@scott20 – Sometimes I think that I was better off playing the game without coming here, because I wasn’t considering competing against others. Like most people, I three starred levels because I loved the game and that was more challenging.

But isn’t this a lot like life? Other people are happy to tell us what to do or what is important. When they tell us, “These are the rules of the game,” they assume those are the rules of the game, but that is never ever so, unless we are sheep. Saying “we’re going to play and compete in this game according to Rovio’s rules,” can make self-esteem and social interaction depend upon some company’s marketing plans.

What rules for playing and challenging yourself make sense to you? Ignore the leaderboards, what do you really think about it?

For myself, I am pretty purist about the game, and the idea of competing on the leader boards is ridiculous at this point. I imagine that some of us are simply driven to four-star something which only grant three stars. I have from day one been 100% against IAPs, which increases the difficulty of my game (my version of four stars). Playing many different games, I never paid Rovio a cent until this month, when their customer service was top notch, so I decided to pay 99¢ for the “ad-free” game (ha, ha ha! Ad free my tailfeathers!) But I don’t regret that purchase a bit, they were extremely professional and very polite.

From my perspective this lesson is probably worth $100 to you, so long as you don’t get bitter about it. Download the free games, disconnect to avoid the ads, and remember the Carbonite melts.
