Hi, this sounds great but I have no idea which of the hundreds of John Thompson’s on FB I should request friends.

I too have had some games with invisible characters and missing blocks, which could be a glitch. But then today the rockets were invisible but left a trail of butterflies. Reminded me of the time I ate some strange mushrooms back in the day, so either I’m having psychedelic flashbacks or Rovio is just messing with us. I’m hoping it’s the latter.

I like puppies and unicorns and I wish for world peace.

I have actually won leagues up to gold level using nothing more than free Wingman as a PU. And without fail the next week I end up in the bottom, often demoted back to silver. Then I usually rock all the way back to the top. So it’s clear Rovio is manipulating the game likely in the hope that I will be so desperate to win I will piss away my money on PUs to get back on top. When I don’t take the bait they let me win fair and square after tanking and the cycle begins anew. So I’d have to say I’m happy half the time and not losing any sleep over this since the game is free. If you’re spending money on PUs you’re a chump playing into their hands cuz that’s what they want. Don’t give them that satisfaction. I actually enjoy those weeks where I’m dead last cuz I know I stiffed them.

I bounce back and forth from top 3 to sometimes dead last the next week, then back to the top, and this has been happening consistently for months now. It’s a bit spooky but I don’t have time for conspiracy theories so I just roll with it. I’m convinced there’s some manipulation by Rovio but it’s likely just clever application of learning theory a la BF Skinner cuz damn if I’m not jones’n to try again after a dismal week. Just remember, it’s only a game, and a free one at that, so no need to lose sleep lol.

I agree, it’s been pretty boring last two months. I have 40,000 dead piggies and no way to use them.

@GABirdman, I gave up on Facebook years ago when it became popular with my grandmother and all her friends lol. But I have no problem getting my friend to play – in fact, I cannot play a round without selecting one when the round starts. But this all happens within the game itself, since I never try to interface with FBook. What happens to them after the round, I have no idea, maybe they get some points or something.

[BeeGuy]

I must be the luckiest of all here. However, I’ve had the same sporadic problem of being unable to summon my friend during battle, and also unable to transform, usually when the lava balls come raining down – splat. I am getting the black screen but only when a particular PBS ad appears – when I close the ad, the screen goes black and I have to reboot the Kindle. To misquote Hamlet, there’s something rotten in Finland. And its name is Rovio.

[BeeGuy]

I was luckier, the game started this morning right where it left off. I won’t be surprised though if something catastrophic occurs at some point in the future. I submitted a ticket to Rovio and no response – I’m guessing they’ll just pretend this never happened or blame it on the user platform/device.

[BeeGuy]

I have 20,000 dead piggies piled up and sorta wondering what I would do with the rest after I spend a mere fraction on new characters – assuming the Kindle update ever arrives in working order

[BeeGuy]

I had the exact same problem on my Kindle Fire HDX. This after weeks of crashing during many different plays. I’m now at level 148 with 20,000+ dead piggies to my name, and getting bored with no new levels. I’m guessing/hoping that it’s choking on the long awaited new update and they just need to sort the bugs out. Hoping I don’t lose all my progress. Oh well, there’s still the always enjoyable Friends tourney to waste more of my time.
