I'm Lurking On The Book.

Playing facebook games....I don't do it. More power to those that do. It's not like I've never wanted to start my own farm, but if I do, I'll probably just pillage some land, and really start a farm in some unsuspecting family's front yard.

There's one of my friends who has my entire news feed, playing like 4 different games. I've got to hide her. And, I mean, some of you see how I operate on the Book, I've been known to update my status a time too many, in an attempt to make fun of twitter, and because I'm often surrounded by the finest foods and women (last part of that is debatable...), but I'd like to think of myself as a Facebook purist. No games, etc.

Anyone else?

In other news, I think I've started more threads on Freehuddle already that I started on JJ's in the past year.

I refuse all game or application requests on facebook. I absolutely hate them.

I block/refuse all game things and rarely do more than glance-n-snicker at apps my friends do. I reply or like my share of friend status updates, but care as little about other "content" as I did the old site's "content".

I won't be playing any Facebook games until Civilization Network comes. It's the next Civilization game from Sid Meier.

There are some cool applications but most are pretty trivial.

Don't play any games or use any apps. People are pissing me off using the stupid best friend app that makes a picture of your best friends. It is like 3/4 of the feed.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

True. That one just started popping up for me like 2 days ago, and it's getting out of hand already. It'll probably die down fast, but, yeah....crazy.

I play Farmville, Mafia Wars, Mobster 2 and the two Fish Farm games. Taht's it. I've cut back considerably.

I don't play Facebook games. Facebook games are for queers.

Don't play the games, but you have to be careful with some of the apps. A lot of them are viruses.

I am adamantly against Facebook and MySpace. I think it is a government conspiracy to keep tabs on us!! ;)

There's some game on there right this second involving a bus full of orphans.

I know this, because on my news feed it states that one of my friends just had a bus break down that was just filled to the brim with orphans.

WTF.

I could see me playing this, actually, if it's gonna be a FB game! I remember playing the original Civilization on my computer back in the day and enjoyed that game, so I wouldn't mind seeing what this one is like.

I just recently got onto facebook. These things annoy me. I have two family members who I am friends with that I wish I may have said no. Every two seconds they buy a cowboy vest or hoe their garden or buy a tractor or whatever.
