Removal of 'Ruby Level Butlers'

Some info from the Mafia Wars Customer Support page regarding those Butlers from the Save Don's Dinner event. I did not participate in that event, but this may be of interest to you~

Removal of 'Ruby Level Butlers'

Updated 12/08/2011 at 01:44

We recently discovered that during the 'Save Don's Dinner' event that our system accidentally credited more 'Ruby Level Butlers' to some player's accounts than it should have.  To protect fair game play among all players, we will be removing the extra 'Ruby Level Butlers' from those players accounts.  We apologize for this error and to those few players that were affected.

Each player that was affected will be sent a notification to the email address that is registered with their Mafia Wars account. The email that was sent to the effected player's contains the same information as is listed in the previous paragraph.  In addition to the email, the effected players will also receive a pop-up notification within the game.  If you did not receive these notifications then your account was not affected.

Because we have confirmed the accounts which received the extra items and have manually reviewed each account individually, there is not a need to submit a ticket for this as Customer Service agents will not be able to make any adjustments or credits to your account over this matter.

Again, we apologize for any inconvenience or confusion that this has caused to the affected player's.

Thank you,

The Mafia Wars Team

Save Don's Dinner

The Save Don's Dinner event has arrived, and looks like it will be with us for the next 8 and a half days.

EDIT, doesn't look like this has reached everyone's account yet. 
EDIT (by ~Anisty): slowly rolling out on accounts now.  Expect the fight page to now have this nifty bar where ~Z~ gives you yet another chance to spend your RP.

You can ask for Turkeys directly from the Mafia Wars home page banner, and you can also "earn" them by doing jobs and fighting. Apparently they are "stolen" from the other player when you get them from fighting and icing.

Sending "Turkey Protection" to your friends will help 'protect' their Turkeys from those fights. There isn't much explanation as to how that works; I would guess these act sort of like defense boosts, and you'll use one per time you are attacked, but I'm not sure.

There's also something here called "Turkey Vision", which will let you see who has Turkeys for you to steal.

The Don's invited you to Thanksgiving dinner, but he needs more birds.

Collect 25 turkeys and he’ll reward you with a powerful item: his right-hand man, the Butler.

Thanksgiving Turkey

Collect turkeys by doing Jobs*, or ask Friends*.

You can also steal them in Fights* or by Icing.

Ask for help and earn up to 5 turkeys from your friends.

Turkey Protection

Send Protection to your friends to protect their turkeys from being stolen. Collect* Protection to keep your turkeys safe.

Turkey Vision

When Turkey Vision is active, you'll see who has turkeys which are easier to steal! You have 5 mins of free Turkey Vision.

 GO FIGHT

Save Don's Dinner loot items added to inventory

Thanksgiving Turkey from Special Event
Turkey Protection from Special Event
Butler (A:155 D:95) from Special Event

Some new items have been added to our Mafia Wars inventories. These are very likely for the upcoming Save Don's Dinner event mentioned in This And Next Week. The Turkey Protection and Thanksgiving Turkey look to be the items we'll have to collect, and the Butler will be the mastery item. I'd guess we can look for this event later today, or tomorrow at the latest.
