This warns you when you are about to enter a zone which would use a ten-leaf clover. As a noob, I've wasted many clovers in this way before Mafia came along. It also turns all 10-leaf clovers into Disassembled ones whenever you acquire them... in case you were wondering where your clovers went. :-)
	# I recommend allowing mafia to buy from NPC stores. This gives you a lot more flexibility when creating drinks and food since Mafia will know that they can buy fruits and other components from the NPC as necessary.		# I recommend allowing mafia to buy from NPC stores. This gives you a lot more flexibility when creating drinks and food since Mafia will know that they can buy fruits and other components from the NPC as necessary. This generally occurs when you are making food&booze where you already have a good amount of control.
	# I would keep Buy from the Mall turned off. You MIGHT want to turn this on for short periods, such as when creating a bartender/chef in a box. Note that Mafia will never buy anything worth more than 20,000 meat which provides a safety feature.		# I would keep Buy from the Mall turned off. You MIGHT want to turn this on for short periods, such as when creating a bartender/chef in a box. That is a lot easier than assembling it yourself or trying to figure out which pieces you are missing. Note that Mafia will never buy anything worth more than 20,000 meat which provides a safety feature.

	# Under the Browser tab, do NOT check the wiki option, as every item you click will pop up a full page wiki entry, constrained to a tiny 4 inch item display. Not cool.

Not cool. You can use the right-click menu of your account options to look-up stuff anyways. Or use the Mafia inventory manager to easily right-click to pop up a wiki page.
	# You should check to enable user-scripted relay browser overrides.

This sounds tricky and does absolutely nothing right now. However, 3 months from now you will try to use some cool script and it won't work. You won't know that it has to override some of the relay browser defaults and that it is utterly hozed because this obscure little box is not checked... not that it has happened to me or anything... ;-)

	# Under 'Main Tabs', you can actually customize which Mafia functions appear. If you dragged Item Manager for example from the Complete List to the Startup in Tabs, then it would be accessible as a Tab instead of you having to specifically pull it up.
