Why do I need more than 501 members in my Mafia?
"This may seem like a novice question, but why have a mafia size of 5,000, or 10,000 when Zynga says your limit is 501? What do the additional family members provide?"
First of all that is not a novice question and I've been asked that question almost daily so I'm going to address it here. As you all know, you can bring up to 501 Mafia when you fight (When you rob you can bring as many as equal to your current level... are you level 50 you can rob with 50 Mafia). What's the point in getting more mafia?
1. When someone uses you in fights and you fight as their Capo you can get money from that fight AND the most important thing - You'll receive EXPERIENCE POINTS! If you have a Mafia of 1000 the probability of fighting as someone's Capo is higher than if you have a Mafia of 501. You will be more used in fights from your own Mafia the bigger your Mafia is and you'll get more experience points....and money.
2. Having a big Mafia also increases your chances to find better candidates to your Top Mafia and finding the candidates that gives you maximum count for each available Top Mafia slot (Buttonman, Mastermind and so on).
3. For every 2 mafia you can buy 1 Mafia Mike. It has the best cost/gain ratio of all the properties AND it can't be robbed!!!
4. A big Mafia increases the chances that someone pick you for their Top Mafia. As you move up the levels, new players will promote you into their Top Mafia slots. This really kicks in around level 250+, but can be lower. You get additional bonuses for being placed in Top Mafia (being someone's Mastermind gives you occasional 50% extra XP on jobs, for instance--nice when you are trying to reach that next level).
Continuing to add mafia, especially new players, increases your chances of being promoted and getting the bonuses.
So, the next question is
"How do I add all of these people to my Mafia without getting one of those dreaded Pink Boxes?

The single most important thing to remember is that you get in trouble when you try to add 5,000 yourself, the key is to have 5,000 people add you.
There are a couple different ways to go about this, one is to add your name to some of the Add Me Lists, like we have here on MWNPT, the other is to join 1 or more of the Mass Email Lists.
MWNPT realized that this was a good way to get people to that 5,000 mark, and we have created a separate page dedicated to helping people reach 5,000 Members as safely as possible. Our Admins make time to review the email list, and remove errors, and if we are alerted to spam emails in the list, we remove them.
To learn more about Mass Email Adding, go here:

As always, post questions on our "* Official * Post Your Questions Here" Discussion Thread, and one of our Admins, or a helpful member, should answer you shortly.
Thank you all for your continued support!

And the question to follow: Why should you remove small ones and keep the big ones, after you have reached 5000? It really doesnt matter, or does it??
