Why won't people graffiti?

Not everyone reads the forums either, so a lot of people don't know that they should graffiti.

That definitely factors into it because the only ones who vandalise in my town are friends I've added from this forum. I just thought the others would have figured it out by now after seeing they get points when their town is vandalised.

You're assuming they pause between taps when they're clearing handshakes. If you clear a bunch of building handshakes rapidly (and i do that!) Then, sure, you see an occasional FP float to the top, but there's no real reason to believe it has a relation to the mops. For all they know, the FPs are totally random.

And this game has no standard, plain old game instructions, and most of the good stuff we have to ferret out from random places,, and few people in the real world have the luxury to spend time chatting in forums, and what's worse, the very concept of graffiti is a completely negative one, so it seems to the average person to be, at best, mischievous. And at worst, just plain rude. Nothing that you would ever do as a FAVOR to a real life friend.

Would be nice if there were a few screens of instructions embedded in the game. :(
