“It's a little like the Mafia. A friend of mine is a friend of yours.” Jared Paul Stern

Mafia Wars, over 4 million facebook users use this application game. I have been playing this since December 2008, everyday... If only I could faithfully read a book for an hour a day or practise the guitar just like the way I play Mafia. This is no warcraft or CABALsea, just a simple game like the popular Dope Wars. It kills time. If you are on levels 100 and above, lets say, you could easily spend like 30mins or so by using up all your 'energy' and 'stamina'.

If you are with me, I have a few tips on striving to be one of the top mafias.
1.) Use Loot Items for taking on other mafias - Weapons, Armour and Vehicles to maximise the potential of winning a fight. How? with the introduction of Cuba jobs, aim to do those jobs that can give you the best attack loot items. For Vehicles, try to get Hu-9 Helicopters. For Armour, Guerrilla Squads, Weapons, TNTs.

2.) Defence - Get loot items, Guerrilla Squads, Gaff Hooks and Armoured State Cars/Private Jets.

3.) Double up your Attack and Defence points in your profile against your Game Level. What do I mean? For Instance, if your current level now is 100, your profile attack points should be 200. it goes the same for defence.

Just my 2 cents.

My friends told me that they are getting tired of this.. for me? Same sentiments...but what are we doing now? we are trying to 'up' our level in Mafia Wars..

Most games are like that. They establish a goal for the players...and we play for hours to reach that goal. Finish already, the game gives us another one... its never ending. Ever heard cases where people drop dead by playing too much?
