Much like Moscow, there are two different sides to choose from. The side you choose controls the story, the jobs, and the loot. This time, you are choosing between the Japanese Yazuka and the Chinese Triads. The story is that these two groups have been battling over the Thailand territory and you will have to choose which side you want to help to be successful in this area of the game. The choice will be made twice per episode for all four mastery levels."
Zynga will no longer continue development on its soft-launched 4X game Mafia Wars.

At the end of September, Facebook accounted for 1.01 billion active users worldwide – that’s an astonishing 14% of the world’s population.
But for every person that uses Facebook, there’s probably an app or game. And almost every single one of those games could disappear without a trace, and the world would not bat an eyelash.

Great guide!
Oh man, that means even more notifications on my facebook page, doesn't it? Though I have to admit, I've been playing D&D mini adventures, so I may have to give it a go.
Hmm, I've always shied away from Mafia Wars because of its excessive notifications, but I might give it a second look. Good read, good guide, thanks.
This article makes me want to lean closer to playing mafia wars, but like jpymai, the excessive updates keep me away.
I actually started playing Mafia Wars a couple weeks ago. It's really not bad, for what it is. Uses practically no resources, which I like. Doesn't crank my CPU to 100% like Zynga's heavy flash games.
