Mafia Wars in Facebook

Hi,

I am addicted to online RPG*(see below) again. Earlier I used to play LOL(Lords of Legend) and its fun. Every RPG needs a lot of understanding about the background information, strategies, tactics and lot of mouse clicking. You should spend a lot of before the computer frequently.

Now-a-days I started playing Mafia Wars in Facebook. After I opened an account in Facebook, this game is the sole reason I login Facebook everyday. This game closely resembles Mario Puzo's masterpiece novel 'The Godfather'. Basically in this game you are the don of the family and you have to rule the crime empire. You have to do several street thugs jobs and enhance your experience. You fight with another criminals and defeat them to earn money and experience. You construct many buildinɡs, hotels and earn rent on them. You buy guns, armour and vehicles to expand your dark empire. In this game there is the concept of clan also. This game differs from LOL in many ways, but the central idea is same: Improve your character.

Two years back, I used to play this LOL game. I took a while to learn all the tricks and strategies and after that I used to play it daily. This game possesses close resemblance to JRR Tolkien's trilogy novel 'The Lord of the Rings'. First you have to choose your race: Humans, Elves, Draconians, Dark Elves, Orcs, Undead and you are the warlord of a kingdom. You have to manage your army, defend the kingdom, repel the enemies and help your clan to glory. You have to attack enemies and gain gold and experience points. Using gold, you can buy mercenaries, train your troops, build defence, construct buildings and expand your empire. With experience points you can increase your level. You can join a clan and help your clan reach the top position. I played for 'Fellowship of Angel' clan, and its nice to play alongside them. They had a very nice website, www.fellowshipofangel.com, which is not available now. We finished Top10 at the end of the round.

*RPG means Role Playing Game. In this the player assumes the role of the character and helps to improve the character. Participants determine the actions of their characters based on their characterisation and the actions succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines. Within the rules, players have the freedom to improvise; their choices shape the direction and outcome of the game.
