has any one else had random freinds request from people looking for FV neighbours, I assume they are googling

simpson · 16/11/2009 09:27

no only people have been from MN...

KnitterInTheNW · 16/11/2009 09:39

Anyone can add me too, if you can find me on other MNers friends lists, initials KT, piccy of me with DS in paddling pool.

I asked a random asker once where they found me to ask, and yes they googled. This thread comes up apparently.

Niecie · 16/11/2009 11:45

Alwayslooking, thanks, I already have you.

Simpson and KnitterintheNW I am hoping I have the right people as I have sent you both a friends request.

Simpson, I pressed enter before I got to put a message on saying who I was so hopefully you will realise it is me. My user name on MN is based on my real name so hopefully you will work it out!

Thank you for your help ladies.

Can I just ask, as many of you are on Cafe World too, whether anybody else is suffering a lack of customers? Is it just my cooking or has the credit crunch affected eating out habits of computer generated people.

I think it might be down to poor service as my waiting staff seem to just stand there sometimes and don't move, even when the customers walk out in disgust because they can't get served. Can't say as I blame them - I would do the same!

Quick question - what is the etiquette when getting a bonus from friends on farmville?
I usually select "like" rather than making a comment saying thankyou - is this regarded as rude?

alwayslookingforanswers · 16/11/2009 13:06

Niecie - I am on Cafeworld - but haven't played for about a week, got bored of it, but kept it so my friends still have me to visit.

Pin your waiters in - they serve much faster - kind of telekinetic

Flier - I usually just do a "like"

simpson · 16/11/2009 17:06

neicie - is that you who just requested me as neighbour on cafe world??

If your waiters are just standing there then it means you need to re arrange your set up iyswim.

Waters need to be able to get to each table easily.

My lay out works good and usually have buzz of 105 as long as I don't run out of food which I keep doing ATM

Or forgetting to close cafe before I go to bed

alwayslookingforanswers · 16/11/2009 18:35

not they don't need to be able to get to the tables at all.

Honestly - go look at my cafe - they're penned into and can't get out - and they SERVE QUICKER

oh - got blue friends ribbon today and levelled up to 42 without noticing lol

simpson · 16/11/2009 18:54

LOL at levelling up without noticing

That happened to me when I got to level 40

Cafe world wise my cafe is doing well only thing that is v slow is the cook (ie me ) taking forever to serve up dishes when they are ready iyswim

alwayslookingforanswers · 16/11/2009 19:07

yea - one of the reasons I quit - I had loads of money, permanent 105buzz rating, but it was TOOOOO SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

Niecie · 16/11/2009 20:20

Simpson - yes it was probably me with the neighbour request.

I might try penning my waiters in. At the moment, as far as I can see, they can get around easily enough. The customers certainly can.

Or perhaps I will move the table and see what happens. I wouldn't mind but I have just increased the size of the cafe and I only added one extra table so there should be loads of room.

Oh decisions, decisions. Its a huge responsibility having your own catering business.

simpson · 16/11/2009 20:30

It took 3 attempts before my buzz rating went up kept moving all the tables and chairs around etc but then I could not keep up with demands with food etc when then customers flooded in ...

Alwayslooking - think they are introducing rosette style rewards for cafe world soon, maybe that will entice you back

alwayslookingforanswers · 16/11/2009 20:32

there must be a clear side of the table that the waiter can get to otherwise the person won't get served (does't apply if you're pinning them in )

alwayslookingforanswers · 16/11/2009 20:38

nah - the whole thing just runs too slow for me. besides - I've just added country life

KnitterInTheNW · 16/11/2009 21:09

I 'do' restaurant city, which I assume is like cafe world. Def pen the waiters in!

simpson · 16/11/2009 21:50

yes I like country life is v different but be warned I couldn't get on it yesterday and when I did my cheese machaine was gone

alwayslookingforanswers · 16/11/2009 22:00

yes some of my stuff temporariliy disappeared yesterday - but all turned up again after I'd visited a few other farms.

oh well - if I lose them I lose them, only a new game so bound to be "glitches".

I've been gifted 2 cheese machines, rabbit, sheep and a few other bits so I'm racking up the XP already

mammya · 16/11/2009 22:00

Hi guys, I need just 3 more neighbours in Farmville and then I can expand. Please add me as a neighbour. Addy is bouboubidou at hotmail dot co dot uk
Thanks!

simpson · 16/11/2009 22:08

yes got gifted another cheese machine straight alway so all ok

Quite like the concept of the game tbh although struggle to remember what needs what iyswim

alwayslookingforanswers · 16/11/2009 22:11

yes it's very clever, I really need to buy another bee hive though - it's taking for every for my one hive to get through the clover so taking for ever to get to my "finished product". Either that or they need to "up" the number of products that can be sat there waiting at any one time

simpson · 16/11/2009 22:15

well I want to expand but need one more neighbour

Niecie · 16/11/2009 23:56

mammya - I have tried to add you as a neighbour but I can't work out your email address. How should the 'is' bit be typed? It is probably really obvious but I am just not getting it this evening.

Stretch · 17/11/2009 12:18

Add me please!!! I am a newbie on FV and FT. I also have fishville too!

sarah jeffrey 69 @ yahoo dot com. Remember to put MN name!

Niecie · 17/11/2009 12:41

I tried to add you Stretch and it isn't working. I copied your email address from here into the search box on FB, took out all the spaces, put in a dot and nothing comes up.

I am confused!
