Mafia Wars Recruiting Strategies for Effective Mafia Building Without Annoying Friends

Mafia Wars is a game available on some social networking sites. Like most games, getting friends to join is an important key to success. The idea is to recruit a large mafia while leveling up in skills and making money. Facebook Mafia Wars players who do not recruit a large mafia usually find themselves victims of lost fights and property robberies. So let's look at several ways to add mafia members.

First, if you have not yet installed Mafia wars, check the friend suggestion box on the main facebook page and add the people you have been meaning to friend. Check your home page and accept any friend requests. Then install the Mafia Wars Facebook application. Any friends already playing or signed up for Mafia wars are automatically in your mafia.

Now you can use your status bar as a way to announce you are playing mafia wars and to ask people to join. Do not spam on your status bar! Also select "skip" instead of to post to your wall all Mafia Wars related posts be it gifts you gifted or bragging about a lottery ticket. Don't post your wish list on your wall too much as well. In fact the only Mafia Wars notice you should let publish to your wall is when you seek help with a key job or have a stash of real rare items to share. Spamming Mafia wars is most likely to make people opt to hide all your posts.

You can send Mafia Wars invites to your friends. Some of them may join. Do not press them to join. This move, although it may work, is not the best for two reasons. The first reason is people may find all the application invites that fly around Facebook to be annoying. The second reason is, even if they do accept, chances are they are just being polite and won't play. A Level 1 mafia member has the same weight in a fight as a level 200 member, but having members in your mafia that are active is better because they may send you gifts, will request help on jobs, and you randomly either can be a capo on their fights and make free cash or help them find a drop item on a fight and earn a reward. Active members in your mafia give you opportunities to gain extra money, experience, and rewards.

The secret to building a strong mafia is to manipulate one or more of the many facebook Mafia Wars add me groups. Do not follow any spamming instructions. Rather, go down to the wall and post a wall post asking for people to add you to their mafia. Then scroll down and add some of the previous posters.

Because you will be basically adding total strangers as friends, a more conservative move would be to open a second facebook account and make that the primary mafia wars account. Doing this will have three distinct benefits. First, you can keep your personal facebook to just your friends. Secondly, your friends are less likely to be annoyed by wall spam; have those who play mafia wars add your second account. This eliminates the drawbacks to spamming your wall. The third advantage is, mafia wars is addicting and having to log into a facebook account to play will allow for a greater self mastery and ability to feel in control as opposed to being subjected to the necessity to have to play mafia wars.
