We are knee deep in the ice season which is a great opportunity to gain some of the new fight loot and tally some arena fake ices. Fake Ices, those achieved through the arena have become a problem for long time players. Since now, Zynga merged them with Regular Fighting Ices. This has caused some […]

An exciting week in Mafia Wars. Mike Nestor gets his MIG Mafia Wars tattoo in game, tied to Boss Gouda. Zynga releases several days of fighting in the arena without fear. This has players really enjoying the arena. Our guest Brandon, has a little different view on permanent 0 lost respect time periods. The SPOCK […]

With Super Bowl Weekend upon us we could not help chatting about it for a bit. Which lead into interesting conversation about Sports Books, and the potential for a MW Book for the IceBoard Event.  It was a nice turn of events to have something extremely positive to say about the Arena, no losing respect […]

Once again long time players are leaving the game. We say goodbye to The Swede and Alan Potter to name a couple. Like all before, you will be missed. We struggle to grasp what is the Zynga motivation. If it is truly greed. There would have been better ways to get more money from a […]

As usual Arena talk including different strategies being used to master the family event. The Informant Podcast Crew and players would really like for Zynga to do three simple things. 1.

After a 2 week break the gang is back to let out all of their rants. The Arena is driving players crazy and is the main focus of the show. Mafia Wars can interfere with real life and Pistol Pete ends up in the dog house. Discussions turn to a shrinking player base and it’s […]

The gang is back…only because the world didn’t end. Pete tells the Mayans to suck it and talk immediately goes to Christmas. Once the pleasantries are out of the way, the ranting about the Arena begins. The third Family Ice Event came and went and the Arena had a big impact on the number of […]

Pistol Pete gets to meet Steve Wozniak (the Woz) co-founder of Apple at a recent Users Group Meeting. More and more frustration is present over event fatigue. Players just do not understand and some are just leaving. Features we like and enjoy end up being butchered by Zynga. Take for example the Robbing Spree changes, […]
