Hard to believe it's been over a month since your comment post and I'm just replying now.

I appreciate all the tips you've relayed in you blog and your helpful comments on specific pages. I'm very sorry for your problems with migranes. I have friends who suffer and I've had boughts during stressful times of my life where I've also had issues. It's not fun and can be debilitating.

In regards to house farming, I see many of my "Friends" farming, but I have not done so. Since I'm new to gaming, I didn't know of this practice prior to setting up my town. At this point, it think I will continue the way I have been. Although, I look forward to your in depth article!

In regards to the Clash of Clones (CoC) event, I haven't been using you " one Nerd per Castle or House"  strategy. I'm kind of doing the oppsite. I pick one house/castle and max out the nerds leaving only one/four hours left to defend then I move on to the next town. I've been doing okay with this method. I wonder if attacking only one house keeps me off the auto-notification radar. Now that the event is almost over, it's all moot.

Thanks again for accepting my Friend request. It's nice actually knowing one of my TSTO friends! So glad that you had a spot open up so you could accept me. A discussion in TSTO friends might be helpful for those who are maxed out. I don't really understand the Facebook friend requests and how that increases you maximum from 100 Origin requests to 200 more via Facebook.

It's weird, I've tried to send Facebook friend requests but the requests sent don't register on the game for some reason (shows no Facebook Friend requests sent). Also, the requests are a pain to send in the first place. Is there a way to copy and paste a message in the request? I'm using my analog phone and I haven't found a way to do so.

At this point, I've only sent one request (yours) and I accept most who send a request. My friends are limited and I don't mind, especially now with the current CoC event preventing us from utilizing the houses for Friend Points (FP) actions. Maybe after the 7th I'll start sending requests for more TSTO buddies.

I agree with you in keeping my all friends in sync. I currently have a few out of since due to the CoC event preventing me from assigning an action. Kinda of a pain. But at one point if I get busy and can't play the game for 24/48 hours (usually when I travel), I'll get everyone back in sync again. I have also found one friend starts the clock and I have used that to my advantage at times.

I  don't bother with attacking my Friends Towns since they get a much lower rate than non-Friends Towns (as you most likely already know):

Friends Towns Reward:  Castle Win = Elixir 25; Gold 10       House Win = Elixir 18; Gold 8

non-Friends Towns Reward:  Castle Win = Elixir 140; Gold 50      House Win = Elixir 70; Gold 25

I'm currently also up to 85 (max at 100) nerds. I wish I knew how many hours it takes for attacking nerds to conquer my house/castle. BTW, your defense is up to 1D1H. When attacking non-Friends I'd blow past you and look for towns with lower defense times so I would utilize less nerds since I generally attack with the maximum nerds to only allow one hour of defense time.

Thanks again for all your help and assistance. Best Wishes!
