Fight Changes: Nerf or Bug?

Sometime last night, players started to notice that when they attacked iced opponents, they didn't get any loot. There are a few discussion threads on the Spockholm Mafia Tools Fan Sites.  I chose to follow and reply on the one titled AttackX Beta v 2.32 because it was started by Martin and it is the latest version. I also checked out the Zynga Forum Boards and found that one player started a discussion thread called No loot dropping from fighting.  Al Catraz, Super Moderator, posted a reply and initially thought it was one players luck of the draw.  I decided to respond with the information that I was aware of from the Spockholm discussion thread.  I couldn't mention the Spockholm site because it's a strict rule of the Zynga Forum Boards that third party scripts are not to be mentioned.  Players who do so get banned.  I was excited that Al Catraz relied to my post and thanked me for the information.  I wonder if he knows I write about him all the time?  Here is the discussion so far.  To following it further, click on the link.

Here is the stamina run I referred to in the post.  I will update this article if there is a definitive answer.  Al Catraz is very good at following through with the discussion threads he participates in.
