I sent you a gift, Chris. The feature worked for me. Did you receive it?

Are the avatars broken here, or is it just me? Or my hotel's wireless connection??? <----- avatars are now back

If I have time, I will try to send gifts from Mafia to see if that feature works for me.

hmm they were saying it was only affecting people with mafia of over 500. My gifting option is still broken, it worked for a half hour and then broke again. People are screaming about that one, because three of the achievements involve gifting and people can't do their achievements now.

Not being able to give gifts sucks. I am on vacation right now so I haven't played Mafia Wars in days. I hope that this is just a glitch.

If you get robbed regularly you are better off not repairing or insuring your property.
It can only be robbed until it is down to 30% of its income. After that, as long as you don't repair, you'll still get 30% of your income and you can't be robbed.

Some properties can never be robbed, like the empty lots, those are not available to robbing, ever.

Oh and my game is broken, I can't send gifts anymore. I barely logged on yesterday but when I finally did...

I don't have that much property, but I noticed the other day that two of them got robbed. So I had to pay insurance for them.

lol Bob, if I made that much an hour for real, I'd buy myself a castle on some exotic island or something.

smokie be careful, once you have some more property, you'll have to pay a lot of money to protect it. Well, you don't have to, but you can and if you don't, people can rob you more easily. When they rob your property you have to pay money to repair it and you get less income from it until it is repaired.

I didn't have time yesterday to look at my...

OMG, you have a lot of income per hour. I never bought any weapons. I only have the ones that I won while doing jobs. But I do have some property and I am saving money to buy some more. I only have in the bank about $700,000.But then again, I am only on level 17.

Do you buy a lot of properties?

BTW, I am going on a vacation for two weeks, but I am taking my laptop with me. I hope I will be able to log into my Mafia at least once a day.

Nah, it takes some time to set up the game (like first 50 levels) but after that it is just maintenance, log in now and then, do your jobs, do your fights and you can forget about it for hours. Once you're settled with stamina and energy, there isn't much to do, because you have to wait until both refill after you've used them. I still have low stamina and energy so I try to check in once an hour, but I often forget in the daytime when I'm busy. I just went and did some jobs,...

It seems like you need to devote a lot of time to this kind of games. I now have more time since I am on my summer break. But once I go back to work, my time will be a lot more limited. I am sure that I will get killed or something when I will not have the time to play the game as often as I'd like. LOL

I've only been playing mafia wars for a couple of weeks, currently level 40. I was the # 1 space wars player for a couple of months, but then they introduced a new gadget in the game and it wouldn't load anymore for me, I was on dial up at the time. I had to quit playing because of it and never looked back at the game. Lol let me tell you, fighting gets super dirty at the top, hahaha

After I ditched space wars, I played Heroes vs Villains, I had a LOT of fun in that game,...

Thanks for the useful tips. What level are you in the Mafia Wars? I am only level 15. I am fairly new at this game, but I like it. I also play poker, but those poker games can get pretty crazy, with very high stakes.

Another thing, I fought other rival Mafia members and now my health is under 20. I left the game as you said. But when is it time for me to go to the hospital and heal myself?

It's best to fill your health when you're active in the game (on line) and keep it under 20 when you're off line.

I just got 5 points and I will use them mostly for attack, defense and stamina from now on

Attack and defense is what makes...

Thanks for your tips, Chris. I deposited most of my money in the bank now. I just got 5 points and I will use them mostly for attack, defense and stamina from now on. I used to use them mostly for health and energy. I have 23 members in my Mafia. Most of them weren't even on my friends list. They asked to be my friends and then they joined my Mafia. Most of my friends are not interested in Mafia Wars. LOL I actually I wasn't interested either at the beginning but I got sucked into it....

Bugs are everywhere. I actually didn't come across any bugs yet. My only problem is that I am being attacked in the Mafia Wars while I'm not there and they take a lot of my money.
