event = cleaning friend list?

There is only 1 I'm keeping regardless for my own reasons but I'm being a bit stricter then that for the others. If they dont have emblems to spy like you mentioned but also the ones who are only going after lodges and not bothering doing the other 2 clicks I'm removing as well. I'm going as far as making a spreadsheet and will keep track daily of if I see their name 3 times in my town, if they do the lodge then come back, thats fine, but if they dont. They are outta here!! I'm close to the max on friends so I have no problem kicking slackers

I have a few who haven't even started building the lodge yet. Hopefully they will soon.

so are you still waiting for them?
interesting... because even if I could wait till I have at least the friends for my 60 actions... I'm also seeing a decrease in the number of visits in my SF! so probably they have really closed with the game... who knows...

I'm am slowly cleaning the list, not all at the same time, but few per day... we will see...
by the way, have you an empty slot for a new friend? ;-)

I've had no trouble getting max emblems from visiting yet, and have many neighbors visiting me, so there's no huge rush to dump them. A couple of them are forum friends, too, so they get a grace period. (A few have already been deleted because some active forumites PMed me about being neighbors.)

if they haven't got emblems by now or even started to build the lodge ditch them.. the last thing you need is inactive neighbours during events.

I would love to create an ultimate friend list of people who are basically nerds and play the game a few times a day like me :D

I have about 20 neighbors with zero emblem counts. I thought, "Ah, easy peasy, I'll delete them since they aren't playing!" Except I go in and find out that all of them have played within the last 24 hours. WTH? Most of them have at least started building the Stonecutter's Hall, so I'll give them a couple more days. I have three friends that haven't even started the darn hall including one that played just six hours ago! What are they waiting for? I hate to delete active neighbors, but if they don't participate in the event, it's hard to keep them around.

My theory is that they came here, added us as neighbors and haven't come back. I think they have no idea there is an app update yet - so I think when EA pushes the forced update button it will happen. Unless of course this event is limited to particular OS versions, which won't allow them to update. I got 2 visits yesterday from neighbors for handshakes - so I can see they are active, but they haven't started the event - or haven't progressed for the ability to spy on neighbors yet.

D'oh! That actually makes perfect sense. I didn't think about the update not being pushed yet. Surely they must wonder why all their neighbors have giant temples and pyramids in their towns, though! I guess I'll give them more time then; active neighbors are hard to find. I find I get about one keeper neighbor for every five random adds during an event.

My deadline is tonight when I get home from work then the cleanse begins!
