Popularity Questions

[Spike]

Hi All,

I just found the game last weekend. Its a fun way to pass the time. My question is about the Bloo adventures. To be able to play them, you need to fill your citizenship bar. After completing my first Bloo adventure, my popularity bar was then completely filled up, and i got to unlock a mini-game.

1) Does your popularity bar fill up completely every time you complete a Bloo adventure?

2) If so, what is the point of helping out friends? I realize that you can use their help to complete your chores, which i guess helps if you want to cut things in half, but you will always fill up your citizenship bar from chores before filling up the popularity bar by helping friends.

3) If you skip a few days, when you come back to the game, it says your chores will be harder. Does this mean that when i come back, i will have one chore that i have 18 things to do for, or will i have 18 different chores to do, with each one giving me a citizenship point? In other words, if i miss a day do i miss my chance at the citizenship points for that day?

4) Also, and i have seen this question before, but without a definitive answer, is there any way to speed the game up? I realize the game is made for kids and it controls how much time they can spend playing the game, but for it almost seems like its not worth the time, even though i am just using it to pass time.

Thanks for any help, i realize more than a few of you have probably been playing this since the beginning.
