s/o candy crush. How do you get more than 5 lives?? I hear people talk about it and i'm jealous. LOL.

Didn't someone here post an article about someone suing them? I was talking about it recently and couldn't find the article again. It was something about the player being addicted to the game and that the makers of the game were monopolizing on that disease and stealing her livelihood or someshit. When has monopolizing on addiction been illegal anyway?

You set your phone clock ahead a few hours, go into the game and you'll have full lives, immediately leave the game and set your clock back to normal, go back to the game. Rinse and repeat.

my husband connected his candy crush account to facebook and all of his friends give him lives. something happened w/ his candy crush and he couldn't open the app for a while to play. when he finally got it to load a few weeks later he had over 40 lives people just sent him. i was so jealous. 

OMG I can't connect to facebook. I hate people who play games on facebook and ask for lives.

Do you mean people are actually PAYING real dollars for striped candy bombs and extra lives?
