The Meat Shield

I’m tired of being everyone’s meat shield in Mafia Wars. All these people that ask me to be in their mafia just so they can let me take a bullet for them during a fight. Every time I log on I have a message that says something like, “You participated in Don Somebody’s capo when he attacked Don Ubergod. You didn’t make it. In fact, you had such a poor showing during the fight that we have decided to penalize you $500,000 and 250,000 experience points. We’re not sure how somebody can be killed six times during the same fight, but somehow you managed it. While we’re impressed by this feat, we still think you might want to consider giving up on this game. It’s not for everybody. And when we say everybody, we basically mean you.”
