HOW TO: build your limited time property faster with Mission Crew Link

EDIT...Zynga has now broken this script, and we are relegated back to waiting on timers or the multi-tab method.

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, toolbar, or add-on; 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 6 people can click on each post. After that, you can simply generate another one. No more waiting 8 hours, and no more multiple tabs!

Reposted for general clarification. You can't upgrade old limited time properties without spending reward points, this is intended for whatever the current limited time property. My original post is here but it mentions a previous limited-time property, the Cemetery, which confused a few peeps.

more on the Botanical Garden and requesting parts

If you get the message "This feed has expired", chances are it's not necessarily cause for alarm this time around.

It seems that Zynga had to go and mess with crap again (I really wish they would stop pissing off players like that). The good news is that the Mission Crew Links script workaround still works to help you continue collecting parts for your Botanical Garden. What has changed is that extra clicks on your parts requests posts will no longer carryover past the current level of upgrade you're working on.

For instance, you need 3 parts for the first level, and 6 people can click on the help posts to send parts. Before, what occurred was that players clicking to help would receive the message that "this user has received all the parts needed for this level" --until the player upgraded the property, then 3 more people could click through on the original post for help. Now, after the upgrade, helpers will get the message that the feed has expired.

Cider House parts requests working again

From what I can tell, the posts requesting parts to build the Cider House are working again. I've been able to help on several posts to send parts, without getting the "This feed has expired" message. I guess kudos to Zynga--usually it takes them a lot longer to fix things like this!

Don't forget you can post for parts help without the limit of timers by using the Mission Crew Links script.

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.

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!
