I'm playing Here Be Monsters on Facebook now. It's kind of a Faunasphere+Glitch+fantasy combination. Strange, but cute and mildly enjoyable. I'm sure I'll like it more once I finally get all the Glitch out of my system (if that's even possible).
I am trying so hard to like it because so many of my FS and Glitch friends are there but all the FB garbage really puts me off. I can't do anything without the darn Pop-up asking to post it on FB and/or a second pop-up asking how much real money I want to spend on some virtual game enhancement. I am just too upset to get very far into ti :(
I'm impressed with Here Be Monsters (and I think I only found it because I saw your status about it). It hasn't got the same nagging as other FB games, that you can add friends without being FB friends is good & there's lots of crafting.

My new motto: "You can take the girl out of Glitch, but you can't take the Glitch out of the girl." (And anything that's strictly on FB I won't play, because I don't do FB.)
I do not go on FB. It's been months. Should I scrounge around and find my pw and log in and join the Glitchen who are there? Seems like I ought to.
I don't do FB games but if you poke around in the settings (the app settings or your account section re: apps) you may be able to pre-emptively refuse it all permissions to post to your wall. I can't promise it's possible with this one, but I have helped other friends do that with other games.
Don’t post private stuff you don’t wish to share with ALL of the world, avoid games and applications, just communicate in the groups – and the Fb experience can be somewhat bearable. ;)
Thanks for the advice! I have been at FB for many years and find it more unbearable now that ever (sigh). There are a lot of "updates" and "likes" on my site that I have nothing to do with and can find no way to stop. I am especially angry about the "Likes" for ads that I have not even seen much less "Liked". I have stopped liking anything but comments by Friends as a result. I don't even "Like" photos that come from some commercial site even if I do like them and they are posted by friends.
