My very first experience with the "taken" thing was during my first 30 minutes playing the game. A girl (think she was called 'Miss Frizz' or "MizzFrizzle" or some such nonsense) comes up to me, and says "do u want to be taken??". I don't know what she means, intrigued, I answer "Yes". She comes over, virtually kisses me, and then leaves. I never saw her again for many months. By the time I saw her again, thankfully she didn't remember me :'D I wonder how many guys she did that to
