I remember there has been discussion about having friend in game.
BUT NOT LIKE THIS X(
But within this "Inviting Friends" feature I believe some conditions/rules have a strong manipulative and slightly stalkerish smell over it, and could cause unwanted frictions within the friendship(s). This new feature in the game feels like manipulation ... many conditions/rules feel like being a big stick to keep us on the right track. Friends might get annoyed with each other when one is not often enough online to the likes of the other, etc., etc.
I completely agree with Raven:
Please change this. As a level 100+ I would be so open and happy to mentor starting members, hook me up with some and maybe they'll stick around, but I am definitely not inviting my friends.
I'm very afraid that you're right in that thinking
- And I will not be surprised if GGS totaly ignores all our complaints and arguments against this "spam your friends" thing, and don't even offer us any answers on our complaints.
That's also a very good argument against this "friends" thing.
- many coops require some minimum activity from there members, and before I came into the coops I'm in now, I have try be in coops where was very active members who are annoyed with low active members.
Well spoken Jiesta
Lots of players alredy have give me that reward I feel I best like to have, by saying "thank you", and thousands of visits at my danish helpsite also tells me that my work there not have been waste of time.
But: When now GGS by themselves put their hands into a wasp nest with this unfair "friends" thing, it can not surprise anybody (unless maybe GGS), that a lot of us who have done a lot of free help-working, and players who before this "friends" thing have get new players to the game, feels us betrayed, and we are get angry for that many of us not can get any benefits as e.g. upgrading the airport with benefits for tempoary farms.
Managed to get 1 player to join as a friend, looked her up and went to send a message.. but its not possible. ha ha ha what a way to treat a friend, so now back to e mails until she levels up more. Oh ggs you do provide us with some laughs !
Thank you!
Absolutely correct. Friend list is not here yet based on the anouncement.
So probably nobody can see more then one friend yet?
Seems like mods should come out of hiding and start explaining.
If I were a mod, I wouldn't want to argue with a bunch of complaining players who don't understand the update and think it's bad. Just my personal opinion. But the Mods do read this thread, and have been reading it.
Not liking the friends thing either, hate cold callers at my door, annoying sales phone calls and spam emails.
Shame really, apart from this, the game has been pretty good. Although I shall not be leaving I just shall ignore it unless it starts to affect the game play. Not seeing much of a difference as such apart from being billy no mates in my farm game at the top of my screen and a few missed goodies, I can live with that so far.
Well, thank goodness you are not a mod ...............8)

yeah... good thing for that...
Definately keeping the Mods busy this weekend!
I will be happy when the CM's get back on duty.
Dare I ask for support to get caught up as well????
Nah...That will never happen.
Anyhow, if they want to keep the friends thing in it is not so bad, it could work for them if they keep it minimal and not make it a necessary feature to complete missions and events.
s/he calls is spam, then it isn't spam. isn't the definition of spam bothering people randomly?
My email friends would be getting on my junk list real fast if they started sending me links to game so there is no way I would do that to them.
I do not like sales calls or pop up stuff on the PC and most feel that way. That is why pop up blockers, anti junk mail, and spam are so popular.
If someone wants to play a game they will go looking for. I will not be one who ticks off my family and friends to try to sell your product.
Here you can read the Wikipedia definiton of spamming: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spamming
In my eyes, Graycat have spammed you.
If he has spammed me, I'll report him!
so basically you want me to spam my all my friends, and then I can only play with them until they reach level 41 or accidentaly, like I did, unlock the flower farm. God forbid they take a 2 week vacation or suddenly has a busy moment in their lives!!!! Geesh!!! The least you could do is make it so that your friend is playing with you indefinately, without the stipulations. Suggestion: Take some of that hard earned money people spend on coins and do your own advertising!!!!! X(
Wow wait a second here! I did indeed get that deco, but not for my hard forum work or website! I got it for the forum event, in which everybody had an equal chance to win that deco and many with me did get it for that. I simply participated in all tasks and did okay in it (not extraordinarily well, just okay) and had enough points to win it. I never got any tangible reward for what I did, I even sometimes got punished for it, but I will let those feelings to rest now. All the rewards I got were the nice words from all you players and yes, also some from the Community Managers, thank you for that.
Here you can see how and when I won it:

There is deffinitelly something wrong with inviting. The player from AU1 was so kind to use my link (even if he new that my logging to AU did not work properly). This time the bond was created and he earned me 5 pennies, for witch I am greatly thankfull. Nevertheless, the task on the task bar (one with carma points) is still there. He also told me, that he had the same swamp friendship deal with someone from US. Again the frendship link was formed only in one direction:
So to sum up, this is what happened. We have following players:
- player A on US1
- player B on AU1
- player C on WWW1 (me)
- player D on EN1.
Players C and D swap friendships, no bound was formed. (not on www1 and not on en1). The wrong server was preselected and the right server was selected manualy. Same usernames are used both times
Players A and B swap friendships. The bond was formed on US1, but not on AU1.
Players C and B swam friendships. The bond was formed on WWW1, but not on AU1. This time I (player C) used different username and made sure that the right server was preselected but bond failed again.
I am using firefox on ubuntu if that is of any help.
So Nafaru and Latten, can you please, please look into this. I now you are busy but as I found out trough this forum, thinks usually get solved really quickly when you get involved. Thank you for that.
About the spamming thing: I agree with the majority. I love this game because of its un- aggresivness in advertising and did not like this last turn of events. I kind of unerstand Graycat, though. She is young (as I could understand from another thread). The new "facebook generation" is more used to spamming. They are spammed on every step and are spamming back and learned to live with it (as we learned to live with commercials on TV breaking movie just at the right moment ). I do not support her behavior, I just say I understand her. But as Dara said, I do not thing it will go away. As Nafaru said, it was probably not ment for spamming at first, but some players will spamm (we already had an example of it ) and in my opinion make more damage than success. Hope GGS will understand that we like the game because it is different in this way from the rest.
The swamp-friend programe is my way of rebelion against it anyway . If it would work properly
My friendship worked well. I mean that i created an account in EN and both sides are working well. I just don't have too much time to play, so my friend has to wait pennies... sorry about that.
No, i did not asked my friend to create an account in SKn, because i already had a task don. My sister joined in game. So i don't know if it had worked that way.
Only one thing is not good in my situation, my sister don't like this game, so she
asked to delete her account. So, i'm going to be without a friend, but no matter, i had a task done. ;);)
Anyway, i hope you will have that problem solved. I did not have any problems with it.
P.S.
Would you like to try skn, aaabbb ? Just try if it works ? I don't need a friend playing all day long, no need for that. I myself don't have too much time to play, like i said.
LMAO ... aaabbb1 you do the best typos ever, I love this one (more than the fig hehe)
OMG!! Very interesting information Larino! Very interesting indeed!
THX for sharing this with us! :thumbup:
I would not mind swamp-friend (It came from the muddy depths of river Aire to play big farm. It ate all the animals and carried workers back to its lair) Thats a good friend LMAO
Oh, checking back on the date credited, this is actually true.
However, you were put on our list of helping hands to receive a decoration. We are trying our best to avoid hoarding of this unique deco, though, so we didn't credit it in the end since you already had it.
It's about time we renew the list, though. There are a lot of very valuable posters and helping hands on this forum that we would like to thank rather sooner than later.
I'll start with giving another public thank-you to you and your cooperative now. The rest will follow.
I'll create a copy of this post in the technical problems section so we can ask a couple of questions, okay aaabbb1?
Thanks for taking the time to write this all up.
Good thing we have no plans to stop your progress altogether if you decide to ignore this feature then, right gio110?
It's all optional.
Regards,
Steffi
