I sort of just got started on facebook, and mafia wars. I only have like 10 people right now in my crew. Anyone here play and want to join forces?

I played on my iPhone for a while until I realized how retarded it was.
The objectives are limitless and irrelevant.

Now I play Tiger Woods PGA Tour. :)

That game was ok at first but it got exceedingly boring and monotonous very quickly - and to top off the fact that I get about 20 notifications from it a day...bye bye, mafia wars.

Very easy to play and control all the notifications. It was good for a little while when you are first starting and there is a challenge. Then all the tasks just got repetitive and it became a level grind where money is meaningless.

Especially when it got to the point where you had to repeat old tasks dozens of times to get the items you needed for the higher level ones. I've got billions of dollars, let me buy them damnit.

Dumb.

I have been playing it - really it just takes a couple of minutes once a day, so I just find it as a dumb little thing to do every so often. I suppose you could be hardcore and time when things refresh to go update them, but screw that. It does make little sense in that money is just about worthless. I have hundreds of billions of dollars (I think) but it really serves no purpose.

The whole point of that stupid game is to get as many people signed up in your mafia as possible. I realized this and how stupid it was after I played for a week and kept getting my ass kicked by players 1/4 of my level who had 10x the number in their mafia as I did.

Well, if a former Ikariam addict thinks it's a waste of time, then I'm definitely not touching it :p
