The last person who pm'ed me with a friend request I let know that
A. My town looks like crap and I have only just started making it look like a town rather than vomit that fell from the sky.
B. I have a house farm down bottom
C. Unless its wacking day or something similar I might visit once a month just to look at what they have done.
What was the math... 31 exp per friend x 100 = 3100 exp and over an hour of my life I will never get back.
I am actually currently collecting handshakes. I will collect on most stuff in my town but not handshakes and I always leave some buildings for more handshakes. They still get the exp for visiting me plus the inspiration to have a town that looks nothing like mine. I won't delete any friend as long as they are doing something, be it redesigns, funny pictures, or still leveling up and adding new buildings. Anybody who wants to unfriendly me can at their pleasure.
I'm a lot like that in real life as well. I only visit friends to accomplish something like build a bathroom of tile a floor, never for purely social reasons. And yeah my yard/ house look like they were vomited from the sky lol
