You come from a humble Bronx family and begin your climb up through the mob's chain of command, leaving a body behind on every step. You must train in the gym, get an education, and find a job to use as a cover for your illegal activities. Once near the top, you can try and eliminate a rival family's don and assume control of the nation's most powerful crime family. The choice is yours but it won't be easy. There are many others out there just like you, a poor Italian kid from the Bronx. Do you have what it takes? Will you become the Don of the most powerful family in the mafia? Only time will tell!!

So my plan now is, we have our M-W Thanksgiving this weekend. All donations for the month of November will count towards the giveaway. I will have everything ready for a Friday start.
Sorry it had to be delayed, just not enough hours in the day
Thanks for understanding

Thanksgiving
November 9, 2011
Thanksgiving:
For Thanksgiving this year we WILL be having a contest for some rare weapons and a way for you to get some free stuff, like we have for the past holidays. I was also going to run a short BOGO with it.
I decided to turn the BOGO on early and donate most of the income to some local food banks and homeless shelters.
The "Thanksgiving Promo" is not ready yet, but any donations made in November will receive entry.
Like I said, just starting the BOGO early in hopes of raising more to help some local food banks, and to have time to donate it to them before Thanksgiving.
More details about the "Thanksgiving Promo" will be coming soon!!

Respect/Personal Respect
October 12, 2011
You will no longer GAIN respect for your family or for yourself when you are NOT the attacker.
To EARN family respect or personal respect you MUST be the ATTACKER and WIN the fight.
My intent with this is to stop the point throwing. There is no reason why YOU should GAIN respect if someone else ATTACKS you and LOSES.

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY MAFIA-WARS
September 18, 2011
WE ARE OFFICIALLY 5 YEARS OLD!! Here is to 5 more great years with many new and exciting features to come!! We have a little gift for everyone to help us celebrate.
Thanks for being here with us on our 5th birthday! ~M-W Admin
Please dont EVER forget.
September 11, 2011
UPGRADE UPDATE:
August 28, 2011
Personal Respect
You will now personally gain and lose respect for your wins and losses along with adding and subtracting from your family total. Personal respect can be seen on your home page or in the members area of your family page. If you are not in a family, you have no personal respect. If your respect goes over a certain threshold (currently 25) you can leave your family even if they are at war. If your respect goes below a set threshold (currently -25) you can be kicked even while at war. If a family member is kicked or leaves the family, their personal respect is subtracted from the family total with a couple exceptions. If that member has negative respect, the family respect does not change. The most a family can lose is from a departing member is 1000. The family will not be taken below 100 respect. The 25/-25 thresholds will rise in the next couple weeks. This is purposely set low in order to allow movement with the war free for all. This will also take away much of the point throwing strategy.
Thanks

DP Rules
June 8, 2011
the only rule reguarding DPs is the no demanding DPs as terms of a surrender, you can offer them as much as you want to try and get someone to surrender or let you surrender, but no one is allowed to demand them.
As far as getting scammed for DPs, Im tired of hearing it. There is a market, USE IT. If you dumb enough to send someone something you paid money for with no guarantee they will pay, that's on you.

Game Rules

Game Rules Have changed, please review them, as ignorance will not be accepted as an excuse.
Thank you all again for your patience through all of this.

New Weapons
March 7, 2011
New weapons are out!! All weapons are now level specific, meaning if you cant get to the city they are sold in, you cant use them. In addition to the 36 added today, I plan on adding more in the near future, maybe even a few daily.
I am also planning on adding new cities, houses, and other items in the near future. There are 2 posts in the forums, one for houses, one for cities. Please feel free to post some suggestions.
Thanks Mike
Bank interest rates
March 1, 2011
In order to help get the amount of money in the game back under control, bank interest rates are now as follows:
At the end of each day, you will earn 0.5% interest on the first $200 trillion in your account.
And 0.25% on any amount beyond $200 trillion.
The deposit fee is also being lowered to 7.5%. Once we get the money more under control the numbers can be adjusted.
Thanks Mike
$3000 max deposit fee
March 1, 2011
The max fee of $3000 on deposits has been removed. It is now just a flat fee of 15%.
Thanks Mike
New weapons on the way
February 28, 2011
Working on adding new weapons. All new weapons will be level specific, meaning if you cant get to the city they are sold in, you cant use them. For now, all the old weapons are staying as they are, but that could change once all the new weapons are ready. So far I have 22 new weapons created I just need to set their prices, location to be sold, and damage. I hope to have some ready for release by this coming weekend
Thanks Mike
Fake Relationships
February 14, 2011
From this point forward, anyone trying to put pressure on other players because of some fake relationship with the admins will be put in fed with a death sentence. The staff does not play favorites...the staff is not related to any player...long time players and friends do not get special treatment. Example: You need to give me all your money because rkkiller is my best friend and he'll fed you. If I hear of this type of thing, you are done. This is your only warning and I will not hear excuses about gray areas.
