To think that we are being brainwashed by farmville

ijustwanttoaskaquestion · 10/12/2009 17:07

and all its associated time stealing sodding applications.

Now don't be telling me that i dont actually HAVE to do farmville, fellow addicts will understand that once you are hooked, you HAVE NO CHIOCE!!!!

Its all those exciting extra things they introduce!! Now i dont spend money on it or go in for any of the advertising i refuse to be suckered quite so much, but im sat here all worried because no one has sent me a gift today and think there must be somethign wrong, and what if i dont get anymore gifts my tree will be boring!!!

I think i need help

My name is LEM and i'm a farmvillaholic!!

oh LEM - you should come over to the Farmville thread on the Facebook topic.

Actually we're about to fill it and I think we're going to make it a "general" Facebook gaming addicts thread

I also bought snow - it's a bit crap though isn't it.

My Ghost Chillies are about to ripen - gotta go

i dont like the snow, i bought it and then had to waste another 1500 coins buying the grass back!! I have a xmas tree too - and a snow flake, im not loving the nut crackers or toy soldiers though - i want holly!!! Oh and i want a snow man but no one sent me any gifts today or is there any FV notes on my facebook - something is wrong i know it!!!!

The snow is crap - didn't realise you have to buy the grass back. That's just rubbish.

Have been over to the other thread and I've learnt about Mastery of stuff you grow. I used to just make patterns of different coloured stuff. Now I'm taking it really seriously.

MadreInglese · 10/12/2009 17:14

My mother talks about Farmville like it's RL

"oh I picked my strawberries the other day"

"in December?"

"on Farmville dear"

Awassailinglookingforanswers · 10/12/2009 17:16

current thread is here - I've just started a new "general" one for all Facebook gaming addicts fans (which is linked to from the original thread)

MI - I do that too

oh, what is it with the mastery? i thought you just got pretty signs?? my sun flowers are taking ages to get mastered!!

my friends dad went on holiday in turkey, the woman in the shop was on FV in her lap top - she coudlnt speak english but he managed to get the message across by pointing to his face and making a book gesture - she laughed, apparewntly

We are all going to be drones!!

If you harvest enough crops then you get stars underneath the picture on the 'menu' of things to buy. No idea what happens when you get the stars though.

Sunflowers - ooh get you, I'm only on level 18. I can't even do grapes yet.

I'm such a loser I've only got 5 friends.

MrsVik · 10/12/2009 17:33

I made myself late for an ante-natal appointment because my raspberries were almost ready and I knew that by the time I got back they would have been ruined.

I deleted the application that same night!

Awassailinglookingforanswers · 10/12/2009 17:36

Ijustwant - level 35 is very good.

Offers up her own level 47

navyeyelasH · 10/12/2009 17:37

I'm also an addict and I've mastered a few things but you don't seem to get anything other than a sign!

potplant · 10/12/2009 17:38

MrsVik, I admire your willpower.

Christmas Crunch, what is Christmas Crunch? Am I missing one?

You do realise you are all very sad and need to get a life. Is there not enough to do with Christmas coming up? I don't know how you all find the time, I really don't.

(Ijustwantto - do i have you as a neighbour?)
