Using Lisa's snake task to identify inactive neighbors

Ill cut anyone under 2000 I think, they're not any use to me and I'm no use to them
  • I tend to use Origin profiles to gauge neighbour activity, it gives you the details of their last login to Origin. I cut a lot of neighbours who had massive house farms right at the outset of Whacking Day.
  • You can view the last login by your friends on the My Friends tab in the Origin screen. I routinely delete anyone thathas not logged in in 2 weeks.
  • Basically the idea is that you keep tabs on them by seeing whether or not the count goes up over time. Just going by a cut-off point seems pretty unfair to me a person could simply be new to the game or maybe only wanted certain prizes and not others. Now that the close of Whacking Day is upon us (Snakemageddon) you won't be able to do this anymore. However you can still see "Last logged in" on your friends tab in the origin interface overlay. If they play other origin games you may have to do some more detective work, such as visiting every couple of days to find out if their people are forever idle. I sometimes wished during this event you could view a person's snake eggs given to and received from others.
  • It's a good idea. I need to get rid of some of mine I've had for ages.
    Then again I am not a great neighbour at all anymore, I didn't visit anyone before the Snakes and even now I only visit 1 I have a deal with.
  • I am going to cut people who didn't try and people who used donuts on the first day to buy all the prizes. I have kept track on a spread sheet and have 6 towns waiting to be deleted.
  • I just simply go to the "My Friends" screen in Origin and see who hasn't logged in from anywhere between 5 days and 2 weeks then I remove them to make room for someone who is active. Preferably high leveled people or people with very nice towns to look at and possibly give you a idea or two! :D
  • When I decide to delete neighbors, I look at their activity in Origin. if they havent logged in for awhile, I will delete them to add another person. Unless its someone I know personally or am good friends with online.

    Am I the only one who doesn't mind having a few inactive neighbors on their friends list? They make events such as this easier by having smaller towns, and more buildings to click on for Christmas and valentines day. I don't visit friends that often to care enough if they have bad towns. If I want ideas or to look at some nice towns I come to the forum and look at panoramics


    This! I have a few inactive friends at say level 4, with like 1 straight section of road or something - they're SO easy to find snakes in - and there's still plenty of others to get ideas from too - it's all about the right balance for me!
