CEMETERY ASK FOR PARTS "FIXED"

According to a post on the forum, the issue with being able to request specific parts such as tombstones, reciprocating saws, and plaster for your Cemetery is now FIXED.

I've done some quick testing of this, and that does appear to be the case BUT. It doesn't look like we're able to post for specific parts multiple times like we used to. Thanks for nothin', Zynga.

You can still use the General Parts Request numerous times using the Mission Crew Link bookmarklet. See HERE to learn how.

Continue building your Cemetery with Mission Crew Link bookmarklet

As we all know, the posts asking for specific build parts for your Cemetery, such as Tombstones, Reciprocating Saws, and Plaster, have been broken. Supposedly, Zynga pin-pointed the issue last night, yet here we are nearly 24 hours later. No word from the moderators and certainly nothing's been fixed in the game. Kinda sh*tty of Zynga, if you ask me.

Some of us have been using the Multiple Tab Method to ask for general parts over and over again, but there's only so many tabs you can open before your computer gets pissed at you. That, or Shockwave crashes. Which is what just happened to me. So I was happy to read a post be G(R)eek at MWM explaining how to use Spockholm's Mission Crew Link bookmarklet to continue generating posts for general parts. It also circumvents the timer (for the time being), so you don't have to wait 8 hours between requests for help, and you don't have to deal with multiple tabs, and you don't have to deal with a script that runs continuously while you're playing Mafia Wars.

Go to Spockholm's experimental page, and install the Mission Crew Link bookmarklet. To run this bookmarklet, you'll need to unframe your game first. If you don't know how to do this already, then you'll need to go HERE and install their Unframe bookmarklet. I'm assuming that you'll already know how to install Mafia Wars scripts to your browser; if you are not, ask a friend or ask me.

When the script is loaded, click the button for "Any Part".

Now this box will load on your screen. You can either copy the short link and share that on your Facebook wall, or you can click on "Post to wall".

"Post to wall" will generate the actual post, which you can then publish to your news feed as you normally would. Then you can close the script and go on about your game.

Bear in mind that 5 people can click on each post. After that, you can simply generate another one. No more waiting 8 hours, and no more multiple tabs!

I don't check out scripts as often as I used to, and I probably would not have known about this otherwise, so thanks to Mafia Wars Maniac for the post!

Can't ask for Cemetary Parts

Many players are reporting that when asking for the individual build parts needed to upgrade their Cemeteries, respondents are getting the message that "this post has expired". Some members of our Family had this problem, and now I see that many others are also reporting the same thing.

Apparently, this only applies to the posts that ask for specific parts such as Tombstones, Reciprocating Saws, and Plaster. The post that can be generated from your Mafia Wars home page does NOT seem to have this issue.

I don't know if Zynga is aware of this; they've got something on their Customer Support page about players not being able to upgrade properties, but the answer doesn't seem to apply to this situation at all.

For now there's not much you can do until you're able to ask for general parts. Remember that you can open multiple tabs and generate the help post numerous times as long as you do so before actually publishing any of them. Then you can leave the tabs open and publish the posts one by one until you have what you need.

Biker Clubhouse

The Biker Clubhouse just became available for building. Following in the suit of the other recent new properties, you will have only one week in which to upgrade it.

Doesn't look like any new parts will be required. We've seen the Plaster, Cordless Drill, and Reciprocating Saws as building parts for the other limited-time upgradable properties.

The Biker Clubhouse offers a slightly better defense stat starting at level 7. I've heard that property builds have been nerfed, and if that's true, Zynga is going to need to offer better stats than this or it simply will not be worth even building the properties.
