Factoids
"Q: How do Operations trigger? A: These can randomly trigger while doing regular jobs

Q: How do Operations work? A: There are two roles - Initiator and Helper.
 * Once an Operation triggers, as an Initiator, you can post a feed requesting help, or send specific requests for help from your Mafia. Only your Mafia can help.
 * There are various Helper positions that need to be filled, and each may have different requirements that are geared for different types of players.
 * An Operation timer will start. Your Operation must be finished within this time to collect its reward.
 * In order to complete your Operation, each of the Helpers must complete their assigned job.
 * Helpers will receive a combination of experience points, cash, or Loyalty points for completing a job.
 * Note: Loyalty Points will not be rewarded at this time in Operations.


 * If you have a slower than desired Helper, you can remove them to have another Mafia member fill that slot.
 * Once all jobs are complete, the Initiator has to 'finish' the Operation for it to be a success.
 * Initiators will receive a combination of experience points, cash, or special loot for a successful Operation.
 * Helpers will receive a combination of loot, consumables, or loyalty points for a successful Operation.
 * These rewards must be collected promptly, or they will expire.

Q: How many Operations can I initiate? A: Up to 10

Q: How many Operations can I help in? A: Up to 10

Q: Can I help an Initiator on more than one of his/her Operations? A: Yes

Q: What happens if the timer expires before the Operation is complete? A: Nobody gets the reward for an incomplete Operation. Everybody has to do their required role. All Helpers must complete their jobs. The Initiator may restart the Operation."
