For events like this where neighbors play a big part, i unfriend those inactive, or those who have not updated days into event. I only have 1 forum friend(all together) that is not included in being removed, i would pm first. And 3 real life friends that i wont remove, one of them not been on since halloween and one who has never visited me but logs in every so often so i can still tap her town. She's also very busy and can hardly get on which for a friend is acceptable.

Generally I un friend after a week of inactivity.

I usually un-friend my neighbors after 2 days of no activity during an event. But it appears that a bunch of them haven't even started gathering Rods yet - and I'm still getting a few handshakes here and there - so I've started keeping track today of who's visiting my towns.Ya hear that people? I'm makin' a list! Better get on the ball and start visiting!

Why over think it? Guilt? Come on. Just do it. No public explanations are necessary.Play your game how you prefer it. Choose your neighbors as you see fit.

I have started the annual event purge as well. What I dont understand is the town that says no carbon rods / event currency but origin shows they logged in within the past day.

In this event even if your friend is inactive you can still tap stuff in there town for event currency.

But will run out of tappables if they don't come on to clear. Depending on their neighbor amount that could be less than 24 hours before nothing tappable is left.

I deleted a bunch that weren't starting the event during the first bit. I am someone who plays a lot, and visits neighbours whether or not there's an event. I have had some luck in adding people from FB or the friend request page here. Not so much luck with adding forum regulars so far.

Right now I have about 6500 pies so I think I have enough visits from my neighbors. I have neighbors that have a lot more than I do. Usually I will delete them if I noticed they are not clearing out their towns after a few days. If they have been on my list for a few months, then I will give them a week or more before I will delete them. When you need friends to visit you to achieve your goals, it really need good friends that play at least twice a day.

Normally, if their town has nothing to tap, I check their status.

Just curious how you do this? I haven't seen that option, but I'm also playing on iPad so maybe it's not an option?

Go to the Friend screen.
Tap the handshake button on the lower right corner of the screen, this will bring up your list of friends.
Scroll to the list of names, tap a name. It will show time Last Played and Level. Also an option to Unfriend.

As mentioned above, just logging into any Origin game could show a recent time of play but not necessarily TSTO.
