So I thought I would do an area with some more advanced help and tips while playing mobsters. If you're new to mobsters then I recommend you check out this thread first to explain the basics of the game: Myspace Mobsters 101 - how to play

How can you tell someones ID when you are fighting them? Well go to their stats page (click on their name in BLUE) and then look at the top url. Now depending if you are in Firefox or Internet Explorer it will look a little different (its between the 22 & %). I'll use MY url as a example - my ID is 406773530 Here is the URL's in Firefox and Internet Explorer:

Firefox:
http://profile.myspace.com/Modules/Applications/Pages/Canvas.aspx?appId=104283&appParams={%22show_user_id%22%3A"406773530"}

Internet Explorer:
http://profile.myspace.com/Modules/Applications/Pages/Canvas.aspx?appId=104283&appParams={%22show_user_id%22%3A%22406773530%22}

FYI: Now alot of people can't really figure this out, so if you're doing a broadcast I like to add both ways in. Example: " Hey I need someone to hitlist this person for me: 22123456789 or if you're in Firefox its 123456789"

How many should you have in your Mob?
Well is there ever to many? See as you move along you will find that some items require you to have more mobsters to buy. The more you buy the more mobsters you need. Currently I have 3118 mobsters. Because I have so many I was able to buy a ton of ambulances (they require you to have so many mobsters). I own currently 558 of them. Basically if I go to the hospital and I get low on health well I get VIP treatment - see:

This is for the EXTREME mobsters out there.
Here is a site where the guy does a Mobster spreadsheet that you can load in your own stats and it will help you as far as where you should go next in the game. Here is a idea of what the spreadsheet looks like:

Within the spreadsheet there are additional tabs:

So if you are really, really into doing the mobster app on myspace this will help you along!

Have a Low Level Profile!
Yes you can have up to 3 mobsters on one profile, BUT they will only earn their hourly income if they are active. I can't stress how sweet it is to have a low level profile, BUT it has to be a separate myspace. Open a new myspace and let it sit and make money. DO NOT LEVEL IT UP. I try and keep them at level 5 or under. See with it so low you can use it to be your hitman profile. Now you might not want to fight til it is making some good money. Here are the stats on my Level 5 - you can see below what that profile makes per hour:

How can you tell what another mobster makes a hour?
Well that is easy, go to their stats page and hit the "ADD TO HITLIST" (just because you hit that doesn't mean you are going to hit list them). Look at the amount it cost to hitlist them - example of MY level 5 profile:

IF you REMOVED, the last 0 you would see, that is what they make per hour (so this profile would make $77,450,000 per hour) - again here is my level 5's income to show you:

Advancements and badges follow as this

So you're part of a mob now and want to show your alliance with them. We have all seen the avatars that flash their mob names like this:

So how do you do that? Well you have to create an animated gif or you can morph the picture. There are two threads here to check out that explains step by step on how to do it:
