The {ASS} Assassin-a-Nators FAQ

Updated 06/20/2011 at 1500

The {ASS} Assassin-a-Nators are a IN GAME Mafia Wars Family created so players in non fighting Families could participate in the Death By Ice Event. They are not a Family in the traditional sense and would not try to compete or claim to be better than the established Families of Mafia Wars. Our goal is to get as many ices as possible. As most should know, strength and ices have nothing to do with each other. It's quantity not quality!  Q: Who are the Assassin-a-Nators and why haven't I seen the {ASS} tag prior to the Death By Ice Event? A: The {ASS} Family was created for the Death By Ice Event. The rules of this event are simple. Ice as many players as possible. If Zynga didn't want to prevent the real established Families from making the leaderboard, they should have selected a different criteria for determining a winner. Established Families war with other Families and their ice totals for doing this would never be high enough to compete with Families that don't care who they ice. An ice is an ice. Q: What's with the name The Assassin-a-Nators? Don't you know there is a fighting script that shares this name and you aren't even allowed to type the word Assassin-a-Nator on the Zynga Forums! A: The Family Module is not governed by the same Rules of Conduct as the Zynga Forums. Q: I applied to be a member of the Assassin-a-Nators and wasn't selected. Why was that? A: The {ASS} Family had one day to come together. The announcement was made and a application form was created. Participants were selected based on their stamina pool and leveling abilities. We only had 100 slots and combined forces with the Mafia Wars Maniac Family. We apologize to anyone who wasn't selected and hope that Zynga will increase the Family limit of 100.  Q: Hey someone with an {ASS} tag insulted me and my Family in a public forum. Why is there a {ASS} War Page anyway? A: There are 100 members of The {ASS} Family and it has been explained that all banter should be kept on the private page. The public war page was an error in judgement and has been removed. We are NOT a traditional Family and for the remainder of the event will not act like one. This is a learning curve as many of us have no Family experience and wouldn't know the first thing about a real Family War. We are just participating in the Death By Ice Event which was created by Zynga. Q: The Assassin-a-Nators were #1 on the leaderboard but to my delight the ƒ๏ям๏ѕÂ 歡樂ƒůn團 Family took the lead. Are you all crying over this? I hope so because it's hilarious! A:  Our goal was to master the Death By Ice Event. While it's fun to aim for number one, we didn't  expect to stay there through the duration of the event. We work as a team to get as many ices as we can. Because of the rules of the event, there will be unknown or newly created Families on top. Rather than worry about what everyone else is doing, we are focusing on what we are doing.  Q: My Family has declared war on the Assassin-a-Nators. We are going to beat you all down and kick your {ASS}.  What are you going to do about it?  A: We understand that established Families are attacking us. This hasn't had a dramatic effect on our performance. The massive attacks by others are the equivalent to little ant bites. Annoying but overall not a threat. We are happy that we are helping some of these Families master the Death By Ice Event as they really aren't experienced with using the fightlist. The ƒ๏ям๏ѕÂ 歡樂ƒůn團 Family does thank all who have declared war on the Assassin-a-Nators as it made their job of claiming the number one spot a little bit easier. Q: What lessons can are there to be learned from the Death By Ice experience? A: Don't hate the playa, hate the game! We did not create the Death By Ice Event or determine the rules. If the {ASS} Family wasn't on the leaderboard, a different Family that isn't one of the haters would be. Strong and established fighting Families have no chance so please take your concerns to the Zynga Forums or Get Satisfaction. Stop being petty and hating on The Assassin-a-Nators!
