NOBODY’S FOOL! DO NOT TELL ME I HAVE NO RIGHT TO CRITICIZE!!

Somehow, something just doesn’t seem right about this -

I 100% DISAGREE! AS A PLAYER OF THIS GAME (FREE or PAYING) I HAVE A RIGHT TO MOAN, GROAN, WHINE, GRIPE, BITCH, COMPLAIN, AND ANYTHING ELSE I CHOOSE TO SAY ABOUT THIS GAME!  ….. PERIOD!!! ….. JUST LIKE YOU DO OH GREAT AND POWERFUL AND WONDERFULLY DECEPTIVE MAFIA WARS LOOT LADY!

I BELIEVE 25 TO 45 MILIION FORMER PLAYERS WOULD AGREE WITH ME.

Look, I may not spend tons of cash on this game, but, that DOES NOT mean that I am NOT a customer of Zynga’s. In fact, I AM very much a potential customer of Zynga’s and THAT, alone, GIVES ME THE RIGHT to criticize Zynga, the game of Mafia Wars, the features within it, AND YOU!

It’s so great and wonderful that you and your family have finished in the top 4 of these events 67% of the time and in the top 10 100% of the time. Maybe this is why you don’t want others criticizing these events. You don’t want to lose your unfair advantages that YOU ABUSE!

I am sorry, but, just because you spend more money on this game in a weeks time than some gross from their jobs within an entire month it gives you no more, and them no less, a right to say anything about this game. The lesser fortunate ARE PEOPLE TOO! TREAT THEM WITH THE SAME RESPECT THAT YOU DEMAND OF THEM!

Now, you can let this post piss you off to the point where you feel the need to take it out on my character in the game (that is your M.O. after-all). Or you could take it out on the family I am in (which they have nothing to do with my blog - other than being readers of it). You could chase even more players from the game by keeping them (me/us) iced/dead. But, what would that prove? What would that accomplish?

Now please go back to doing what you are good at – that being inflating your numbers for your blog and game by creating tons of mini (ghost) accounts.

 

 

That was in response to this very post. So, let me get this straight. You now are proclaiming;

“I stated that nobody has a right to criticize and of the top families.”

We agree that you did make that statement. However, you are now defending it by saying;

“This was directed mostly at the comments made on my post about the Sadist Mafia Family and the ones we always see about cheating after these events. Please don't be so vein and think everything is about you!”  ~Jen

Umm, since I have never shied away from being a proponent against the use of scripts and have even written posts about cheating (1) and have openly stood against what the game has become as a result of these abuses, I think that means me and anyone else who has spoke against the cheats. No one is being VAIN at all.

“It was not directed at any family in particular.”

That’s exactly right. It was a blanket statement. Just as my post was speaking in a general point of view of anyone who might wish to criticize these lopsided, UNFAIR events!

“I'm not upset that my family was not in the top 4 and I'm proud of the ices we got.”

Of course you aren’t upset about coming in 4th. We stated that, in so many words. You’ve finished in the top 10 100% of the time. Why would you be upset about it?

The problem is that you (and Zynga both) are too arrogant to see the problem.

All of the comments on your blog, to the point when this screen shot was taken, are all calling out the cheaters.

In your first response to one of your followers you say that

“Zynga rewards all this behaviour so it's obviously not cheating.”

You later respond to another with this comment;

I'm agreeing with most of you here. Take it up with Zynga

We don’t know what you believe. Is it cheating or not, in your eyes?

 

 

The fact that too many players have quit playing as direct result of the scripts is just one of the major problems with the game.

Do the math, please. Only 10 families can win anything in these events. Through 6 of them how many different families have won anything? In theory, there could have been 60 (or up to 6000 players). In reality, there have been less than 20 families (less than 2000 players). These events result the same families winning every time only making them stronger and stronger. Thus, guaranteeing the same families will win them again and again. Further guaranteeing that it is pointless for anyone else to try. For that matter, making it pointless for anyone else to play this game, let alone spend money on it.

All-in-all these events ARE NOT indicative of a FAIR AND LEVEL PLAYING FIELD.
