I had been planning to get a new ccard for a while, so I signed up for a Discover card to get BPs. When I called in to activate my new card, suffice to say I wasn't prepared with a good answer when they guy asked me what interested me about discover card (why I applied for the discover card over some other kind of card). Heh. He was a good sport, made it sound like he was laughing with me and not at me when I laughingly explained that it was to get points for a facebook app.

How the hell do you get brownie points?! I know of people who have hundreds of them, and I can't even seem to get 20. Is there a way to complete those offers without going through 10 minutes of clicking "no" to all of these companies, only to get absolutely nowhere?

I'm frustrated.
i'm pretty pissed off
i did the posterpass.com thing, and ordered 4 posters for $16 and got somewhere between 150 and 200 BPs
kept waiting to get a confirmation or receipt page, but nope- nothing

a couple days later, i got my posters. today i came home after being gone since friday, and there was another box of posters on my porch, so i checked my bank account. for the last 3 days, they've withdrawn $40 a day from my checking account!! what the HELL? so i called to have the charged refunded....the website says 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed. ... Our goal is your complete satisfaction. ... If you are not satisfied with any particular item you are sent, simply send it back for a refund, no questions asked. After we receive your returned items, your credit will be issued within 10 days.but the jackass i talked to kept saying "we don't give refunds" "the website hasn't been updated" "did you have any other questions?"

SO -if you do posterpass.com, call INSTANTLY and cancel!!

keep hitting refresh and see if it gives you different people?

and lol @ one girl's comment when the site was down....it was "sl is down for maintenance, try poker {or whatever it was}, oh, kill me now!"


one little teeny bopper last night attacked me, slapped me like 10 times and burn-listed me after she told me that my avatar looked like the girl with the most votes on the catwalk

Right, but you also said you could only fight people your level or higher, which was incorrect.

......on the fight list. I guess I should have put "in regards to the fight list" or whatever at the beginning of my comment. But I was strictly talking about the fight list.

Honestly, the levels really don't make that much of a difference other than you might have a higher paying job and you'll have a couple more skill points. If there's someone around your level with a smaller house, bookmark their profile and come back to it when the fight page is full of people who have bigger houses.

I'm at level 98 with around 190 members--everyone my level has 500+. I've been sinking all of my skill points into popularity. When I need influence points, I take a trip to the spa to boost my confidence, and I'm immediately attacked by people who see the low house number. About half the time, they lose and I get the influence.

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!
