Since Stormie showed up with the games crash, is he safe? Did someone hack into TL while the games were down and add him? I am worried since TL has not responded to anyone. I wonder if I should even be playing the games or if it could be doing something to my phone or stealing info off my phone.

I tried opening Stormie's game on BS and it couldn't open his game, which concerns me even more, so I have not touched him in the other games. And he left this message on my wall on each game, which is totally false:

"sorry I just found ur message n added u into my new restaurant (not this one) sorry again"

It could be something that TL thought might be fun to have someone figure out, but it is not funny after the crash and all the continued issues since that the games are having.

I use BS, RS & FS. I am wondering if I need to remove the games to be safe or not, especially since I can't find any responses from TL in the forums.

Just think of Stormie as new content. He has nothing to do with the latest game problems. He didn't "hack" anything. TeamLava put him into our neighbor's list. Plus, he's Storm8's mascot. How can he "hack" his own game?

Well out of curiosity I added you in restaurant ... You can decline if you want....and that message you said "stormie" wrote is not from stormie it's from a restaurant friend..... So why did you feel like you had to say its from stormie which it's not?

Because that message coincided with the arrival of Stormie in all 3 of my games. And the store name that wrote that note and claims to have added me doesn't exist as my neighbor in any 3 of the games. it is nothing personal. Just a lot of supsicous activity all around the time of the crash.

He could have gotten your I'd from the forum just like I did

Well I'm not happy that stormie has 3 diamond dragons and one in the nest. Why is he so special? Why does he need so many diamond dragons ? Share the wealth TL!! Give all of stormie's neighbors a diamond dragon!

I don't know who it is, but I didn't accept an invite and I'm unable to delete "Stormie". My neighbor list should be MY prerogative and not TL's or anyone else's. What's the purpose, spy? I feel invaded!

It's not Stormie who is causing the problems. There is something wrong with TeamLava's servers. We've had glitches 3 days in a row. Before Stormie was added as a neighbor.

"Stormie" is a computer-controlled neighbor that has been added to the game by TeamLava. He is NOT a bug nor is he a hack. As a neighbor he currently can not be removed, though Stormie is able to be visited each day, and will grant requests for Parts if you haven't reached your daily max (please note that this doesn't happen right away). Also, Stormie he can not be Gifted at this time, and you are not able to write on his wall.

My thoughts exactly! I have my suspicions..maybe it's better if I just delete my games to be sure.

I tried to tell 'em BP. But they didn't listen. Yup. See. I spoke the truth!

So what is the purpose of adding him? And why can't an explanation be put on everyone's wall to at least explain?

That's the old TeamLava. And as feedback, they've lost communication between them and their customers. It's sad and hopefully one day it can be restored.

I think I'm going to take a break for a while. I don't like things like this...too much going on with these games.
