SCRAPPY'S SICILIAN SPEAKEASY

Zynga Goes Pontius Pilate?
I haven't been to my Rivals page yet but according to MWLootlady, Jennifer Patterson, we can create our own Rivals list. Her report is found here: http://tinyurl.com/4r3dszb We'll be able to click a green "+" button beside a target's "Attack" button on the Rivals page to add them to our new list. One thing war clans will enjoy about this is it will show the user which ones are alive (when it works right) eliminating the need for a health check. I doubt that it will completely do away with the need for independent spread sheets. But it will make things easier for hitting the most favorite targets in a war, mock or not...Mafia Wars Maniac BlogI'm very happy to let you all know that the Mafia Wars Maniac Blog is back and running. This is a great blog with lots of historical data and has been a staple in the Mafia Wars community for a very long time. I was happy and honored Ade help on this blog and look forward to working with her some more....

MEMBERS FORUM
Have you noticed that you are only seeing updates in your newsfeed from the same people lately? Have you also noticed that when you post things like status messages, photos and links, the same circle of people are commenting and everyone else seems to be ignoring you?
Don't worry, everyone still loves you and nobody has intentionally blocked you. The problem is that a large chunk of your friend/fan list can't see anything you post because the "New Facebook" has a newsfeed setting that, by default, is automatically set to ONLY SHOW POSTS FROM PEOPLE WHO YOU'VE RECENTLY INTERACTED WITH OR INTERACTED WITH THE MOST (which would be limited to the couple of weeks just before people started switching to the new profile).
So in other words, for both business and personal pages, unless your friends/fans commented on one of your posts within those few weeks or vice versa - you are now invisible to them and they are invisible to you!
HERE'S THE FIX:
Scroll down to the bottom of the Newsfeed on your HOME page and click on"Edit Options". In the popup, click on the dropdown menu next to 'Show posts from:' and select "All Of Your Friends and Pages" and then clickSave.
Note: This is the fix for personal pages but I am unsure of whether or not the business pages are set up the same way.
Simply posting an update about it won't do any good because lots of your friends/fans already can't see your posts by default. You'll either have to send out a message to everyone on your list (which I'm not even sure business pages can do and is a rather tedious method) or post an event explaining the situation like this one and invite your entire fan base and/or friend list. You can also tweet about it hoping that most of your fellow facebookers are also on twitter.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE THIS NOTE WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN SO WE CAN TRY AND GET EVERYONE INFORMED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Anyone who isn't seeing your posts right now will never see them until they have changed their settings as explained above.

Had this poser just send me a message & I am for sure this is a scam:

Trent Younger

Hello Rick.

I'll be taking a leave from Mafia Wars, and I'm selling a good portion of my items for around 4 dollars per 100 items, and I'm flexible on the price.

I've got it all , even the +60 A/D weapons, the mission loot, the weapon/chop/armor parts, and the tough to find items like the lotto (daily chance) set, and the Stolen diamonds and the more common stuff, like phones and Blackmail photos.For him to have all this crap look at what level he is:
"Default Don" level 43 Maniac
I checked his inventory and he DOES NOT have anything!!!!!!! Most he has is 222 common weapons and only half a brain.
