One of the ways I get a handle on what players are looking for to make their game experience in Mafia Wars better is I review the actual search terms that are entered in real search terms entered in Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. The hands down winner is loot. It is the most misunderstood I would think because the game doesn’t allow you to buy loot. You either get it in a fight or through doing a job that sometimes rewards loot.

You won’t improve your chances of getting loot in a fight if you use the Top Mafia for adding your best game partners, but you will improve the take in jobs based on the level of your partner. If you are doing a level 40 job and only one of your partners is level 40 or higher you will only improve your job take slightly because only 1 player goes along with you in the job.

Some of the newer loot items only appear in the upper jobs like the Humvee. I currently only have one and got it in the Break Into the Armory Job in the Underboss Jobs. A simple way to look at loot items is, the more valuable the item, the higher up in the job list you will need to go to get it. So fighting is the best way to get the good loot.

I enjoy reading some of the search terms because they strike me as funny and I think I get an idea for what frustration the player is getting. So I would like to share some of them with you and some of my comments on each. It’s kinda’ like funny home videos for Mafia Wars. I hope you find them fun and maybe they will help relieve some of your frustration with the game.

was sind loots gut mafia wars

(what are good loots mafia wars) Google Translate told me it was German and apparently they don’t understand loot in Germany either.

why do i keep losing on myspace mafia wars

Stop playing on MySpace and sign up in Facebook! I run both and I can’t figure out how to add players in MySpace so it is a lot harder to grow your Mafia. The game is a lot easier and more enjoyable with more players. Facebook is a much better platform for adding players. It is much better as a social networking platform as well, in my opinion.

why can’t i buy properties on mafia wars

Maybe you don’t have enough money! Your money can’t be in the bank and you must own the associated undeveloped property. No abandoned lot. No restaurant.

how 2 get more mafia in facebook mafia wars

Add them from other games! I find it curious that in the latest update Zynga didn’t bring along that ability from Pirates/Football/Space Wars and a lot of their other games. Basically you add friends in those games and invite them at the same time. If you look at their news feeds you will see what games they play. You could also send them a message and ask “Do you play any games where you would like more players? What’s the weather like in your town? Do you have this problem with this game? etc.” That’s what Facebook is designed for. It’s a social networking platform. Make some new friends. They won’t bite. Warlords, Drinking Wars and Hammerfall RPG are other games that will allow you to add players.

mafia wars auto buy properties/automatically buy property mafia wars

These players were getting bored, too. When you haven’t played for a bit, it gets frustrating buying properties. What do I buy with that billion. Oh I still have 82 million left.

never get put on hitlist “mafia wars”

Apparently, little Johnny feels left out. Two ways to guarantee you get on the hitlist. Attack the guy who puts somebody on the hitlist, not his target or just keep punching some guy in the head.

you need an abandoned lot in order to buy a mafia mike’s.

Yes you do! Try to add a mafia mike’s every two new players. Don’t accept them as a group. I have 22 Mafia Mike’s with 53 total members so I missed some opportunities along the way. I’m in no hurry to get to 501 players. I personally don’t understand the reason why you would want to use the game up so fast. It has to be quite boring at that level.

buy armored car in mafia wars

The armored car is loot. You can’t buy loot. You get loot in fights or jobs that sometimes reward loot. I don’t remember what job gives what in loot.  A good plan of attack is to do only jobs that also occasionally reward loot. At higher levels you really don’t need the money do you.

why doesn’t use all my inventory on mafia wars

Each member of your mafia gets to use one weapon, one armor and one vehicle only. The game figures out automatically which ones are the best from your total mix including loot based on the attack/defense values. If you only have 20 members, 25 chainguns just costs you more in upkeep. Sell off the excess even though you only get half value. In this case, if you had 5 Napalm then you only need 15 chainguns.

mafia wars add without adding friend facebook

Apparently, Johnny prefers imaginary friends to real ones. For me, this one is more unsettling than funny. Kids need to turn off the computer and go play pick up baseball or road hockey or soccer. They honestly don’t know how much more fun it is to play with other kids. Read You wanna’ play in or out

need energy boost on mafia wars

Try a Red Bull! Only your playing partners can send you one. That’s what friends are for. The energy boost adds to your current energy level based on your maximum energy level. If yours is 100, then it increases by 25 and must be used up in the next 24 hours.

about

Face? That had to have 300 or 400 million matches.

I know because when I first googled Stuff123 it came up with 370 million matches. I can write about almost anything then but I think you can see it’s not like other stuff you see on the Internet. It’s more about having fun.

Games are about fun. Winning is the result of having way too much fun.

Now turn off your computer and go outside and play with your friends. Save the computer games for when it’s raining.

TK, the big cat lover , put that in her Facebook status.

I might look at a Subaru or something different nowadays, but first I’d have to sit in it. Test drive would be good, too. And it would probably be white.

I’ve had a number of different cars over my time behind a steering wheel and rented many others in various business trips and I have come to a simple conclusion about a car. The most important thing it should do is get you from point A to point B as efficiently as possible.

Since I live in Canada, I used to always look at the big 3—Chrylser, GM and Ford aka Fix Or Repair Daily. I didn’t have any good luck with Chrysler’s or Ford’s so I leaned toward GM and specifically Pontiacs—6 or 7 in a row.

The last few have been much more comfortable because they cut out padding from the door so the interior is wider and they opened up the area around the pedals so my feet weren’t cramped.

They drive very nicely. When I accelerate it responds as it should. When I brake, it stops quickly. Brakes should be 4-wheel disc and ABS. Tires should be the best you can afford. The car would be white in colour, because it hides the dirt best and comes up clean. Get the paint sealant option so you don’t have to wash and wax it so often.

Why the Subaru? If it was good enough for the Aspen police force, then it will work in my neck of the woods, too. Other vehicles will have to do the same.

I would avoid the hybrids for now. They are a very good idea but I think you will be paying for research and development costs for a few years yet. The technology isn’t proven and the repair costs will be high because you will be forced to go to the dealership a lot more. It should be respectable on gas consumption.

I would take any new car to my car guy at Alfonso’s garage. The dealership visits will only be for recalls and warranty issues. Alfonso will tell me straight up what needs to be done and he lives and breathes cars. So, in my eyes, he is an expert and I don’t feel like he is taking me to the cleaners.

The bottom line for TK is get a car that you would like to drive. Sure, make some practical decisions on what works and what doesn’t but you are going to be driving it so it should suit your needs and not what others tell you.

Talk to some more friends about their ideas, and then go sit in a few cars. The car will tell you whether it is right or not. It’s not much different than buying a new sofa—just waaaaay more expensive.

Spend wisely and get a good pair of polarized sunglasses and a nice driving hat, if you are into hats. It’s a mode of transportation, not a reflection on your personality and a measure of your success.

Opinions are OK. Recommendations are just stronger opinions. Car of the Year awards are more about “bribing” the writers to get them to vote for the car.

So buy the car that makes you the happiest. It’s your money and no one should tell you how to spend it.

I think the one in the picture isn’t a good idea. Where do you put the golf clubs?
