Mock War Madness

Share:

About a year ago Zynga sponsored the Original Gangsters 5 Year Anniversary and created a loot item in their honor and it was granted to all participants [1]. This appeared to be a special case and we didn’t see anymore Mock Wars like this until the summer of 2014. In July things became more formalized and it all started with the ΨL¥CAήSΨ Family 5th Anniversary Birthday Bash. The participation loot item for this Mock War was the Head Shot and was made available for purchase in the Marketplace once the Mock War was over. I thought this was the real reason behind the sponsoring of Mock Wars as Zynga charged more for the item than their Limited Edition Items (which had higher stats). This must not have worked out for Zynga as we never saw another item offered in this manner again. Despite this, Zynga sponsored Mock Wars seem to be here to stay and keeping up with them all can be a full time job. The upcoming Mock Wars and the items from previous Mock Wars are shown below.

When the ΨL¥CAήSΨ Family Mock War was over Zynga opened up their communication channels and all families celebrating a 3rd Anniversaries or higher could ask Zynga to sponsor their Mock War [1].

Soon after this form was released, Mock Wars started popping up everywhere. We do make posts for each family on this site and our fan page. I believe every family deserves individual recognition so I won’t start grouping them. With so many Mock Wars a list may be useful. If your family wants to keep joining these Mock War, it’s recommended to put one member in charge of registering and informing as it will make things go smoother. The Mock Wars in which loot items haven’t been granted yet are shown in the chart below and the links go to the individual posts.
