Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

Kong76 May 17 2009 11:04 AM

Ok, so we have a face book page. It's called The Crane Pool Forum. Now what do I do?

themetfairy May 17 2009 11:27 AM

Join!

Kong76 May 17 2009 11:30 AM

We did. You can't find it? Two posters found it already.

dgwphotography May 17 2009 11:34 AM

I joined first! - LOL

metirish May 17 2009 11:35 AM

Very cool . I was beginning to think that KC was as Fran Healy would say " an albatross around the neck of progress"...:)

themetfairy May 17 2009 11:36 AM

[quote="Kong76":2sk9hvnh]We did. You can't find it? Two posters found it already.[/quote:2sk9hvnh] I found it, and I joined the page. But I don't see you as a member.

Kong76 May 17 2009 11:52 AM

This is a forum thing, promotional or whatever. I'm getting my feet wet to see what's under the hood and if it can be used to promote the place in some way. We could definitely use some new blood around here. I don't need a Facebook page, I'm pretty boring.

Kong76 May 17 2009 11:54 AM

Question: What is the public url of the forum facebook page to someone not logged in as the owner? I'll put a link up top.

Benjamin Grimm May 17 2009 12:09 PM

The 2008 Presidential thread is the All in the Family of this forum. It spawned a long-running spinoff (Facebook) which now has a spinoff of its own. We can call the Facebook thread Maude and this thread can be Good Times. Or, if this thread goes nowhere, then the Facebook thread is The Jeffersons and this one is that short-lived spinoff that Florence the maid got.

bmfc1 May 17 2009 12:17 PM

On the info page, the URL is wrong (missing an "e").

Kong76 May 17 2009 12:22 PM

Thanks, fixed. Can someone tell what the URL for "non-fans" to get the page? OE: Never mind, found it.

metirish May 17 2009 01:05 PM

OK , so I just did a search for : NY Mets" on facebook and no sign of the new page. I went through eight pages and nothing.

Kong76 May 17 2009 01:48 PM

Google's spiders gotta find it, it's only a couple of hours old. I don't know how well this experiment is going to work anyways. Organizations can't become 'friends' of 'fans' without providing my name and I really don't want to open that door. I've abandoned my anonymity on the internet a long time ago on a bunch of levels but it's to Mets fans and only an asshole sprinkled in from time to time. I don't want my name associated with a place that involves a lot of goofing off and I definitely don't want to hear from people from the past. I have a listed phone number and don't live far from where I grew up if they wanna call me.

One nice thing about a Facebook page is that we now have a go to place for information the next time that this site goes down.

themetfairy May 21 2009 06:57 PM

Thanks to Facebook, I got to meet Mendoza Line today. Thanks Mendoza for introducing yourself :)

Chad Ochoseis May 21 2009 08:40 PM

It was a pleasure meeting the fairy (and I'm going to note here that her son is a fine poet). What was odd was that I couldn't figure out whether I should introduce myself as "Mendoza Line" or my real name. I ultimately went with the more recognizable "Mendoza Line."

themetfairy May 21 2009 08:54 PM

Thanks Mendoza - the kids did a great job today :)

Ok, so some time has passed. My first question is why was the front page all posted up with random pictures? One of me and adhoc Mets stuff no other forumites? http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=8 ... 182&ref=mf I have other questions.

Edgy DC May 29 2009 05:12 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 30 2009 09:57 AM

Each profile has a photo section, and I and one or two others uploaded some of our old forum-related images. They weren't uploaded to the front page, per se, but the front page notes what the last few transactions on the profile have been.

No!

Swan Swan H May 30 2009 09:39 AM

Cooby is a Facebook holdout. I think an intervention is necessary.

Kong76 May 30 2009 12:53 PM

I deactivated my Kevin Crane account. One thing I don't particularly like is that once you "friend" someone they can post pictures on your wall. You can remove them but what if you don't check for three days and you don't ap- prove of the picture. I'll probably cave and make a personal page when I have some time to put some thought into it and try and re-friend with the people who I've actually met in person here. I don't want my online world to collide too much with my past nor present non-online world and I see a whole ton of potential for me personally. Funny, someone mentioned social anxiety disorder (which I don't suffer from much) but I think I have facebook anxiety disorder. I think cooby has no'd me like three times this year.

cooby May 30 2009 02:45 PM

Don't take it personally Kase, I've no'd everybody else too...

Kong76 May 30 2009 02:47 PM

I was joking about that part, thought it was cute actually.

cooby May 30 2009 04:54 PM

Actually, I've "no'd" you since about 2000, hehehe

Kong76 May 30 2009 05:19 PM

Special super cooby powers.

cooby May 31 2009 10:25 AM

I don't want to sound all sanctimonious or anything, though I probably will, and though I don't know how to spell it, but anyway, why do some of you peeps feel you have to go somewhere else to talk to each other when we've been doing perfectly well here for many many years? I don't get it. Not at all. One more thing, if I were an employer and walked by someone's office who was playing with their Facebook Page while they were being paid to be doing something for me, the next time I walked by their office, I'd be holding a Xerox box and a pink slip.

I've only met one CPFer in real life (metfairy & fam in Anaheim a hundred years ago, though I talked to ambler and Duan on the phone one time each, also a hundred years ago). So getting to "meet" these peeps in real life, and see them and their families in a context that's not 100% Mets (it's more like 85% over there) has been very cool for me. Not a substitute for this place or anything, just different. PS - so glad you're not my boss. You woulda pink slipped me years ago.

Kong76 May 31 2009 12:29 PM

Just to be clear so this doesn't turn into anything ... I realize that the forum can't be replaced by facebook in it's current state. I'm largely joking. There are no plans to really try and move there. Maybe my personal situation is a little unique here. Other than my wife, I literally have no family (except her family). All of my old-time friends, people who I am friendly with at work, etc. are so non-online oriented it's mind boggling. One just got his first cell phone a half-a-year ago and that's only because a tenant of his needed him once and couldn't get him and his house almost blew up. My online friends consist 95% of baseball related things -- here and few other places but mostly here. I just feel like putting up a real page with my real name is an invitation to hear from all kinds of people from the last 30 years. My wife gets requests for friending from people in California where she went to high school for a short time before moving back to upstate New York. I guess if it weren't for the Mets, and the pleasant opportunity to meet so many great people over the years because we posted on metsonline or here, I'd probably be much less of a publicly online creature.

Edgy DC May 31 2009 03:28 PM

Top ten thingies I get I get out of Facebook: 1) A chance to play Scrabble. 2) An online contact thing that family uses 3) An e-communication thingie that isn't fattened up with spam 4) A place to catch up with friends from past lives --- I live far away from where I used to. 5) A place to be a smartass. 6-10) I got nuttin'. Storing photos, maybe. I've got a huge friendly competitive streak and I don't have a baseball/softball/ultimate/frolf team or anything or the time to be a reliable member of one. Scrabble is it.

themetfairy May 31 2009 04:55 PM

I've re-connected with a lot of people in my life via Facebook, plus I find it's a good way to quickly communicate with other people. Plus I get to talk about topics there that would probably be shouted down quickly here, since my taste in music, etc. doesn't comport with a lot of people's taste here. Facebook is just another place to hang with people. I lead a very truncated life, and Facebook offers me the opportunity to communicate differently than how I do here. It's a supplement that works for me.

Frayed Knot May 31 2009 06:30 PM

I know two Irish guys in Sydney called Spud. I guess it would be equivalent to knowing two American guys named "Jack". Are you coming to Sydney, Seo?

dgwphotography Jun 01 2009 08:56 AM

I got hooked into facebook about a month and a half ago when my cousin in NJ sent me an invite.. It really took off for me when, right after that, my mom got very sick, and was in the hospital for almost two weeks - it gave me an easy place to keep all of my assorted family and friends all over the country updated.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 01 2009 09:06 AM

Like it for the Scrabble, having re-connected with some old friends (at the price of re-connecting to a bunch of old friends I could have done without ever re-connecting to), and the potential to promote my work, although by the time I got involved in FB, that ship had mostly sailed. I wish there were less dumb shit cluttering up the screen allatime, no offense to you quiz-takers, but that's manageable too and I'm not like some FB douchebags who clutter up your screen complaining about screen clutter. The main thing is, it's all about the stream these days, and the New Socialism, just like they say in Wired Magazine.

Probably not, he's definitely not one of the two guys.

Let me know when you do, we'll go for a surf. If you do come out here, check out Garie Beach. It's one of the best surf beaches around these parts, but is frequently skipped by (surf) tourists because it's out of the way and only locals know it.

Sweet. Thanks for the offer. I'll definitely take you up on it. There are no such things as great surf beaches that are less frequented out here. I'd just have to send you to the Huntington Beach pier and wish you luck. I've got more crap to ask you. I'll pop you a PM later.

[quote="Kong76"]Lazy Facebook Q: Now that KB and I are addicted to Mafia Wars, how do we disable sending a notification to everyone every time something happens?

Didn't take long for you to get addicted. It's a difficult habit to break, too. When the little notification pops up at the bottom, I usually just hit the "undo" button real quick before it gets sent. Annoying, but I haven't looked into it much further. Another thing you can do is create a separate friends list containing only the people who play Mafia Wars. Then under "application settings" you can tell Mafia Wars to post messages ONLY to people on that list. I assume it works, since no one has complained to me about needless crap cluttering their news feed.

seawolf17 Oct 03 2009 06:20 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

Some of us -- myself included -- blocked Mafia Wars a long time ago, so it doesn't show up for me. Probably others in that boat too. If we don't want to see it, we don't have to.

Kong76 Oct 03 2009 06:52 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

I was on MW a little tonight, I did the undo option. Knowing that if anyone doesn't want notifications from MW can just block them is also comforting. I don't see myself rising much higher in my life of crime. I'm not gonna start soliciting help from people and they keep asking you to. We'll see.

Some guy I knew in high school --- in eighth grade, I carried him through a dual project on the age of discovery --- has been really unloading on me for rooting against the Yankees. I'm electing to step back, let him go, and then blocking him after the playoffs. What's the point? But it's no fun stepping back when the guy continuing calling a post from several days ago "dumbass" can't be bothered to spell or punctuate correctly. Though he likes his exclamation points. God, he loves those exclamation points. Half of me, I guess, deserves it for celebrating a loss. How ungracious. The other half, well, fuck him, fucking loser.

Methead Oct 22 2009 12:51 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

Yeah, I've never really had a plan either. I've just been progressing through the jobs and cities pretty much in order. I will say I spent a lot of time using my skill points to build up my energy exclusively. Reason being, whenever you go up a level, your energy is refilled, which means now you can do more jobs, thus getting more experience, and enabling you to level up sooner. On top of that, the energy packs you get give you 125% of the energy, so the more energy you have to begin with, the better. As for energy packs, try not to waste them if you're close to leveling up... the best time to use them is after leveling up and depleting that energy... if that makes sense. They've done newer players a favor... now it only costs 1 skill point to increase stamina (it used to cost 2)... more stamina means more fights... which increase the chances of finding more kick-ass weaponry and other loot. Selling inventory you're not using helps reduce upkeep (in NY) and bribe penalties (in Cuba and Moscow)... clicking on the "show all items used" button will tell you what you're using when you attack someone. However... there's a cool third-party add-on called Item Analyzer here - http://martini.boatpartsrus.net/ - which tells you what you're using when attacking AND being attacked, since they differ in each case.

It's really more of an issue in Cuba and Moscow where bribe penalties take a percentage of every job, and the money is more scarce to begin with. At one point my Cuban bribe penalties were over 70% before I started selling stuff. Still, every little bit helps. Those nickels and dimes add up!

No, no, no... fights are still pretty important. You can spend 1 stamina point and have a chance at the same weapon or loot that might cost you a ton of energy to get from doing a job. I don't have rackets yet... that's a new thing that they haven't given to everyone.

Today I received an unexpected fb greeting from a girl who back in the 80s turned my whole high school on its ear because: a) She moved in from Spain b) She was by orders of magnitude prettier than any other girl in school on their best day. Add to that an exotic accent, and that she hung around the art rooms because she liked to paint. Thwack. c) She was so refreshingly ignorant of the powerful social forces that had defined so many of us since elementary school, she actually went out with one of my friends. Oh, and she still got it!

Edgy DC Oct 28 2009 08:27 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

Ah yes, you told her story before. I believe the tale had her finally claimed in year two by the jockocracy and their manifest destiny credo, but, for one year, made everybody's heads explode by innocently eluding her fate. Green dress, green necklace, green eyes. Well played, greeny.

My foreign exchange run-in was in grad school. Brazilian beauty, intellectual, wanted to save the world in every way possible, and a body that wouldn't quit...but would only give a hint/tease of what she possesed with loosely worn blouses. AND the accent. I could do nothing but stare at her for two years as she was my then-girlfriend's roommate. I was totally persona non grata in that regard. Then came commencement day. I got a huge hug from her and a delicate whisper..."I wish we could have been together all this time". She walked away leaving me all wooded up. I never saw her again. Trust me, she was the first person I ever looked up on facebook and, sadly, not there. The then-girlfriend became the ex-girlfriend about three days later. Oh, the possibilities.

metsmarathon Oct 31 2009 07:18 AM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

it should be right up there on your screen.... the top of the screen is "Mafia Wars by Zygna" below that are your stats - money on hand, health, energy, stamina, experience, and level. and then right below that is the tab bar: | Home | Jobs | Fight | Properties | Inventory | Godfather (#) || Profile | My Mafia (#) | should just click the properties tab, and it'll open that section. you've gotta buy abandoned lots, or beachfront properties, or downtown lots to build different businesses on.

Kong76 Oct 31 2009 07:58 AM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

Seems they're switching over to Rackets little by little by this board discussion comment I found googling ... Anonymous said... @MrMacMan: It is precisely because of the chance that I might be switched over to rackets that I have been buying as much NY property as I can, using up all my money every day, ignoring the fact that my ROIs are now at 110 days. Zynga said they will not eliminate properties when switching to rackets -- only that they will eliminate the ability to buy them. So more of any property = better. Also, they said they will offer the ability to trade in properties for something enticing (which they haven't yet announced). Either way, more of any property = better. Anyways, I expanded my rackets some and have fifteen -- five each in Little Italy, Hell's Kitchen and Bensonhurst. I think I'll hold off spending $10,000,000 to move into the Upper East side right now thank you lol.

metsmarathon Oct 31 2009 08:56 AM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

play hte daily chance every day, but don't redeem the lottery bonus until you fill it up. you'll get a random number of godfather points i think between 1 and 5. i save my godfather points to hire goons to build up my mafia size. i have more goons than friends.

Are there ways to get Godfather points other than leveling up? I don't seem to get an awful lot of them except one for that. Halloween Loot Event is winding down. I got six items: Kraken Fake Vampire Teeth Dead End Zombie Cow Frankenstein Poker Chips Monkey Brain Stew I saw a couple of you got: Laser Squirrel What's the missing item and what do you get if you found all eight?

KC I have the same question. And I stayed up late last night waiting for energy to do jobs and when I did finally Level up, I didn't even get one!! Was I honked off! Meanwhile I keep accidentally spending 2 of them on stuff. After all this time I only have 11 and my plan was to have the 15 I need to get my own name by the end of today, which is my day off :( I'll never have a cool name (pout) So anyway, the question is, without spending real live money for them, is there another way to earn them?

metsmarathon Nov 04 2009 09:44 AM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

the daily chance thing that i mentioned... every week, you can get between 1 and 5. every now and again i get another one showing up, and i have no clue what actually triggers it. but the daily chance thing is the best way that i know of. every day, submit a daily chance ticket. but don't redeem your ticket mastery bonus! it will fill up after 6 days. when it is full, you redeem it for a random number of godfather points between 1 and 5. i think it resets each week, so on the seventh day, i just redeem the bonus for a random loot piece.

metsmarathon Nov 04 2009 09:46 AM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

the last loot is a zombie from yoville. i don't think i got anything for getting all 8 - maybe a reward point, but who knows.

[quote="metsmarathon":2pjj1p6m] anybody got the last one? or know what it is?[/quote:2pjj1p6m] Looks like you're missing the Gravy Boat. I'm still missing 2 of the 8.

metirish Nov 30 2009 01:13 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

Anyone else getting notifications on FB telling you that notifications will end soon?. I get them all the time and yesterday a link came with it asking for my email as this is how FB will notify you in the future. Seems like a scam to me.

cooby Nov 30 2009 05:57 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

I haven't had that, metirish, and it doesn't sound right to me either :(

Kong76 Nov 30 2009 05:59 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

I didn't get all 8, only six. Don't know if I want a food coma anyways.

Kong76 Nov 30 2009 06:31 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

In the interest of full disclosure ... I got my food coma!

metsmarathon Nov 30 2009 08:55 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

and i got my gravy boat! yeah, i've totally gotten sucked into this game...

Methead Nov 30 2009 09:40 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

Food coma and gravy boat were my final two as well, just found 'em both in the past hour or so.

metsmarathon Dec 09 2009 09:06 AM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

it'd be nice if they were able to update my fight lists better.... i'm kicking the same guy's ass like 50 times in a row here.

Methead Dec 09 2009 09:03 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

A bunch of people just showed up in my fight list - level 14000+ I ran away.

Kong76 Dec 10 2009 11:38 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

Not that I'm eager to see another game open in Bangkok, but I can't find a Triad Coin, any Yakuza Sake, or a Thai Note anyways.

metsmarathon Dec 11 2009 07:40 AM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

really? i found em all pretty quickly; all on the same batch of energy... you're doing the jobs with the little elephant icons, right?

Methead Dec 11 2009 10:04 AM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

Got the first two pretty quickly but the last one is proving to be elusive. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnqj31VPNoE

Kong76 Dec 11 2009 10:29 AM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

Thanks, I didn't notice the elephants. I was just doing all of them and nothing. I just did the Asian 17 one like six times in a row and got a freakin' poker chip. There's some funny stuff out there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnde0fhLsZ8

Kong76 Dec 12 2009 09:23 AM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

MW sleeps with the fishes ... I'm getting the shakes.

Methead Dec 12 2009 11:31 AM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

They keep doing whatever they can to make the game worse. Now, they've taken away the ability to find kick-ass loot when fighting others. Grrrrrrr.

Kong76 Dec 12 2009 11:46 AM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

I'm waiting to sign on one day and find my fortune gone. I wasted, uh, I mean, worked hard for that dough. And I still can't find the Bangkok loot.

metsmarathon Dec 12 2009 07:54 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

its like they're actively trying to break me of this habit...

Kong76 Dec 18 2009 01:19 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

Who shuts down IT operations to do maintenance during normal business hours? Zynga does, that's who. My rackets better be collectible when MW returns, or someone is gonna get whacked.

I'm looting Ugly Sweaters ... I'm in deep.

[quote="Kong76":1twxi1ka]I'm looting Ugly Sweaters ... I'm in deep.[/quote:1twxi1ka] Heh. I'm just glad they brought back loot drops during fights.

metsmarathon Dec 19 2009 08:19 AM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

Oh good! I'm a little bummed that while the hospital's guest wifi access is open to facebook, it blocks fun apps like mafia wars and farmville. I could be a few levels higher right now, and also would not have a crop of artichokes withering away into nothingness.

Kong76 Dec 19 2009 07:12 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

I see a bunch of you have tried out the 'Dislike' thingie. I have the option now right next to 'Like' but nothing happens when I click on it. And what's with the affiliation to Artiface? Is this a scam or can you guys really 'Dislike' something? Personally, one of the most annoying things I find on facebook is people 'Liking' everything. It's like if someone posted something on a forum like this and someone kept saying 'Good Post' every time their favorite posters posted something.

cooby Dec 19 2009 07:38 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

Amen, brother. Good post.

Kong76 Dec 19 2009 08:19 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

But does your 'Dislike' option work? Mine does nothing.

Edgy DC Dec 19 2009 08:48 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

[quote="Kong76":2p7q4izv]But does your 'Dislike' option work? Mine does nothing.[/quote:2p7q4izv] I don't really seem to have one yet

Kong76 Dec 20 2009 04:39 AM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

So, Vory or Mafiya?

Methead Dec 20 2009 09:49 AM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

Doesn't make a whole lot of difference until you get to the final two chapters of Moscow... I've basically been alternating between the two since there are weapons that are unique to Vory or Mafiya (I like to collect everything, dammit) and your choice for each chapter doesn't become final until you complete level mastery anyway. This is a very useful wiki - http://mafiawars.wikia.com/wiki/Jobs - that should help you make your final choices. They make recommendations too. edit -- this is actually a better link -- http://mafiawars.wikia.com/wiki/Vory_vs_Mafiya

Kong76 Dec 24 2009 01:34 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

This one's my favorite ...

Edgy DC Dec 31 2009 11:17 AM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

A lady I haven't really thought about since eighth grade --- but now married --- has been openly flirting with me on Facebook --- as a study is released today saying 20% of divorce filings are mentioning Facebook. Would you risk your marriage by sending flirty messages to this guy?

Benjamin Grimm Dec 31 2009 11:24 AM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

Uh-uh! I think I already have!

Kong76 Dec 31 2009 11:48 AM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

I can think of few girls from 8th grade I wish would flirt with me.

themetfairy Dec 31 2009 12:15 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

Define flirty....

Benjamin Grimm Dec 31 2009 12:51 PM Re: Forum on Facebook (split from split from Prez)

Me, I'm surprised at how many of my high school classmates have now, somehow, turned into either cats or small children.

Hah, let me rephrase ... 1975 8th graders. Like I needed to feel older as another decade ends.
