I agree with 5s reputation level and number of friends means little. High reputation is calculated by the number of clicks a player does when visiting, that's all. You can have a player who gifts a lot CIs and such but visits rarely and vice versa - a player who visits 100 a day but don't gift and will send bulk fluff. I never had a very big FL and it took me a while to reach 50 - a smaller FL means a slower reputation climb but also means more personalized gifting your friends. Some players like to have high number of friends for various reasons (hiring, etc.) and that's ok too. Since I started playing I changed my tune - Some of my oldest, best and most active players have over 150 (some over 200) friends - but probably not all their friends are active and if you are yourself a good friend, those friends will also engage with you no matter the number of friends they have. Best advise I can give newbies is keep the fun playing - don't make it a chore - if it's a drag to visit, cut the number, don't worry about your reputation - if you can't play everyday, don't worry, it's game - most players don't play everyday - just find your niche.---Laz
