Get Your Loot: Team Spockholm

Share:


The secret stashes of loot now have better items, including animals.  Since many players will probably decide to start collecting these again, it's a good time to talk about the Get Your      Loot Bookmarklet.  This Bookmarklet, written by Pistol Pete of Team Spockholm, will scan your wall for Mafia Wars requests containing the phrase "Get Your Loot" and open the accept loot page in a separate window.  If you have a large mafia, it's a huge time saver.  To get this bookmarklet and start using it today, follow the steps below.
1.  Go to the Spockholm Mafia Tools External Bookmarklet Page.
2.  Click, drag, an drop the Get Your Loot bookmarklet into your computers bookmark tool bar (or where ever you choose to hold your bookmarks).















3.  Go to your Facebook Profile Page and ensure you have Secret Loot or Bonus Loot requests.







4.  From your bookmark holding area, click on the Get Your Loot Bookmark once and let it go to work.  When it's finished gathering all of your requests, your screen will look like this:













5.  Choose to accept or decline your loot for each window.
Honestly, Zynga, if I clicked on the request in the first place, would I really choose to click "No Thanks"?  It would be easier to just ignore or remove it.  You can let your friend know what you both got by  clicking "Tell Your Friend About It".  I only do this if we got something good.  I close each window as I finish accepting to prevent me from losing track if I have a lot of them.






















Lately I find these types of messages on a large percentage of bonus loot requests.  Some tell me that the stash has already been found and some say I collected items but there are no items listed.  This is a Zynga issue and has nothing to do with the bookmarklet.










This is what Zynga had to say about these types of messages.  Special thanks goes to Stella Polaris for sharing this with me and allowing me to share it with you.
Hello Stella,
Thanks for contacting Zynga.
Once again this is Andrew with Customer Support.
Unfortunately, this issue doesn't have anything to do with Gamers Unite or Snagbar. There are a few situations that I’ve found result in game items not loading correctly or completely. These include Server lag, Ajax request timeouts, or simply an incorrectly cached copy of the data on your local machine.
If you are missing items, please clear your cache. This will remove your temporary internet files resulting in increased browser speed and performance. It will also ensure that you are not referencing local files in place of files that have been updated on our servers.
If you are unsure of how to clear your cache, the following knowledge base article may be of help to you:

If after you have cleared your cache you find that you are still having issues please follow these steps.
1- Download the latest flash player if you are not already currently using it.

2- Remove the Mafia Wars application. If you do not know how to do this, instructions can be found here.

3- Restart your computer. Log back in to your social network and re-add the Mafia Wars application.
Once again, I am so sorry Stella, for any inconvenience this matter has caused. If you are still experiencing issues please let me know in as much detail as possible which of the above steps you completed in addition to what issues you are still facing and I will do MY best to assist you to the best of my ability.
On another note, I took the liberty in going into your account and crediting you 50 Reward Points just for playing today. I hope you enjoy the points and have a great day, Stella.
Kind regards,
Andrew G.

  2. I've found that I can snipe stashes meant for others at times.

    If you don't have your stash, someone may have sniped it from you.

  3. Anonymous who claims to have "sniped" stashes, bullshit fella, bullshit. How exactly do you do this when I know from controlled testing it cannot be done by clicking on it?
