Tips for the Third Week of June 2010
Remembrance: A follow up on the Battle Of Midway. One of the interesting aspects of the Battle Of Midway is that the Japanese were successful in eliminating the air power that they were so afraid of. Their first strike destroyed all the planes on Midway. By the end of the counterpunching of both sides the Japanese had lost all their carriers, The USA had lost one, another damaged. But there were virtually no effective combat air groups left among the Americans. They had only a hand full of planes. The USA had no naval group that could challenge let alone stop the Japanese Invasion force heading towards Midway. Carriers without planes and pilots are pretty useless against battleships and cruisers. If the Japanese had wanted to finish their goal of taking Midway there was very little to stop them. They sacrificed their primary carrier strike force and got nothing in return. If they had taken Midway it would have made It much tougher for the USA to respond. Something else that is not often appreciated is that the Big E, USS Enterprise, was severely damaged in many battles. Their crew and captain did not abandon the ship, which many other commanders did when their carriers took damage similar to the Enterprise. It had it’s flight deck knocked out more than once, all it’s elevators damaged, and it would not leave the fight. The Captain and Crew knew there was no one else to do the job and if they left the field it would mean the enemy would control the area. Their very presence gave the enemy pause. The USS Enterprise received 5 Presidential Awards for their tour of service in WWII. Unfortunately we honored the ship by scrapping it and turning it into razor blades—over the protest and efforts of many that tired to safe it as a Memorial. The same fate was bestowed on the Cruiser, USS San Francisco—the only other Ship to receive a Presidential Award in WWII. They were even more damaged than the Enterprise in one of the greatest Naval Battles on record and their crew refused to leave when they were facing a vastly superior force of Battle Ships and Cruisers and they had only a couple 50 caliber and 30 caliber guns left working—all their deck guns and Senior officers killed.

Likejacking
Alabama Holman June 4 at 9:57pm Reply
It’s called “likejacking,” and it’s one of the latest-and-greatest exploits hitting Facebook users. Here’s how it works: You see that your friend “likes” something, so you click on it. It takes you to a page that is blank except for the message “Click here to continue.” If you click anywhere on the page, your profile will be updated and suddenly you, too, will “like” this mysterious page (note that you, yourself, never clicked “like this”). Here’s the kicker – the mysterious page is also infected with a Trojan. Now your friends see that you “like” this page, and they may get hit, too. This can be avoided by never downloading an application unless you absolutely trust its origin. You will know you have this infection if your computer begin to behave strangely in whatever browser you have downloaded this so called “cute” application. Remember, no matter what you’re told, anything you have to download, stays on your hard drive, not on the Internet. So be careful what you download into it.

Becoming an Officer
This is my Anniversary week of becoming an officer in a MW clan. I answered a request that Watch Your Back group 3 put out, sent in my information and after about 5 days was appointed Board Manager. I had no clue what a Board Manager was…and found out later that it depends on the group you’re in. I instantly added 1500 new friends in a week. I had weird work hours at the time and often ended up chatting with people who would pop in. I was level 80 something at the time. I ended up chatting a lot with some very strong players. This was back when WYB was at it’s peak with a Death and Ghost Squad—special attack teams. I only lasted about a month as their Board Manager—they had another person who just needed some extra help for a while. WYB Group 3 no longer exists. I then found BEEF and MoW. Became Board Mgr at BEEF and a soldier officer at MoW.

I appreciate all the help that the WYB tagged members gave me during the 6 week long BEEF-INDO war. I was reinforced and sent weapons beyond what you can imagine. I’m probably still involved because I became an officer. In a comparison to life, if you think of playing mafia wars as well just being a speck of dust in the world, joining a clan as joining a club, or going to a school of your choice. Becoming an officer makes you a active participant, a key holder to a small private club. You don’t need to be the strongest player to be an officer. You don’t need to be the brightest. Any average person who has about an hour a week to help take care of some administration stuff such as answering a players question which can be as simple as let me get the answer for you and ask someone else—that is what an officer does most of the time. I guarantee that you will have more fun meeting and chatting with various people from all over the world if you become an officer. If you do decide to accept the challenge, please remember that the game is Mafia Wars, that your Godfather is always right, even when he’s screws up. It’s your job to back him up. So if you have a little time, contact your Godfather and ask him if there is something that you can do to help out. I’m sure he will appreciate the help.
A new site for Godfathers and clan administrators is http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=129782373710961#
It’s similar to the one.
Trading
If you want to trade me weapons for a 7-11 code contact me directly. I’m doing some job skills updating next to a 7-11. Looking at like 15 Nak Kha Shotgun, or Lamang Motorcycle or equalivant or 4 hunters, rails, mugati for each code. May consider a diamond for a code. Is only good for those in the USA or Canada.
Right now trading is functionally dead. Face book and Zygna have both introduced script blocks. If you’re stupid enough to still try to find one to go around them either one could just delete your account. So I advise you to just relax and not use any scripts, including combat analyzers. So you understand a little more what happened. As far as I can tell, a couple weekends ago some people figured out how to counterfeit lottos by using some gifting script. So that is why both the lotto trade is down and trading is down. It’s very difficult to send any large numbers of gifts. As of late yesterday the Arun Gifter came back on line. If this stays functional trading may be back to normal numbers in a week or so.

The Story Continues
I took the 6 to 10 PM shift guarding the gate and the 7 to 10 am shift. I could easily watch and take care of the gate while doing the morning chores, feeding the chickens and taking care of the vegetable garden. It’s was very strange carrying a holstered pistol and a loaded riffle around. Took a bit of getting use too. We had some range time right after lunch 4 days a week now. I was discovering I was a pretty good shot at the targets. We practiced against 100 yards. I realized later my uncle did it to point out that he backed up his word. My brother and cousins were lazy at wanting to clean their ak’s so I offered to do it for a dollar a gun. An easy extra 5 dollars every time. We started getting in horses a couple days later. My uncle showed me another throw he wanted me to get down. He said that I was getting good with my first throw and soon we would be working on aim. He took me to the store one afternoon and ask the owner if I could leave a folding table and chair in back and sell some of the vegetables from the farm there each day to raise a little spending cash. He said sure. My uncle had a real nice sign made up for me that I could tape to the table, was a very cool set up. I started the next day. About 2:30 I’d take my vegetable, and any extra eggs that aunt Betty had, put them in my backpack(and sometimes an extra bag), leave my guns in my room and walk to the back gate(that I now had a key too). I’d call my uncle on the walkie talkie and tell him I was leaving the ranch, and go get my table and set it up. I usually had some carrots, tomatoes, sometimes a few beats, a couple heads of lettuce(was still early for the corn). When I was done the guy who owned the store bought my excess. Was very sweet on me. Went from being broke to making 4 dollars an hour as a guard and picked up an extra 5 to 10 dollars selling vegetable. I felt like a wealthy 9 year old. It was now July 2.
