Are you one of those people who get addicted with several facebook games such as farmtown, Farmville, pet society, pet sabotage etc. How did it affect your time and how did you overcome the addiction?
As for me, it was a year ago when I and my husband get addicted with farmtown. It was fun from the start. We enjoyed building our farm and even had a competition which farms looks well. As we enjoyed it, it also took a lot of our time. I remember my husband force himself to wake up during midnight just to harvest some crops. Lol.
I was the first one who stopped playing. One reason was, it was really time consuming. There are some things that needs my attention but were taking for granted because of this game. Eventually I get bored. And after that, I didn’t dare to start a new game on facebook to avoid addiction.
How about you, can you share your addiction experience with facebook games?

I used to be, but I got bored with it. I only plat family feud because it test your thinking skills. Before, my mom get pissed of at us. When she reach home from work why just ignore her because we are so busy playing. So she will set up the table so we can eat. she will call us many times but we ignore her and continue to play. One time she got really mad and she slammed the door and lock herself. She did not talk to me for the whole night...

I used to be a game addict on Facebook. I would play everyday and lots of hours. I would play Farmville, Mafia Wars, Petville, Frontierville, Cafeworld, Social City, My Town, and other games. I would stop playing around 5am to sleep. Even when I have school the next day I would still play lots of hours that night. Of course I noticed I've been wasting so much time on playing games and also I got bored, so I stopped playing. Now I have more time to do other things like study, reading books, and mow I waste my time on making money on the internet than just playing games instead.

I noticed that all facebook games are really addictive, and I think that's because each game requires you to play regularly in order to keep playing. If you stop playing for even a day, it will really affect your game negatively and you won't be able to catch up with your friends who are also playing the game. That's the reason why I pick games that are low maintenance, but I still end up getting addicted anyway __

I used to be addicted with few games on facebook two years ago but but none of those games you mentioned above I've tried to play. I saw many of my friends are still playing with these games. And they are so addicted.
The games that I used to get addicted with were tomato bounce, crazy taxi, and speed racing lol :D But I eventually got bored because I played with them every single day when I have time to relax after a long day at work. I would fancy to play with these games again sometimes but it's really sad that these games are not on Facebook anymore. I'm only playing with my mad millions at the moment, but it is not very fun though.
Happy mylotting :)

I was! Yeah! Mafia Wars, Sorority Life, Farm Tow, Farm Ville, Pet Society, Friends for sale, Buddy Poke and a lot more. That was when my computer at home is fine, but since that I moved out to another place I can't bring the computer because my brothers are using it. Well, I have my own notebook, but it was under repair for a long time. I finally have it repaired, but I don't have internet connection yet. How sad?! I can have my facebook open here in the office, but applications are blocked and I don't have flash to access it. :( Poor me!

Once, I was a Mafia Wars Maniac. I always played it whenever i had time. As I enter college, I got bored fast to Mafia Wars that i stopped playing that game. I mean, there are still more games out there, why stick to Facebook games??

Playing games on facebook is maybe the most boring thing on Earth. Stupid games that make you do stupid things such as FarmVile, MafiaWars... that is just the worst thing you can do in internet. If I want to waste my time I prefer to turn on any real computer game that can serve you more pleasure that playing the worst games in internet.
