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.

You know you love me.

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.

You know you love me.

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.

You know you love me.

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.
