Your Mob:

These are not a collection of your closest friends and neighbors. You don't need to know the mobster and their level doesn't matter in the game. A level 1 mobster helps you exactly the same as a level 1000 mobster as a member of your mob.

You get 5 mobbies per level to help you when you attack or defend. Your mob size in on the same line on your mafia tool bar as your rating (some people call this level). So for example, at level 1: 1 x 5=5 mobbies, at level 2: 2 x 5=10. This math continues rating x5 until you reach level 150 and then your maximum usuable mob is 750. You have the capacity to hold 1000 mbbies. This is very helpful so that you don't have to scramble every time you level to find five more. Just understand, usuable mob is 5 X your current rating. Any extras you have are waiting until you are big enough to use them.

This also allows plenty of room to have our turf as well as family/allies/friendly turf members in our mob. Once you have someone in your mob, if you were to go to their mobster, the backhand/hitlist/fight buttons are all removed. This helps prevent accidental attacks on those that have our back. So while any mobster will do to fill in our mob, you can see how much more effective it would be if these mobbies were the ones in our turf/family/allies/friendlies.

This does not eliminate your ability to kill them on the hitlist. Where as random or general attacks off the attack list on the members of the before mention turfs are prohibited, the hitlist is free game. It doesn't violate a turf rule or an allied agreement to kill someone on the hitlist. The way we figure it, someone has marked you for death and paid that bounty, you are going to die and someone is going to get that money and we would much prefer our allies to get it than our enemies!! If someone on in our turf gets listed, go after their bounty and bring it home!! lol

How to mob up:
If you hover over any mobster, a screen opens up that lets us see a little more about this mobster such as their rating, their rank in the turf, and where they are turfed. It also will have one of two red buttons available to click. One says "send mob request" (click this) the other will say "kick out of mob!" dont click this one, that means they are already in your mob! They added the Mob All button at the top of the turf, so it is very easy to send a request to the whole turf at once then be patient as people come on line they will add you if they have room. To hit that button every day is not going to get you more mob or get you mob quicker.

If you look at the turf board, click the yellow [] and it will open up our whole board. Each of the family/allied/friendly turfs are listed (might want to write these down and keep them close if you are going to be attacking off the attack list) in the private section. Each name is a link that will take you to that turf. DO NOT drop a line in the room asking for them to add you. This is lazy and if I see I will list you myself!!!

So you can send out the mob requests individually to each person in those allied turfs. This is boring, absolutely, but it is quick and it is easy. You can add a good portion of our allies in a 30 minute time frame. 

If you can contact someone in one of those turfs that is an Lt or Above, they will often let you come in and hit the mob all button. Don't assume they will let you, this is a pre-arrangement. If they are available and agree, you would cancel out of our turf, request to theirs, hit the mob all button, thank them nicely, cancel out of their turf and come back to ours to request again. 

Another place to get mob if you aren't getting enough or getting them quickly enough is to pop into the e-turf and hit the mob all button. You do not have to get permission to do that, you just have to be accepted into the turf.
