This post is disparaging other players for "house farming" - that is, building lots of identical houses to maximize cash payouts on a regular schedule. i.e., optimizing.

I just thought this might be a fun data point to refer to next time one of those oh-so-insightful threads pops up...You know the ones I mean


I would say crashing the game is more of a problem than optimizing.

Yeah but that wasn't the point the poster was making. They were objecting to the aesthetics or the "fairness", not concern for crashing the game.

**TWACK**

Quiet you!

I couldn't make it more than 5 posts in - people telling other people how to play their app games is just a little too low on the scale of 'things I am trying to give to a rat's ass about'. Considering the first poster has, as his sig, "Quit for good got boring' I would say this is a problem that solves itself. I am consistently amazed at how much people care about how other people spend their time.

Pretty much this.

Couldn't have said it better PsychoticWarrior. At least in tabletop games another person's playstyle differences can directly affect you, but this is really beyond the pale. What's the old quip about Puritanism - "the fear that someone, somewhere, is having a good time"?
