About Kickmania

Kickamania is all about kicking people- usually in their asses. While in the real world, this could be a serious matter, here in FB, players only do this for fun and of course for the rank.

With this application, you get to use someone in an animation. Friends are the most recommended. You get to fix his or her face in a dummy’s helmet then kick this dummy at your own pleasure. You may or may not choose to send an application invitation to your victims but definitely they will be notified that you have used them in an animation.

Earning Coins

To kick someone, you are going to need money. Kickmania  provides daily coins depending on your level power. The higher your power level, the more coins you get. Sending Kickmania  invitation can also earn you coins. Once, a friend accepts your invitation, you get to have 1000 coins. In addition, you can also have coin bonuses through achieving new ranks and by buying coins through credit cards or PayPal.

The Fun of the Game (Tips and Pointers)

• For an effective kick, just wait for the power meter to its peak, and then click with your mouse. It’s tricky at first, but practice makes perfect.
• The distance of kick also depends on the angle of the aim. Follow the angle shown at the animation. This way, you’ll have farther kicks.
• You may also use explosives. They are dynamites scattered below the landing sites. Press the space bar to send them off. But remember, the dummy should land after the explosives, not before them.
• Kicking dummies at the back of their head, at the right angle can also be an effective technique to send them at farther distances.
• For 50 ‘asses owned’, you get to have 250 power level; for 100 ‘asses owned’, 500 power level; and for 200 ‘asses owned’, you get to unlock the 1000 power level, enough to send someone flying across the globe.
• You can keep a friend or an ‘ass owned’ as long as a player cannot kick him farther than you.
• Once you ran out of friends to kick, you can still get ‘asses’ from other players you do not know.
• You can only get three ‘asses owned’ from friends or other people for one day.
• In choosing a prospect player whom you would steal ‘asses’ from, pick a player with the shortest kick.
• Never steal an ‘ass’ from a player with a rank way too high from you. Chances are, he could get back at you trice and worst, you may get the chance to be ‘owned’ by him.

Goals

For most, besides the fun, it is always the rank that matters. Yet, for my friend it is something else.

This is supposed to be my friend’s article but she decided that I should write this for her. The terms ‘asses’ and ‘asses owned’ are too much for her. She told me, she has a ‘sweet reputation’ in Triond and she wanted to keep it that way. Anyway, this is her story.

She was first kicked by a friend of her husband.  In their part, it was not offending but rather funny. To see a dummy with a smiling face, soar into the air, then crash down against a brick wall after an 84 meter fall- and even with her own face? My friend had been eager to get the application herself. She did admit that her first aim was to have revenge at her husband’s friend and she did- kicked him for four meters, not actually owned him but kicked him for the fun of it.

My friend’s husband didn’t like the idea, of her being ‘owned’ by other people. Upon getting the Kickmania application, my friend’s husband kicked her farther than his husband’s pal and for 114 meters, she was owned by her own husband for two weeks. She was snatched then from her husband for 144 meters by a stranger. And again, somebody, a fellow countryman of hers, kicked her farther, that this person now ‘owns’ my friend for 166 meters. These people are on her wish list. Still for the fun of the game, my friend intends to ‘own’ these people in the future.

Her plan did change. Just recently, she discovered that a player can ‘own’ him or herself. Now, that will be a real prize for her, ‘to own what is rightfully hers’!

As a friend of her, I was welcomed to Facebook with a kick. At present I am still in rank four but gaining on her. Here is my Facebook account link, dare to send me a friend request? Here in FB, we do not ’spam’ on people, but we do kick their asses! And no Farmville request, please!
