Admit it- do you play Sorority Life?

I started playing this because apparently I needed another way to waste a lot of time.

Anyway, I'm guilty of attacking the same person even if I'm not getting money because I want to move up levels, and I'm still getting the points that let me do that, influence maybe? Is that bad? What am I supposed to be doing if not moving up levels? I'm totally serious. What's the point of the game? I love cartoon yachts as much as the next person, but maybe I don't get what I'm supposed to be doing.

It also never occurred to me to take being attacked personally, and I don't even pay attention to who is attacking me. I figure when I show up with my crazy low house size, I'd attack me too.

Thank you! I think that's why I'm so mad about these brownie points.

I just started playing, and I don't get it. You get 1 brownie point per level, but you have to buy stuff to get more? And what do the levels get you? There's no winner, or anything.

And yes, I also keep attacking the same person even if I don't get money from them (but only if they get me 6 or 7 influence points). Because otherwise, I'll attack them for very few influence points, no money, and then have to make 5 trips to the spa, wasting $4,000 each time I do so.

And how do you even know if someone attacked you?! I just don't keep track... or care.

To be honest, my favorite part of the whole thing is the game under "Socialize" where you get to search for items like 'Where's Waldo'.

Yeah, I like the little games within the game. I wonder if you get more of them when you more up levels. I haven't noticed that, though.

When I logged in this morning I saw a bunch of messages about how today is Crazy Outfit Day. And I am loving it! I have seen some of the ugliest combinations! I would post a link to my own page, but FB is down for me right now. So, I'm in the really tall, ugly italian lace boots, the thanksgiving costume, bunny ears, and heart sunglasses. Blech!

Rho Lambda Gamma is a cute idea! I was only in a house for a day, before I left it because they wanted me to bully people without being able to ask why. Oh, and Wincha isn't a house, she's a player who everyone loves to hate.

You do! You get another "Bejeweled" game and two more (so far that I've gotten--and I'm level 52) of the photo hunt games. One of them costs Brownie Points, though.

ETA: I had saved up nearly $4,000,000 towards the purchase of the Private Yacht and then I reached level 50, where I qualified for a new job, but the training cost for that was 2.5 million! I had to take it (I couldn't make myself not), and now I'm back below a million dollars (people kept stealing my money while I was trying to train for the new job). Sigh.

I figured out a quasi-clever way to make friends...every time my feed tells me someone has attacked me, I go to that person's page and click "Vote" for them. Then when FB tells me I've sent that person a notification, I click on their name, and send them a friend request. Usually they accept, especially if they don't have that many people in their house!

I hear you - I like those and the make 3 item sets games. I could honestly care less about the fighting, outfits, etc etc.

My crazy outfit (for the moment anyway):

Exactly. Again, as I was playing this the other day, I wondered what the point of it is. The only way you get anything significant is by having brownie points, and it takes days for me to even get a couple of those. So yes, I will stick to playing the entertaining games.

I'm slowly over SL.

I have been playing Farm Town more. It's way more fun

I can't do that yet

I've heard you have to have 10 neighbors in order to hire for plowing, but I only have 9.

If any of yall are playing it, let me know. Won't you be my neighbor?

I think I find it more appealing because you're actually doing something... not just clicking a button to "socialize" or "fight" or buy stuff over and over.
