can't you just play it from http://www.scrabulous.com/ ?

But then don't I need others to sign up to it? I am signed up for enough crap already.

As if g-mail chat isn't distracting enough. I am losing this internet battle.

 

[rettucs]

real people.

not internet people like y'all

I removed super wall, compare your friends, and lots of other stuff. I've also decided to become much harsher when it comes to refusing offers from friends of hugs, flowers, drinks etc. Very liberating to remove all that stuff and get rid of the competitive popularity element.

I just stay for the scrabble. I ignore all requests save from the rain forest thing. I don't believe it, but just in case I accept. I never send anything back though. Virtual hugs, pints, and things like 'rate my freinds' make my heart sad. I'm sure they have an emotion for that too. :heart:

yeah i tend to just ignore all those app invites and shite like that.
just gimmie the basics like.

facebook: 'you have been bitten by a vampire'
me '...........ah fuck off'

 

[cephalopod]

Virtual hug 4 hayworth!

 

[guy of the tiger]

yeah thats it, just ignore all that other shite and it's good.
The chat is handy too.

The only extra thing I have is a pink ribbon breast cancer awareness yoke and I like the 'hug me' thing because its amusing when you get creative.

Wow. I sound like a total fruit.

So let's say that hypothetically, someone you know to be rather bonkers requests a facebook friendship. Let's say that, hypothetically, you're pretty sure that this person just wants to bleed you for information about another person, or use you to maintain a connection you know to be unhealthy and bad.

The long and short of it is: this person is a mental. But do I take one for the team or what? If I take one for the team, it means being uncomfortably close to drama that I've successfully kept at a distance until now. If I don't, it could create more drama for someone else.

Answers on a postcard pls.

set up a limited profile so they can only see certain parts of your page.

Oh yeah, thanks! I'd forgotten about the limited view thing.

I'm still a little worried that she'll notice, but as long as it's not wall posts. Maybe. I dunno. It's more the symbolic value of wanting to keep my distance from a very messy situation. I was briefly hauled into it about a year or so ago, and I cut myself off pretty quickly when I figured out what was happening.

Just ignore the request and say you never got it.

Just ignore the request and say you never got it.

This was my first reaction.

She would have had to search for me, so she might notice, but I'm hoping she won't. If she goes a little bonkers over it (it's kind of likely), is it okay if I blame you? Or we can share the blame. I just bought a book on hiding places. We can find somewhere cool and camp out with camo face paint and helmets with leaves on them.

you can set your profile to private so that you don't appear on any searches.

unless of course she is linked to you via other friends/networks.

 

[Bladez]

I'll take all the blame if you want. I've gotten quite good at dodging these Facebook things. Its easy. Just say you never got it and then mumble something about some technical mumbojumbo that prevents you from doing x and y and curse someone for not enabling that thingamajiggy and that you must get on to them because its purely not acceptable. Appear angry. They'll get bored by your excuse and then you can talk about something else.

 

[rettucs]

yes, I agree. And if you ever meet this person just tell them you don't pay much attention to your facebook account, except to answer messages.

I have a mounting 'pending approval' list. I'm sure I'm in a few peoples too.

 

[jane]

Ok, I'm gonna take the approach of ignoring it and hoping she doesn't notice, and if she does, I'll combine these two approaches -- technocackhandery and facebook not-usingery -- to explain why I didn't notice.

I also have a mounting list of 'pending' people, but this one might not appreciate the pend.

Tanks doods.

So what's this facebook malarky anyway?

It's scrabble and false security.

what "team" are you taking one for?
anyways, just accept their friendship and keep pokeing them or whatever facebookers do until they go away sans information.
