26 August - Collector's Edition Painted Wolf - Second Batch

Visit the Marketplace to get in on today's Collector's Edition Item

The collector's items are usually 35 reward points each, however I believe I heard it said that the Painted Wolf would have skill points attached to it, so the price in reward points will probably be higher. /MD

There are 5,000 up for grabs.

Mafia Wars Live recap(ish)

Today's Ustream broadcast of Mafia Wars Live was the first since Nate left Zynga :(

Ben AKA Don Perogi is the new guy, and was accompanied by Jeff AKA Month, who we've seen before on episodes of Mafia Wars Live. Unfortunately, the broadcast was fraught with issues from start to finish. The sound was choppy and cut in and out, and I quite honestly can't be sure of anything that I DID hear!

• I did hear a bunch of crap about the Power Pack Nerf AKA "Experiment". I hope you'll visit the Get Satisfaction thread about it and tell them what you think if their experiment. 

• They talked about "Facebook Pinning" but I couldn't hear what they said about it.

• The "amazing" sale was mentioned.

• Oh - Jeffrey did confirm that he was the model for Jeff The Knife -- I knew it!! I like him.

• The question about which Collector's Edition items will include skill points is one that I've personally harrassed multiple Zyngons about, so it was quite frustrating to not be able to hear what they were saying about this. Although I'm pretty sure I heard that Friday's item, the Painted Wolf, would include skill points. Word.

Even though I've taken my sweet time about getting this post out, the embed code for this broadcast still hasn't been made available. And I kinda doubt it will be, honestly :D
