Ok, but seriously...

...i'm not a huge fan of Social Network Games.
But we'll get to that.

I actually have played something compareable once. And it was quite fun!

Our tale begins in the early ages of the internet...
Or at least what they were for us. I't was around the time all the kids in the neighbourhood, inclouding myself, finally got connected to the outside world from their home computers.

And with this new connectivity came a whole new age of procrastination. Wasting time on the internet became a serious part of our lifes, and sadly, it still is...
...but it's fun as well. I bet millions of cat-video-watchers can second that!

But thats not the point, got a little off track there...
Well, my friend started out playing some text-based browser game called "Inselkampf", or Island War, roughly translated. What sounds pretty lame soon got us all addicted. And similar in fashion to todays network games, to keep up and get better you'd have to come back every couple of hours to give new orders.
In the game every player started out with one island, where he could start to build a civilisation, supply food and rough goods, and so on. Once you got that rolling you can start building ships and prepare for war. Aim was it, to invade other players, conquor more and more islands and expand your territory. Once destroyed you would always have to start over again, so after some time it got pretty tough for newcomers.
We didn't care since we were big enough already.

But then somehow came the time it got out of hand. Players got huge and formed alliances with other big players. It consumed more and more of our time, and nevertheless the day came whey 20 players simultaneously attacked you to literally destroy all your efforts.



did you get that point right there? that was the point my online gaming carreer died.


sure i tried out some mini games, but nothing serious from that point on.

But thats not the reason i hate social network games. After all it was fun while it lasted...



The real, one and only reason is people spamming your newsfeeds and even your private wall with countless posts. once and for all:

I won't adopt the bird and im sure as f*** not gonna help you in your mafia war.
