Super Cell Friend requests

Do you have pending outgoing request that you sent to others?

You do have to jump through lots of hoops to get to support. I type in the word help, then tap the no I need something else icon until it finally gets to the screen to let me say what I need help with. It's a big pain for sure.

I used to be able to do that but now I can't even get to the "need something else" screen. Grrrrrr. 

I have tried each of the options they give, and eventually it says end conversation. Extremely frustrating... but I am still in hopes that this is just a temporary problem that will get worked out.

Wait, just making sure we understand your issue correctly. Where are you seeing those requests? Via Friend Book or via sC ID settings?

These two do not have the same limit.

It on the sc id... like when you get a red ! Notice in game. Then go to the I'd box... it shows the request but won't  let me accept.  It also tells me I have 52 in game friends I can add- and has a list- I click the add button and the same message pops up.


If I go to my friend book (bottom right corner) it shows I have 216/300.

Good thing I am already gray headed!  🙃

Emailkathy,

I think you confused yourself and the lack of information confused us all . You cannot accept SC ID request from within your friend book.

To accept your SC ID friend request:
- tap on Settings > tap on blue button Connected (SC ID banner) > follow the Notification number to see the list of friend request > accept or deny as you wish.


After you did this, check your Friend Book again to see if the issues is still there. One issue at a time.

Thanks Kathy and Gymgirl, now that’s clear.

Kathy, you can stop looking at the Friend Book. Friend Book and SC ID are two separate friend system. The limit showing in Friend Book is for Friend Book only. I haven’t seen SC ID friend request limit officially shared anywhere, not even in their own FAQ.

Now I’m curious how many SC ID friends you both already have. And if that helps, if you are friends with some one through Friend Book or Game Center, you don’t necessary need them amongst SC ID friends yet, not until you can accept more friends.

And there’s a way to convert your active FB/GC friends into your Friend Book friend. Interested?

Yes, I’ve done this to find my GC friends while playing on android.

Without knowing a player tag, you can send friend request by tapping on the “+” button when visiting their farm. This is only possible if:
- they accept incoming friend request
AND
- you can visit their farm while disconnecting Game Center (or Facebook)

To do this, I wait for when they are on my Last Helper list/ temporarily join their Neighborhood, disconnect GC, restart the game, visit through Last Helper list/neighbor list, send request + follow the farm. Follow farm is optional but helpful when Helper list grows.

This method won’t move the entire list but only the ones that are active enough to help your farm / let you join the hood/ join your hood. Try first with someone you have farm tag.

I wasn’t t clear in my previous post. Game Center is exclusively available on iOS. I play on both iOS and Android devices. With iOS device and GC logged in, can see them in friend bar and visit their farm from there. However, if I open the game on android devices, they don’t appear on friend bar. By adding them to Friend Book, I was able to see them on friend bar regardless which device I play, and even if I log out of Game Center to reduce the friend bar to the active ones only.

On their side, if they play with GC connected, they can still find me whether GC is logged in or not on my device.

Kathy, I thought of something.

If you have 216 friends in Friend Book and you used the SC ID “Add All” button, it means you sent 216 friend request via SC ID.
Now assuming that SCID friend limit is less than 200, then that explains why you exceeded your limit. Considering all your friend do not have SC ID connected yet, your request will be pending for months, taking place and won’t let you add/accept any friend request anymore.

You can see the list of Pending friend request under your SC ID friend list (scroll all the way down). I suggest remove all those without a chicken logo/ SC ID avatar. It means they do not have SC ID and are not likely to accept your request any time soon. See if that brings you to where you can accept new SC ID friend request.

Again, with Friend Book still available with a higher limit, personally I don’t see why I need to add the same friend in SC ID as well. The only occasion would be to find them in other SC game later.

I apologize. I was referring to SC game support regarding jumping through hoops to get help. I do not know what game center is. I am on Facebook and used it to increase my RSS slots and find game friends. I have not had any problems adding friends to SC. I do have over 100 friends on SC. I do get pop up at times letting me know I can't send a fr as the person has all the friends they are allowed.

I have added most of my neighbors to supercell.  Some fr are still pending so will cancel those in a few more days and send out invites to new active people.  I'm very seldom on Facebook anymore.  Just to see pictures of family.  Thank you for explaining what game center is.

This is all very confusing. I just connected to SC ID. How do I get to the SC-ID friends list? Why did I have to out in a new logon name because the old one had to be checked if it was acceptable? Will i eventually get the old logon name back?

Players also see farm name and farm level.

If you don't see those in your outgoing request,could be that your friend farm isn't connected to SC ID (by choice or else). In this case, request will stay pending for a very long time.
