some thoughts on Secret Stashes

by Feature Contributor Nick Greig

Despite the fact that yes, these things are still amazingly glitched (thanks Zynga), I would suggest that it is always worth trying to open them, as the loot could potentially be well worth it. Stuff like Golden Poison Frogs, Toxic Gas Scrubbers and Tainted Blades, for just 2 clicks? Yes please!

 Here are my thoughts on things worth bearing in mind when both posting and opening them though ;)

You can only claim 10 per day, so don't post more than 10 to the same person in 24 hours. I woke up to 9 from the same person on the day I wrote this note. It's all good, but it means only 1 other person can get stash loot from me on that day. Personally, I try and spread the Mafia love and limit myself to one stash post per person per day.

When you click on the "Tell your friends about it", that reply goes into the feed, not to the original posters wall. Odds are they'll never see it, unless they happen across it on YOUR wall. Strangely, just replying to the post doesn't always give you a notification either. What you should do, to cut down on the number of feed posts (like we don't have enough with the spam events!) is:

• Hold down the CTRL key when clicking on "Open Secret Reward", so it opens in a new tab (you can use this for any other link as well)
• Collect (or not, if Zynga decided to glitch it) and copy the text by highlighting it and using Ctrl+C.
• Go back to the stash post in the first tab, and "Like" it. This will trigger a notification.
• Paste the text into a reply, so the other person knows what you both got.
• Ideally, the other person will "like" the reply, and the post can be removed. Less clutter ftw!

One less post in the feed and they know you opened it ;) Feel free to share with your Mafia, this note can be viewed by everyone.
