Extra - separate account for FaceBook Games -- to allow unknown neighbors in

My dear daughter sometimes likes to play PetVille, Yoville, and Farm ville in FaceBook games. Since the games need as many neighbors as possible to help you create your dream farm or house, i am very hesitant to add new friends in my account. So what i did was create for her, her own FB account. It contains no personal data and only 2 pictures of our kitten. Now she has many neighbors from accounts of other FB fans. Accepting them as neighbors permits us to open their FB acct and see their personal pictures. People and faces we don't even recognize.
For me, my FB account is to connect friends and family members living far away. I do not like others to see my photos and comments, others whom i do not know. FB is like my personnal album, we don't show our personnal album to strangers and the whole World, do you?
How about you .. do you also enjoy some FB Games? do you use your FB normal acct or do you think it is better to create an Extra Acct solely for FB Games? I would like to hear your thoughts and comments ...

I started playing a few of the games, but I found them "boring", so I declined everything but receiving hearts. I've found since I've been MyLotting that I rarily go to my FB account. Well, maybe not rarily, but about once a week. The only reason I go now is to see if my friends and family have posted new photos or videos. I don't block my account, but maybe I should, since all I really want to see is the friends and family I approved.

I don't really play very many games on facebook. But the few friends I do have have sent me neighbor requests. I've played farmville once, but because I need the sound to play games I have to do it when george isn't around. Which is not as often as I would like sometimes. I am not paranoid, so I use my regular account for whatever I do on facebook which isn't all that much anyway.

I used to love playing facebook games. After some months I lose interest in playing as I have already gotten used to the strategies and tactics of it. Now I only play a couple and lessened my playing already. I didn't create another account for that because I have plenty of friends already playing it so I do not need strangers to invite anymore.

I used to play Mafia Wars on Facebook but I have stopped playing Facebook games now, since they changed a lot of their format. I don't have any personal information visible on my Facebook now, I changed it a while ago, but did think about setting up a new account purely for games

I play tons of games on FB. I don't have a separate account for my games and my personal though. I can see where a separate FB for games could be a good thing for younger children or private people.
