Facebook + Dragons + No Life = Dragon Wars

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

Recently I have become addicted to Dragon Wars on Facebook, does anyone else play this other then the members of my alliance (Alicia and Ben)? If you have little to no life and like meaningless repetitive tasks for no real outcome other then total dorky dragonery, then join up!

I have something dragon-related on my Facebook, but iirc it might be called My Pet Dragon. Send me an invite to Dragon Wars, I'll join up!

I'm sorry, but I routinely delete or ignore app requests on Facebook.

If more than 5 app notifications appear in the Live Feed from any friend in one day, I routinely delete them.


See, I was originally "sold" on Facebook because my friends alleged that it was the more mature, not-so-kiddie alternative to MySpace.

Imagine my confusion when I check into Facebook and see adults throwing snowballs, playing Tetris, playing mobsters, or otherwise cluttering up a useful social networking engine....and worse, unlike everything else, the app notifications ("So-and-so just scored X in Tetris!" "Your friend just got 80% on some lame quiz!") CAN'T be filtered out.

So, yeah, I'm a bit underwhelmed at Facebook's maturity.

Yeah I wish I could filter out app notices.

I'm with Pellaz. I think the FB phenomenon is amazing. It has been taken over by adults, and the ability to reach out to people long though lost is pretty nice. However, I too ignore every single request for passing drinks, or sea creatures, or snowballs, etc. The only groups I've joined are community ones like old school and work. I still like it though. I heard that FB enrollment was up 588% last year. Like I said, adults taking over. I'm wondering how long before the kids are on the next big thing?

I won't install one because they can access your private information.

Bingo.

I just play pet dragons on FB. I also have a few metal gifts apps.

 

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

I dont really have anything that personal on there. Spam goes to the spam folder and thats that.

You can change your profile settings to disallow access to private info from Networks and applications. But really, what kind of private stuff would you put on Facebook anyway? "Oh no, someone might read my ranting blog about my boss!" I don't put anything on the internet that I wouldn't want to get out.

Ian - you should check out Hammerfall. That's a bit more interactive than Dragon Wars (I like it better). In fact, join my group so I can go on the next quest! lol
Yeah, so FB has a lot of silly things on it. Since when is it bad for "grownups" to have some fun now and then? Sheesh.

Exactly the reason I lasted on Facebook less then a week. Besides the horrendous layout, all those apps were beyond annoying.

The even more ridiculous part is that Facebook doesnt let anyone physically cancel, or remove their account. I had to wipe all my info, put in false info, and I can say that I will never care to return to the site ever.

People say Myspace is bad IMO Facebook is a hell of a lot worse.

If you go to settings you can deactivate your account.
