Please light my torches and I will check in daily to light yours. My user name is JUDI  #6476212ME. How many torches do I need? Never thought I'd ask this in a gaming forum but please friend me. Thanks to all!

Hi Judi This torch thing is very new, and has not had time to settle down, on my Islands I immediately placed 10 torches on every island and added 50 'friends', I think I was a little naive to think that if I lit 50 torches every day, then 50 of mine would be lit, but it seems to be running at about 20% return. So it seems that there are 4 takers for every giver; disappointing. This said I will not give up, even though the proses is very badly executed by the programmers, the 'friends' button does not return you to your previous point in the menu, so you have to log back in, select the page and remember where you were in the queue, this makes the process slow, dull and turgid, this will put most people off of repeatedly working through the friends list every day, once the novelty has worn off. I have now changed my tactics, starting to delete torches on Islands that are already breeding, so the lit ones are concentrated on Islands that I want monsters on, you recoup 75% of the cost when you sell so it is not expensive.

I would think that if you have 10 torches and 40-50 'friends' they would be permanently lit, and when you get your rare monster, sell them and buy new ones for the next island.
