Who's That Secret Stash Guy?

Share:

The other day I had a problem dragging one of my mafia members over to the hard loot item box. I tried as many times as 15 seconds would allow and eventually got the all too familiar "Sorry!" message. I didn't think much of it and blamed it on my dragging abilities.
I saw that Amninder had the same problem from his post on the Mafia Wars Loot Lady Fan Page (1). I was shocked to see that the guy he couldn't drag was the same guy! Based on the comments the mystery man has made an appearance in several players accounts. He is just undragable!
Who is he? I've never seen him in my mafia. Lets take a closer look. Maybe someone who is fast can get his link from the image if he appears for them. I would love to know the explanation behind this one.

    I have come across him multiple times, not able to drag him anywhere. Certainly also NOT in my mafia. Not sure whether a link can be found for him...

    Can't you get the URL of the image? This should help finding him.

    Probably the Zyngotians way of making sure you HAVE to beg your friends for help in this 'social' game.

    I've had the same thing...damn, I was wondering what the hell was going on. What a bunch of crap. If someone can find out how to get rid of the SOB that would be great.

    while we are on the secret stash topic has anyone discovered what Zynga mean by being 'strategic' and what this has to do with reassigning ur friends to a new slot within the time period ?

    It's retarded, so I no longer attempt this secret stash thing.

    He shows up on the original popup page that Zynga had to promote the new secret stash, it looks like Zynga have forgotten to remove him from the game so a lot of players are getting him in their 3 stash people

    Here's the URL of the image - not even a valid player:

    Looks like we're all getting Zynga'd again (sigh).

    I swear to God i had that dude this morning on one of my accounts and I couldn't drag him :/ I'm wondering if he seems to pop up so often maybe he is a lil Zynga design feature meant to crack up the programmers cuz try as u may you'll never be able to move him into the box!

    HA ha ha ha...They put it in so when you are unframed you can't drag him. It also sends back a report of who is playing unframed and adds you to a list of accounts they may ban. Looks like some people are going to lose their accounts.

    He's probably a background or default image. whenever he appears you have an additional blank window that shows up. that window is maybe a bug or bad load of the friend that should have shown up.

    It has nothing to do with being unframed - have had it happen several times now when framed.

    I'm guessing he shows up as a replacement for either a hired gun, or a mafia member that's gone inactive.

    Even so, why they made it so it can't be dragged and dropped is still a puzzler.
