Mafia Wars big bang: Less than 100K visits before armored truck goes boom

Update (11 p.m.): Mafia Wars will be blowing up an armored truck on Thursday, August 19th at 6:00 pm PST.

Update: The 10 million mark has been reached (!), but still no announcement as to when the truck will be blown up. Stay tuned.

We'll soon see if the Mafia Wars marketing team makes good on the promise -- that after 10 million players logged into play Mafia Wars Las Vegas -- they would drive an armored truck into the Nevada desert, pack it full of dynamite and blow it up.

Right now, the player count is less than 100K away from 10 million -- and it took a little over two weeks to hit this target. That means we can expect the big kaboom to happen relatively soon, and, you'll be able watch it all go down on mafiawars.com.

Mafia Wars Masked Robbery Event: Make the 'Executive Decision' to win

In addition to the HDSA event going on this weekend as well as the Silence Don Romo limited-time job, Zynga wants you to live the dream of donning a president's face and smacking the banking system silly with this weekend's Masked Robbery event in Mafia Wars. Much similar to the surprisingly adorable Prized Pigs event, for five days starting this weekend you'll be able to gift and request each mask for your collection: Dubya, Bubba and Rock.

Check behind the cut for a breakdown of what each mask will get you at each level of Mastery as well as how to nab that nasty Grand Prize weapon.

Bubba Mask

    Bronze (3 masks): Electric Ear Armor (33 ATT, 61 DEF)
    Silver (5 masks): Electric Ear Armor (37 ATT, 69 DEF)
    Gold (10 masks): Electric Ear Armor (39 ATT, 74 DEF)



Dubya Mask

    Bronze (3 masks): KAO Rockstar Vehicle (62 ATT 30 DEF)
    Silver (5 masks): KAO Rockstar Vehicle (68 ATT, 33 DEF)
    Gold (10 masks): KAO Rockstar Vehicle (75 ATT, 41 DEF)



Rock Mask

    Bronze (3 masks): Black-Backed Jackal (63 ATT, 31 DEF)
    Silver (5 masks): Black-Backed Jackal (70 ATT, 34 DEF)
    Gold (10 masks): Black-Backed Jackal (76 ATT, 42 DEF)



Just like before, collecting more of each mask will upgrade the item attached to it all the way to Gold Mastery. Collecting all 30 masks will reward you with the Executive Decision, a massive (and kind of frightening) machine gun with 130 ATT and 102 DEF. The first three days of the Masked Robbery event will introduce a new mask with the last two days meant to give you time to catch up. We're just going to go out on a limb and say that we're all going to be extremely busy this weekend.
