I delete them if i struggle to find buildings to click on in my visits to them. really annoys me spending that extra time searching for buildings. I have a full neighbour list after going through a big clean up and re-stock last month. have 6 friends waiting but don't want to reject them as if i find some people who aren't playing/low level i'll delete them and add one from the waiting list
Okay. I think I will be doing some deleting and trying to add some forum members here. I think it's more fun to have neighbors that are active on forums because you hear some thoughts on how and why they design things at times.
At this point in the event, if I have neighbors that haven't started playing, I check how many weeks inactive and then start deleting. I said goodbye to some long time players this event that have disappeared. Annette and Yukongirl come to mind...That bummed me out, but I dont want to visit a town with nothing to tap - and Id rather open my friend list to other players - so they can enjoy the majesty of my towns design. Its actually very considerate of me.
I just had a neighbor start up again after being gone for over a week. I can understand that people may need to delete neighbors after a week, but I am glad that I didn't delete them.
I tend to delete faster if during an event, if Act 1 is 5 days old and they haven't started, off they go. Between events I usually wait 4 to 6 weeks in case of illness or vacations.
Unsolicited friends requests are all denied.Please PM me.
I usually delete neighbors who haven't played in over 20 weeks & up. I've had people not play for 3 or 4 months and start playing again, so I give it a little more time. But if they have a well designed town, I keep them a little longer.
During non events, even long term friends, I'll keep them, but come an event, if they don't play within the first week, the newer players are toast. I usually give a long term friend the benefit of the doubt, but if they haven't played by act 2, toast like for them. I want active players, especially during an event. What good is it to keep someone on, if they haven't played in a long time?
6 to 8 weeks for active players who have been regular and stop... 4 weeks for players that I've noticed a pattern of regularly not playing for weeks at a time inside and outside of events.
I rarely delete but did recently during this event, taking time to visit and not having buildings to click gets frustrating. Some of my neighbors haven't played in over a year. I figure they're not coming back lol. I usually visit, check out their place, if I like their town I give it a bit. I probably think way to much about it
