If you're wondering why I'm orange, it's because I am now a Bouncer (moderator). If you're looking for "how to" help, then feel free to ask or head on over to the Support Lounge. Many questions are answered in the Fubar Bible.
If you need help, then don't be shy, just send me an SB (this doesn't include asking for free bling or credits, or even help with rent as I was asked the other day) or pop into the support lounge and ask there.
I often add people to my Fam when I'm running to help them get an Achievement or level. I'm also happy to help by sending drinks and stuff, but please remember, I am pretty lazy :)
If you need achievements, feel free to do whatever to my profile, I don't take things personally :)
ABOUT MY FAMILY
I get highly irritated when Fam members don't bother rating, interacting, or running for weeks on end. I know some people don't play every day, but there are few excuses for not doing anything. If you find yourself dropped from my Fam, then this is quite likely the reason
I don't ask for a lot from my Fam. If you drop me from your Fam for any reason, expect similar ;) Unless we know each other and/or chat regularly, I will only do a temp swap. I DO NOT buy or sell Fam spots, please don't ask.
If I see an "Invite Back" on your profile, I may remove you. If this happens and you come back, please get in touch so I can pop you back in.
There are a few hundred people who have me in their Family, I try to include as many as I can on a rotational basis if they are online when I run PowerUps. If you find yourself being moved in and out of my Family, then this is probably the reason why.
If you need help with likes or rates to level, then I'm usually happy to pop you into my Fam to help out. I do not buy or sell Fam spots, ever ;)
If you want to know how to calculate the bonus points, see my blogThings that piss me off:* Begging. In any form. We are all going for achievements, so asking for stuff to make an achievement seriously doesn't impress. Or, "Anyone love me enough to send me blah blah blah." This is my number one irritation at the moment.
* Locked Bling - These days, there are very few reasons to lock bling except to stop people from making their achievements. The KEY Bonus works whether the bling is locked or not.
If you need to know what the RARE BLIND BOX bling looks like, I have a Photo Album originally titled Rare Blind Boxes with photos of most of them - I got bored and stopped adding them in 2020 :)
ABOUT ME"
I'm a British expat living and working as an editor and proofreader in Italy, so if I seem a little slow when you SB me, it's probably because I haven't had enough coffee to wake up properly.
I'm a great believer in Karma; help someone out, and when you need it, you will get help back.
I have a very eclectic range of interests. I love literature and published a book way back in 2008 (all about my destructive puppy). I enjoy watching movies or reading. I like intellectual challenges, in fact, challenges of any sort. I play the guitar, although some of my friends might argue that point.
I have a few things I'm passionate about; firstly dogs (well any furry animals to be honest), then motorbikes, enjoy rebuilding them as well as riding them, and guitars - I try to play every now and then to the disgust of my friends.
If you do contact me can you please use English rather than text speak. I struggle to understand it, and to be honest, I can't be bothered most of the time
THINGS TO NOTE: Congrats for reading this far :D
* As I get older, I find I have less patience with idiots. If you're one, please don't friend me
* Just because I Like and Rate you, doesn't mean I want something from you. Sometimes I Like and Rate over 1,000 people a day.
* I hate seeing persistent begging in my feed. If I see it too much from someone, I will simply unfan and unfriend. If you send me a direct message begging or offering to sell me nudes, I will block you as well.
* My Family actually mean something to me, it's rarely maxed out. I will add people to help them out if I'm running stuff, but I will likely remove you if I'm not added reciprocally ;) I have a clear-out every now and then of people who've promised so much and delivered so little (or often, nothing at all).
* I'm afraid I don't have time to read any messages that may be in drinks. Actually, if I'm honest, I just can't be arsed. But if you have something to say to me, feel free to Chat/message me, I always reply. Sometimes my chat fills up pretty quickly, so if your message is important, then it's best to message me rather than use chat.
* SBing me with details of your lounge irritates. I'm not interested, please don't spam my SB
* If I buy you Bling, it's because I want to, you don't need to Bling me back.
* I will try to help anyone if I am able. If you need help with Achievements or leveling, then either SB/Chat or Message me.
* My profile often shows me online but I'm often not. I am generally on before and after Fu reset.
* Not a golden rule, but I rarely chat with people under 35; I just don't have much in common. Although, I'm more than happy for friends of any age.
* If I make a Friend Request, it's because I like your profile or something you've posted.
