    Where did you look them up?

    In game you can only look up farmers on your server. So if you used the search from the game window and they are on a different they don't exist on your server and the message is correct.

    You can Friend anyone through the forum, regardless of server

    Also the search is not very bright so use copy and paste to avoid typos

    Also, the forum sometimes adds an extra number to their name under which they are not known in the in-game rankings. In that case, leave out the last number when you type in the name in the rankings. Did you get the friend request on the forums? When you click on their name and then on about on their profile, does it say @ US1 or something else? If it is something else you cannot find them in-game, like Samty said, because they are not on your server. You can be friends with them in the forums though.

    Yes, that is a forum friend request. Click their name and you can visit their profile. There it says on which server they are when you click on the about tab. Which server does it say? Or maybe you can write the name of the person in a message to me so I can look for you :)

    I've just been ignoring friend requests because I don't know what the purpose of them is. But after reading this thread, I looked at mine and I have a friend request from someone who has never posted in the forum and has no server anywhere that I can see. So I guess it's not the same person that jewelzgirl got the friend request from. I can't think why s/he would be longing to befriend me! 8|

    I get those all the time. They read one of your posts, think it is awesome, click on your name, see the line: send friend request and click on it in all excitement :P I also have people click the contact me in my signature in all excitement and just send me a hi. I had one send me a message that was titled: do you want to know a secret? The message said: hey I am xxx, who are you, do you want to know a secret? Okay tell you later. Errrm yeah, no actually *deletes message* :P

    Oh, so that's what happened! I noticed a few times I'd do a search for a person's name and that person would not show up in the rankings, even though I was on the right server. But you should know that the search function will spaz sometimes. I copy/pasted a name into the search and the player wasn't found. Asked for confirmation of the player's name and got the exact same name, numbers and all, and tried the search again. That time the person was found. I think it's glitchy.

    You should also watch out for accidentally copy/pasting a space into the search bar after the person's name. If there's a space at the end, the person's name won't be found. It seems stupid, but Larino did say the search function wasn't bright.

    Pingo, likely the person friending you is used to places like Facebook or whatever where you send friend requests to anyone you like, whether you talk to them or not. I have the same problem on another site where people are misappropriating the 'follow' feature as a friend request feature. Following means you get a notice any time the person posts a new story. If you're not reading their stories, there's no point in getting the alert. But people do it anyway.

    Larino, that secret thing is creepy. I actually had someone do that to me once. I was told by others that it was just a troll.

    Troll or not, I would not want to now a secret from a random stranger, even though it was just a 'nice' secret. Like, something totally irrelevant but still funny. For example that that person has 2M dollars or so :P Why would I want to know anything at all about a random stranger btw XD

    Some people think it's a quick way to create a bond between people. Obviously they don't realize all it does is freak people out and make them run away or bore them and make them wonder why they spend the energy reading that.
