Ice Season, Chicago double mastery, Holiday Treasure Hunt end today

Due to all the stuff, crap, and events lobbed at us last week by Mafia Wars, there are several things ending either today or in the very near future. Ice Season 13 will be wrapping up in a matter less than 4 hours now. How'd you do? Me, not so great. Again. Hate to say it but I've kind of given up on the Ice Seasons. They're impossible for a balanced player like myself to finish with everything else going on at the same time. Sucks, I kinda liked them, too :(

 Chicago double mastery also ends tonight, at 11:59pm Pacific time.

Also ending at midnight Pacific time tonight is the Holiday Treasure Hunt (yes, I finally found the timer) :D

The Toy Store will be wrapping up tomorrow evening.

So will the Lexington Hotel 'additional district'.

Also keep in mind that the contract missions will be going away in a few days.

Hopefully all of these things won't be replaced. We really need a break.

(more on) We're Wrapping Up Contract Missions

The official Mafia Wars blog made a follow-up post to the announcement in the game that contract missions will soon be going away. Of note, they explain exactly which missions are contract missions, which some of us were curious about:

This is just a quick note to announce that Contract Missions will soon be removed from Mafia Wars. Contract Missions are designated by the red crosshaired scope icon and now feature a timer, in their top right corner, that counts down to their completion deadline:If there are any Contract Missions you have yet to finish, you'll want to wrap those up before they disappear at 6:00am (Pacific Time) on Thursday, December 29th.

So the daily Family missions, the series of city-specific missions, and mission events aren't going away. 

Wrap it up! Mission "refresh" coming soon

WRAP IT UP
Contract Missions will be going away on Thursday, 29th December at 6:00 AM (PST) to make way for a Mission content refresh. If you haven't finished them, you better get moving!

Zynga has given us about 10 days' notice that contract missions will be pulled to make way for a "content refresh".

No word yet on when that Refresh will take place. What's a contract mission? It's all those un-timed missions hanging out in the background that you probably forgot......like me :-/ Oops, guess I better get moving.
