I am a Farmville Addict.
Hi, my name is Quantess....

Today, I added 2 friends who had nothing in common with me, except our shared addiction to Farmville. No wait, they added me, because I asked them first.

But then I saw that they had just added 8 people to their friend list, and the other person just added 14 "friends".

When I clicked on their "mystery egg" bonus, just 3 minutes after it was published, all the eggs were already gone. Same story with the other Farmville "friend".

And to think, I just started playing a week ago.

1. LOL!
I had to hide all the game notices. They were driving me crazy and I was missing when someone wrote a real status update.

Having said that, I'm addicted to Bejeweled Blitz!

:+

Enjoy!

2. A really old friend contacted me just 2 or 3 days ago on facebook
and I sent him a message to let him know that you can hide apps and games by just moving the cursor on the message toward the right until you see "HIDE". (And then you click on that, and...)

I didn't want to be be his first annoying person on facebook. Not for a good reason, at least! :D

3. LOL I'm addicted too. Watch out for friends who have Gamers Unite or
a zillion other friends. You'll never get anything that way.

5. I'm probably going to kick my Mafia Wars habit soon
And, probably de-friend most of the people I added solely to have a bigger mafia. I've already slowed down my gift exchanging because it became such a time-suck.

But, I understand where you are coming from.

13. I kicked my Mafia Wars habit last night
I managed to get to level 305, but it got to the point where every other don in the fight page had 501 members and I had just 108. So i was getting destroyed almost constantly. I masterd most of the new york and Cuban stages, not much else to do. So I removed it from my apps and hide any mafia wars posts. Going well so far, staying away from Mafia Wars.

7. Do you think some day you'll look back & regret the time you spent playing FB games?
This is a serious question.

I already regret some of the time I wasted on DU.

14. You can do that with any video game or hobby
Do you regret how much time you spent on World of Warcraft or whatever other game is popular, or using your PS2 or PS3 or Wii or whatever video game is "hot" at the time

16. I'm hooked on Farmville too.
I went so far as the buy a game card at a local 7-11 so I could
finish my horse stable!

My friends kept sending me mystery eggs, not building materials.

What a hell of an addiction to have~

:)

21. You can
check it out on farmville.com. That's easier than me trying to condense it without rambling and going off on tangents. :)

20. My wife and her best friend
have been addicted to it for a few months now. I don't know how many times I have overheard then on the phone talking about it. The just started playing another game called Frontier Ville a few days ago. I think they are starting to get addicted to that one too.

22. Try FrontierVille
It's Zynga's newer updated version of FarmVille with better graphics and a (kind of) plot.

PM me if you want to be neighbors. :hi:
