Thoughts On Double-Haunting...

I keep hearing (reading) a lot of people complaining about, threatening to delete, etc. their neighbors because of this “double-haunting” garbage. I don’t get the big deal.

* “They’re stealing ~MY~ GOO!” – They’re stealing 2 GOO from you. Is this REALLY that big of a deal in the big picture? Considering that if you have a neighbor who has done this, the number of them is likely minimal, the amount of GOO that people are throwing a fuss about is minimal at best, and the most that they’re being affected is by 6 GOO per visit (once every 24 hrs.).

* “It’s selfish of them to take two and leave me with none!” – Considering that they’re taking about (at most) 6 GOO, if it happens to you, quit being stingy and selfish in your own right and just let it go. It’s really no big deal.

On top of all that, if you figure out who is doing it on a regular basis (I’ve done it once or twice by accident, as well as a couple times intentionally), it opens the door for you to return the favor. It seems to be forgotten that this is a two-way street. You are just as capable of returning the favor as you are of just outright deleting them. Why short yourself a friend when you can just take back the GOO that they “stole” from you that got your panties in a wad to begin with?!

*STEPS DOWN FROM HIS SOAPBOX*


Personally I could care less if I get double haunted or not. The option was put there for a reason. I don't do it because it bothers others

    Oh I didn't even realise it worked that way... and I do relese my gremlins at night because I'm westcoast and it's the time I have. Oh man, sorry neighbors! I didn't know!


    I'm in California and had the same thought but then I noticed a number of members here are from alien planets, like Australia and the UK. Where I am, it's 1:30 in the afternoon on Wednesday. In the UK It's 9:30 at night on Wednesday, and our friends in Australia are having their THURSDAY breakfast ... Trying to figure out when to release gremlins so i can help others just made my brain explode.

    Just so you all know, I've started taking my phone to the loo when I wake up to wee in the middle of the night. I squish all the gremlins you've dropped thinking I've gone to bed. :twisted:

    ROFL.

    Well, I hadn't pegged you as one of the distant alien beings, but anyone who uses the term "loo" sure ain't from the USA. Isn't it about your bedtime by now? :)

    I understand that math is really hard, but when someone double-haunts, they're depriving you of twelve goo. If no one did that and visited every friend every day, we'd all reach our goal quicker. One double-haunt means we need to visit four extra people a day.


    12?

    If someone double-haunted my buildings, it's like the building was never haunted. I get 2 goo per haunted building, which means that if someone took away 3 haunted buildings... that's 6, no?

    The fact remains that, despite the unreasonable worries of the EXTREME circumstances of losing something like 400 GOO per day (let's keep in reality), one or two neighbors doubling up will cost 6 GOO per day, per player, at most. Obviously you will not run across many (some won't have ANY) who do this.

    Nobody is a victim here with this. I was irritated by those crying foul over their 6 lost GOO when they have the ability to "take back" the GOO that was "stolen." If those people choose not to do anything, the only person they have to be upset with is themselves.

    When you have the ability to make something right, and you make the choice not to, who's at fault then?

    Instead of crying that "they stole my GOO!" "YOU stole my GOO!," quit crying about it, put your big boy pants on and take it back! Lol!
