Logically

Looking at the new lowered NW turns prizes makes me scoff and was the last straw to compelling
me to spill some ideas I have had for quite some time. As we all have seen, there is no
question that themobster.com has hit a dry spell for the most part, starting from its peak of
a
stable 3k per round now falling to a 1k jackpot which only touches 2k at times. Here are a few
suggestions and thoughts I have had on the reasons for this decline and also maybe some ways
for … people to improve it.

First off I want to say, LOWERING TURN PRIZES WILL ONLY RESULT IN A LOSS OF PLAYERS. This is
including making families smaller and lowering any type of chance for people to obtain turns.
Reason being is that it won’t work lol. See, we have tons of loyal players who are still out
there who know every possible string and angle to the game and because of this, they will
ALWAYS be gaining. By lowering the turns you are only forcing more new supporters away. From
playing other games, I have learned that there are many random supporters who go on games,
spend a few hundred and have fun with their first bought turns, but also the ones they win.
With the new lowered turn amounts, this isn’t possible. The loyal’s who have always been
gaining turns will continue to do so and the supporters who spend $500 or less are going to
lose all that FAST. Spend 500, get 60k turns back – cant do much with that now can you? Hence
the feelings of “screw this game: and “I am not going to support, refer, or come back.”
Obviously not what we want for this game. We need supporters continuously for our own
entertainment, to keep this game running, and to keep those annoying ads off the site. But
because of times like this, of lowered turns, people will spend less and the site will continue
to flail.

This site already has a few things going against it now however. It has already passed its
prime, as far as we can see. The days of GoldenGate and Arc_Angel were vital, but not utilized
(nor the short lived AlCapone). During these days there SHOULD NOT have been a stable 3k
prize.
When these supporters awed the mobster world, 00ing each other, what did they get max? … 3k. It
seems a lot to us, but I doubt either of them were able to stay even financially. There should
have been a jackpot for their winnings. I think because there was no jackpot they slowly left,
I mean the winnings totally sucked for what they spent. Why not go to TMB where they could
battle it out and the pots would be going up to 15k as I heard them once do? 15k !!!!! that’s
unheard of here the max being less than half of that, 6k? Which brings me to the point of the
jackpot. What is the jackpot set at? 20%? Another reason why supporters do not come. If I were
to spend another 1k I think I would like to see the jackpot move more than $200. When AlCapone
fought against Big_Balls and Cybermafia more than 20k was spent… amazing huh, but yet the
jackpot was 6k … I wouldn’t want to come back if the prize was crap would you? DarkSyndicate
was never able to put that “unlimited income” into play because, I think, he left due to the
prize being total crap for what you would have to spend. Note: this is speculation. I mean even
though many of these guys may have unlimited income the prize money and the fame is what they
play for. A 15k pot will make a supporter with unlimited income be more willing to spend and
come back for fun than a site where the pot moves at 20% making for more conservative spending
and a measly 6k pot don’t you think? A 15k pot and a fun fight has more fame and “inner”
reward
than a 3k prize with a good fight, with a set 3k no one sees what you are really capable of,
which is what many large supporters want to flaunt (the 3k restraining that ability to show
off).

Personal opinion for change: Raise the prizes … at least for supporters because you absolutely
need them. Do that along with maybe raising the amount of turns you receive when you buy large
amounts. Either that or compensate old supporters with turns lol. There has to be an inflation
of turns so new supporters won’t be utterly destroyed by free players who have massive amounts.
How fun is it to spent 1k but yet have a family out there with each member being able to kill
you? Haha

Right off the bat, supporters don’t even expect to win money on this game haha. What spend 2k?
–Jackpot goes to about 1.4k – you have 800k turns. Use those turns get an ending NW of like
idk
8 tril whooo hoooo you just won one round … how boring, there are no turns for excess fun
because you need to have a high NW … you just lost $600 for an uneventful round obtaining just
a golden gun, which does look nice but is not worth it. Supporters need to be able to win, but
also have the turn spending power to have fun. This is a supporters game and should somewhat
be
ruled by them.

I must say I love themobster lol. From what I have seen it is the most original looking and has
the best game play and I hope it stays that way. Other than the reasons I listed, I don’t see
how any supporter can choose a game like TMB where it looks like any other mafia game. I have
talked with others and we have agreed that this game is the most original game in almost every
aspect like its templates due to omar’s hard work. This is why I’m loyal to it and if anything
will only spend here currently. I hope to see mobster reach a new peak in its long history and
the days of the supporters to return hopefully with fun battles, family wars, and huge
personal
fights. Those were the days. I still see and know many mobsters out there who have money, now
they want a reason to spend it here but not have seen a good enough one yet. I hope that will
change…

I know many of you may be against me… because many of you are loyals who are always gaining.
Each round the noobs are leaving which leaves only us. This game wont last much longer if we
don’t find a way to expand and make this game grow even if that means sacrificing a little
domination.

Summary basically saying:
- Need higher pot growth (more than 20%)
- Raise NW prizes back to norm or even higher, at least for supporter ranks
- Maybe more turns per purchase
- Maybe compensation turns to supporters maybe bring some back
- No more greed!

AND please, remove the ads and pop ups (pop ups, how low can you get?) I personally don’t get
them because I’m a supporter but I have no doubt new supporters would be turned off by seeing
them and in turn would not support, not even mentioning the loss of basic noobs who are also
turned off by the ads.

Enjoy

    haha, very nice article and very true. This game has gotten very bland because of the penny pincher Omar. C’mon dude quit messing with the game. Make up your mind, perhaps start taking pills to keep you on a normal thinking level. For real the reason i stopped supporting was because of the constant insecurity of things being changed from round to the next. I have lost so many turns from Omar not communicating his retarded changes from one round to the next. I am still sitting on 1.5+ mill turns from my supporting days. Will you ever see me use them? not until Omar makes this game what it was, and keeps the game stable without changes. I know a few people sitting on turns because of this reason and refuse to support or even use them for that matter.

    Why am i still around if i choose not to use turns? Simple, because at one time this game was amazing, and my once love for it has kept me here with the hope that Omar will grow a set, set things right and the game improves. until then have fun to everyone but don’t support when Omar is being so shallow that he can’t compensate the supporters for what their wins are really worth. If you do support it’s your own fault for a change for the good not happening, because Omar will see he is still making some money and in turn he has won.

    lol @ “Your comment is awaiting moderation”
    what is this omar controlled censorship?
    anyone ever read Orwell 1984? Fahrenheit 451? lol or heard of the Patriot Act? =P

    COINCIDENCE?! i think not!

  7. Lil_Friend Says:

    Great article !!!! I for one can not comprehend how you go backwards with prizes. If anything, they should improve or stay the same. And Slowburn is also very accurate with his comments on the inconsistency. Omar knows from past experience that no one likes 10 member families but yet we went to it last round. And when we did 30 members a couple of rounds ago, even though I didn’t like it, Wolfy made a good point that it would help keep newer people cause they would have a better chance of being with a family that ranked and getting some account turns. But then we went to 10 and now we’re back at 30 this round….and now I’m dizzy, lol. I don’t like change, but if it makes the game better in the long run I’m all for it. There has to be consistency like there was for a very long time on Mobster awhile back. And do we need to start a petition or something to get the prizes back to where they were or improve them !?!?!

  8. Wolfy Says:

    Idk what everyones bitching about, Ive won like 3 laptops, 6 new ipods, and got to watch jessica simpson struggle to get out of her scuba diving gear!!! Take advantage of these great ads!!

  9. Death_Reaper Says:

    Hell yeah, put the turns for the ranks back. What was wrong with them before? If it was making people happy, why the fuck change it? I love this game, and will continue to, but I get tired of it changing so much.

  10. JTB Says:

    Wolfy I think you may be suffering from TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) over there in your PMS fam. :) WEll written artcile Anonymous. I agree completely. One thing you didn’t mention is that the KILLER prizes (too high to begin with) are still much greater than that of turn prizes awarded for networth. In my opinion (although I will admit- in 2 years of playing this game I’ve never enjoyed killing…or put much time into it other than when TKT wanted us to keep people o-o’d for rounds) it takes more time online to scab than to kill. I understand that it also uses up more turns to kill competitively, but come on, 100k/round for 1st place??? WTF

    If the game honestly wants more players, why not offer an incentive to gain turns through voting like a few other games out there? Just my 2 cents. Thanks for the forum. Joethebutcher.
