Team Spockholm has posted a script that should make sending gifts a lot easier. We all need to come to terms with the fact that the updated to gifting made by Zynga broke the gift links system that many of us are used to using. It's now all about the ZMC. The more gifts you send, the more you will get back. You can send 50 gifts at a time and there is no cap on how many times you can do this. Going to your Send Page and clicking on 50 X's is a pain in the ass. The Gift Clicker will do this for you. This is just a simple script that will click the X in front of 50 mafia members for you. Team Spockholm is already working on more advanced scripts to make the "enhanced gifting" process even easier.
To get started, follow the steps below.
1. Go to the Spockholm Mafia Tools Experimental Page and located the Gift Clicker.

3. Go to your Free Gift Page and select the gift you want to send to your mafia. I will use Special Parts in this example.
8. Repeat steps 3-7 as many times as you want. The more you give, the more you will receive. Keep in mind that you can only send 1 gift to each or your mafia members per day and you can only accept 200 returned gifts per day. The ZMC can only hold 100 gifts at a time. Now just sit back and wait for your return gifts to come rolling in.
I wasn't able to get the Gift Clicker to work in Chrome and have reported it to Team Spockholm. It worked fine in FireFox.

i could not get it to work in firefox
ReplyDeleteWhy do we all need to come to terms? If enough players quit Zynga will change their minds or offer an extra that they'll gradually take away at a later date. It's the way they work. Offer less for more is their business model. They take away working links and compensate by enabling us to give "unlimited numbers of gifts hoping that will keep us interested...the fact is we were able to do that before and they purposely fouled it up so we'd be ever so grateful when they re-enabled it. It wont be long before they put gift limits back on. I've played this game from the beginning and watched them do this same underhanded tactic time and again. I don't have to come to terms...I can always quit. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm so going to donation to the Spock's Team when I get in from work today!!! This is awesome but then again I expected nothing less of these IT gurus!
ReplyDeleteThanks Martin, Eike and Pete!
Spock On!
I assume the unlimited gifts is not universal as I can only send 50 max. When I try to send again I'm told - Sorry, you have run out of requests to send with this application. Please try again tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteKel
The question is now is there still a 200 gift limit per day that you can except since thay allways said that the 200 limit was set by facebook
ReplyDeleteI have found that with Chrome...when the Send Gift page is open...the Spockholm Toolbar Spocklet menu opens BEHIND the opened Send Gift page...making the Gift Clicker inaccessible. Is this the problem you are having or is this in addition to the problem you are having getting the Gift Clicker to work??
ReplyDeleteThe ZMC agent works for me in Firefox but not in chrome as well.
ReplyDeleteDid you try this from the toolbar? I can't get it to work, because the toolbar drops down behind the gift page, so I can't click the spocklet...
ReplyDeletehave the spockholm toolbar but can not find "import" how do i get to it.
ReplyDeleteImported the code into my Spockholm toolbar but when I clicked on the bar to use it, this couldn't be done because the toolbar bookmarklets disappear under the Send pop-up and the link to Gift Clicker couldn't be seen
ReplyDeleteI dont know if i am doing something wrong but when running this from the spock toolbar the menu drops down behind the free gift pop-up so i am unable to choose the gift clicker unless i rearrange my BM's so it is in the top 3 that i can see, seems to work fine as a BM though using the 'old fashioned way' of running a BM unframed
ReplyDeleteNice idea, shame it can't click everyone then send them in bursts of 50 - be even less click monkeying around!!
ReplyDeletewhen adding code too toolbar it dosnt turn green and dosnt show up in toolbar any other codes for it ty
ReplyDeleteBut doesn't this only help with gifts that happen to be on the free gift page? For example, if only Union Workers are on the free gifts page, how will we get gifts of Carpenter Nails, Lath Strips, Iron Cast and Douglas Fir Beams?
ReplyDeletewhy don't they just leave things alone?
ReplyDeleteeverytime they try something new it messes everything else up..
So this gift clicker assigns gifts randomly from any list that you want to choose from? I don't know, I'm not so lazy as I cannot click on each person individually and choose who gets what. This is still less work that setting up a list of links (which actually began to become a chore for me in the past few weeks anyway). I mean, really, think about how much work went into making daily gift links lists. If you made links for every item, like I would do, think about how many had never even been used. Sure it was nice to be able to open a list of links and grab whatever you need, now we just have to make sure we've sent out enough exotic anil feeds, special parts or what ever to make sure we've had enough sent back to us to cover our needs. Before we we're "putting the cart before the horse". Now we're putting the horse back in front of the cart" However people cannot deal with change and we will still have people who find it neccessarry to moan and complain and find something wrong with what ever ZYNGA does. If it's such a tragedy for you these changes that take place in the game and if you have "played the game since the beginning" then you should'nt be alarmed and so upset when changes take place. You would think we are all used to it by now. Here's a thought: Go back to those very days back in the beginning and ask yourself this. What version of this game would I rather have? The one I am playing today or the one I was playing in November of 2008? Here's a suggestion: Quit playing MW's and play solitaire. That game has stayed the same ever since I bought my first computer back in 1994. Or can you? Can you always quit? I've tried that, myself. I've come to terms with my addiction. I've accepted it and the fact that this game is not static but has and ALWAYS will be subject to change. Some changes I will like some I will not agree with some I will hate. PEACE.
ReplyDeleteThis also works when a mission task requires you to 'Get Support From Your Mafia'.
ReplyDeleteHave put the code on the spockbar but unable to click the imported Gift Clicker cos the gifting window covers up the dropdown menu..
