UPDATE: Brent Cox of The Official Scammer List has provided me with this update at 11:30 pm Friday, Zynga Time.
"The majority of the trade sites have just rebanded and decided to pull through with the boycott"/Brent Cox
About an hour ago, I took the following image to write an update on the No Play, Click or Trade Event. There were 19,527 people signed up. I noticed the Event was no longer a yield sign so I took this to mean the boycott is 100% back on. I'm awaiting confirmation of this from David Reedy, the Event creator who is currently in discussions. After the Zynga Forum Board Post earlier today, I can imagine this did not make anybody happy.

Not to long ago, I went back to the page and this is what I got. Not cool! They killed the messenger but not the message. I will definitely NOT be playing this weekend. I will keep you updated as soon as I know more.
apparently freedom of speech is dead, thought we would have heard it on the news .....that just sucks!!!
ReplyDeleteSo...this means that Facebook is policing this legitimate action?
ReplyDeleteWe need a place were we can gather for info as FB is no longer possible. A place that EVERYONE will know about.... Twitter? My Space? Etc. etc.?
ReplyDeleteI can't say 100% if Facebook pulled this page as I don't know yet what happened. I have changed to title ut will change it back when I get confirmation. I don't think The Event creators would do this as they have been changing the image and the name as things wee progressing. I also know they would want to keep the page to update those who planned to attend.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I understand Facebook and Zynga have a CONTRACT, that is how Facebook started selling Reward Points.
ReplyDeleteZynga says: "our forums are the best way to get our attention"
ReplyDeletePardon me if I don't believe them.
So pretty much what they are saying is "let us have more time to work on the needs of ourselves to enhance the game, make it harder to play without the use of reward points so you will buy reward points, pay us more money, just to get a "better" experience playing mafia wars"......??? that is how i gathered it
ReplyDeleteLets start using hashtag #mwzyngaboycott and tweet the hell out of it....
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. Will keep checking here to know more about the status of the boycott.
ReplyDeleteWTF ?
