Conspiracy Mission Event ends tonight

If you haven't finished the Conspiracy Mission Event, you're running out of time. It might have been an easy thing to forget, what with all this Christmas crap jumbled in the game all the sudden. You've got 6 more hours, make the most of it!

Conspiracy Mission Event: mission #10 Bonus mission, "Challenge Mission: Second Round"

Oh man, I'm glad to be done with this thing. In general, I like the idea of a bonus/challenge mission, but this was the icing on an already rotten cake, in this case.

Admittedly, I probably could have finished this a bit sooner, had I been more diligent about using stamina packs and declaring wars and collecting my properties. But I was flat-out outta steam by the time I got to this mission. This whole mission event was a terrible waste of energy and stamina in my opinion, and directly conflicted with other events going on in the game such as the Ice Seasons and mastery events. I highly dislike fighting in Chicago because of the increased stamina costs, especially when I would much rather have been working on the Ice Seasons. I REALLY hated blowing so many thousands of energy on this thing, when there was a mastery event in Italy that I could have/would rather have made much more use of.

You can collect from your Distillery every 8 hours, and you can declare a war every 8 hours, so if you were more on top of things than I was, you'd have finished this faster than I did. The icing was the hardest part for me to complete.

CHALLENGE MISSION: Second Round

Joe Castellano

You handled all that pretty easy. You want a real challenge now?

Objectives

• 0/5 COLLECT FROM YOUR DISTILLERY 5 TIMES.

  With some extra supervision, your Distillery might perform that much better.
  

  
  

• 0/75 ICE 75 OPPONENTS IN CHICAGO.

  Get rid of those fellas snooping around.
  

  
  

• 0/8 WIN 8 WARS.

  Good business is like fighting a war...

Ice Season 12 and 3x Italy mastery ends today

 

There are two more events ending in the game today.

You've only got a few more hours to finish Ice Season 12. As you can see, I won't make it. This'll be the first time in a long time that I haven't hit diamond. I'm starting to not give a fig about these ice seasons. Whose bright idea was it to push us to do so much icing in Chicago for the current Conspiracy mission event? Thanks to that stupid mission event, I am falling far short of even my regular rate of ices, much less anywhere near the mark of Diamond 5. Frankly, after so many seasons of falling far short of Diamond 5, I'm starting to not even care enough to try and be excited. Take that to the bank, Zynga. These used to be fun, now they're just another reminder of all the crap in this game I simply can't get to. That doesn't fuel excitement to play.

3x mastery in Italy also ends tonight at 11:59PM Pacific time. I was initially excited for this event, because I'm currently working on Italy. I really could have used it. But again, the #$%^@*& mission event prevented me from doing so. The stupid mission event was a freakin Chicago energy hog of the worst variety.

I'm getting tired of how Zynga can't seem to balance any dam thing in this game. I'm a wife and a college student, and I already spend too much time on this game even though I have more important things to care about. Zynga can't wring anything else out of me.

/rant. Hope you guys did better than I did.

Conspiracy Mission Event: mission #9: Bottom's Up

Hopefully you haven't collected from your Chicago properties yet, because the 9th mission in the Mafia Wars Conspiracy mission event calls for you to collect from your Truck Shop 3 times. You can collect from the Truck Shop every 8 hours.

The real bummer is the stupid job requirements. I'm not liking having to divert all my energy into exorbitant job costs in a city that I'm not even working on! It'll be over 8000 energy to complete that objective. *sigh*

Thanks Keith for the completed screenie...he completed this mission 36 minutes before I could collect the last time from my Truck Shop :D

Bottom's Up

Joe Castellano

Last thing, boss. Now that we're set up, we can release what we know about the government for public consumption. And tout our own brands as the safest!

Objectives

• 0/5 GET SUPPORT FROM YOUR MAFIA.

  Have your Mafia help you spread the word.
  

  
  

• 0/40 JOB: "ORGANIZE A PRIVATE PARTY"

  Hold your own holiday celebrations and promote your brand of drinks.
  

  
  

• 0/3 COLLECT FROM YOUR TRUCK SHOP 3 TIMES.

  Profit!

Conspiracy Mission Event: mission #7 Purification

 Mission #7 in the Mafia Wars Conspiracy mission event, Purification, is another energy hog :-/

The objective TRADE 15 ARMA CUNRAS FOR 15 HEAVY ASSAULT SQUADS is easily accomplished by posting to your news feed.

Clearing 3 robbing boards is also easily accomplished, but the yucky part of the mission is having to LOOT 25 WOODEN CRATES FROM JOB: "SET UP A DISTILLERY IN CICERO...remember to activate your Lockpick in Chicago before going at one. That helped me get 'r done.

Some players are experiencing terrible drop rates on the wooden crates though. 2 crates in 5000 energy is pretty bad. Thanks Keith for the screenie.

Purification

Joe Castellano

The only real solution is to start our own manufacturers, so we don't have to worry so much about corruption. Takeover of some current manufacturers would work, too.

Objectives

• 0/15 TRADE 15 ARMA CUNRAS FOR 15 HEAVY ASSAULT SQUADS.

  Send your Mafia some arms and they'll help you with takeovers.
  

  
  

  Friends who help get a reward.

• 0/3 CLEAR 3 ROBBING BOARDS.

  Put these shops out of business and you can buy their estate for cheap.
  

  
  

• 0/25 LOOT 25 WOODEN CRATES FROM JOB: "SET UP A DISTILLERY IN CICERO".

  Set up your own factories.

Conspiracy Mission Event: mission #6 Distillery

Mission number 6 in the Mafia Wars Conspiracy mission event, Distillery, will take some time to complete.

The objective TAKE OUT 9 RUTHLESS FEDS was the easiest portion, requiring 99 stamina on my part, and only a couple minutes taking out the NPCs labeled as Ruthless Feds on the fight list.

Building twice from your armory will take at least 36 hours if you don't do speed builds and don't buy your way out of the objective. I happen to do speed builds once or twice a day, so I had that one done by late this morning.

What actually took the longest amount of time, for me anyway, was icing 20 opponents in Chicago. Icing in New York won't cut it...I tried :0) Given the higher stamina costs to fight in Chicago (I still hate that about Chicago and Brazil), it took me about 3 level-ups to get those squared away, including using the Brazil stamina property with boosts enabled a couple of times.

Distillery

Joe Castellano

Can you believe this malarky? People won't stop drinking cause of the law, so now the fuzz tries to scare them into stopping by poisoning the alcohol supply! And they say we're the bad guys?

Objectives

• 0/2 BUILD 2 ARMORS FROM YOUR ARMORY.

  You're going to need to crack some heads. Gear up.
  

  
  

• 0/20 ICE 20 OPPONENTS.

• 0/9 TAKE OUT 9 RUTHLESS FEDS.

Conspiracy Mission Event: mission #5 Fermenting

The fifth mission in the Conspiracy Mission Event is called Fermenting. Annnd it's another energy hog. Geez. Fighting 95 opponents in Chicago was easy enough. It took a little while to get the needed responses as "support" from my mafia. Doing that job "STUFF LOCAL COP'S POCKETS WITH GREENS" took close to 5000 energy. No likey.

Fermenting

Joe Castellano

We gotta send our guys to hound down the trouble at the suppliers. It'll take time and money, but we gotta get to the bottom of this.

Objectives

• 0/8 GET SUPPORT FROM YOUR MAFIA.

  Have your Mafia help solve the mystery.
  

  
  

• 0/95 FIGHT 95 OPPONENTS IN CHICAGO.

  Beat some answers out of anyone you suspect might have them.
  

  
  

• 0/25 JOB: "STUFF LOCAL COP'S POCKETS WITH GREENS"

  Loose lips become even looser with some greens.

This is the 4th mission in the Conspiracy mission event. Man, so far some of these missions are really energy suckers :-/ And I hear it gets worse. Yuck.

Literal Poison

Joe Castellano

Poison! But how'd it get that way?

Objectives

• 1/10 ASK FOR 10 DOCUMENTS FROM MAFIA.

  Ask your Mafia to give a report on what they know.

• 0/30 ROB 30 PROPERTIES IN CHICAGO.

  Hit up your enemies and see if they know anything.
  

  
  

• 0/25 JOB: "CASE WAREHOUSES ON THE NORTH SIDE"

  Investigate the alcohol warehouses.

Conspiracy Mission Event: mission #3 Winter Wonderlands

This 3rd mission in the Conspiracy mission event was an energy eater! Don't bother with activating your Chicago crew for the objective LOOT 15 HIT SQUADS FROM JOB: "RECRUIT LOYAL GUNMEN",  because you'll have to do that job several times more than it already takes to master it. Presuming, of course, that you hadn't already mastered it. I had not. Now it's more than mastered :P

For the objective "Win 40 Fights in Chicago", don't forget to activate your mercenary crew position, then tear up a few players on the fight list to finish the objective painlessly. Targets don't necessarily have to be live targets, you just have to win the fight.

Winter Wonderlands

Joe Castellano

Boss, something's up. Several of our guys are seriously sick and the newspapers say there have been record deaths at the hospital. This can't be just a coincidence.

Objectives

• 0/40 WIN 40 FIGHTS IN CHICAGO.

  Beat some answers out of anyone you suspect might have them.
  

  
  

• 0/15 LOOT 15 HIT SQUADS FROM JOB: "RECRUIT LOYAL GUNMEN".

  Do some serious recruiting to buff your ranks back up.

Conspiracy Mission Event: mission #2 Tis the Season

This is the second mission in the Conspiracy: Mission Event. Activating 6 crew members in Chicago is pretty freakin easy--unless you go too fast. The game doesn't like fast players, never has. I activated all 8 crew members in Chicago, but only got credit for 4...sucks, now I have to wait 8 hours before I can activate more crew members? That's ok, I guess. One of the other objectives is to collect from the Distillery twice, and you also have to wait 8 hours between Distillery collections...

Tis the Season

Joe Castellano

We'll have to bring this haul back to our private factories. There's where the magic happens!

Objectives

• 0/6 ACTIVATE 6 CREW MEMBERS IN CHICAGO.

  Appoint your Mafia to oversee your establishments.
  

  
  

• 0/25 JOB: "RUN AN ILLEGAL ESTABLISHMENT"

  Hawk your wares.
  

  
  

• 0/2 COLLECT FROM YOUR DISTILLERY 2 TIMES.

  Pick up the profits.

Conspiracy Mission Event: mission #1 Moonshine 101

As per usual, the first mission in the mission event is one of the easier ones to complete. It took only a couple minutes to complete the fighting in Chicago requirement. For the Wooden Crate objective, don't expect that happen all quick-like, as they don't drop every time you do the job. I used full energy on the job, and then had to activate my Brazil crew and collect the energy property to get that one done...still though, only took a few minutes. Getting support from your crew might take a few minutes too, but hopefully you've got an active, awesome, online mafia like I do :0)  Accepting crew requests will also count toward fulfilling your requirements for this portion of the mission.

Welcome to Prohibition Smuggling 101.

Sounds great!... until some of your men start hallucinating and hospitals report a mysteriously high number of deaths to intoxication. Class dismissed! It's time to figure out who's been tainting the stuff you've been stealing and then deck the halls with shots and bodies. Complete Mission Event: Conspiracy by 4:00 PM (Pacific Time) on 12/20 to earn the Mortal Coil (95/159)!

Coming Next Week, 12-3

I guess the Tattoo Crates got rescheduled...fine by me. We will see the return of mission events this coming week, with the Conspiracy mission event. Another limited time item to build (NOT a limited time property); meh. The Don's Gift, I guess we'll have to wait and see what they have in mind for us. Of most interest to me is the Family Properties mentioned. 

Coming Next Week*
