Clarification on ice counts

There's been some question today, brought to light by the new icing event, that seemed to indicate that kills (or 'whacks' if you're looking at your Mafia Wars profile page), are also counting as ices.

Supermoderator Cerulean Master made a post on the forums a short while ago that should help clarify. According to him, kills ARE now counted as an ice, but will count as two ices -- and also makes a blatant suggestion that this hints at future fight changes. We already know fight changes are imminent.

He also indicates that feedback on the event is wanted ~ constructively of course, I would imagine.

Additionally, CM addresses the infamous slow rollout, saying that it's still being worked on. He wants to know if anyone does NOT have the Ice Mastery Challenge in their game by Monday.

Cerulean, I'm hoping I don't have to wait til Monday for this event, or it's not just you that's going to be hearing from me ;)

Cerulean says:

Kills are counting as an Ice, but it is set to count as two. We know that kills are harder to get and usually there is only a one line message once you achieve one. This was our first step at making them worth more than an Ice. <---- Hint to the future?

If you do not have the event yet, please do not worry. The team is working on getting it out to everyone. If we still have players missing when I return Monday, getting an update will be my first priority... after that, I'll be looking for the extension thread, lol.

This event was put out there with your feedback in mind, so enjoy it. Hopefully the positive reactions can cause these to happen more often.

Thanks Jennifer for the heads up :0)
