Sorry but it's true, we will be having another gifting event starting tonight in honor of the Super Bowl. To learn all about it got to the Zynga Customer Support The Big Game Gift Event 411 and FAQ. Thanks to Luis Enrique for posting the info on the Mafia Wars Loot Lady Fan Page.
Mafia Wars The Big Game mini-Gift Event 411
Are you ready for some (American) Football? We're down to the final two teams for The Big Game. Will you and your friends have what it takes to win it all? Which team do you think will win it all - the Wisconsin Cheddarheads or Pennsylvania Ironworkers?
Pick a team to own (or both if you're ambitious). Collect 22 helmets for that team (Green Machine helmet or Steel Curtain helmet) to fill the 11 spots for the each Offensive and Defensive Teams.
For every 11 helmets you collect for the winning team, you will receive a Victory Ring. You can collect up to 3 sets (1 set = 22 helmets) of helmets for each team for a maximum of 6 Victory Rings for the winning team.
(Items names and attack and defense values are tentative)
Green Machine (A) 45/21
Steel Curtain (A) 21/45
Grand Prize: Victory Ring (A) 92/88
There is no limit to the number of helmets you can collect up until 3pm PST, Sunday, February 6th. After that time, all uncollected helmets become Mystery Bags. Helmets can be collected via free gifts, wall posts, or purchased for 1 Reward Point each. On Monday, February 7th, players will receive automatically receive a Victory Ring for every 11 helmets they own for the winning team (up to a maximum of 6 Victory Rings)
FAQs
Q: When does this event start?
A: This event starts late Thursday night, February 3rd. As with all gift events, the release will be gradual to ensure stability. (Not all players will have access initially)
Q: When does this event end? What happens to unclaimed helmets when the event is over?
A: Unclaimed helmets become regular mystery bags after 3pm PST, Sunday, February 6th (before the start of the Big Game). Victory Rings will be awarded automatically sometime on Monday, February 7th.
Q: How do I know which helmets I should collect or what the winning team will be?
A: The winning team in the Big Game event will share the same team colors as the winning team in a certain major sporting event this weekend. You should collect the helmets of the team with similar team colors as the one you think will win that sporting event.
Q: Is it possible to collect sets of helmets for both teams?
A: Yes. This would be one way to ensure you receive Victory Rings no matter the outcome of the game.
Q: Is it possible to collect more that 66 helmets for a single team?
A: Yes, as long as they are collected before 3pm PST, Sunday, February 6th.
Q: I have to collect 132 helmets in less than 3 days?! That's going to be really hard!
A: This is by design. We purposely want players to commit to a team in order to have the best chance of collecting 3 full sets for the winning team. You will only have needed 66 helmets if you correctly predicted the winning team.
Q: If I only collected helmets from the team that lost, can I still receive Victory Rings?
A: Unfortunately, no.
Q: How can I follow the progress/status of the game?
A: The sporting event is typically televised and sports websites online can also be checked.
Q: This event is so easy, the Wisconsin Cheddarheads are going to win because they have a great offense!
Q: This event is so easy, the Pennsylvania Ironworkers are going to win because they have a great defense!
Q: This event is so easy, I already know who's going to win.
A: We like your confidence. Good luck in collecting sets of helmets! If you know the outcome of the game, you can anonymously submit your tip to betthefarmonit@zynga.com*.

ReplyDeleteHow can you get a nickname wrong!!!!!????
ReplyDeleteIt is NOT cheddarheads it is CHEESEHEADS!!!!
The nickname Cheesehead is used because of the large production of cheese that comes out of the state of Wisconsin. It refers to ALL cheeses NOT just Cheddar. What a joke. Do a TINY bit of research before jumping in on a mini game would you?
Something else you should know before you screw it up...
-A Lambeau Leap is jumping into the bleachers, behind the endzone, after scoring a touchdown...NO it's not called the Lambeau Jump or the Lambeau Hop. And, YES, it started in Wisconsin in Lambeau Field. It was started by LeRoy Butler, it was made popular by Robert Brooks. Players in OTHER stadiums imitate the leap.
-A Terrible Towel is a banner conceived by the late Myron Cope, long-time Steeler commentator, used by fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers to cheer for their team. It consists of a yellow towel with the words "Terrible Towel" in black, to be waved in the air.
-The Green Bay Packers is the longest standing NFL name to date.
-Zynga is a social network game developer. The term "Zynga" is has also become a slang word for "screw up" or "fuck up" (You really Zynga'd that). Zynga took it's name from the African warrior queen, Zinga. The developer is best known for inflating user numbers by running promotions requiring users to play other Zynga games to get items for their current game of choice. It is also known to updates games with new features without testing them first. This has lead to many bugs being added to the games and a lot of frustrated players.
::::Also...Wisconsin is a state. Pittsburgh is a city...both are in the U.S.A.

Do a little bit of research next time so you don't zynga it again!

Go Pack!!! Go Steelers!!! F U Zynga!!!
Hmmm, you think maybe they're trying to keep away from trademarked (and potentially trademarked) names, even though everyone knows what they mean?
