the mafia member that you appoint to wheelman must be the "fearless" character type.
A maniac is a character type in mafia wars. The benefit of this character type is that it regenerates the ability to do jobs at a faster rate. So, whereas it would take a fearless character (another character type) 5 minutes to generate 1 energy point, it would only take a maniac 4 minutes to generate 1 energy point.
It is because the player you are trying to promote is not the correct character type. For example a wheelman must be a fearless character and bagman must be a mogul.
no I tried to change but I became a maniac even though I chose mogul
Mafia Wars is a multiplayer browser game created by Zynga.
No you only have the option to change your name using twenty reward points. The godfater doesn't offer a character type change.
It is because you have to have a special character type of fearless for a wheelman and maniac for a button man and if you are trying to put the wrong character type in it will say it is unavailable.
you need to collect at least 15 reward points and then go to the godfather > the godfather offers you a new game

From among you Mafia members choose a member with the Maniac character type and a high level to promote to Button Man to get an Attack bonus. Your Button Man gains a small chance to always win fights they initiate. You can set the Button Man by using "Top Mafia (Edit)" right at the bottom of "Home" tab in Mafia Wars. You can also set him from "+View My Mafia" at the bottom of the "My Mafia" tab.
You can change your character type in the "marketplace" as they call it now. It'll cost you some godfather points though, so make sure it's really worth it.
