Mafia Wars teams up with PayPal to offer exclusive discounts



PayPal has teamed up with Zynga to offer Mafia Wars players a 15% discount on any reward point package, 21 reward points and higher purchased with PayPal. Comes to players as a limited time offer. PayPal seems to want to stamp it's presence as an online pay master in the fastest growing online payment market, Social Games.



So players looking to get a discount had better hurry as both Zynga and PayPal say that this is a limited time offer. We feel that we are going to see more of these offers across other games by Zynga like FarmVille and PetVille as PayPal seeks to establish themselves in the online gaming market.

  3. Next, your image needs to be hosted. Go to www.imageshack.com. (Don't worry, it's free!)

  4. Click on the "Browse" button.

  5. Select the image you wish to upload from your computer.

  6. Check the box next to the "Resize image?" option.

Please remember that this is only one of many free image hosting websites. It is not required that users use Imageshack to participate in this event.

A vast majority of free image hosting websites have a bandwidth limit. This means that if enough people view your picture, there is the possibility that your bandwidth will be exceeded, and your image will no longer be visible. Should this happen, it is your responsibility to re-upload your image to another site prior to the end of the event.

Happy farming everyone!

In order to keep your puppy from going to the pound you need to feed it kibble once every 24 hours. Kibble can be purchased from the market for 5 farm cash or you can ask your friends to send you kibble. Clicking the "Ask Your Friends" will give you to option to post a feed that if clicked, will allow 3 of your neighbors to send you one bag of kibble each.

Once you’re ready to purchase your Red Border Collie, click the Buy button. You’ll receive a popup reminding you to feed your puppy Kibble once every day, or it will run away:



Clicking Okay will take you to your Farm to place your new puppy. You are only charged for the puppy when you place him or her on your Farm. Once your puppy is placed, it will run up to you with a thought bubble over its head with Kibble inside.



This means that your puppy is hungry and needs kibble!
Coin Option – Feeding Your Puppy
In order to keep your puppy around, once it’s hungry you’ll need to feed it Kibble once every 24 hours for a period of 14 days. You can get Kibble one of two ways:

Purchasing it in the Market for 5 Farm Cash (one bag per 5 Farm Cash):



Or you can ask your friends to send you Kibble via Feeds. Selecting Ask for Kibble from your puppy’s pulldown menu will bring up the following popup:



Clicking Ask Your Friends will give you the option to post a feed that if clicked will let up to three of your neighbors send you one bag of Kibble each. This feed remains active for up to 24 hours, or once three neighbors have clicked. Each neighbor that helps you receives 100 Coins.

All Kibble you receive whether from Neighbors or from the Market will automatically go to your Gift Box. To feed your puppy, when you have Kibble available and they are hungry, either select Feed from the puppy’s pulldown menu.

To view the status of your puppy, simply mouseover your pet, and you’ll see how many times out of 14 that they’ve already been fed. If they’re currently hungry, you’ll see how much time you have before they run away (the “Feed Now” timer). If they’ve already been fed once for the day, you’ll see a timer showing how long you have before they’re hungry again.



Clicking Pay Fine will take you to the Pets section of the Market with a ‘Rescue My Dog’ option.



Clicking Buy will take you back to your Farm and give you the option to place your puppy.
Farm Cash Option – Buying A Puppy
You can buy the Golden Retriever, Sheep Dog, and Border Collie for 65 Farm Cash Each. Each Puppy has the option for three different colors, along with the same options as the Coin Option puppy. The Cash puppy also comes with a 2 weeks supply of Kibble.

Eventually, all puppies, if well taken care of will become full grown dogs!
PLEASE NOTE: Your Farm Cash will not be deducted until you place your puppy on your Farm.

Remember that you may only have one Coin purchased puppy. That means that if your puppy goes to the pound, you can not purchase another Coin puppy. You’ll have to retrieve your original puppy from the pound.
Rescuing Your Puppy From the Pound – Coin Puppy Only
If you forget to feed your puppy, they’ll end up in the pound, and you’ll need to pay to get them out. When you enter FarmVille after your puppy’s run away, there will be a HUD icon in the upper-left hand corner of your screen with a puppy behind bars. Once you click on this HUD icon, you’ll receive the following pop up:

Clicking the "Asked For Eggs" button will allow you to send a single spring eggs to any of your friends just like the free gifts page. This gives you friends the chance to send you one in return. New farmers having been around for seven days or less can send out more eggs at a time. New farmers can send three spring eggs to a single friend. Upon accepting a spring egg it will appear in your gift box. Clicking "Use" will place the gift in your box automatically.




Every five spring eggs you collect you'll be able to post a feed to your wall to alert your friends of how all your doing and give them a chance to collect a free spring egg. Ten neighbors will be able to collect one free spring eggs by clicking on the feed within 24 hours. For each notch on the meter of your spring egg progress bar you basket will change appearance. Over flowing with more and more gifts. Clicking "Progress" in the spring basket menu will show you how many eggs you have in comparison to your friends.

FarmVille Wandering Stallions

How to get a foal in FarmVille.

You need to first find a Stallion wandering around on your farm. Once found you could offer shelter to the New Stallion in your Horse Stable resulting in a Foal the next time your harvest your stable. This seems the easiest way to get this cute looking creature on your Farm.

So the next time you login to the game you will find an information pop-up warning you that you may come across a wondering Stallion on your farm. Once you find the stallion you can post your new discovery to your wall. you friends can click on it and also give the stallion shelter for the night inside their own stables.

So the next time you and your friends harvest your stables you are likely to find a new foal. You don't actually adopt a stallion but simply give it shelter for the night.

Here's how it works.

1. Periodically you will get a pop-up that a wondering stallion has appeared on your farm
2. This pop-up will allow you to post a feed to your wall
3. 10 of your neighbors can click on this feed to give shelter to this wondering stallion.
4. The wondering stallion is an event not a permanent animal that can be kept on your farm
5. Choosing to give the wandering stallion shelter means he will automatically be placed into your horse stable.
6. If you have a stallion to stand a chance of receiving a foal next time you collect from your stable
7. If you already have a stallion you cannot get another
8. Clicking on multiple feeds from your friends does not increase your chances of getting a foal.
9. Once a foal is born you receive a pop up informing you that your foal is eager to explore the world.
10. This feed can be posted to your wall and 5 of your neighbors clicking on this feed can receive a foal.
11. Types of foal are determined by the types of horses in your stable.
12. The type of foal you receive is determined by the kind of horses in your stable. Stables filled with pinto horses are more likely to find a pinto foal.
13. The pink pony, brown pony,  high kick horse and spectator horse will produce a brown foal.
14. Once your harvest a foal you would need to click on another wandering stallion to get another new foal.
15. The limited edition white stallion can be placed inside your horse stable and  will act as a permanent wondering stallion. So each time you harvest from your stable you will stand a chance of finding a foal.
16. If you find a foal you will not find a consumable. So if your priority is to find a consumable you may not want to click on the wandering stallion.
17. If you do not receive a foal when you harvest your stable you will receive a arborist, farmhand or a 100 XP.
18. baby foal are more than just cute. They can be brushed every 24 hours and they cannot be placed inside your horse stable.
