha, ha...this is absurd!

This meadow is so beautiful, I think I will rest the night here. I still don't understand, I left my village seeking a few trinkets and knowledge of ages past. Here I've stumbled into a strange adventure with an old man that I can't even be sure is real. Things will surely be clearer in the morning after a good nights rest. I will sleep on it...

Scam, Bam, Thank*you...ma'am

I found myself wandering the battlefields. I like to do this after a war seeking forgotten treasures and such. Today I happened upon an old man head bent and kneeling in the dirt. I turned to leave and he called out, you there, woman, come here. I didn't mean to disturb you sir. what is it you seek? he asked. oh just forgotten treasures and battle lore. Listen while I tell you, and I will tell you once only.

Garuda is at war with Triad, [LCN] is at war with killer clowns. There are tensions rising with the Red Devils and Garuda, also with Blackhat and Wyld. All others seem to be at peace for the moment.

Well, Thank-you sir but, I must be leaving. Take care woman and perhaps your path might take you up that hill yonder. Perhaps sir. Good day to you.

I do not understand what he says and think I must be dreaming. I write this to you in hopes that you understand his message.

Until next time...

Scam, Bam, Thank*you...ma'am
