The new feature on farmville is a cooperative, where you can join your friends and plant/harvest crops in a specific period of time, it is a group challenge and it is fun. I have joined many, I started others. It is always a laugh.
Last week I joined Anida's coop. Anida worked with me in New Zealand, and when she decided to move to another city, I helped find a job there. Soon after, she had a gorgeous baby girl and I sent her some gifts. We were not friends, but we had a good relationship, closer than I had with most of my team members.
I joined, the coop, the program crashed and I was unable to harvest my crops or plant anything new.
Next morning, I get a very rude message asking me why did I go to her farm if I was not even planting the same crops as her (the question was pertinent, but the tone was dreadful). When I tried to reply, I found she deleted me from her list of friends. Let me be clear here. She did not delete me from the game. She deleted me from her network on facebook.
I was disappointed and sad. Since then I lost my interest for the games. I am not prepared to deal with fanatism or obsession. It is just a game!
That is a truly sad story - disappointing-sad, bizarre-sad and just sad-sad. I wonder whether someone like that would've turned on you about something eventually, and it just happened to be a Facebook game, or whether you're right in suggesting that it was the obsession with the game that led to such abrupt behaviour.
