Warpath Collectable Stat Cards 9/17

New Warpath Collectable Stat Cards have arrived

I can't find a lot of information on what is on these cards. There is nothing on the Official Mafia Wars Blog and if you want money from me on something like this, you're going to have to do a better job of showing me what I get for my money. I see a "Chance to loot" and Archer, henchmen [230/230] but how many cards do I have to buy? 

Stranger's Swag: Millionaire 9/02

Today's Stranger's Swag

Millionaire, Henchmen [156/92]

Chefville Cross Promotion 8/21

Confectioner, henchmen [various]

Another fun cross promotion where many of us will play the game until we get the maximum rewards and then block the other game!

I played this morning to level 3, this is just a faster version of many earlier Zynga games. The timers are very quick so far, but we'll see how it goes. With all the problems I have had with the Ville, I doubt that I will play past the promotional period.

Chicago 2x Mastery: Wine Taster 7/22

Wine Taster, Henchmen, 56 attack, 134 defense

If you haven't completed Chicago yet, now is the time to do it! 2x Mastery and a chance to loot a Wine Taster!

By The Bookie Secret District (facepalm) 7/17

Bookie

(Henchmen, 84 att/ 192 def)

The banner just popped up in game.

I clicked "Go Now" of course, and was stopped cold by this

(facepalm) Seriously, Zynga? We already have *one* secret district going on, and you want to open this one up *and* charge me 35 Reward Points for the pleasure? I then clicked the cute little question mark next to the 35 RP deal 

The Bookie has good stats, for now, but still... more crap to send during a poker season?

*eyeroll*

Stop screwing around with all these secret districts and fix the Third Family Property and the Family Boss fights. 

5 things I would change about Mafia Wars
