2nd ****UPDATE**** Missing Rob Squads 7/22

**** UPDATE #2 ****
Zynga is aware of the missing Rob Squads, but it appears to be unintentional

**** UPDATE #2 ****

Now that we have the exciting new Robbing Spree Event our Rob Squads seem to have disappeared.
*UPDATE*
From a reliable source, you can still use Rob Squads in Spockholm Robber BG v 1.08 beta
*UPDATE*

We still have burners, and *yes* the Rob Squads did say "Limited Time" for a very long time, so maybe we just forgot that the time was limited, the way that Zynga forgot that the Third Family Property is still "Coming Soon". 

I did find that I still have all of my Rob Squads in my Boost inventory, so we still have them. Maybe they'll come back later.

The Big Heist - Robber Interuptus

When you finish a robbing session with the new Rob Squad toy there are a couple of simple things to keep in mind if you want to use the Spockholm bookmarklet Robber:

Refresh the Board First

If you do not refresh the board after using a Rob Squad the Robber bookmarklet will stall... no error... no freeze... just no activity.

Refreshing Screen Finish

If you stop using Robber do not refresh the screen you may apply a Rob Squad to a partial page:

While the top line LOOKS like it has not been robbed... notice the refresh value is 0... these properties were robbed with the bookmarklet... I did not get a pop up to see what the bonus Xp was, but I was able to confirm that I got 2 Diamondbacks thanks to Inventory History.

How are you enjoying the new toys?

The Big Heist robbing event

I just started noticing these littering my news feed, and then saw a post on the fan page by one of our admins. Time to investigate!

I clicked on one and collected a "Rob Squad".

And there's now a big banner on the Mafia Wars home page about The Big Heist. "Max out robbing for 2x Rewards".

You can also ask for Rob Squads from your friends. 

On the robbing page I now see a Rob All button, and it says 88 stamina in parenthesis. That would be the total stamina cost to rob the entire board.

 I got this for a few seconds *g*

But then I saw the results screen with all properties robbed. Very nice! It's much easier to rob all properties with a single click, rather than clicking on each property individually.

Another Mistyfied admin noticed the additional bonus from using the Rob All button.

 The next big question would be, how many times a day can we collect these Rob Squads and use the Rob All feature? We know Zynga loves their irritatingly-low limits, and they do not disappoint in this case either. I got the message that I can only collect 5 Rob Squads 'from feeds' per day. That was only the second post I clicked on, but I did ask for Rob Squads via a feed post a few minutes ago, so you can only get a total of 5, at least from feeds, either your own or clicking on someone else's post. That sucks.

Lastly for now, I noticed the robbing screen has gotten some minor graphical changes. The Refresh button got a facelift, and so did the burners. It rather irritates me when Zynga wastes time (and I assume employee resources and therefore funding money) on updating stupid sh*t like this when there are so many other things in the game that the PLAYERS think Zynga should be focusing on instead.
