It is by far the most addictive game (well apart from text twist).
- It is on facebook (as an app ovcoss)
It is this cool application on facebook (do allow me use fb). When someone tell you they are on fb and you look at the screen and it has a black background, that is mafia wars. It is very addictive (if u feel u won’t play it coz o dis xteristic, then i’l say it’s not so so 
- It is literally action packed but not ‘really’
I warn you, when you start playing it, do not expect a San Andreas kind of game; it is action but sort of wordy (wordy in a good way, not Blair Witch kind of wordy). You need to think alot. At first, i just played it but 10 stages into the game, i realised that i needed to plan; who to rob, who to attack, which job to do, what armor and ammunition works best, which investment is favourable?
- You become a mafia (wake up, ur dreamin again!)
You select a name but acquire the tittle of Don, for example, Don Sleek. You live like a mafia and have to think like a mafia, nasty. Remember to keep that attitude on fb, do not extend it to real life. As you advance to higher levels, you can change your name and tittle but only if you are able to reward the god father accordingly.
- You join or create a mafia family
There are so many ways of doing this; you can send requests to you fb friends or . The larger the family, the more the edge you have when you attack or rob someone.
- You join a mafia war (ovcoss)
- You can attack and be attacked (i myt as well add that you can die)
I usually attack people when i have no more energy for jobs. When you attack, your health reduces though it reduces more if you loose the fight. Same thing happens when you are attacked. Good thing is your profile (resume) becomes better – number of fights won.
Do not pick a fight with someone stronger than you, you will be crashed.
- You can rob and be robbed
Almost has the same fill as an attack, the only difference is that here you are damaging someones property, especially those who have not paid to protect the property.
- You have work to earn money (ovcoss).
As mentioned earlier, you have to do all sorts of jobs to earn money. Jobs like roughing up dealers, a bank heist, collecting protection money, hijacking, perform a hit, take out a cop yada yada yada…
The more dangerous the job, the more the money.
Each job however requires that you have a certain set of item; the higher the level, the higher the demand.
- You buy assets to increase you cash flow
Just like in real life, you need to have properties or assets that can increase your monthly cashflow (by monthly i mean every hour). These properties need protecting and maintenance so do not think you just purchase them and that is it, you need to pay for their upkeep. in the later stages of the game, you actually start calculating to see which property does you best.
- You have energy levels, health levels and stamina levels, needless to say, you can die (not forever though)
When your health is really low, you go to the hospital and pay to restore it.
When you energy levels are done, you ask a family member to send you an energy pack or you visit the god father. you can only get and send one energy pack a day to your family.
- There is a hit list and you can end up on it (that’s not funny, i have died twice, i mean literally DIED)
Annoy someone and you will appear on the hit list with a bounty on your head. Who ever kills you takes the cash. Be careful when you attack and rob someone, some people are short tempered!
- You can buy cars, ammunition (not aminition people, ammunition), and armor (vests and all)
Yeah and all that. Some of this stuff also need maintenance fees 
They however add to your attack and defense levels and if not most, all of them are necessities for jobs.
- You have a godfather
He has that ‘you scratch my back i scratch your back’ attitude, (we luv u godfather – show me d gifts).
You can go to the god father for anything and everything (well almost) but you have to reward him with reward points. reward points are sometimes collected when you move to a higher level.
- You have a bank account (u can keep ur mony in d bank or ‘under ur bed’)
It is safe to keep money in the bank because when you are attacked the money is safe; if it is ‘under your bed’, some of it has got to go.
- I could go on and on and on yada yada yada, bla bla bla…
- Let me lay it out for you, GO PLAY MAFIA WARS and when you decide to, join my family and i will join yours
I simply took a bow
Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you’re in the mood to travel right now cause
I want to take you on a journey… we’re going back in time. Are you ready?…
(Lines extracted from the song Way Back by Tanya Stephens)
If you want to read these lyrics go to Sleek n wild
I think the lyrics are strong and deep, the first time I heard them, I simply took a bow.
It’s was wierd hearing a raggae artist praise Marvin Gaye, not suprising but wierd.
Come to think of it, these days, the good ole people buy a whole album just to listen to one track (this is why we collect tracks… in Uganda, you all know what I’m talking about!).
Music in those days was tyt; proof;
Believe it or not, we still have record players. Anyone in around (In uganda) who can convert them for me?
