hear, hear--I second that!!

Raymond, I play 8 games daily, most of those games end up with me getting a minimum of 40 requests per game. Here, I get between 20-30 requests per day, so I try to cycle through all of the requests as fast as possible so I can play, since I have limited time online due to kids and my lovely wife. The House Decorating Contest is one of the few requests that throw me into the game, so I can't just click it and then hit the back button. Does this explain why I want that?

Thanks for the support Ruth!

I do open my requests and try to delete the House Deco Contest, but I usually miss 1 or sometimes I get 1 while I am moving through the requests, and yes they do pop up in my game request area before the little facebook notification thing pops up for me, in case you are wondering. I don't block Bushwhacker because it it an easy way for me to select who I am sending Giant requests to and I don't think the Giant quests can be done through Sasha. I am usually playing BW right before I put my son to bed or when my wife puts him to bed and falls asleep with him and my daughter is in my lap, so either way, I usually have a kid in my lap "helping" me, so things get overlooked or the quickwhack gets hit before I can power up to hit a monster or bush or I use a spell when there is 1 bush of that spell level and 5 of the next level up, etc, etc, etc. IF I had more time, this wouldn't be a huge concern, though I do find it annoying, especially when I tell folks in advance that I do not vote for that crap. Hell, I would even be happy if you could just go to an area to vote on the houses, they have that option in another game I play, only you go to vote on cars, lol.

This is why you shouldn't add so many people, especially people you know nothing about. I only had one person who would bug me to vote for them, and I'm guessing they either won or gave up because I no longer get notifications from them.

It should be a given that the mass-adding of strangers is going to result in problems. Bush Whacker, unlike most games doesn't not provide an over-abundance of incentives to mass-add strangers, so I really don't think it's fair to try to pin this problem you've created on the developers.

I think a limit on how many time's someone can ask the same person to vote for their house is needed. I do take part in the house contest, But some people overdo it by asking several time's a day, Which is annoying.

Some player's may want to take part in the house contest, But not get several request's from 1 or more player's they have added.
The "I remember telling someone else about this when they were whining that the Giant request does not have a 'any more requests' button." person was me. And i certainly was'nt whining about it, I was hoping the dev's would read the post and and add it to the one request where this does not appear.
There's only one whining old git here and that's you, GET A LIFE!

@ Dave, thank you for the support!
@Ruth, I like your style!
@ Raymond, that is why you have people here go off on you!! Raymond, you are capable of being a very nice person and you always try to help out, yet you also sound like you believe you are either smarter than everyone else or that everyone on here is in kindergarten. If you read my 3rd reply on here, posted December 8th at 9:59 pm, what you said is covered and answered. As you have said, you get 0, yes, Z-E-R-O, requests for this. You might change your tune if out of that 100 friends who play BW, you had at least 33 of them sending you multiple requests per week, let alone per DAY. Yes, you, I quote, "only ever click on the Giant ones since that's important to help with, this is the only way. All the daily spin ones I ignore, not worth the time." You are not in my shoes or the 4 others who agree with me and you either didn't read my other posts or didn't comprehend them, so you sit here and talk down to me and everyone who disagrees with you. Why? Now Raymond, I didn't get mad, I treated you as an intelligent person who couldn't see why myself & others might want this and tried to answer every question you asked as in depth as possible. Now I freely admit, it is a feature wish of convenience to make my life easier, but so what? I am not crying and whining that it is unfair. I am not saying the Devs are lazy. I am not saying that it should be this way across the board for everyone. All I am asking for, in the FEATURE REQUEST section, is something that would give me a bit more CHOICE and make my life easier. Where is the harm in asking for that? If I apply simple logic to your statements and to Nate's statements, why do you need a remote control for your devices? Why do you need a phone to call people? Why do you need facebook to play games? Why do you need a car for that matter? You can just walk to whatever you need to do. Making our lives easier or better has been the driving force behind most of the inventions you currently live with and enjoy! Here is the response you missed or ignored to your statement of, " If you willy nilly click every game request then of course you are going to be pushed into things that you don't want to do." I do open my requests and try to delete the House Deco Contest, but I usually miss 1 or sometimes I get 1 while I am moving through the requests, and yes they do pop up in my game request area before the little facebook notification thing pops up for me, in case you are wondering. Raymond, IF you had read the earlier mentioned reply, you would have seen that.

@Raymond & Nate- I am irritated now, you succeeded! For all the good you do helping people, are you both just not happy unless you are starting drama? I ask that you answer that question. Do I come onto your posts and tell you how stupid your ideas are? Do you guys ever, E-V-E-R, read and process the CRAP that spills from your fingers? Do you ever give thought to OTHER people or how they may interpret your words? Or do you feel that since you never actually see any of us, that you can just say what you want, with no filter and no consequence? I ask you both to give serious thought to what I have said and answer me honestly. I would like to understand you both so that I can either avoid getting irritated further by your comments and possibly help others understand that ya'll aren't trying to be asinine or so I can just ignore you both as it appears that you like to instigate trouble. Please, change the way I am starting to view you or learn how to talk to people. If you wish to discuss the pros and cons of an idea, state it! Then people won't want to give you both an Atomic Wedgie!

@Nate, thanks for actually answering my question. I understand how hard it is to translate the thoughts in ones head into words. I do better with it when I write it out, instead of talking. When I am writing, I can take the time to look at, process and refine my thoughts in something more coherent with a lot less rambling. As to your question, I used to tell people straight out when I got an add me request that I didn't do the H.D.C., put after awhile I noticed that very few people noticed or if not that, they just asked me anyways. The ones who ask like once a week, they don't really bother me. Like Dave above is one my friends and I get one from him every so often, which I feel is no big deal. I have a few others who I won't name who hit me up multiple times a day sometimes. I deleted one guy because he would send me one as soon as I logged on AND send me a message asking me to go vote for him within a minute of sending the request. He is actually the one who prompted this post, lol. As to how I get so many, I don't really know beyond maybe just being lucky enough to have a lot of people who try to interact with me within the games I play. I get the bulk of my H.D.C. requests on Mondays, I think & it is probably only 4-8 players who ask. I think it is usually the ones who send me duplicate requests that I end up overlooking, which causes the frustration. I have actually given up on trying to convince people that I am not interested in the H.D.C. and this post was more of a vent for the frustration I felt. As I had told Raymond in an earlier reply, I do open my requests and try to delete the H.D.C., but I usually miss 1 or sometimes I get 1 while I am moving through the requests, and yes they do pop up in my game request area before the little facebook notification thing pops up for me.


Yesterday wasn't a great day for me, so when I stepped in here and saw Raymond being Captain Cranky Pants it made me re-read everything, which in turn made me become Mr. Fussy Britches and we ended up with my rant, lol. I think what sent me over the top, was that I thought I had done a decent job of providing all the information I could to show that it wasn't just a random bit nonsense by my last post on 12/8/2011. When I popped in to see Raymond talkin about willy nilly & sayin there was an idea I wasn't aware of, it was just a match to gasoline. I guess the drama llama bit me on the butt as well, lol. So I guess I am saying that I am sorry for going off on both Nate and Raymond in my last reply. Now hopefully Raymond will pop in here and read this, lol.

"I deleted one guy because he would send me one as soon as I logged on AND send me a message asking me to go vote for him within a minute of sending the request.

If the person is truly doing this to the extent that you are describing (and you're not just exaggerating to make a point), then it sounds to me like they are using a bot, and they should probably be reported/looked into.

Another thing you could do is instead of unfriending him is to 'hide all posts by him'.
I have not done that, and I'm not sure what that really does. If he's a real friend of yours you probably wouldn't want to do that, but if he's just a game playing friend that might be good.
