So I thought I would do an area with some more advanced help and tips while playing mobsters. If you're new to mobsters then I recommend you check out this thread first to explain the basics of the game: Myspace Mobsters 101 - how to play
How can you tell someones ID when you are fighting them? Well go to their stats page (click on their name in BLUE) and then look at the top url. Now depending if you are in Firefox or Internet Explorer it will look a little different (its between the 22 & %). I'll use MY url as a example - my ID is 406773530 Here is the URL's in Firefox and Internet Explorer:
Firefox:
http://profile.myspace.com/Modules/Applications/Pages/Canvas.aspx?appId=104283&appParams={%22show_user_id%22%3A"406773530"}
Internet Explorer:
http://profile.myspace.com/Modules/Applications/Pages/Canvas.aspx?appId=104283&appParams={%22show_user_id%22%3A%22406773530%22}
FYI: Now alot of people can't really figure this out, so if you're doing a broadcast I like to add both ways in. Example: " Hey I need someone to hitlist this person for me: 22123456789 or if you're in Firefox its 123456789"
How many should you have in your Mob?
Well is there ever to many? See as you move along you will find that some items require you to have more mobsters to buy. The more you buy the more mobsters you need. Currently I have 3118 mobsters. Because I have so many I was able to buy a ton of ambulances (they require you to have so many mobsters). I own currently 558 of them. Basically if I go to the hospital and I get low on health well I get VIP treatment - see:
This is for the EXTREME mobsters out there
.Within the spreadsheet there are additional tabs:
So if you are really, really into doing the mobster app on myspace this will help you along!
You can also add the button to your profile - here is the code to do that:
<a href="http://profile.myspace.com/Modules/Applications/Pages/Canvas.aspx?appId=104283&appParams={%22energy_all%22%3A%22true%22%2C%22rsrc%22%3A%22not_send_energy_accept_cause_all%22}&canvas_source=appnotification"><img src="https://images.geekdrop.com/var/albums/Mobsters/200Energy-1.jpg" /></a>
Have a Low Level Profile!
Yes you can have up to 3 mobsters on one profile, BUT they will only earn their hourly income if they are active. I can't stress how sweet it is to have a low level profile, BUT it has to be a separate myspace. Open a new myspace and let it sit and make money. DO NOT LEVEL IT UP. I try and keep them at level 5 or under. See with it so low you can use it to be your hitman profile. Now you might not want to fight til it is making some good money. Here are the stats on my Level 5 - you can see below what that profile makes per hour:
IF you REMOVED, the last 0 you would see, that is what they make per hour (so this profile would make $77,450,000 per hour) - again here is my level 5's income to show you:
So how do you do that? Well you have to create an animated gif or you can morph the picture. There are two threads here to check out that explains step by step on how to do it:
How to make a animated picture .gif or How to Morph a picture
So feel free to add your tips and tricks that you have learned along the way.....
I was at a friends house a few weeks ago - she has mobsters on her page. So I played it for the first time - it was actually funner than I expected BTW - everytime I see mobsters ad - it reminds me of smartmom and her mobsters bulletins. Loool!!
Its such a stupid addicting game but I do love it. Oh and hey I try not to send out mobster bulletins they drive me nuts. I dont see bulletins any longer :-( Once you hit over 1500 friends you stop getting them. Between geek friends, real friends (as in that I know), family and then mobster friends I have over 3k in friends.
You should play - I'll help you and I have kick arse stats (see *points up*)
Ok so for those who play mobsters how do you like now that they pair you up with fight wise those that have stats similar to yours? I'm not much caring for it. I have a large mob of 4000+ (although I can only fight with 500) and now I get ranked with the high count mobs. I guess its fair but geez this is the mobsters when are mobsters fair?
So do you mess with the favor points at all? I see that alot of weapons especially the limtied edition, you can only buy with favor point.
Yeah but as soon as you but some new great weapon with your favor points a new one comes out that is better for the same amount of points. Save the favor points for level 100 + use them to refill your energy and get tanks
Ok tired of stuck only fighting Mobs your size/ I mean we are playing mobsters right - are mobsters ever fair? So here is how to still see the smaller mobs and pick on the little guys. Ok so here is my stats page - I only see mobs in the high numbers (mostly around 500)
<-- click to make larger
What you need to do is open a second profile and have it with a little mob but mirror your level. Like this:
<--click to make larger
Open one in IE and one in FF and then you can get the URL's of the small mobs to attack with your large mob one
Here is another tip: if you get over 3k in points on mobsteradd in ONE day it will auto put you on the top of the list for the following day. I've been doing this for a while. Last week I was out of town so I did not log into my backups to check how many invites they got (I did get them to the top of the list everyday). So I logged in to see and this is one weeks worth of ppl sending me invites
Also lets face it sex sells so if you need a sexy default then google images for "sexy mobster" and you will get tons of pics

I added my sexy mobster pic... We'll see how it does.
Hey SM, do you know anything about there being a "rule" about only attacking other mobsters three times? If you're not trying to kill them...

So I'm liking the new look of mobsters. Some pages no but on the fight page yes. I like how it shows if they have money and what their fight rate is.

SO what do you all think? Love it or Hate it?
