This & Next Week 7/8/2011

The new This & Next Week is out on The Official Mafia Wars Blog. Check out what happened this week there and here is a reprint along with a translation of what will happen next week.

Coming Next Week*

Icing Seasons

Earn reputation badges and new mastery items each week by icing opponents in Icing Seasons!
Translation: We made a shitload of money during the Death By Ice Family Event and we want to keep it going. We are so happy that the {ASS} Family is staying together and hope you will continue to buy Stamina Refills just so you can beat up on them.


Assassin Boss Fight: The Raven - ROUND 2

The Raven returns! Ice players on the fight list to pick up the Assassin’s trail. He’s very hard to find, but when you get close you'll discover special Ammo with which to fight him.
Translation: That's right, you can only farm for Ammo if and when The Raven appears. We wouldn't want to give you the opportunity to stock up. We will sell the Ammo in the Marketplace if you get desperate (hint). Just for kicks we will make sure that some accounts never see The Raven.


New Mission Event: Ties That Bind

You’re taking on a newly-elected state governor in Brazil. Keep your head down and power through a major smear campaign to earn a Glamour Helmet (62/150).
Translation: The current Mission has 10 days to go, we haven't figured out how to add this one next week without all of you bitching about Event Fatigue Syndrome.


New Ruby Mastery Loot in Brazil

Finished your Brazil districts to Ruby Mastery? Go back and complete Brazil jobs in any ruby-tiered district to earn new red-hot loot!
Translation: We can't stand to think of our players staying on the Bronze level in any Brazil job so they can get loot for less energy. To solve this we are going to offer better loot on the Ruby level. Have you seen the energy costs for these jobs? If this doesn't tell you we love our E-Ho's much better than the whiny fighters, we don't know what else would. We've been meaning to update Fight Loot and Fight Club Loot but this was more fun. We also want to keep Kanu of the Mafia Wars Gods busy updating his loot reference charts. We laugh when we think of him saying "Oh Shit, I'm busy with real life this weekend".


Stamina Packs

We've saved the best for last: You’ll be able to send and receive free stamina packs for a limited time!
Translation: We are so sick of you asking us for these things that we made them for a LIMITED time. Once this time has expired please don't ever ask us again. Do you really think our nerf guys would let you have Stamina Packs indefinitely? If you really want more stamina, buy a Stamina Refill from the Marketplace.

*As far as is currently scheduled, but things can change.
