I still have room but I like to keep my number around 70 (that's about I can visit in a day). Yeti have added a few. But they just keep coming. So I know this has been discussed before, but since Tapped Out has increased in popularity and we have a lot of people new to the game I wanted to ask this again since it's been awhile. So my question is: do ever accept random friend requests (meaning you were not pm'ed in advance)? I accept it if I know the person. :lol:

If it's one of the regulars i'll accept if it's somebody i don't know i'll denie it

Hmm you sure this not an add me thread in disguise?? ;) I don't accept any friend requests without a PM 1st, otherwise it a flat out decline :lol: If i know the person from here then maybe just maybe i wont decline it

I've been getting a lot more PM's lately asking to be friends which is great! But at the same time I feel a bit guilty about bumping people who have been my neighbour since the beginning but added randomly! :?

I'm easy going kind of person. Plus, it's nice to be able to say something to your neighbor. I always pm my neighbors if I see they are renovating their town and give them a complement.

I have one person on my friends list since Day1 of playing who i have never deleted! The person has never been on here so have no idea who he or she is but how can you delete someone who has been on your friends list from the start....so over a year! lol

I keep those ones too. I feel like we started out together in this game even through we've never talked. 8)

Thats kinda how i see that neighbour :) He is the only one i have from day1 everyone else is from this forum :)

I have about 40 / 50 who I've had since the start and never spoken to!

I review the applications, get wasted on light beer and watch a couple of slasher flicks. Then I notify the lucky winners ( they usually pass out from the excitement). Then notify the losers ( the fun part! ) by telling them what they need to improve in their meaningless little lives to get a gnat's booty of a chance next time. Also, the losers have 6 months before they can try again to impress me. It's not really very complicated!

I'm glad I am already your neighbor and don't have to go through all that! :lol:

I accepted a random invite once. Everything and I mean everything (buildings from each level) was placed side by side with no room between them in the top corner of Springfield. The rest of the screen was nothing but blue houses with no room in between them! I deleted them immediately also. Why would you even play the game?!!

I keep a written down list of my friends and update it regularly if people's towns or lvls don't change in a while I will normally delete them. I haven't filled my list but it getting there. But I digress.. Yes I do but end up deleting them due to non playing... All my original friends have stopped so I got rid of them after meeting awesome forum members! Happy friend finding Indys!

Edit: most original friends were from my FB and contact list n they all didn't play,

I started out during Whacking Day, so I were in dire need of alot of friends. At that time I added alot of random people, and many randoms added me. I were in touch with some in regards of trading eggs, and others in the hope of getting some donations. And I must say, there is a lot of nice people here. Still there are many on my full friends list I have never spoken too, and some that didn't respond at all to my greetings. I even have a lot of "friends" with huge housefarms.

I even have some that I know are inactive, since they haven't leveled up in weeks.

Up until recently I visited everyone daily, but during vacation time, I haven't had the time (I'm more busy during vacation than otherwise ;) ). Now I only visit those I have been in touch with mostly daily, and the others only when I have the time and feel like it (that may be often enough once my vacation finishes).

If Krustyland don't require a lot of friends, I think I will finally start deleting quite a few, atleast the inactive ones. Funny enough I only have four friends from the forums on my friends list, but that kind of suits me, since I still am unable to decorate my town. I have just recently gotten all the free buildings, now I can finally concentrate on buying more land, and save up a little bit before the next update hits. My town isn't nice, it's quite ugly really, but I am trying to space my buildings a little bit atleast, but since so few people from the forums can see my town, I'm fine with that for now.

It's hard being a latecomer to this game, and trying to get even. So for those of you thinking some of us isn't trying, and therefore delete your friends after viewing their town once, keep in mind that when you are new to the game, it takes a lot of time to get to the point where you can concentrate on just decorating your town. I suppose most players prefer to get the buildings and characters as fast as possible first and foremost, then buying the land, and finally trying to beatify it... From scratch until you get to the point where you have enough cash to "waste" on decorations, it will take some months, maybe even half a year at this rate with updates, depending on how active you are...
