If you see your friends ask for this Special Part, you can click to help and get one item as well! So don't feel hesitate to help your friends!


Of course, there is a limit of helping/receiving them in a day.
Ppsssttt, you can use Stream Helper Beta from Spockholm tool to collect or send the Special Parts..

Anyway, here are the new vehicles from Chop Shop and the new weapons from the Weapons depot!

CHOP SHOP NEW ITEMS



WEAPONS DEPOT NEW ITEMS


All of these items can not be sent as gift! So we have to build them by ourself.. Choose your items to build wisely, because we can only build 1x vehicle and 1x weapon for free in a day.. You still can build more than one item using Reward Points..

Happy upgrading, my friends! Trinity's mood

FB Banning - Skype Chat With Zynga & Clans

Thanks to Mak who eager to share this kind info..
Very useful for you if your Mafia Wars account is being banned from FaceBook. Please read on..

This is taken from a room on skype with some clans representatives and some zynga reps. They are aware that the FB bannings are increasing and in order to help, this is their suggestion:

[8/20/10 4:13:38 PM] nate.zynga: So obviously we want you to play the game and banned accounts keep you from doing so. It is not good for us nor is it good for you. So in order to help track these issues, we have a process we will need you guys to follow...
-----------------------------------------------
game logo

If you get banned...
Submit a CS ticket... "I've been banned from facebook!" or something to that extent. You will get a response with a specific escalation URL for Facebook
Use that URL to appeal your ban to facebook...
If your ban is lifted... Halelua!
If not...

Copy the response you get from facebook and reply back to the CS ticket with the response. We will then be able to take that information and escalate it from our end. So... here is why we need to do it this way...

We need you to submit the ticket so that we can have a solid tracking in our system so no one gets dropped in an email shuffle. Use the URL that we provide you to appeal, while there are many URLs out there that can do the samething, this one is specific to our issues.

And we want to know the response that you get because we want to know what is being communicated back to you.


Use the above guideline if you ever find yourself FB banned.


Also, it was hinted at that accounts that are looked at are accounts that are created only for gaming purposes, have no personal data, one or two cartoon avatars at most. So basically fake names, energy mini's, and so on. Read below:

[8/20/10 5:02:16 PM] nate.zynga: I don't... Zynga doesn't condone the creation of fake accounts for the purpose of playing the game... but this I can say...
[8/20/10 5:03:42 PM] nate.zynga: If all you have is one cartoon image in your account and no personal info/message posts... it is highly suspect :).
[8/20/10 5:03:56 PM] nate.zynga: And we completely support Facebook's ToS :).

We asked Nate if there will be a platform for us to play on that does not require a FB logon (if you are banned):

[8/20/10 5:16:29 PM] nate.zynga: Yes... we are looking at options to improve the game and playing experience... any change... be it swaping energy packs in game or creating an entire platform, requires time to plan, program, test and implement. The larger the change, the longer it is going to take. All I can say is that there are many projects currently in many different phases... and we still have to provide new challenges to keep the game interesting for all level of players :). Fortunately we have teams of people who are able to work on multiple projects at one time. So while it may seem that we keep launching missions or new cities... that doesn't mean we don't have another team working on other issues/improvements.


Please notice that it is for "real" account only! Not for fake accounts, fake names, the ones who don't have any info, photos, etc... These accounts will never be forgiven by Zynga or FaceBook!

So if you have lost your FaceBook account without any warning, please use this way. Hopefully Zynga team will be able to reinstate your account.. very soon..
I wish you all a very good luck!


PS : Credit goes to all people who have participated on this event...

Gold Player!

This is a small info about the Loyalty Points..
Our friend, Mak, has this pop up on his account.. He never upgrades his Loyalty Member from Emerald to Gold. It's just suddenly he is awarded as a Gold Member from the start!


He got the bonus weapon.. but that's all!
No more bonus, only a suggestion to add more Loyalty Points by purchasing Reward Points...
Cheap trick!

Thanks for sharing, Mak..

Hot Slots Achievement

I forgot to play this Mini Game lately.. but this is only a friendly reminder to encourage your friend to play your Slots Machine game..
If you feel so lazy to go to your friend's Mafia Wars profile, click to play their Slots, you can use "Loose Slots" tool from Spockholm team to automatically search for your friend's Mini Games and play it! Thanks to Spockholm team for the great tool..

What I don't like from this Property is it doesn't show my mafia name correctly..


Ok, feel free to ask your friend to play your Slots everyday..
Why do you have to do that?
Because we have Achievement for having 1000 visits from our mafia friends!


I got the above screenshot from our old friend, Luis.. He earned this Achievement few days ago.. Great job, my friend! Enjoy, mate

So don't forget to ask your friend to play.. Happy gaming all!
