I've decided I'm just going to send keys to whomever I see with the bouncing ! over their head. 

A lot of the people who send me keys I can't send keys back to. They never have a key request when I'm on line.  And I'm not going to check in every 15 minutes to see if they do. 

I'm stressed out enough trying to keep up with sending gifts in MC, and who to gift next is much easier to keep track of in that game.  Anybody who is unhappy with the number of keys they get from me can just delete me.  And anybody who sends me an e-mail demanding keys will get deleted. (Yes, somebody did that).

I thought the keys kept regenerating after every 5 minutes, and expected to have a lot of keys to send out in the morning, but I guess you can only have 10 unsent keys at a time.  I'm not giving up sleep or anything else to send more keys to people.

lilyr - people can only contact you by pm if they are on your friend list.  So deleting them makes it impossible for them to contact you.  You can still bid on their stuff and if you win the auction you will still get the pm automatically generated "from them".

Was the person TonyChua?

Most of the people have been nice and either leave you alone or send you "Thanks for the key" and maybe add that they're working on their achievements.

I just spent some time playing auction  b-i-t-c-h. 

There were 7-8 Gothic Fotresses listed opening bid of 1,000 and no bids on any of them.  I bid on one in the middle of the pack and went to send keys.  Get notice that I've been outbid.  No problem, I'll bid on a different one.

Go to check and this woman has bid on ALL of them.  Now I'm angry.  Can't let me have one?  Well, now I've decided that I want TWO.  So I waited until the closing seconds and got my two.  Look further down the list.   Same person has bids on a couple of other low priced items.  I think I "stole" "her" items 5 times. 

Really, she should have just let me have that one Gothic Fortress.


 

I haven't even found out what these 'keys' are yet, doesn't sound too fun.  I played the new slot machine and won 3 gold, a  lasagna, and something else, maybe it was more stars.  I'm going to be in the Catskill Mountains for 4th of July so I don't know if I'll have internet access up there, probably not.  The cafe has free wi-fi but it always seems to be broken when the carnival comes to town, lol. 
I've done a whole lot of doll requests, can't they mix it up a bit?  Since I have 2 games going I can win auctions from myself with a high bid, so that part's alright.
