There are TWO other ways to use the PvP interface for Mafia....

* You can always use the normal PvP interface at your campground and fight like normal.  You would only use Mafia to search for victims.  The only downside is that you cannot cut&paste the names. Hence you must type them in yourself.  However, now that Mafia supports the full PvP capability, there isn't so much reason to do this.
 
 
'''BOTTOM LINE:''' KoLmafia is a huge improvement to the default PvP system, allowing much greater ability to find foes.
 


B) If you want to steal stuff, simply follow the above steps to search for those of appropriately low rank. Then, pop up the normal PvP interface at your campground and fight like normal. The only downside is that you cannot cut&paste the names. Hence you must type them in yourself. It still is a lot better than only having the default list of similarly ranked foes, right? Or having to manually go looking for victims...er..opponents. :-) I recommend making your Browser window a bit smaller temporarily, then put the Mafia PvP window next to it, and expand the Name column. That way you don't have to go back and forth from Browser to Mafia.
