I don't think that strategy is a good way to figure out who is doing it. You could be deleting a perfectly innocent person who just didn't visit?A lot of the people on my list don't visit every day, so it would be silly to assume that they are showing up and unhaunting my houses.I hate to say it, because this seems very serious for some people, but why not just let it go? There is plenty of goo to go around and a few goo isn't going to make or break the event for you. And sometimes it IS an accident. I just did it recently when trying to tap a ghost near a building. People are going to keep doing it for innocent reasons and for not innocent reasons. It's the way the game is played. EDIT:I'm also curious how people are sure they are being double haunted. If you go into your SF and a house isn't haunted, how are you sure it wasn't ever haunted? is it because you tap other houses and only see a friends name once or twice? I mean, that could happen if you tap more than 5 ghosts and go into the negative. When I do that it only lets me have 2 actions to tap on a building.

Dont be so quick to remove people who "arent visiting my springfield"..Its possible Friend X did visit your springfield and haunt buildings, but then Friend Y came along and double haunted, making you think Friend X and Friend Y are stealing Goo, but really its only Friend Y.

I'd hate to think one of my friends has deleted me because they think I may have done that. I've done it on accident while swiping the screen to find a house, who hasn't, but I've always left extra gremlins after, but I always try to haunt on squidport since it seems no one goes there. I will also go back to that town later if I wasn't able to leave any gremlins the first time either because I was out or their town was full.

I've had friends who have had only two tappable houses in their town at the time and because I want the GOO and want them to also get GOO, I won't double haunt them, I will just go back in later and collect from the final house. I actually have one right now who must not have checked their town in a couple of days because when I went in, every house was haunted and double haunted (no ghosts flying over any of them) and even the cash houses were gone. I collected my five ghosts and will check the town later. If anything, I will just try to get KL tickets. IMO, it's just too hard to tell who is doing it.

I do that to the house farmers on purpose. Everyone else I don't unless its by mistake

Any Good Ideas On How To Know Which 'FRENEMY" Is Stealing Goo In Our Town?

To clarify, on the matter. I have been keeping track of who has gained at least 1000+ goo a day, and have not visited and no left any haunted buildings.

Also, I play all day, and night. I have an ipad 3 and I am informed when anyone visits my town. When someone visitis and I immediately go to the town and they have not left any haunted buildings, but someone else has 1 then obviously they have been taking my goo. Mind you, I know people click on accident, but many friends go to the far areas of my town, and these 'thieves' are seeking out haunted buildings.

I am older female, (probably as old as many of the players mothers or even grandmothers),with business and marketing degrees, I am no dummy. I have been referred to as female version of Spock much of my life. I am not a willy-nilly, maybe type person. Trust me.

Lastly, I have only deleted 2 people thus far, am certain these 2 are thieving. There are 9 others on my list, and as soon as am certain they are stealing my goo, they will be history.

My point is, this is a game, it should be fun. It shouldnt be a way for someone to exploit another and feel gleeful they were able to gain at the expense of another.

The best was when we could cause our neighbours to lose their squidport tiles

I have a question. How do you know someone has clicked an already visited building? I before I read this forum I clicked on houses that looked haunted and it said haunted by ghosts.... does that mean someone already visited that building? I have one other question. Placing gremlins in friends towns when I do then i go back to my town and a thing pops up that says your gremlins have collected so many goo from other towns... ok so does this mean I shouldnt kill gremlins people place in my town so they can collect more goo for my neighbors?

Lighten up its just a game. There is plenty of GOO to go around and plenty of time left to get everything. It's not a big deal you just haunt back. :twisted: People had discussion of this before and it's all in fun. But if your making a "list" it is way beyond that point and you should take a break.
