When I booted up Cityville I was greeted by Samantha who I guess is my sort of guide through the game. First I got to name my city so I went with Ozztopia because my nick name is Ozz… and it will be a Topia. Samantha taught me the resources I will be using to bring my city to Topia status. Money is used to buy thing, goods are used to supply your businesses, and experience is what makes you level up and get more stuff to build.  I started setting up small cottages which brought the first few people to Ozztopia and since these people needed things to do why they lived in my city I built a bakery and a toy store. So far naming my businesses has been my favorite part of the game but i cant really explain. Having a toy store named “Toys Don’t Cry” and a bakery called “Bakepocalypse Now!” is just kinda cool I guess. Anyway, One of the things that surprsed me is how much I have to click. If you want to collect income, supply your businesses, or do pretty much everything else. This has made me turn into a chronic cityville checker, forcing me to go onto any computer I can latch on to in order to collect my money and make sure I am not wasting my time. This at least helps me understand why people are so addicted to these Zynga games, because they screw you over and punish you for having a life. Another huge component of the game is having neighbors, which you accomplish by getting your friends to give up their lives and join you in Cityville. In order to be successful you need friends because you have to use them to fill Community Buildings in order to expand your towns population, or risk having to spend ACTUAL MONEY to fill these positions! I caught about 7 of my friends in this evil death trap through asking them to help me or posting every single accomplishment on my Facebook Wall. I feel like a dick for doing this to them and sending all these useless messages that have no meaning, but this is payback in a way for when they did it to me atleast that’s how I justify it. I am getting more and more people every few hours, proving these ‘Ville are like a horrible virus that destroys your life and your friends lives

… but I sorta like being infected
