BULLIES: The Spearhead Of Cyber Crime



From The Editor

(Edtorial: An article in a newspaper or other periodical presenting theopinion of the publisher, editor,  or editors. See: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/editorial)
Hi Gang, once again to day we are coming out a bit late in the day because of a series of strange web issues plaguing FB and a number of group pages. The general alerts indicate hacking attempts but, the strange thing is that the supposed hackers left their  "fingerprints" everywhere. Most half decent code jockeys would never leave a single traceable element (let alone their IP addresses on their handiwork). We have taken care of all issues and are now in the process of helping other groups that experienced similar "break ins'. All instances involve very little actual damage and, resulted in nothing more than a few annoying log in issues and, in a couple of cases (The Chill Org  Intnl for example,) admins were banned and images were erased.  Nothing worthy of a real hacker so, the issues and names showing up in the warning messages have been reported for investigation to Facebook. We'll let you know what those results are as soon as they come in.
*****************************************

A very special announcement for

The Chill Organization International,,,

Dear Chillers, though many of you know that I have been affiliated with the Chill almost since it's creation, some of you may not know that during one of  the first and one of the toughest wars of the Chill I served as Consiglieri for Charlie.  As Because I was already a know negotiator  veteran of several other major conflicts, many of the Chill enemies came to ask or, at times demand that I remove myself. They were never able to sway me and, I only left the Chill when I felt Iwas no longer necessary and  frankly,  did not have the time to deal with some of the internal issues arising from the "growing pains"  every good group has to go through as it matures.
Though I have been offered many a tag in many a great and Honorable group, I also decided long ago that the only way to seem impartial to all groups was to carry no tag nor, the protection that came from it . The only such mark of class was also for a long time, the image Charlie made for me as his way of thanking me for all the work I did in the open and , behind "closed doors"  negotiation peace agreements and the like for the Chill.
Ever since, The Chill Organization has had a very special place in my heart even tough I have never come to the Chill , or any other group, asking for anything . But, because the Chill is so special to me and though my friend list sits between 5000 and 5004 (for whatever reason I always end up passing the FB limit) with  a waiting list of FR's averaging 50 - 100 players at any given time, I have always given preference to  requests bearing the Chill name. Anyone coming to me from the Chioll has always found open arms and friendship confirmation as soon as i have been able.
In recent weeks, a decision was made between Charlie and me to further expand the  reach of the Chill by using The daily post. Many things were discussed in private because doing so openly would have jeopardized our ability to fully develop our projections.  My staff has full trust in me and, I have full trust in them but, even so, much of the planning had to be confidential.
What I can tell you is that the Chill will soon have their own publication and, with it a number of the benefits we are also offering our readership (note that I say readership and, not membership).  I have never been interested in developing membership, the Post is and always will be a news media and  service organization/ We have helped player with countless issues and provided a platform for all sorts of good causes. Our deepest belief is that of the value of Honor and Respect and, the power of a united community. Along the way we have also had a small number of detractors. The come mainly form the ranks of bullies or petty criminals we continually expose and oppose. Once in a while, we have been disappointed in those we have embraced and give everything to, only to find they were never really willing to help their piers but , were only looking for opportunities to enhance themselves. Just to be clear, I am not making reference to any recent member of the managing editorial staff. Karen Massey and June Laughter will always have a home at the Post and a special place in my heart. They paid their dues time and again through all those many, many late nights racing to publish, helping their community selflessly and with the impeccably ethical  warrior spirit they both are such great examples of.  I  hope they know this even as time continues to pass.  Good people  are never forgotten.
This morning, Charlie Chill (Chill Creator and to GF) called me with the concern that one of the core sites of the Chgill had been hacked. In order to help out in the best way we could, Charlie was given immediate command of two of our groups and approximately one thousand of our players  to start immediately rebuilding. As the day progressed every thing was sorted out and, the core group was declared safe again. Nevertheless, the two groups assigned to Charlie and, the members there in, will remain under his control and become the new home for a couple of his Satellite Chill groups. Neither myself nor, any of my staff will be involved in any of the Chill business we are not invited too and, will probably have little or no contact with chill membership other than through  a publication.
I realize many of you may have misconception still of how my staff and I operate. Please trust that rumors of the size of my ego have been greatly exaggerated (LOL). I also understand that a few of you have real issues with having The Daily Post  delivered to your  inboxes and, know that we understand. Every single one of our readers has always had the choice to leave our pages in order to stop getting the post. I am prod to say that in all the time we have been posting the number of rejection has not gone over 100  (if that many). Considering the total readership , that is a number we are proud of. Clans and groups of all sorts continue to place their notices on the post and, we don't really carry advertising, to date we have not even asked for contributions to us of any kind.If you have ever read it, you would have noticed we use the Post to offer alerts, solutions, training  videos, and all sorts of  news teasers and links from the best sources on the web. That said, part of the plan you were not privy too is the creation of a Chill section and, eventual stand alone publication. The sequence began with setting up deliveries and using all sorts of ways to evaluate the reaction  of membership. Strict notes on complaints, sources and types have been taken down for analysis and, correction.
The second phase (which will begin next week), involves selecting a staff from the ranks of the Chill, to be trained for the express purported of creating , editing and posting this new Chill enterprise. Again, let me assure you that once established, this will be a totally independent item exclusively manned by hand picked Chill members to cover chill interests only
I have learned much and, have manged to grow my own organization to some 30,000 plus in my own proprietary pages plus an9other 30,000 (+/-) in pages we have also been asked to admin for the specific purpose of distributing The Daily Post. I have never asked to do this, the invitations have come in because my team and I have carved a reputation of fairness and service to others ever since  TDP was first conceived.  I am by trade a professional journalist blessed many times in my professional and personal life. and, having found many of these blessings in the rich and loyal friendships developed here, paying it forward has become a way of life.
If you would like to be considered, please contact Roberta Berna directly as, she has indicated to Charlie an interest in exploring her participation in the publication. I have not yet spoken to her directly so,  I apologize in advance if somehow I got that wrong but, given  her position of leadership within the Chill she would probably be the person to gather the names of any a members interested I being contacted for an interview. At any rate , she is in direct contact with Charlie at all times and, will be able to direct you better than I could.
In the meantime I ask that you are patient and, take advantage of the information provided in the Post.  Suggest sections, ask for specific coverage odr simply send in comments (positive or negative ALL PG  content sent in is published with out prejudice or, censorship.) We are straight shooters, and as TDP continues to expand into Google groups, Yahoo , Myspace etc, etc (we already footholds in most social networks, my time here becomes more and more limited but, be certain that I am always accessible to any one who needs  a friend
Honor and respect to all of you,
Killing and Chilling forever,
Bill Lara
Editor in Chief

PLEASE HELP US HELP ROBERT!

I am a true believer in our community. And, I have been ever so fortunate to find a great deal of wonderful people in it. One such person is our new Business Manager Robert Slade Russell. Robert is in the same bind many of us are in these rough economic times but, in his case ther is a not so common burden as well. His mom has been diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus and, though not usually survivable, the diagnosis was early enough that the treatment prescribed may see her out of the woods yet. Ufortunately this is very expensive.
His Mom needs is a BP Monitor ($90.00) and a finger pulse oximeter ($75.00) in short they need $165.00 for the both but, they would will be great full just to get the 2 medical monitors she needs if they could be donated.
Robert is a long time MW player who was around  before The Post or,  even Jeniffer (the MWLOOTLADY) began writing her blog. He is honorable, humble and a great friend. So, when we found out of his need, we took it upon ourselves to come  ask our community for help in his name.
If you have any of these items stil in working order that  you need any more and are wiling to send him, please let us know and, we will get you in touch with Robert or, you can contact him directly via his profile page : http://www.facebook.com/robert.s.russell
If you would rather make a monetary contribution for this or, to help him with ongoing expenses, you can do so directly through his pay pal account at: fullthrottleradio@yahoo.com
Thank you all in advance for anything you can to for Robert and his mom. I know you are a generous bunch and, I also know that we here (MW/FB) do take care of our own. Be sure that your help would be greatly appreciated and, if you happen to be a business owner and, think our publication could be an asset to your marketing strategy, we will carry your ad  for one to three months and, contribute the entire amount to Robert’s cause.
THANK YOU DIXI!




I'll send a little when I get some money Bill...I wish I was working and had any to give...I would buy the items for them...I know what they're going through. Didn't want you to think you're speaking to no one, I'm listening but very limited right now. I've included them in my prayers.

---
THANK YOU SCOTT!
Scott just made a contribution to Robert's fund!

Just when things are seemingly at their worst

~ a mini miracle happens... =)

Hi everyone.
Ummm...I apologize for how...negative I was last night. Guess I just needed to air all those doubts; cry a good cry and step away for a few hours of doggie-time so I could remind myself I need a swift kick in the arse sometimes...
I'm feeling...better now. =)
Last night was a brutal night ~ Bear stayed much the same - unable to move from wherever I placed him and whimpering. I admit I thought hard about what was the right thing to do...for him - and a good part of me thought...maybe all of this - failing - is meant as a sign that the time has come to just admit defeat and say goodbye to him. But that damned WAG. Every damned time my eyes met his, he'd WAG ~ and I started to have this crazy feeling that he was communicating with me...telling me HE was trying to be positive and trusting...why couldn't I? I lied my head down for maybe an hour and awoke having made the decision to have a serious discussion with his vet about quality of life/ his pain/ and the responsibility of a good doggy-mama.

Paul Rugg an admin of the Mafia Wars Loot Lady Fan Page and creator of many things posted on this blog has found the evil twin of our beloved Golden Poison Frog. The Golden Poison Frog is actually a mirror image of the real life Golden Poison Dart Frog and he is a very bad actor (1)....

I've seen this post in my news feeds a few times today and I'm not sure where they are being generated from. I love how the description of Mafia Wars is called a game of power and deception.  Whenever one tries to deceive Zynga, they get rolled back! I see a few other discrepancies....
There are 2 New Loot item  that were introduced to the Marketplace. First one is the Lattice Armor with 69att/99def and will cost you 25 RP. The second item is the Warmonger with 100att/59def and will also cost ya 25 RP. Article written by Mike Nestor, Admin of the MW Loot Lady Blog, The Mafia Wars Loot Lady Facebook Fan Page and Crew Member of The Informant Podcast. All material is protected by...
Some Changes have taken place with the Operations. I will start with the new one "Evade The Coast Guard", it is a Hard Operation and takes 5 people to finish it. The 2 new items are the Screech Owl with 48 att/78 def and the Rainbow Boa with 80 att/50 def....
As stated below(1) by Jen, the new Mission, Friendly Fire has already started shortly after the previous one has expired. Start it by clicking the "Start Mission" button on the home module or from your missions tab. Part 1 Quickie In the first part you have to Collect from your warehouse 2 times, Do the job "Do Some Late Night Shopping" which is in District 3:The Lower Strip of Lad Vegas and then Take...
The Take Back The Street Mission expired about an hour ago and the paint isn't even dry on the Home Page spot. The Friendly Fire Mission has taken it's spot. We have 7 days to complete the Mission and get all the rewards. I'll be off line most of the night but will have a walk through for you as soon as I return....
You know the Secret Stash pop-up that we get from doing jobs? You can pick the least crappy of 3 items to share with your mafia or close it out. The Official Mafia Wars Blog posted that this feature is going to be updated and scope fighting and robbing in addition to jobs....
As with a lot of things in Mafia Wars, the Loyalty Program items are in bad need of an update. If you've been playing the game, chances are you have acquired quite a few Loyalty Points. I do buy Reward Points so I have way too many. I haven't used them because there is nothing worth spending them on. I'm sure we all remember when Zynga took away the one item that...
While looking at my Loyalty Program page in the Marketplace, I noticed a change.  There is now a box for Platinum Level players that says "Questions? Contact Platinum Customer Service". I clicked on the link and the "oops" page was flashed. It redirected me to the Zynga Customer Support Page with a non working Live Chat image on the right column....
Wow, there isn't much going on in Mafia Wars right now. I'm sure this is like a quiet before the storm kind of thing. For now here is a totally useless post. A few days ago, I showed you what was really scoped out in the District 1 of Brazil (1). Now go to District 3 and you can see our boy has made some progress in this relationship....
