I have very few I rarely actually play on BBO (do a lot of kibitizing) and am lazy about adding names... I should do something about that, but I doubt I'd ever get over say 30 or so.

[jillybean]

81 in my list but I never see more than about 20 of these people online. Time maybe for some housekeeping.

Just curious, how many friends do you guys have marked on your BBO list? I counted once and it was over 200, I'm thinking that kind of defeats the purpose of even having a friends list

You are indeed a very very RICH MAN!

The friends you make at your age will last you a lifetime, treasury them.

My friends list is getting larger too, especially now that some regular forum members have so many identities. If I can't remember a friend then I just remove them from my list.

[paulg]

I have 86, although there are around another 50 that have notes in their profile but are not specifically marked friends.

Perhaps more importantly, I'd be interested in how many people's lists I am on

I have over 200 I think but a lot of them are National level players who I know (or know of) that I like to kib. Its sort of like my black book for kibbing.

Most of the people I have notes for are not my friends.

[uday]

More than one user has more than 6000 friends. System can only really take advantage of about 1500 friends/enemies (after that, you can mark away but they are not sent to your pc on login)

[barmar]

6000 friends? What do they do, add everyone they've ever played with or against, except maybe the ones they had horrible experience with, as a friend? What does friendship mean if you're so indiscriminate?

[Echognome]

I was surprised when I counted them out. I have 130 on my list which is comprised of:

People I know personally
People I know from online (usually forum) that I play with
People I know from online that I like to play with as opps or teammates
Stars and Famours players I like to kib

Maybe Justin brings up a point that it would be nice to have different "types" of friends. Don't know how much extra programming it would be or whether it would be on anyone's priority list, but I imagine it would be nice.

wow, 109, thought it was a lot less. But there are a lot of people who I just like to kibitz, not all of them are real friends. That's why I'd like another color for 'people I want to kibitz', but that idea has been blown off in the past.

Friendlist: 3
Enemy: 0

127
Too much.
57 enemies which is also too much.

[Gerben42]

In what sense is 57 enemies too much. In principle 1 is too much but that's just not the way it works.

For me it just means "people I do not want to play with for various reasons".

These reasons might be:
"expert in profile but clueless"
"rude"
"quits after bad score"
"harasses partner"
etc. etc. etc.

My guess is that there are more than ten times 57 of those, I just haven't met them yet.

[helene_t]

Five that I've met in real life.
Six regular partners.
A bunch of less regular partners (some fifty I would guess).
A similar number of opps and TDs whom I found particularely nice behaving.
Some twenty-five regular forum posters.

A handfull of enemies, all players who shouted at their partners.

Player notes are mainly for fake experts. I don't mark them as enemies.

[Elianna]

I have 170 names on my friends list. Mainly people I know, a few people I like to kibbitz. Some are multiples (different handles).

I have 13 on my enemy list, but that number changes daily. It consists of people that I think drive people away from my table (either through rudeness or ineptitude, but usually if the second, they claim to be expert). Also of people that talk a lot at tables I kibbitz, because this is the easy way to shut them up. And lastly, people that are completely wrong in their post mortems, and subject me to listening to their idiocity.

Usually after they've been on my list for a few weeks or a month (depending on how much they piss me off) I'll take them off my list, and leave a note in their profile, to see if they've stopped pissing me off.

I dont like my screen full of black color so i put in enemy only those who really push it.

There was a very old bug you'll get if you hit too many friends. Whatever that was I hit that. I think 128+ or so. (years ago).

Can now adjust friends/enemies/everyone's colours, so change enemies to a colour you enjoy and make them all enemies? :>
