Farmville on Facebook is fragging addicting!

[Odin2005]

I have a nice orchard with a variety of fruit trees; I am growing artichokes, soybeans, and wheat; and have a cow, a goat, and two geese. :)

1. If you feel that way, stay the everloving hell away from Mafia Wars.

[Odin2005]

2. I've tried to keep myself away from that as much as possible.

[FunkyLeprechaun]

20. lol

says me, a level 402 Matoryj Avitoret.

They really should do a psychological degree out of this. All this button pressing is a bit Skinner-ish.

[XemaSab]

27. The thing that cracks me up about MW

is that it isn't even FUN, yet I play it anyway.

[FunkyLeprechaun]

29. Don't you find it annoying that you're

ALMOST upgraded to the level and not enough energy points?

Methinks I need to go to MafiaWars Anonymous soon.

[PVnRT]

32. Fucking New York tier and fucking blackmail photos

[flvegan]

38. No doubt. I skipped Boss altogether.

Waiting to amass the 4,000 of each I'll need and level up enough to have 1500 energy for all the 1% jobs. On to Cuba and Moscow for me!

3. How does that work?

I seem to have acquired a farm by accident, probably from something someone sent me, but I have no idea how one plays the game. A friend keeps sending me a free animal and asking me to send her one in return. I don't think my supposed farm even has any animals on it. I haven't responded to her requests because I'm clueless about farmville and not sure if I want to get involved in another time-wasting activity or not. Can someone clue me in about farmville?

[Odin2005]

5. You dig plots for crops and plant some trees

Pretty simple and self explanatory.

[Kat45]

7. But what's it all about, "buying" animals?

Buying with what?

[Pithlet]

9. There's usually some type of currency, usually coins, that you earn with your crops.

And you can buy animals or someone can gift them to you. Part of the appeal and addiction of these types of games is figuring out the how to maximize your profits. Sometimes you can buy other types of bonus things for your farm, or island, or whatever game you play.

[Odin2005]

12. You get money from the crops you harvest.

[Pithlet]

4. I play Island Paradise.

I'm up to level 21. I'm harvesting peppers. I have an ostrich, three llamas, several goats, a tortoise and a white peacock.

[tosh]

19. Fellow IP junkie here

Just rolled over to level 16 - got a fireplace and some orchids - big day!!

I'm in love with my white peacock but he isn't fully grown yet. My turtle is though:+

[Hawkeye-X]

6. I played Farmville - got too boring.

I play Castle Age instead.

[zanana1]

17. That's my problem with Farmville....

A relative "invited" me to join. I hate having to keep it up because I don't like games online. Besides, it IS boring!

[rainbow4321]

8. No kidding..I was so upset when I didn't harvest my strawberries in time

and they wilted. Now if I know I'm not going to be around a computer within several hours, I buy the "grow in 2 (or 3) days" seeds!

[LiberalFighter]

10. Thank goodness I don't do any of that stuff.

And I've had a computer since 1983 and been on the internet since before 1990.

[WolverineDG]

11. I'm trying to get a donkey

which is why I have so damn many chickens.

(I'll take "things that only make sense on Facebook for $500," Alex)

[Odin2005]

13. LOL!

[jmm]

14. I'm a Farmville and Cafe World addict.

I've got to level up one more time in Farmville before I'll be able to get my next expansion. Then I plan on totally redesigning my farm since I have way too much stuff.

[Spacemom]

15. I just found farmville and cafe world

now I'm addicted!!

[Iggo]

16. My whole family plays it. I don't.

What I think I've noticed is this: It's not a game, it's work.

[vixengrl]

18. My spouse has one of those Farmville farms....

and a Cafeville cafe, and some kind of floating island farm, an aquarium, some other pets he looks after in something called Petville, and a tourist island.

I call him a "Facebook workaholic."

[tabbycat31]

21. if anyone on DU needs farmville neighbors PM me

[AsahinaKimi]

22. Yes but when the animals die... .

Where do you bury them on FaceBook? I haven't found that page yet..

[caitxrawks]

23. meh, it's not my favorite.

It takes too damn long to do anything on most of the Facebook games, plus if you want to do anything FUN you have to pay to get it. That being said, I play Vampire Wars and Sorority Life :D

[ccinamon]

24. I play too many games on Facebook

Sorority Life, Vampire Wars, Mafia Wars, Farmville, Fishville and Zoo World....mostly to help out my friends and my kids...however, when I get frustrated, I love icing people in MafiaWars and destroying girls in Sorority Life who attack me more than twice....fighting people via revenge motives can be very therapeutic!

[tabbycat31]

30. you know what is fucked up?

Me working outside yesterday in the cold building some borders for a "real" garden- (expanding)


And I go inside and wife is playing stupid farmville game :eyes:

[MissMillie]

31. I haven't tried it

for the very reason that I was told that it would take over my life.

[redqueen]

33. I like that one and Treasure Madness...

addictive, they are!

[wickerwoman]

36. Oooh, I need neighbors too.

PM me for Farmville, Cafe World and Treasure Madness.

[Call Me Wesley]

37. I'm still playing plain 'Facebook' there.

It's a game where you have your own inner circle, like your very own secret society, and over the time, you add friends and become friends with long-lost people you knew once from some other time. Than you nourish them a bit, make them happy with status updates and wall postings, and keep a close eye on who their friends are. After a time, you start to defriend them, and friend the ones that also defriended them. Then you talk about them.

It's a fun game. It's like MySpace, but without the crappy music. ;)

Heh, there, I said it!

[BolivarianHero]

39. Can't stand it...

It's like Harvest Moon with pages reloading and people bugging you all the time. *Fires up ZSNES and plays the real McCoy*

I suppose it would be fun if it was coded as a Web 2.0 / AJAX application.
