More Mobster Mania and Mob Building

If you play Mobsters online, through Myspace or another application, I hope you may already know the importance of building up a strong effective mob. If you don't you're probably being beat up on a regular basis. If you want to stop the kids from stealing your lunch money, see my other article on Myspace Mobster Mania Tips on mob building to find out ways to build the perfect mob family.

In that article, I talked about the fact that your mob was limited to 500 of your closest friends and strangers. I also noted that it has been hinted at that there would be a twist in the game.

Well Survivor and Big Brother have nothing on our Mobster Godfather. He's a wily character. If you are a fan of the game, you know the master keeps reeling us in with the admonition that we could only use 500 members in battles. Reeled us and reeled us. Then he dropped the net and ripped away the very net we use in playing the game. That rule of only 500 mob members changes. We suspected it, but the Godfather kept it a secret.

Now, if you want to play a successful game and be an asset to your mob, you have to add more than 500 members. As you move up levels, having more than 500 members is a necessity. If you stop adding people at 500 early on, you'll miss huge opportunities.

Your ability to complete missions changes as you move up in levels. I made the mistake of selling off some of my lower-level ammo and vehicles thinking that the cost was stupid when it seemed I could only fight with 500 people. Better to arm them with the top of everything, right? Well, I learned that as I moved up in levels, I needed a few of the lower-level items to gain the most money in missions.

Likewise, certain missions now require that you have 50 (or some number) of new mob members. So people who stopped building the mob at the 500 limit started scrambling to get back to basics of finding new mobbies. To infiltrate a hospital, I've been told I need 709 mobbies. Luckily, I kept adding anyone who asked. On the surface, I thought I was doing that person a favor, but I had that nagging suspicion. When you're a Mobster, you have to learn to trust those nagging suspicions.

The moral of the story: always keep building and growing even if you think it's not necessary. And never turn your back on the Godfather. He's always going to surprise you.
