Hello There Clammers!
How are my favorite mobsters doing today? Everyone working on racking up as much Mob Rep as you can? (amidst all the crashes..which hopefully will be ending VERY soon) So as we finish out week 2, everyone should be earning Mob Rep at a decent rate. So whatcha gonna do with all that Mob Rep you’re collecting? Unlock really cool prizes of course!
While we’ve taken break in recent events from the prize chart, it’s nice to see TinyCo going back to it for the Mobster Event! Of course it’ll take some work to unlock all of the prizes, but hey you have a month to do it! So let’s take a look at the second “real” prize of the Mob Event…the Chainsaw Henchman…
There are a total of 10 Mob Rep Prizes ranging in cost from 100 
up to 17,500 . The Chainsaw Henchman is actually the 6th prize awarded, and you’ll earn it once you reach 7,500 . We’ve broken down prizes 1 through 4 on our Gondola Ride post here, so before we break down the Chainsaw Henchman, let’s take a look at the fifth prize awarded…
25 Clams is the fifth prize awarded at 5000 . Who doesn’t love free clams?! I think y’all know what to do with these guys! Always a nice prize to win!
So now that we’ve given you the basics of the fifth prize…let’s talk about that sixth prize. The second “real” prize for the event…the Chainsaw Henchman. Not quite sure on this one..feels more like a Jason movie than a Mob Movie. But nonetheless every god mob needs a henchman, so now you’ll have one…chainsaw and all!
Prize: Chainsaw Henchman
Unlock Point: 6th Prize unlocked at 7,500
Size: Requires a 3×3 square to place.
Does it Do Anything?: This is one of those stationary NPCs. It’s always animated, chainsaw is running and every so often he’ll swipe it down like he’s going after you.
Personal Thought: Meh. I’m never really a fan of these Stationary NPCs (or NPCs in general for that matter). For me, this one will probably end up in my inventory permanently.
Remember:
When unlocking the prizes you’ll have to claim them from the prize group in order to get them in your Quahog. Once you’ve earned enough to unlock the prize you’ll see this popup:
You’ll still have to go to the individual prize page and tap “Claim” in order to get it in your town (this goes for the Cookies and Clams too…if you don’t tap claim you won’t see them).
And that my friends covers the details behind this Chainsaw wielding Henchman…
What are your thoughts on the Henchman? How about the clam prize? How much Mob Rep have you earned so far? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!

I got this prize yesterday and made the mistake of taking it out of inventory to check it out. I didn’t plan on keeping it around but now it says it’s too important to put away like the brewery. So I guess I have a chainsaw guy now, but I put him with the workers next to the square of land by the fine arts district. He looks really eager to help with some land clearing 🙂

I, like many others, am having issues with the tuba’s. I have a few more golf balls to go but still need 13 tuba’s…back to the grind it seems.
I have spent a few clams during this event and due to a slight logistical problem (left my tablet at work 😛 ) I had to have an involuntary 14 hour break…this cost me 21000 places on the leaderboard. From 8000th (ish) to 29000th (ish)…that hurt! So, you just have to keep grinding it out I guess.

Received the following from TinyCo regarding Tuba drops…
“We checked the drop rates for Tubas and they are functioning correctly for uncommon rarity, but we’re taking a close look to make sure that players are where WE WANT THEM TO BE progression-wise. While we can’t promise anything right now we are looking at the Tuba situation.”

I’m getting uncommon drops as part of the normal game story, it’s about 90% success rate, but at 12+ gurl scouts and only 2 tubas that’s less than 90%
LikeLike
I think the problem is, that if they wanted industrious freemium players to be able to have enough Tubas to unlock Jr. by the time the next mansion level drops, (or a little thereafter, so that Premium players can buy the advantage of spamming the Casino), then they should have made the Tubas a Common drop. Without spending Clams, the most Masks you can get in a day is 19 (3 every 4 hours for the two buildings and Bonnie, and one a day…eventually…from Diabeto), meaning even if it were an Always drop, it would still take two days to get the 20 Tubas needed, and that’s if you completely ignore the Casino, seeing as that requires 18 Luchadores you can’t use to farm Scouts.
As it is, I’ve been playing pretty regularly, at least approaching that 19 a day theoretical maximum (probably more like 16, since I usually miss a round of Mask grabbing to sleep), and I only have four Tubas to show for it. A reasonable drop rate would be getting *at least* that a day.

Sent this to TC along with a list of complaints, but maybe better if it came from more people.. how about if instead of updating the leaderboards “live” with your personal tally, they just stay static and update once daily? What’s the point of my position being constantly updated and incorrect when I never even have a snapshot of where I actually am (unless I check exactly at 4PM)?
Otherwise, I’ll celebrate getting my very first freaking tuba, and add it to the pile of things completely wrong with this entire event.

I just got the 25 clams, which is a real enough prize to me… Not so keen on the others remaining except Consuela if I should be so lucky. I’m not spending clams on this event and didn’t have enough time for the 24 hour challenge. Chainsaw wielding criminals don’t really attract me. Wish we could trade such things for a few clams!

I think “meh” pretty much sums up how I feel about the henchman, as well. It would be nice if there was an option to accept or reject offered prizes. I sure would not have a shielded petercraft if that option was available! It would also be nice if there was an option to discard items out of your inventory, since the only current way is to sell them, and that option is not available for all items. *chuckle*

I have posted several times about the fedora hats not registering for the most part, therefore making the count in accurate.

My hats are not registering as they supposed to. I followed all the steps from the visual points and clarifications, have taken screen shots before and after I collect from the buildings, characters, raids, etc that give hats and no accurate count after being collected has been made. I’m getting more than frustrated now because it seems that no progress is being made. Please help on this issue! Thank you

Not so keen on the still NPC either. I’m with you on that one.

In the individual prize list, the info on Kingpin Consuela is:

??? Is she a building or what??? Are we sure she’s a playable character along with the outfit? Or is this just a glitch with the info? I don’t remember seeing this in the info before but haven’t checked in a while.

It’s just a placeholder for info. Past Characters did same. Like Captain Kirk. He showed Building payouts. Just placeholders nothing more

As if all the other glitches weren’t enough, now my mob rep isn’t calculating properly. Only about 75% of my fedoras seem to be counting. I was really trying to be patient before that started happening but now it kind of defeats the purpose of this challenge when the one thing you need to stay on the boards is not working. Sigh. I have messaged them twice but of course no responses yet. They seriously need new programmers. I will never spend another dime on this game again. My hubby and I are daily players but I think that will be changing now. Too bad cuz we enjoyed it before now. Even stuck it through the Star Trek event, This one seems to top the cake with problems though.

Is the leaderboard working? According to mine, I’ve ranked up to around the 11,000’s today; however, I’ve also noticed that no-one else seems to be moving, as the rank 10,000 point has been stuck at 4,108 mob rep for approaching two days now, and the top ranked player hasn’t increased at all in the same period of time. I’d like to think I’m on track to get Don Corleone, but if I’m going to drop tens of thousands of places at random points, then how do we know what we’re actually likely to get?

You have to wait for it to update. Remember… you are in YOUR game, so it can see your stats immediately. In order to see the OTHER Millions of Players, that has to be compiled and updated into the Global network Ranks. That is only done like once a day. So look up top and see when it last was updated.

It isn’t as cut and dry here as it is there, so that is REALLY difficult. New things are added weekly and sometimes within that week too. Trying to come up with something helpful for this game, my first concern is all the players back in the game fully. But some tips are coming. 🙂

Don’t know about a calendar, but now that I’ve completed the Casino and don’t need to worry as much about farming Purple Trucks for quest progression, I’ve found that since you can get 3 Masks every 4 hours thanks to the two buildings and Bonnie, and thus every time I farm those three, I start 3 Luchadores (3hr) and 2 Goons (1hr). That way I can take out 3 Girl Scouts every 8 hours, and farm Purple Trucks for Cookies as well. I could alternately build up my Goons and drop a Gold Truck every 6 I can gather, (and indeed once a day I do hire a lot of extra Goons before I go to sleep, so I can pick up some Gloves as soon as I wake up or soon after) but the Fedora rate for Gurl Scouts is abysmal. 10 a pop every 2 or 3 hours, after spending 2 Masks each time, versus 5 a pop every half hour for a net -10 Cookies.
