You're are a sweetie, Chase. I always took my cues from Dag & Stu when it came to the subject of TT. I learned by looking over the categorized posts that existed. If I had questions I posted to their walls, via email/FB or in the appropriate thread. I question why in recent months the posts are popping up all over and new posts headlining TT became more prevalent. There are videos posted to YouTube...people can google....that is one of the reasons I question the authenticity of some accounts here on Wikia. I used to "advertise" this forum for players asking questions via username and hope that players from my account are not the ones bothered by TT enough to try to bring it down sooner than Mytona will do on their own. It's just a theory/thought. I spent the day relooking at my friend list and reevaluting where I acquired each player and when. I tried to vette each player as best I could via authentic FB accounts but we all know FB has hacked accounts, too. I just want to have fun with SN. It was fun discovering patterns and learning nuances. I tried to help in that same vein. But newer visitors seem to want quantitative analysis on everything, especially gifting-related. All seem directed at optimizing how one can I get the most gifts. My answer - gift. To have a friend be one.

I totally appreciate your friendship and any gift you send my way but I do not play my game to ensure I get gifts or to calculate how many to send out for a Y return. I do not worry if a gift didn't make it because the other player had a sync account or too many other gifts. Others do, however, have different game play that differs from mine which is to be expected. I have freinds whom gift me and freinds whom do not. I cannot get inside of their heads or their games and have no desire to do so. If I send a gift it is free from me. If you send me a gift it is free from you. Of course we don't want gifts to go to the "ether" as Linka says (that makes me smile) but I'm not spending my time worrying about it and I'm not keeping spreadsheets on reciprocity. I had that line of thinking awhile back but Dag, Talou, Susi, Linka, you, removed the thoughts of trying to understand why others play how they do and just enjoy my game for myself and how I like to play. So staying on my wall here keeps me from my sense of  over-protection of other newbies who happen upon this site and may find some information wrong or uni-directional. I spent the time to correct an earlier post that had a lot of missing information and a few innacuracies in it. This most recent thread and subsequent comments (some directed my way) was enough. Sorry for this long post but wanted you to understand where I am coming from. I wasn't judging anyone earlier and accepted the difference but upon rereading the entire thread it made me question the motives purported. Hopefully the listed points were sincere but this has made a public forum skeptic of me. For the record this is the only forum I've ever been on related to a game. It will be my only and my last. I've often wondered if this Wiki site was started by Mytona contract employees to generate game interest and business but I doubt they would stimulate some of the recent drama nor my perception of avarice over gifts in the game. That is usually internet "trolls" from what I have read in warnings. So here I will stay despite the feeling that there will be more "bait" type of threads in the future.
