Alphabetical Friends am I missing out?????

I'm an N and I had 3 random invaders during the night, but I had maybe 6 revenge attacks. I'm spreading nerds far and wide, hoping they induce responses, because waiting for random attacks doesn't look like a great way to earn elixir/coins.

This should not be am issue. The random thing is random.

But honestly, i like scrolling in reverse through towns, starting with Other SF and going back, because i can hit the "go left" button easier than the "go right" with my left finger on my tablet.

I think you can add a number to the front of your name if you want to move to the front of the list.

Or am I missing something here, I just don't seem to have many of my buildings attacked.
Are xyz's being discriminated against????
EA please sort it out!!!

Not from me ??
Sometimes I start at the end of my friends list and work back ?

I do this too! I switch which end of the alphabet I start at every other time!

For now I attack my favourite forum players (independent of their names), the ones that I kind of know virtually, that's just how it is....and of course I revenge as well!

Ditto. Though I never have enough nerds to get everyone... :x

You could be missing out from your friends but I have noticed I haven't gotten as many attacks today as I did yesterday.

Also want to note that most of the time I visit my friends backwards starting z after visiting "other springfield". I do this because my game often crashes while visiting friends so I always make it as far as I can starting from Z then if it closes and I have to start over I will start at A, saving me time of needing to scroll through pages of friends to pick up where I left off.

I know there are people that keep track of the friends that visit them - so if you are inclined to do so you could just start replacing the friends that never visit you with new friends... It takes time but if it bugs you that's something to think about.

I usually go backwards when I visit friends because hitting the back button on top left corner of the screen is easier then hitting the next button on an iPad. So my neighbors end up being luckier if their names start with Z.

With that said I'll always give forum members priority if I have limited amount event objectives to do.

I guess it'll really come down to what kind of neighbors you have. It's like they say, "choose your neighbors wisely." And with this game it couldn't be truer. :lol:

don't attack your friends! The event rewards you for attacking random players
