Grandma Carole wrote: Thanks Deb and 5sides, useful insight about playing nicely. Now a question about trophies. I'm getting a lot of random fixers - 17 balls of string last night! I know this is not the friends' doing, but I visit and charge everyone every day and they are not reciprocating, or sending only lower level fixers. I wondered if that is because they are charging my trophies and I have no way of knowing.

I have started just charging their trophies and wondered if there is daily limit to how many you can receive. It makes visiting much quicker. TIA

Carole I've been experiencing this lately too! Lots of string too.

Besides being sick of people not changing their wish lists, I am tired too death of all the people who only charge my trophies. I gift and play daily, and carefully charge my friends' rooms, trying to discern what their goals are. I get charging only the trophies if you have a reason, like Carole, but just charging trophies for no reason seems lazy and a bit insulting. I know this is controversial, and everyone plays differently, but it is my personal pet peeve. That and Rangers charging my trophies. You're a Ranger -- your talent is helping people receive CIs. Some have whined that they can't help what talent the game has assigned them -- well I wish that God had made me blonde and skinny, but I've gotta work with what I was given. If you're a Ranger and just charge trophies you are only helping yourself, not really helping your friends. Of course they get a bit of a boost from the trophy charge, but you're not being as helpful as you could be. Charge my rooms, darn it!

I have also learned a lesson that, when people post on this forum that they "visit daily" it doesn't mean they gift and charge rooms (or charge anything at all). I'm about ready to weed a bunch of people off my friends' list and solicit new ones. (Not people like Lola, who are having game troubles, or Opal, who have let us know they are traveling or otherwise indisposed.  I won't axe people who have been good friends in the past.) I'm tired of giving while a lot of people only take.

Okay, *end rant*.
