I was surprised that there are many notifications in my facebook account. I rushed to open them but it was all invites to play some of the apps or games in facebook. I was really annoyed receiving such invites since I was not used to play games (except farmville which I already stopped playing about a year ago).
I just kept on blocking new game invites on my facebook. I do use my account for social purposes only and not for playing games.
How about you mylotters, do you fond of playing facebook games? Good day!

Hello asdomencil
Everyday I receive a new notifications from my facebook account. I played farmville, farmtown and fishtown before but I stopped playing about a year ago too. Six months ago I enjoyed Ravenwood but I quit. For now, I used my facebook for social purposes maybe I will be interested in any games soon..:)

Same here, before i used to play farmville and family feud. But I realized that there are much better things to do rather than consuming my time. Now, I just blocked the game whenever I received one.

Now, instead of maintaining the games, I used to crochet the orders in our mini-online business. That was more worthy than playing facebook games.

OH! yeah, I guess that's the best thing to do since we don't have much time about that. I agree! Instead of wasting our time in games better devote our time here in mylot. It's more fun.!
On the other hand, some of my friends play facebook games but that's their choice.

I try and stay away from games as it is just such a waste of time(which I don't have any really to waste). What is your best Facebook game and do you ever use real money?

I totally agree with you. I used to play farmville and Family feus before during my breaktime but now, I use my spare time in a much productive ways like doing crafts or crocheting to be sold in my wife's online shop.
With regards to your question, I never used money in playing games.

woah you can do crochet? that is so cool. well, doing those games isn't so bad for you then!
I got some friends from those games I played.and I bet so did you. it will be easier for you to sell your things for your online shop.
@Teamcholent ah and never use real money in playing online games. it;s useless and non productive. cause the game literally endless. e.g. there will be another featured things after you purchased one. so yeah endless.

kyrararen, yes I do crocheting.
I think you got a point there that you can use those friends in selling the products online. Thanks for that great idea.

I played it because for me it used to relieve stress. However, in the long run I got already bored and never visited it again.

Yes, sometimes, those invites were also send to me by the same person. I don't think they are annoyed by your non-reactive response to their invites since they keep on sending you invites.

fb games are time wasting things.
the most annoying thing is getting games requests .

Very true. I realized that I just wasted my time in harveting crops in farmville. There are more things better done compared to farmville.

I am a hardcore gamer somehow. But I find the games offered in Facebook are not really that entertaining and addictive. I could not spend much time on them. I do get a lot of invitation just like you did but never really entertained them. I still prefer the proper games with good graphics, story, gameplay etc rather than mini games on Facebook. Guess if game providers on Facebook want me to play their games, they would have to improve the game a little.

I once addicted to farmville but that was couple of years ago. Now, i used to decline all the invitations to me. Furthermore, I blocked some of the games invitations. Like waht you said, it is still good to play the one that has good graphics and stories.
Your observation is good about the makers of the games if they are playing them too. I bet not. hehehe

I do not play games on face book and all my friends know this, as it seems pointless to me, as there are other sites that you can play games on and get points to claim real prizes.
I tend to ignore all the invites that I get not unless some one needs me to be added so that they get coins for the game they like to play, like my sister in law.

Before, I used to ignore those invites but it keeps on showing on my notifications the invites of the same games by the same people. Now, I used to block the games so that there are no more notifications to be received. I am not fond of playing games anymore in facebook and any onther online games.

Just like you, before i used to play farmville and really consumes most of my free time and even there are chances to peek on the said game, I used to do it, but when I heard of this site, mylot, I used to stay here during my free time. I don't know what they can get in playing games in facebook which earns them nothing except relaxation and fun.

nope. I am not fond of playing facebook games. it is addictive and endless. it makes me tired and hard to be away from facebook.
same with you I use my facebook acc to keep my in contact with my friends.
I block those games so it wont flood my notification.
if I didn't do that, I would find it hard to keep news from my friends.

You are right, it was really addictive. I once adicted to farmville which I used to know most of the tricks and use my breaktime in harvesting the crops. But now, I used to get bored and use facebook for updates and communication with friends.

I am pnly annoyed when I saw the notifications and rushed in opening then since I thought it was an important one only to find out that it was invites to a game. Now, I just let my facebook messenger open where I used to get the notification.

You are right, it really annoys me especially when I logged in to my account that there are lots of notifications. I rushed to open them only to find out that these are invites to games. Now everytime I received invites, I just ignore them.

we have the same. everyday I received a lot of notifications from my friends inviting me to play flash Facebook games like tetris, farmville to name a few. Actually before I have tried it but It's not my forte. I could waste my time playing Facebook games all day that's how I said it to my self. Instead of playing game I just do my job here. although it's fun but I think it's not suited at my age - though I'm 25.

Before, I r4eally get addicted to farmville which consumes most of my time. But after I realized that I have already forgot some of my task at work because of the said games, blocked them and never tried re-open them. Instead of using my spare time in such time-consuming things, I do use it in a more productive ways like mylotting or crafting.

I used to play farmville too and pet society when I discovered that facebook has games. But now, I'm not fond of playing with them anymore. I got tired. :D But I still play scrabble and tetris from time to time. I also get some invites from my friends but I just ignore it.
