As it turns out, I had the wrong width and height and then it couldn't show any of the &quot;friends&quot;.  However, with the correct resolution, even if I enter more than two friends, I only see two of them.  The game tell me that I found them all if I move the two I can see around some more."},{"author_name":"SparkCloud","author_uid":"8796","time":"Dec 26, 2011 @ 11:02pm","epoch":1324940220,"text":"Lol, that was awesome!
