There is a limit to the number of pie bombs you get from tapping criminals on neighbor visits, but the 3 pie bombs per neighbor for reporting crimes appears unlimited. But doing what you suggest would require you to go through your neighbor list and manually delete everyone, then send friend requests to 100 people you found somewhere, then wait for those 100 people to accept your friend requests, then spend the time to visit all 100 new friends who didn't all accept you at the same time. Seems a ridiculous amount of effort for 300 pie bombs that you can get by just hanging out in your own Springfield for a while and tapping the criminals that show up!

I don't know that I would accept a friend invitation from someone I knew was doing that.I like my friends and as long as they visit and clear their towns I will keep them.

I like the idea of cultivating a good group of friends to stick with, just seems like it would help me the most in the long run. Also, I think you get only 1 pie bomb when you visit neighbors, but up to 4 when they have time to visit you back. If you dump them quickly, they might not have time to visit you back.

Never said it was practical, just possible. It could also be a strategy for someone who needs to catch up.

I wouldn't consider this tactic to be a cheat. It's more like this:https://img1.etsystatic.com/014/0/7949194/il_570xN.439101307_qzzl.jpg

I'd say it would actually get you farther behind. The amount of time it would take to do what you suggest for 300 pie bombs is greater than the amount of time it would take to just sit in your town and collect 300 bombs from 17 criminals.

lol, only a true addict can come up with such a crazy idea.
but imho, anyone you would invest so much time and effort deserves the few extra phones (for Zenith city) and donuts from criminals.

What you are reffing to is been know to be called "Friend Farming". It's not only frowned upon but is also the reason we only get 60 or so friend actions per town.

In reality it won't work. Oh sure a few neighbors here and there. But in the big picture will probably make little difference.

not worth the effort

it takes a long time to get 100 good friends you can rely on.

i would never delete one just to get 3 pie bombs which is so minimal it is ridiculous.
you get 18 just for tapping a criminal and they spawn like mad.
