    When at uni, my girlfriend tried to get me into Farmville so she could trade stuff. I tried it, decided it was too repetitive, and decided to write a bot to automatically plant and pick tomatoes every two hours. I was a higher level than my wife after about three weeks, and shared my bot with her - which I put into a zip file with her name on it.

    Others started using it after we shared it with our friends, and it had been shared several times amongst others, still with her name on the zip file.

    She’s now my wife, and I’d say that 70% of that was down to that Farmville bot showing that I had value as a man.

      Holy crap, I thought I was the only one who built their wife a Farmville bot. My wasn’t as fancy. It was just a batch file that would reload the browser once an hour. It had something to do with yourl game only progressing while you were active and they would time you out after an hour.
