Default April Awesomeness!

Hey Mafia Fans!

March Madness may be over, but it's time to rock April Awesomeness!

We have received numerous reports that the Daily Fanblasts need to be updated, so head here and let us know what YOU want to see given away!

We will be holding a 6 Round Tournament where you, the players can determine what else should be offered. Each Round will last 3-4 days and we will update this post at the beginning of each round.

In order to make this a little more entertaining and to give everyone an incentive to participate, we will be turning this into a contest as well.

The first 3 people to correctly guess the Top 8, 4, 2 and the Top 1 pick will receive 10 Rare/Superior items from Brazil Districts 4 and 5. The winners will also have 3 Precious Collection items placed in their account.

Tournament Dates:
Round 1 - Tues-Sun (March 29th-April 3rd)
Round 2 - Mon-Thurs (April 4th-7th)
Round 3 - Fri-Sun (April 8th-10th)
Round 4 - Mon-Thurs (April 11th-14th)
Semis - Fri-Mon (April 15th-18th)
Finals - Tues-Sun (April 19th-24th)

Go here to take round one of the survey. I'm sure this will make more sense to the Basketball people out there, but here are all the questions.
This isn't the easiest thing in the world to figure out what they are trying to do. Snakehead Chang, Developer, had to come in and try to explain it in more detail. He even added an image of the brackets like we see in March Madness. Fanblasts refer to the points that we get from the Mafia Wars Fan Page. I guess they want to give us more stuff and they set up this crazy system to figure out what we want. I'm sorry but this seems too complicated and time consuming to deal with. I'll just sit back and let everyone else decide. Hmm...last time I did that, Mini-Games won the vote!

Here are the brackets, visually. FWIW, there are no plans to remove the skill points from the Fan Blasts. We're thinking of adding additional items to the rotation. The players/fans/voters determine what advances. When the round ends, the percentages/results will be posted as well as the link for the next round of votes.

  2. It would be nice if they sent out the "swag" from the Labor Day event before they start making more empty promises. No one that I know has received ANYTHING that they were promised from that event, yet.

  4. Here's an idea. Instead of worrying about stupid events like this... big Z's mafia wars team needs to put together all their collective wit and spend April Awesomeness FIXING the game rather than us voting on our favorite consumable...
    Seeing any part of the MW team wasting their time with hosting events like this while many players are experiencing multiple issues (apparently problems can be dealt with...) on a daily basis is insulting when we're being told by CS reps that they are working hard to fix the bugs. Its been 3 days since I've been bugged in the Brazil mission, nothing more than a "we're working on it?" How about an update?
    Maybe I'll hold a survey contest of my own for everyone that can post an original mafia wars flaw / bug that needs to be fixed... bracketize the hell out of it... and have people vote on that :)

  8. wtf is a fanblast?

  9. A fan blast is a post on the Mafia Wars Fan Page. They are referring to the skill points they give away daily on the page.
