have accepted

Can't send neighbour request till tom as exceeded daily allowance for gifts/requests etc

KnitterInTheNW · 15/11/2009 00:10

me too! Didn't realise you can't send requests if you've sent 24 gifts. You live and learn!

alwayslookingforanswers · 15/11/2009 00:11

just a tip - if you didn't alread realise - you know the "neighbours" tab - where you can send invites to friends who play but aren't our neighbours.

You can visit your "friend-but-not-neighbour's" farms by clicking on their names on that list. You get the xp and coins for helping fertilizing even though they're not "neighbors".

simpson · 15/11/2009 00:12

LOl exactly!!

Will sen you neighbour reuest tom

KnitterInTheNW · 15/11/2009 00:13

what will you do when you've got all the ribbons alwayslooking? I breathed a sigh of [almost] relief when I broke the 1000 trees to harvest barrier earlier. Only 913 left for blue ribbon now

alwayslookingforanswers · 15/11/2009 00:16

Knitter - there's all those mastery signs to collect still - apparently (according to some geeky people on the Zynga forums) it'll take over a year to get them all even if you did maximum harvest of a 20x20 field every 24hrs (obviously will have shortened now we've got the 22x22)

KnitterInTheNW · 15/11/2009 07:53

I have... 2 of them already! A whole 2!

alwayslookingforanswers · 15/11/2009 09:03

I've got a whole 3 of them - so long way to go yet

Especially if they decide to add more new crops for the higher levels, remember when we started the crops stopped at level 34/35 then they added more lol

KnitterInTheNW · 15/11/2009 09:26

When I started I think broccoli was the highest one you could get, and it was a long way off at the time!

Am I right in thinking that it takes more harvests of crops that take say 4 or 8 hours to grow to get any of the harvestry stars, than something that takes a day or longer?

VeronicaMars · 15/11/2009 09:41

I love FV but I've just realised that you need 20 neighbours to be able to expand your farm. So I am stuck with my little plot. Everyone I've added as neighbours plays fv but any other requests have been ignored! Don't want to bug any of my friends that don't play because it just seems a bit sad!!

RoseBlossoms · 15/11/2009 09:44

To get FV money not cash, i didnt buy it i filled in those crappy surveys, just did one an evening till they mounted up!

I couldnt get on my friends not neighbours farms today have they changed it?

Request me! Hannah Wilson!

2shoes · 15/11/2009 09:46

VeronicaMars add me
[email protected]
if you already have me, message me and I will send a message round to my FV neighbours to add you

alwayslookingforanswers · 15/11/2009 09:54

yea the numbers are definitely lower for longer crops than shorter ones - I guess because of the time thing, in theory you can do 3 lots of ghost chilli in a day, but only one of tulips et

You don't need FV Cash - and tbh I avoid those survey's for free ones like the plague as you'll get spam, spam, and more spam because of them.

Yes still getting on my "friends not neighbours" farms this morning

VeronicaMars · 15/11/2009 09:54

I've sent a request 2shoes, thank you, so kind

RoseBlossoms · 15/11/2009 10:05

oh well i just checked again and they are no longer underlined and cannot click on them anywhere?! Will check again later.

Have also sent you a request 2shoes hope you dont mind.

Always i have an email address simply for spam! I like the fv coins as i hate harvesting and plowing one at a time so i use them to buy petrol!

alwayslookingforanswers · 15/11/2009 10:07

have you got your farmer hemmed in? That makes the job much quicker

simpson · 15/11/2009 10:13

have sent a few neighbour requests this morning

Better go and do some farming as my pumpkins should be ready...

Don't have any mastery signs yet but have got loads of crops with 2 stars iyswim

alwayslookingforanswers · 15/11/2009 10:14

yes your pumpkins are ready - I popped in this morning to fertilize and "help"

simpson · 15/11/2009 10:18

cheers am plowing now!!

Just debating whether to plant more pumpkins which won't be ready till this eve or go for strawberries which will be ready at 2ish but am out and not back till 3/3.30

alwayslookingforanswers · 16/11/2009 00:21

I only have 43 more friends to help to get my blue ribbon (so will get that one tomorrow) , and 1250 (ish) crops to fertilize for my crop whisperer, and I might reach level 42 tomorrow

Niecie · 16/11/2009 00:36

I am on the look out for a couple more neighbours if anybody is interested.

I was going to use a tiny balance I have had sitting in my Paypal account for a few days to buy some FVs but I realised that thanks to the sterling efforts of 2shoes (thank you kindly 2shoes) I have more neighbours than I thought and I only need 2 more to get my expansion and avoid using RL cash.

So, if anybody is interested let me know.

I do send gifts - special requests catered for if required.

alwayslookingforanswers · 16/11/2009 00:40

oh you can add me - I'm on 2Shoes friend's list - intials GM, have a photo of 3 little boys all in red (if I don't have you already), and she's not around at the moment, but I'm sure Simpson won't mind you adding her from my list either (if you haven't got her), initials for her are RS (and her username here is a big give away as to who she is on FB )

simpson · 16/11/2009 07:58

you can add me too

Am also on 2shoes list.

Initials RS in red top & on level 40
