@Lidewey - No. lol

I looked at this extensively last year. It has been around since the beginning of my play (March 2015). It doesn't seem to make a difference whether the friend plays the location or not. It doesn't even make a difference if they still play at all. Like you, I had a friend who retired from SS. He never had stickies. Conversely, a friend who played all locations every day, frequently had them.

I tried to determine if the different platforms made a difference, Nope! Cross platform charging (iOS, Kindle, WIN, Android) didn't seem to matter. Some stuck, some didn't.

I just realized what I didn't investigate was if the number of friends made a difference. It could be that a high number of friends (on your side) keeps the procedure from clearing out the file. Who knows!!?

Two workarounds:

1. Delete MyHelpsForFriends.xml

2. Pop in on friends when TTing. You don't have to charge anything, just visit one friend and leave while in the past. I think it may require a trip in excess of one day. Just going to yesterday and visiting one friend doesn't always work. Go back at least two days, pop in, move ahead one day, pop in, come back to today. This has been working for me for a long time. On days I don't TT, I rarely see the stickies, but there are 56 locations and 10 awards to charge so 10 stickies don't bother me. I move my charging around every day anyway.
