It’s really obnoxious that none of my friends are playing - it’s almost impossible to get far without some help. ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > So, who wants to be my ally and staff my government? How do I get liberty bonds? Feel free to send me an invite to the staff. You can get liberty bonds by defeating the game bosses (that are on the world map in the lower, right hand corner of the game). If anyone would like to add me on Facebook (so they can add me as a neighbor to the game) feel free: [http://www.facebook.com/ChrisLeeNeal](http://www.facebook.com/ChrisLeeNeal) I produce iron, by the way. ---

PM me if you need additional neighbors. I produce copper and always have some for sale. ---

> [@kenetic](#): > > PM me if you need additional neighbors. I produce copper and always have some for sale. Ditto for me! I’ll send some PMs to those that play. WARNING: Do not request neighbors on the Zynga forum. I got 67 requests the very next morning, and I personally don’t need or want that many. 20 - 30 is enough. 😃 ---

I could use a good copper source, but what I’m really short on is uranium. I actually have several copper/uranium producers for neighbors but they aren’t very active. I produce gold and always have some for sale. I will invade you, but with minimal forces and only one unit type, so you’re not going to take any losses from it. I gift 3 energy most days. I can suggest people who are undemanding and produce a particular resource. I wish I could unload bonds in the market. One way to get to get bonds is to gift them, some people use the “send a gift back” option. ---

I produce uranium. Which Dave Hartwick are you? ETA - never mind, you’re the one I have mutual friends with. 🙂 ---

Yeah, you’ve invaded me a few times before…but you also chase other invaders away, for which I thank you for. 🙂 ---
