New Year, New Mafia

Greetings Facebook Mafia players. A new year us upon us. So what are the predictions for Mafia in 2008? Will Mafia even survive 2008?

It seems that the great Siqi pays little to no attention to mafia anymore (seriously, stop trying to make friends for sale happen). The application is plagued with errors, and while Mafia does have more users now, much of the loyalty for the application has faded, and many people are leaving.

But, is there a new era upon us? Due to the backlash from the Mafia Hall of Fame, many of the older players seem to be returning to advanced games. The newer players have retreated to their corner, and swear that advanced games are no good.

It seems like the establishment is back. Maybe mafia in the new year won't be new at all.

You know you love me.

Of course "The First Mafia Wedding" can't actually be the first mafia wedding

For the most part, things have been running smoothly in the First Mafia Wedding group. That is until people decided to crash the party.

Multiple people are claiming that this first mafia wedding, is not actually the first mafia wedding. Of course, the wedding crashers, include the likes of Nikky. Because really, who is she to let an illegitimate first mafia wedding happen? Nikky claims that this is in fact not the first mafia wedding, because she was married to Billy G (what happened to LaPlume?) "ages" ago. Scruggs claims that he married Rogstad and Tina C in the old days (Tina is actually a member of the group, and has said nothing about this supposed wedding).

The real question is, who cares? Who cares if this is the first mafia wedding, or the hundredth, the group was created just to have fun. Jack Market (who is walking the lovely bride down the aisle) laid the smack down, reminding Nikky, and Scruggs, that while they may have had mafia weddings in the past, it was in no way on the scale of this wedding, or even public.

Mafia Aristocracy

Anyone else see Kris running his mouth about the so called Mafia Aristocracy? These attacks seem to be aimed at "old school" mafia players. What constitutes old school you ask? I have no idea, but, Brad (the mod) seems to have taken it upon himself to defend this Aristocracy.

According to the hall of famer, this class of mafia players play primarily advanced 10 player turbo games (which according to Kris take no skill), are super mean to new people who join these games, and think they are better then everyone else. Many of the newer players have complained about the way the older players play the game (remember the great schism over day 1 voting?), but mean? Not so sure. Many of them do certainly have egos though. Alex (also in the hall of fame) gets down right angry when people don't listen to him. The same can be said about his fellow hall of famer, Shawn.

So the real question is, is there really an aristocracy in mafia? One would certainly think not, until they read this post from the official mafia group. Mafia Elite? Interesting name for a faction, interesting name drop by the Big Hutch, interesting descriptions of its' members. Of course I was curious about this faction, so I did some digging. What did I come up with? Very little. There seems to be an unrelated MySpace group, and nothing showed up through a simple Facebook search.

It seems like the Mafia Elite have covered their tracks, but how well? Well, you'll just have to wail till next time.

Hall of Drama

Happy Holidays Facebook Mafia players. What would the holiday season be without a little drama? The Mafia Hall of Fame Facebook group has caused quite a stir. I'm pretty sure it even landed some otherwise deserving mafia players on this years naughty list.

There seems a sort of overthrow brewing within the group. Kris (the group's creator, master of ceremonies, and self inducted member of the hall of fame) is failing miserably to deal with it, so he's just sitting back and letting Kristen DC run her mouth (I mean, who is she anyway?). It seems that her spot on the ever growing selection committee has done something that SML can't seem to do, boost her ego. Who knew a spot in an unknown group, for an unknown game on Facebook would create such a self esteem boost.

Well, regardless, she has again chosen to take on Mel. It amazes me that she hasn't learned her lesson. Kristen will never win. Mel is a much more respected, and quite frankly, popular player. Many more people will jump to Mel's defense, leaving Kristen alone in her accusations. Additionally, anyone else find it amuses she even keeps these conversations? Check out the entire thread yourself here.

If I were Neil, I'd gamble on this group self imploding in not more than a months time.

Twas the night before Christmas....

Leave it to mafia players to try and upstage Christmas. It seems as if there is a mafia wedding in the works. Yes, a mafia wedding.

Debs Blackie, and Speed Freak have announced their engagement. And why just announce an engagement when you can have an online wedding? Debs and Speed saw no reason. They have allowed people to fight it out for roles, instead of sticking with the mafia tradition of roles being randomly assigned. What a circus this wedding shall be. But, on the positive side, it should provide some great entertainment.

Til death do us part...

Facebook mafia has a higher divorce rate than Hollywood. Just review the long list of failed (or failing) relationships. Shawn and Baily. Alex and Baily. Megggg and Lu. JPRP and Brandon. Shawn and Jess. Makoto and Jeanetta. Mel and Jai. Megggg and Brandon. Nikky and Laplume. The list goes on.

So why do people keep using mafia as a dating service? I don't know, but it sure does provide alot of entertainment. Couples alliances and PDA can get people really riled up.

Mafia's latest couple....Samantha G and Scruggs. Any bets on how long that will last? Or how it will crash and burn?

The good news for these couples is death comes fast and often in mafia. It should be easy to move on.

You know you love me.

The Sudan isn't the only one with a teddy bear problem

Who knew (other then the British teacher in the Sudan) that a teddy bear could cause such a fuss. When you are on the leader board, people know who you are. And Makoto decided to put that to the test last night.

The story goes something like this. Makoto said something about the world famous Mohammad teddy bear, and this upset several people. So of course, he changed his profile picture. Wesely cried wolf to a moderator, and the mod agreed with him. But what can the mods really do? Makoto's profile picture has nothing to do with the mafia application itself. You think Makoto's profile picture is offensive you have 2 options. 1. Report him to Facebook. 2. Block him, and you don't have to see the picture. But really, do you think these mafia players are smart enough to figure this out? Of course not.

Offensive or not? You decide.

You know you love me.

Coup d'état

Don't you just love it when the establishment is overthrown? It seems SML has finally taken a stand, and kicked Nikky to the curb. Maybe this will teach her a lesson, talking trash doesn't get you anywhere in Facebook mafia, or in life.

Poor Nikky. It's a cold, hard world out there. At least she has the Plume to protect her. Oh wait, did I say protect?

You know you love me.

Trouble in paradise?

So much love is found on mafia, and so much is lost. There seems to be alot of trouble in mafia paradise lately.

Megggg has seen the light (at least on one issue). She's joined the large, and prominent club of mafia players that don't like Lu. Will this be enough to save Megggg? Doubtful. She's alienated too many people, and burned too many bridges. But maybe, just maybe, she can find a friend in the other mafia bitches that are having trouble with their e-relationship. She should contact Nikky, or Baily, asap.

Till next time.

You know you love me!

What does a moderator do?

If only I had a nickel for everytime someone has asked that in a game. The answer seems obvious. They moderate. They deal with problem players, set an example within the community, etc. While this is the answer that the overzealous newbies get, there is no reason to believe this is the correct answer.

But lets be perfectly honest here. Does anyone actually believe that the mods do anything other then produce a community of whiners who have no idea how to problem solve?

Not to mention, there are no rules. These mods basically ban at random. Some are worse then others, and some take this "power" that comes from being a mod in a very small online community, and let it go to their head.

And some can't handle this "power." It seems when people become a mod, very few of them stick around. There have been good losses, like Baily, and bad ones, like Zhong.

As these mods leave the community, it leaves people like Brad and JMF to do the moderating. Brad doesn't know his face from his ass, and proceeds to ban people for ridiculous reasons. He also likes to include an explanation the length of a book when he bans someone. At this point, everyone just thinks he's a pretentious ass, and well, he lives up to that label. And then, there's JMF. What does he do anyway? As far as anyone can tell, JMF does nothing at all.

So there you have it. Your friendly neighborhood moderators....who at best, make mafia a slightly worse place.

You know you love me.

Always be a Lady.

Hello mafia facebookers, Nikky seems to be parading herself all over the walls of every asinine male player there is. If you look closely there she is with her hearts, music notes, fiddles, toy boats, and tiny stars. Well maybe that is a small exaggeration, but she is everywhere. It's a wonder there aren't small icons for condoms and beds, they could come in handy.

So, does she really love all of these men? Certainly for someone who commands her sexy army to have respectable pictures and behave as ladies, she does not practice what she preaches. Perhaps the coined term of slutty mafia ladies is more appropriate, at least for her. The true ladies better keep an eye out for this slut.

The true life story of a gamblin' man.

Mafia is a game of chance...ok, not really, unless you're a newbie.

One of our major mafia egos has decided to put his real life on hold, to go play...cards. Yes, cards. Poker, blackjack, I have no idea. He has apparently apparently disabled his Facebook account. Is anyone upset by this? Not that I have seen. Most people just want to know why Neil isn't idling out of 10 games at a time.

Talk about a game of chance, it seems like Neil is playing one with his life.

You know you love me.

E-polygamy, hot....or not.

We seem to have an e-polygamist on the prowl. Since Megggg can't go for a week without having some kind of fake online relationship, she is now "married" to Lu. As lovely as that union is, it seems Lu has a dedicated band of female followers who like to lay claim to Lucifer. Like in the real world, Big Brother (aka Facebook) doesn't allow one to be married to multiple people, but it seems there may be sever unofficial unions. Although, please, it's no Big Love.

This begs the question though, is Lorenita the female Lu? It's well known Lu has at least 3 accounts, who's to say he doesn't have a female version of himself? They are rarely (if ever) in games together, and if Lorenita is in a game, and someone says something bad about Lu, "she" freaks out. And when I say freaks out, I mean becomes suicidal, and refuses to play the game properly.

Is this another Sally Blue Hair situation? Only time will tell.

Till next time.

You know you love me.

The egos have landed

Mafia brings out the worst in many people, this includes over sized egos. There are 3 main egos in mafia. Neil, Shawn and Alex.

Neil:
Neil is mainly known around the mafia community for joining hundreds of games and idling out to boost his ranking. He is now in the #1 spot, that no one thinks he deserves. Neil has not gained many followers during his reign, unlike others who have held the #1 spot. Fluke? Doubt it. The fact is, very few people like him. Truth be told, he's not good at the game, his ego is huge, and he's an ass on top of that.

Shawn:
Thinks he's the biggest bad ass in mafia. He always knows who the mafia is, if he is mafia and the cop checks him on night 1, it isn't "good job cop," it's "oh, like it's hard to check me on night 1." People in mafia seem to either love him or hate him. The people who do hate him, hate him because he "schooled" them at some point (because there is no other way to play mafia then the way Shawn plays). The best way to describe Shawn would be pompous ass.

Alex:
Spiderpig himself. Sure, some think he's a good mafia player. Others think he is annoying as fuck. His "spiderpig" senses are often completely wrong, yet people blindly follow him. Why you ask? Because the wrath of Alex when he is right, is not pretty. He can be an ass, and he certainly has one of the biggest egos on mafia.

But, have you heard? Alex's little brother is in town. A threat to Alex's reign? We can only hope. Little Hutch is certainly hotter then his older brother.

Breaking news.

So, you know Meggggg's e-whatever...well, apparently he was never all that interested in Megggg. Why you ask? Not her vulgar personality, or even her overbearing bitchiness. The fact is, he likes men, for at least half the time. It doesn't seem to me that Megggg would really be that great of a beard. But, I'm glad that he has come to realize his true self, with or without Megggg's help.

Updated Megggg summary: Meanest underage bitch, and most worthless beard on mafia.


You know you love me.

With love.

Who shall the first post be about? Only the meanest girl on Mafia. Who is that you ask? Meggggggg of course.

The Megggg story began when she had an e-boyfriend, or finance, or husband (who knows which one), and apparently she did not like it when certain people voted for him. This caused an unprovoked attack in a game that her e-whatever was not even in. And so it began.

Apparently Meggggg is no longer with her e-whatever, which seems to have made her even more bitter. Oh, underage lust.

In summary, Meggggg: Meanest underage bitch on mafia.

You know you love me.
