Mafia Trivia PT. 1
In November 2007 Sicilian police reported to have found a
list of "Ten Commandments" in the hideout of mafia boss
Salvatore Lo Piccolo. Similar to the Biblical Ten Commandments,
they are thought to be a guideline on how to be a good,
respectful honorable mafioso. It's funny that the Mafia
would have any kind of morals, but when it comes to family
relationships, it's no secret that those are still considered
sacred.
The Mafia's Ten Commandments are as follows:
1. No one can present himself directly to another of our
friends. There must be a third person to do it.
2. Never look at the wives of friends.
3. Never be seen with cops.
4. Don't go to pubs and clubs.
5. Always being available for Cosa Nostra is a duty - even
if your wife is about to give birth.
6. Appointments must absolutely be respected.
7. Wives must be treated with respect.
8. When asked for any information, the answer must be the truth.
9. Money cannot be appropriated if it belongs to others or
to other families.
10. People who can't be part of Cosa Nostra: anyone who has
a close relative in the police, anyone with a two-timing
relative in the family, anyone who behaves badly and doesn't
hold to moral values.

Mafia Trivia PT. 2
The game Mafia Wars is a fun and almost addictive game, it'sby far my favorite game to play online. The idea is violent
conflict between criminal organizations, but what about the
real mafia wars in the 20th century?
The First Mafia War was the first high-profile conflict
between Mafia clans in post-war Italy (the Sicilian Mafia has
a long history of violent rivalries).
In December 1962 some heroin went missing from a shipment to
America. When the Sicilian Mafia Commission could not decide
who was to blame, one of the clans involved - the La Barbera
clan - took matters into its own hands. They murdered a mafioso
from the Greco clan whom they suspected of stealing the heroin,
triggering a war in which many non-mafiosi would be killed in
the crossfire.
In April 1963, several bystanders were wounded during a shootout
in Palermo. In May, Angelo La Barbera survived a murder attempt
in Milan. In June, six military officers and a policeman in
Ciaculli were killed while trying to dispose of a car bomb.
The fact that the conflict spread outside Sicily and claimed
innocent lives provoked national outrage and a crackdown in
which nearly 2,000 arrests were made. Mafia activity fell as
clans disbanded and mafiosi went into hiding. 117 suspects
were put on trial in 1968, but most were acquitted or
received light sentences.
Our online gaming is, of course, not meant to be disrespectful
to people who lost their lives due to organized crime, but
it's impossible to deny that there is something attractive to
the 'mafioso' lifestyle.
