VHS Riptide Online

For those who have been lucky enough to evade Farmville’s addictiveness, I encourage you to keep up the good work and stay away from it.  The objective of Farmville, a game played through Facebook, is to grow and raise crops, trees, and farm animals.  Players get money for collecting fruit and animal products, from trees and animals respectively, and for harvesting crops.  Experience points are also awarded for plowing land, planting crop seeds, and decorating your farm.
The main thing that makes Farmville so addicting is the constant worry farmers face that their crops will wilt.  Crops grow in Farmville in real time, which crosses Farmville with reality.  Senior Bailey Protzeller is an admitted Farmville fanatic, and has faced these problems herself.
“The other day at the Charles Wright soccer game I saw some trees across the field and I immediately began thinking about my trees on my farm,” she said.
Many students at the high school have noticed the effects of Farmville on their peers.
“Farmville is ridiculous,” said junior Natalie Kerns. “It’s actually affecting people’s school work.  The other day somebody told me that they were late to school because they were tending to their farm.  It’s a serious problem.”
Junior Kellan Faker-Boyle also has taken notice to the negative affects Farmville has had on his friends.
“My friend actually thought you could collect truffles from a pig in real life,” said Faker-Boyle. 
Truffles are the product Farmville farmers obtain from their pigs in Farmville once a day.  This is definitely not reality.  And if you want to keep from mixing reality with the internet game world, please take my advice, and stay away from Farmville.
