Dodgeball, as far as I can tell, works best when you only friend up your core peeps. It sounds like you suffer from over-friendification.

For me it really was the beginning of a social software ennui that is still with me pretty strongly today. I always said Dodgeball, at least as it was used among our crowd during that time, was the apotheosis of social software--the natural endpoint of many of its worst tendencies. Damn, I really have to write my own post now. Man, I wish I had time to write a response to this right now, because my experience of Dodgeball was exactly the same.
