Farmville Addiction!!!

[tantrumbean]

I vowed that I would never press that Farmville button on facebook, but after a lot of pestering from my manager at work (she wore me down after a few 10 hour night shifts with just the 2 of us in the office), I finally gave in about two weeks ago and pressed the evil thing! Now I'm addicted - I know it's a totally stupid game, but it does suck you in (well, it did me anyway!) and now my partner has fallen into the farmville trap as well - we seem to have rather endless discussions about which crops to plant, how to hatch more magic eggs and who to recruit as a neighbour! I am so sad and I know it!!!! Must grow out of this!!!!

Anybody else play Farmville? Always on the lookout for new neighbours!

i always push the ignore button for those requests.

Keep on pressing ignore - it's lethal!!!

I ignore invites as well.
I also refuse to take the "Find out what kind of ....... you are" tests.

Maybe it is time for you to find that non-Farmville village and move off the farm.
You cannot possibly have time to ride, work, post on TE and build your little rural empire! Something has got to go.

I don't get it. I have extremely intelligent friends who are spending all of their time doing this.
I ignore everything on Facebook and rarely post anything. I read what others write, mostly to keep up with my friends in other places.
Of course, I don't play any kind of games, whether it's on the computer or board games, or cards. I can't sit long enough and also apparently my brain doesn't work in ways that allow me to strategize in games.

I get it. I don't "do" Farmville, but my son does, and it annoys me because from the outside it looks like a really dumb game if you'll forgive my saying so. But I shouldn't talk, because I was the one with a massive Suduko addiction a few years back, I've sat up all night playing Tomb Raider because I just couldn't stop, and I can get hooked trying to figure out how some puzzle works just because I can't let it go. I'll play scrabble or Carcassonne and be much happier if I can fill all the gaps rather than win.

I think my son and I have the same mildly addictive personality. Which is probably why his silly addictions irritate me, come to think of it.

I agree with you Crankin. I don't understand it and have blocked all games and invites from my Facebook page. I love to play games, cards, craps--you name it--on occasion but can't understand spending hours each day tending my garden. And really hate it when it clutters up my Facebook page when someone gets a purple cow or ugly duckling on their farm. Guess I'm just a grumpy neighbor!

You know, you can hide all those quizzes and games, just mouse over on the right hand side and you should get a "hide whatever" buttons. You only have to do this once for each game/quiz.
