Mafia Wars Strategies–Joining a Clan or Not?

Hiyaaa!

Do you know what clan is?

I know there are lots of clans out there.. I have posted about what is clan and examples of some clans on this game. Of course they are raising as any of you can create one.

But there is a Private clan. You have to request to join. And not only that, you have to prepare with enough Attack and Defense Skill Points to enter the clan. Some strong clan require you to have at least 2000 Attack and/or Defense Points! Then you also have to wear the clan tag in front of your mafia name.. You can not be in more than one clan.. etc..

So, what’s so special about becoming a clan member? I’ll try to summarize it on this post.

The Advantages of joining a clan

- You got lots of mafia familiy members from your clan
- Got protections from the admin, GodFather and other members of clan
- Some clans kind enough to share the loots & collections for free to make their members stronger
- You can get some infos (any news) from the mailing list of your clan
- Some thinks that joining a clan is a privilege, they are proud wearing a name tag! (I see some players who have lots of name tag on their mafia name)
- Some players will think twice to attack you on fight list or hit list.
- Etc

The Dis-advantages of joining a clan

- If you’re on war with other clan, will be difficult for you to stay long in HitList (to obtain BullerProof achievement) because your opponent will hunt your clan members there.

- If you are wearing a name tag, will be hard for you to add others mafia.. hmm how to say this, some players are selective to choose their mafia. They will not add their opponents, right?

- Clans have their own rules that you need to follow.. For example, you can not interact with the outsiders of your clan.. you can not add more friends outside of your clan members, etc.

- You can not attack other clan who allied with your clan. If you accidently attack one mafia on the fight list (who wearing a tag), can cause a war between 2 clans. It’s hard to choose your opponent on the fight list in case you worry of making your clan’s name bad or provoke a war!
- If you decide to get out of the clan (private one), be prepare with the bounty and a betrayal on your face!

- Etc

As for me, I don’t wanna join any clan at the moment. I don’t want anybody to decide how to play this game. I wanna add more mafias.. I wanna trade with anyone.. I can attack anybody.. I can take a bounty on anybody.. I don’t care if I lose in a fight, I’ll add more skill points and strenghten my mafias!

But the choice is yours, my friends.. you decide your own way of game!

There are 2 kinds of clan, Open for public and Private one.

For Open for public clan, they accept anyone.. you can just become a member without any obligation to put a name tag in front of your mafia name. You can attack anyone even your own clan members.. The admin or GodFather of the clan only need high numbers of their mafia members, that’s it.
