Aww, easy fix.. Click on the Alliance Tab, and say "Who here loved Pacman?" XD Seriously, random questions are the easiest way to get any convo going, and make you feel more like a part of the group instead of an individual in a game. I know how you feel though. I've played through games that I find boring, JUST to beat them.. Like it's some sort of chore.. I've found myself going "Ugh, I'm so bored.. well.. Might as well log on to such-and-such game and earn some money" or something lol.
Anyways, hit me up sometime and we'll have a blast! That's if you aren't too shy.. Then I'll just end up donkey the heck outa ya. XD
