I'm still working to figure this out. I have a total of 128 friends. Of those 8 are sleeping, 20 are in some way inactive - meaning they are not currently playing or they don't gift/visit. The other 80 are all starred as favorites for now. Of the 80, about 50 are friends I've picked up here - some I "know" and others just responded when I posted my code. It's given me a really nice mix of different game levels and TT'ers versus non TT'ers.

For this week, when I TT, I'm including the "top" 80. I'm trying to consiously notice who in that group may not be much for visiting/gifting. I have a few on vacation or who have said in names that they are busy. No problem of course. But others I'm seeing may have incompatible styles in terms of what they gift and what they charge if they visit.

The reasons I haven't deleted any is because 1) I need to increase my rep level. Took me a while to learn the friend thing so my rep level is not quite 1/3 of game level and I know that matters to some people. and 2) I generally don't hire now and I'm learning here that I will benefit quite a bit from making that a habit.

I think in terms of TT'ing, gifting CIs, visiting daily, etc., 80-85 is a good number for me. I don't want to have so many active freinds that I can't visit daily. I'm just not sure if I have the right mix in terms of the kind of friend I am.
