Madd Trker's blog: "Mafia Guide"

Rules for Retaliation:

A. Retaliation against mobsters who are members of 75+ turfs need to be approved by the Boss or the Underboss. Provoking these turfs in any way is prohibited. Backhands are inflammatory and basically serve two purposes. One is if you get your ass whooped and there is nothing you can do about it, one might backhand a bunch of times out of frustration. We like to call these “Temper Tantrums”. Backhands do not need to be addressed unless they are excessive so don’t get all jacked up about it. You have only lost a few points of health. Two is as a warning that perhaps you are hitting an ally. Just something to catch your attention. If a Lt. or above backhands you in our turf, they are trying to get your attention, please come to the meeting room and find out why. 

B. We have members that monitor the feed through out the day looking for over hitting, friendly fire (hitting an allie) in either direction, and just generally watching out for our turf. We will be retaliating on your behalf. You might want to mention that you were over hit before you address it yourself because often we have already taken care of it for you. If we find you are retaliating on your own without asking what’s up, we will determine that you don’t help defending yourself and you will take care of it yourself when you get back on line. Double retaliation isn’t cool. This game is about Mafia Wars. That is what we signed up for. This means that sometimes we have skirmishes or issues with other turfs. Sometimes related to something that you did, or maybe something another person in the turf did. Sometimes you may be collateral damage in one of these skirmishes. This is also why it is important to ask if you saw that you got raped while you were gone. If we get into a nasty fight with someone and we resolve it then you come on and retaliate based on what you see in your feed, you could stir it all up again and get your teammates killed. 

C. Hitlisting is prohibited unless done by a Lieutenant or above. If you feel someone is a candidate for hitlisting or you want to hitlist someone please talk to a Lt or above. Backhands as individual retaliation should be performed by a Lt. or above as well. If you feel your mobster is struggling to defend themselves or isn’t coming along as you hoped, talk to Madd Trker, and together we can look at what you are doing and see if there is a solution.
