Thanks for your input everyone!

Howard I guess MyT generated friends does sound rather "robotish" but I just use that to distinguish from wikia friends. I was actually referring to the ones that MyT presents if *I* click on the find friends tab. The players that show up usually either have hundreds of friends and a very low reputation (I take that as meaning they are not gifting or visiting) or they have little to no friends at all. I have invited some of the ones with no friends but they just sit there in the tab waiting for the other player to accept.

How does MyT decide who to put up as an option when you request friends? I don't think they have ever given another player my name because I have never had any person just randomly show up in my wr. Take that back...I have had 2 people show up without any notice but both were way above my level and one is on the wiki and a commom friend to many of us. I haven't seen the other one on the wiki but he seems like a regular player and the wiki type. Don't they normally present players that are a similar level as the requester? Have you ever had people you know from the wiki be presented as choices when you do the find friends request?

Nisha, I really only started the gifting thing once I got to the wiki because as I said, none of the very few friends I had ever did anything! And even after starting to gift, it also took me a little bit to learn that there were other things down the page (past the items that were locked)that were available to give. That was definitely an "ah ha!" moment. I still have some pre-wiki friends that I have kept for my own selfish reasons. Most are sleepers and very rare players. One is still playing and NEVER sends anything except an occasional blue box (so I guess she has figured out how to accept without a thank you for the other gifts she gets). I don't think any of them ever visit let alone time travel. I wholeheartedly agree with your statement about the help we get from the wiki making such a big difference.
