if they haven't got emblems after 3 days they are not active enough for meand i definitely clearing them off, there's enough active player in this game to maneuver...

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.

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.

when a new event starts, I wait few days to understand if someone is or not collecting items (emblems in this case) before taking in consideration the idea of removing a friend... maybe is my fault that I don't check out of events who is visiting my SF...

As of today, I have almost 40% of my friend with 0 emblems... what do you do? are you cleaning your friend list?
I know that origin can show the last time someone has played, but I don't trust it the client so much, because in the past I have received wrong informations (i mean people "inactive" according to origin, that were visiting my SF)
but the 0 emblems is a clear indicator... or not?

well...
in case...
I should have some free slots ;-)

I still have a few neighbors with 0 emblems, but I can see they've built the Stonecutters lodge and have played within the past 24 hours. Not sure what's going on with them, but I'm skipping over them when visiting, because I noticed the system subtracted my "taps" in their town against my daily 60 emblem limit, even though there are no cameras/emblems in their towns. Once I max out on my emblems, I go back and tap, as it's another chance to find a donut.

Having the same problem. Some of the 0 emblem friends visit/spy on me. What's up?

I would give them a little more time. Maybe, they built the pyramid, but when it was finished, Homer was busy. So now they have to wait on Homer, and then do his next task before they can get emblems. We can afford to be a little more patient with this event since we only need to visit 20 people to get our emblems from visiting. I'm thinking about not even replacing the ones that I delete. There's no advantage to having extra friends to visit if they don't reciprocate. And random adds are hit and miss.

I had a lot of friends without cameras etc but over the last 24 hours the majority have come online, as you can only get 60 hits when visiting towns this time out, I'm not busting a gut to clear down I actives, but I'd expect anyone plays regularly to have at least started the temple by the end of the weekend. After that................... :?:

I just went through and removed friends. I had about 15 or so out of 100 with 0 in the emblem counter. I went into each town to see if a friend had built the lodge. If so, I'm giving those people a few more days. If there was no evidence of any stonecutter activity, I deleted that person. I just like to have all of my friends be active. But it certainly isn't about getting enough emblems, I don't think that will be an issue.

I've controlled the neighbours town with 0 emblems. Some are Building the lodge. And I will give them the time.
But I also found 2 towns which doesn't build the lodge. Curious is that this towns are online in the last hours. :?

If you stay on the forum long enough, that'll happen.

I'm going to wait for the weekend, then start checking the 0 emblem ones. When it comes to dropping them, I'll start with inactive ones. Most of mine are already playing the event, so I have no trouble getting max emblems. But if some aren't playing at all I'll probably drop those to give others a chance.

I just got rid of all neighbors who haven't even started the lodge yet. I figure that's a pretty basic standard for whether someone is really playing the game anymore. That amounted to about 20 neighbors being removed.

I decided to check my 0 emblem friends today to see when they last logged in and was quite shocked with the results!

Out of about 20 people with 0 emblems, only a couple hadn't logged in in 2 days or more. The rest have been logging in like usual, even just a couple of hours ago, but aren't collecting emblems. :?

Some of them have the lodge built, some are clearly in the process of building it, but A LOT of them haven't even started yet. Do you think they've just decided not to bother with the event? Maybe Easter put them off or something...
