MAFIA WARS Ice Season 17 ending soon!

Those of you still trying to complete Ice Season 17 for Mafia Wars are now fast running out of time: you have less than 90 minutes!! Or hopefully, you're already done. I didn't touch this ice season. I've been dealing with a family crisis on top of my normal class work, and I've been lucky to be able to check the game a few times a day! Better luck next time, I guess--we'll see Ice Season 18 before too long.

MAFIA WARS Ice Season 17 begins

Just what I wanted to see when I'm behind on schoolwork again--something else to do in Mafia Wars! Ice Season 17 started a little while ago.

The Skull Cracker is this Ice Season's reward, its stats will increase the higher your mastery level, or how many ices you get. Looks like you'll have 1 week to obtain 1000 ices.

I think I'm going to have to sit this one out. Again. I've given up on the Ice Seasons, really. The past several Ice Seasons have only served as reminders that I simply cannot complete everything in the game, which makes the game less fun for me.

Good luck to all you icers out there!

MAFIA WARS Ice Season 16 melting quickly

There's now a little over 5 hours left before Ice Season 16 for Mafia Wars is in the books. School has been particularly overwhelming the past two weeks for me, so I did even worse than usual :(  Hope you're doing better than I am...get your ice on!

MAFIA WARS Ice Season 16 just kicked off

 

Looks like Ice Season 16 just started a few minutes ago in Mafia Wars. The grand prize is Ribbed Ankle Boots, which can be earned with stats of up to 118 attack and 159 defense if you manage to reach Diamond 5. Other than that, it looks like pretty much the same drill as for many previous Ice Seasons in Mafia Wars. You have a week to get 1000 ices. Good luck and happy icing.

MAFIA WARS Reminder: Back Alley Business secret district ending soon

For those of you who are still working on the Back Alley Business, Brazil secret district in Mafia Wars, you might want to pick up the pace! You've got about three hours left to get-r-done. Of course, if you don't finish it this time around, Zynga will probably offer to take your money in a borked attempt to reintroduce the secret district at a later date :P

There's now also less than 24 hours remaining for Ice Season 15.

Final Hours for Ice Season 14 and Dearly Departed mission event

Two events will ending in Mafia Wars today, starting in just under 5 hours when Ice Season 14 bows out.  The Dearly Departed mission event will be exiting the game a few hours after that. I forgot to collect from my Truck Shop a 4th time last night for the Bonus Quest: A New Beginning, so now I will be cutting it very close to complete the mission event--by 7 minutes! Fingers crossed. I haven't been doing so well with the ice seasons anymore, and frankly I've given up. Zynga throws too much competing crap in the game at one time and I'm tired of trying.

Best of luck to you all, if you're still working on either of these. I'm sure they'll be quickly replaced with someone else, as Zynga has gone into event overdrive lately. We really need a break.

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.
