Zynga flips players the bird

As Ann told you earlier, we've got a new Family boss fight to deal with...oh boy! Zynga is flipping us off! (c'mon, I can't be the only one to notice that!)

The Mafia Wars blog says "If your family is currently engaged in a Family Boss Fight with Silverio Fallaci, you'll have to complete that fight in order for Jimmy Lechon to become available." *coughnottrue* Our Family currently has 3 active boss fights, so clearly Jimmy Lechon didn't wait for us to finish off Silverio Fallaci. Although it appears Jimmy Lechon will supplant Silverio Fallaci, so I assume that after we finish him off, he's gone.

Anyone remember the Raven? WTF happened to him? 

Silverio Fallaci is being pushed out* by Jimmy Lechon, the new Family Boss who thinks there's not enough room for the both of 'em. Use the collaborative strength of your family to show him that he's not as dangerous as he thinks he is, and be among the top contributors to the fight for a chance to recieve the Death Card (200/200) when your family beats him!

Family Boss Fights pit your entire family against an epic boss. In the case of Jimmy Lechon, you'll have 7 days to reduce his 1,125,000 health to zero. (You may have more or less time to take out future Family Bosses.) Whenever the timer runs out on a Family Boss Fight, the boss' health resets and you will have another chance to prove your family is in charge.
*Note: If your family is currently engaged in a Family Boss Fight with Silverio Fallaci, you'll have to complete that fight in order for Jimmy Lechon to become available.

 I'm sure we won't see Jimmy's grand prize item, the Death Card, any more frequently than we've seen the grand prizes from other boss fights.

Here's a little trivia for you. As indicated by the Mafia Wars Death Card stats, the Death Card is not necessarily a bad thing to have turn up. I've been known to read a few tarot cards in my lifetime. It does not herald death, but rather, transformation, rebirth, closure, conclusion, etc. Not that tarot cards hold much water :0)

Silverio Fallaci Cooldown

Ok, so Jeff The Knife is out, for now at least, and Clyde Axworthy is in.

...and now Silverio Fallaci gets the cooldown timer? Did I miss something? Was the loot from that particular boss fight updated? If not, why not leave Silverio Fallaci alone and add the timer (or just not add a timer...) to Clyde Axworthy? Seems like a lot of unnecessary changing around.

Family Boss Fight missing 9/13

From the Zyngon Capitol: 

Many users are experiencing an issue where the family boss has disappeared and are currently unable to collect the reward.

The cause of this issue is known and the studio is already working swiftly to fix the problem.

Please give us a little while to resolve the bug and get your family boss fight back up and running.

Thanks Vince for finding this.

 Most of us have been waiting around all day for the stupid game to finish 'calculating the results', and now all of the sudden, there's a NEW boss in town: Silverio Fallaci. Your Mafia Wars Family might still have Jeff The Knife...or you might have Silverio Fallaci. Or, you might have both, like [MIA] and a few other families have!

ETA...it seems to be account-specific and not family-specific as to who has which or both family boss fights. 

Edited again to add...now I don't even have a Bosses tab any more, and others are reporting that both family boss fights have now disappeared from their accounts as well.

Jason's peeps over at [M.P.R] also have both family boss fights active, and can fight both Jeff The Knife and Silverio Fallaci.

Our Mistyfied redtag Family only has the Silverio Fallaci family boss fight - but...apparently he took over calculating our win results from our last go-round with Jeff The Knife.

The boss has been slain! Please wait a few minutes while we calculate the results!

::valley girl voice::...that was like, hours ago.
