Mafia Wars on facebook

post #1 of 67
Thread Starter 
Isn't this insanely addictive? I started on Tuesday. It's really good to play inside an otherwise stupid network.
Any thoughts?

BTW PM and add me if you want.

Whhaaaa?? Myspace????

I'd find this a lot less frustrating if I wasn't getting ganked all the time. It seems like everytime I log on I've either been attacked or my properties have been robbed.

Is this from the same people that made Dope Wars?
post #5 of 67
If one more person sends me some bullshit related to this game I'm going to give them concrete boots and dump them into a vat of used motor oil.

These kinds of apps are what take away from the greatness of Facebook.
It's annoying as fuck.

Half.

I would remove EVERY facebook application.
Have it only be a way to get in contact with people, share status, links, pictures and stuff like that.
Everything else sucks.
post #10 of 67
The part about "contact with people, share status, links, pictures and stuff like that" seems like the horribly boring part to me.

It seems like none of you even like Facebook. Why do you have them?

Uggh. I joined this app to appease my brother, now I get messages from everybody "Thanks for joining my mob" "You helped so and so with some stupid robbery".

I didn't join your mob. Leave me alone. Fuck this app.
post #21 of 67
Yeah. Knowing Anderson masturbates while wearing a Flashdance T-shirt is one thing, but seeing it is another. Especially if he was tagged by his friend Boris.
post #22 of 67
Thank you for confirming the wisdom of my decision to decline any form of participation with Mafia Wars.

Probably to use it as the social networking tool it was designed to be instead of the mess of poorly-designed quizzes, unsolicited ads for apps no one needs, time-waste-oriented games, and "five favorite" lists that it's become. Just a guess.

I only use Facebook on my iPod. So instead of participating in quizzes and apps like Mafia Wars, I simply observe friends' status updates - as they incessantly take quizzes and request random objects. Hasn't made me want to log onto Facebook from my computer.
post #25 of 67
I use it to see if any of the girls I went to high school with stayed hot. Number that did: FEW.
post #26 of 67
a lot of mine turned out to be WAY hotter than they were in HS. Fuckers.
post #27 of 67
I'm likely catching them at a later point in the curve.

Also, if you hate the constant quizzes, learn about the "hide" feature. You can hide a kind of quiz or the person taking them. I hide two quizzes from the same person, then I just hide the person. Works like a charm.

It's about 17 years out for my class, and I have to say that the vast majority of my classmates (male and female) I've seen on Facebook actually look as good or better. Of course, this is based largely on photos that they've posted, themselves.

Attn: Girls with married names I went to high school with.

I barely remember who you are to begin with, so you better include that maiden name.

Scratch that, if you're married, leave me alone. I didn't like you any way.

I've started to see a few people take the quizzes one step further and actually create one about themselves. Now is the point of these to stump the test taker, thus indicating that they don't know you at all, really? Isn't that kinda sad, learning that nobody really knows you?

Either that or it's empowering if you've convinced yourself that you're an elusive, rebellious iconoclast who can't be pinned down, even by your closest friends who will never, ever be able to guess whom your favorite Saved By the Bell character was. Which is sadder in a far more profound way.

I noticed this too, but then again some of the ones I grew up with kinda fell apart when they got pregnant/married in high school.

Yeah, I still don't get this. I don't even care enough about myself to make one, and I'd hope other people would give me the same courtesy.

I'm loath to play the old man card here, Jake, but it gets ever so much worse. You have yet to see the depths to which your class will sink--male and female.

While I like Facebook, and Mafia Wars, all the religious shit my 'friends' post irks me. I wish there was a way to 'point and laugh' instead of 'like' something.

There is...it's called 'Delete My Account'.

I've got an old friend from high school who keeps posting quotes from Carlin and Hicks and doesn't attribute them. Then he gets all these comments telling him how great and funny he is.

I might just hate him now.

Even worse - coming up with something amusing and getting asked "WHERE IS THAT FROM!??!?!" I'm all like "Shit, people, give me some credit, I do have fleeting moments of non-stupidity." It's only like two of 'em so far, but still.

Someone (in a Wired article, I think) described Facebook as a cornucopia of uselessness, and I agree. However, being able to play Scrabble with my friends across the country is worth all the lame crap that gets sent my way.
post #39 of 67
I get terribly self conscious about facebook and I hate sending stuff to other people so if you ever get requests from me it's because I clicked the wrong thing. I don't really care how many famous horror film titles you can guess.

Seriously. I've had some pathetic son of a bitch attacking me non-stop every time I'm not dead and robbing all my shit otherwise for the past few days. Same guy, constantly. Real fucking ugly, molester looking bastard too.

Enjoyment: minimal.

I'm now in regular (and even occasionally meaningful) contact with people I haven't seen in years. It's far from useless if you know how to exploit its strengths and avoid its weaknesses.

This right here. I am fucking addicted to Scrabble (or Lexulous or whatever the hell they call it) thanks to Facebook. Seriously. Like, if I don't play for a day, I get the shakes and start seeing spiders.


I need help.

And the great thing about Facebook is that it is a highly adjustable cornucopia of uselessness. You can choose to block things you don't like and block invitations from people and only keep the shit that interests you, so really once you've customized enough it becomes your own very personalized little corner of the internet where you can waste time in peace.

So it's MySpace.
post #46 of 67
No, it's not. That's because facebook doesn't shit the bed every four seconds.
post #47 of 67
I don't even know what that's supposed to mean.
post #48 of 67
Facebook isn't as buggy as Myspace is. Or was? Shit it's been a couple of years. Come on, man. I'm not that much older than you.
post #49 of 67
I'm not trying to take a curmudgeonly stance by saying that "social networking" via the internet is passé, just that I've never had a Facebook or been to the website so I've had no interaction with it except by proxy when people are telling me how much they hate it while their eyes stay glued to it for five hours a day. My question is why are people seemingly addicted to a product that they do nothing but complain about around the clock. Sure, some things are necessity, but I'm a 23 year old getting by just fine in the digital age without a place to show the world how my eclectic tastes make me the most unique snowflake of all, or getting in contact with people I sort of remember from third grade.

And yet, you have a twitter.
