Goodbye Facebook - The End of an Era

A little over a week ago, I said goodbye to Facebook. I deactivated my account, and I must say I haven't missed it one bit. Of course, some of the games were great fun. As regular readers will know, I did enjoy to play Mob Wars, Mafia Wars, FarmVille, Airport City - Free to Fly and some of the other games.

It has been an interesting time. This blog did begin to take on a life of its own. Maybe you want to continue this blog. If so please write me, either in the comments field or by clicking my G+ profile. I should be fairly easy to find. I am willing to turn over this blog to whosoever might be able to continue the theme of Facebook games. I have written an e-book about my decision entitled The Book Facebook Doesn't Want You to Read which is available from here: www.blunck.dk/facebook.

Have fun out there, and thanks for following my scriblings. Hope someone comes along with a desire to continue what I started.

Airport City - Free to Fly - End of Year Status Update

At this time, I thought I would also add an end of the year status update on Airport City - Free to Fly. I have reached level 28, and planes are running off in hasty intervals. :-)

Many of the daily challenges have been completed, as you can see near the top right.

Hope you all enjoy the game.

Mob Wars - Quick Status Update

I just wanted to give you an end of the year update on Mob Wars. This morning I reached level 1184, so moved ten levels in just over 5 days. :-)

As always, it's great fun to share gifts (energy, stamina and items) with all of you, so do join the mob if you haven't done so already. And, once again, I will also provide updates on the other games I play, including Airport City - Free to Fly, Mafia Wars, Criminal Case (where I am already in area 28) and FarmVille.

If you need tricks I haven't already mentioned, you are welcome to leave a comment. :-)

Happy New Year to all of you.

Status Updates - Facebook Games

Today, I want to share a status update on all the Facebook games I play. As always, I encourage you to join my teams in each game.

Mob Wars: I have reached level 1129. Coming back to the game after my kids went back with their mother who picked them up a few hours ago.

Mafia Wars: I have reached level 682

AirPort City - Free to Fly: I have reached level 27

Criminal Case: I have reached level 66, and almost finalizing crime no. 24.

Have fun out there. :-)

AirPort City - Free to Fly: New Challenges - Daily Missions

Finally, the team behind AirPort City - Free to Fly have added a bit to the feel of gameplay. They have added daily missions with a variety of fun things you need to do to get a bonus. Sometimes even hard-to-get little things you need in the game.

But, then again, you end up being a bit annoyed. Personally, it's yesterday's challenge. Speeding up flights is fine when all flights are in working condition, but when four out of six airplanes are to be repaired, and you need to PAY actual money to get the type of currency to repair your planes, then yesterday was the first day in four when I didn't complete the mission of the day.

As I have written before, I won't use actual spending money to complete a game, so AirPort City - Free to Fly was disregarded yesterday. :-)

AirPort City Free to Fly Status Update

I am still at level 25. AirPort City has been one of those games I haven't really played all that much this summer. It is a game that misses quite a bit, and the people behind it have invented lots of things that require bonus money, which you can either only acquire by asking friends to join, or pay real spending money to get...

The game is startingto suffer from lagging quality when their servers are busy, so you can at least deduct that there ARE people who play the game. :-)

It can be great fun, and I think much depends on how many other games you can also add to your portfolio of games on Facebook. As you can read on this blog, I switch quite a bit between Criminal Case, Mafia Wars, MobWars, AirPort City and even FarmVille.

Have fun out there. :-)

Small Status From Airport City

Today was a great day in Airport City - Free to Fly. I was so lucky as to try the ghost plane bonus. As you can see from the screendump from the game, I have reached level 25. Now, you need 9000 Experience points to get to the next level, so it does take a bit of time to get to new levels in this game.

But it's great fun, and if you have a planning spirit, you will greatly enjoy this game.

Have fun out there. :-)

Facebook Games - Status Update

In Mob Wars, I have reached level 1025, and now almost passing 400 mob members. Feel free to join the mob by clicking this link: https://apps.facebook.com/mobwars/profile/?user_id=742214440.

In Criminal Case, I have reached level 45. Once I have had the time to spend all the energy that has accumulated over the weeks, I'll probably reach level 47, and will have finalized district no. 13 fully. :-)

In Mafia Wars, I have reached level 680. There were a few weeks where I didn't play it at all. Some large mobs have a tendency of watching who is online, and they quite simply bombard people to steal funds. So you end up doing a lot of jobs, yet you can't continue, because you then lack the funds to continue with the next job because someone takes it from you. Such behaviour could potentially destroy gameplay, but I'm quite sure that someone is trying to alert admins as to the patterns some follow in the game of Mafia Wars...

In Airport City: Free to Fly, I have reached level 24.

As always, you are free to join, and if you have any questions whatsoever, please feel free to use the comment field.

Have fun out there :-)

Airport City Website and Trailer

When reacting to a system breakdown, I went to the fan page, and discovered the official game website, and saw their official trailer for the Airport City game, which I wanted to share with you today:


Have fun playing Airport City out there. You are welcome to become one of my neighbors. :-)

Status Update

In Mob Wars, I reached level 904 this evening. Had some pretty hard fights with cheating gamers who had to get a big spanking before they got the message. :-)

In Airport City, I have reached level 14.

I was wondering what problems you might be having with any of the games of Mob Wars, Airport City, Mafia Wars, Cafe World or some other Facebook game. Feel free to ask in comments. I would gladly help. :-)

Status Level Update

Today I want to give you a quick status update.
In Mafia Wars I have reached level 666 - I haven't played this game much lately, but getting right back to it during my summer vacation, so stay tuned.
In Mob Wars I have reached level 895.
In Criminal Case I have reached the end of level 44 - and well on my way towards completely solving extra clues in case #12.
In Airport City - Free to Fly I have reached level 11.

Have fun out there playing Facebook games. :-)

Airport City - Free to Fly

You may have tried Airport City - Free to Fly on Facebook. It's a rather smart game, and gameplay is excellent in many ways.

Purpose of the Game
You administer a small airport, and the goal of the game is to create all the surroundings of an airport - in fact the entire city. This is based on your own and neighbor planes landing in your airport, earning you money from delivering either passengers or fuel to airplanes visiting your airport.

The game works pretty well, but there are some aspects that are rather annoying. When you buy buildings, you have to ask for items before you can finalize the buildings, or buy special cash using REAL MONEY.

If there is anything that can truly provoke me, then it's the constant focus on money in Facebook games. You can't build much in some games before the money aspect sets in. It's like having a big money sign in FRONT of your shop before customers even come in the door...

Certainly a nice game, but be mindful that pilots start their resting period AFTER you have cleared their landing. So if you leave the game - many of us sleep at night :-) - you end up locked for some hours if you don't have many friends playing Airport City - Free to Fly...
