LOL - are you "M" - I'm hopeless at remembering who is who - apart from Simpson who is obvious .

Watch out - I'm gaining speed fast and I WILL overtake you by the end of the month

alwayslookingforanswers · 22/11/2009 12:19

oh bolllox sorry didn't see your post - will get that last post of mine deleted.

simpson · 22/11/2009 12:23

Ok I know who you are now

Got it wrong am only on level 12 on CL

Have to confess FV is still my all time fav and if I was forced to give all games up but one I would keep FV

SarahSon · 22/11/2009 12:24

Oh ALFA, don't worry, it is not a big deal! especially with only one intitial! Please don't worry about it.

alwayslookingforanswers · 22/11/2009 12:24

you sure?? - will get it deleted if you want.

SarahSon · 22/11/2009 12:38

Nah, I am being overly precious about it I think - just don't give the other initial and I will cope

alwayslookingforanswers · 22/11/2009 12:45

ok - well as it only shows first initial on the CL neighbours tab you're safe .

SarahSon · 22/11/2009 12:50

mrspink27 · 22/11/2009 16:46

I have sent requests to a few people... but dont know if they will be accepted. Initials are N H... does anybody need a new neighbour.... I am now v addicted to this!

Niecie · 22/11/2009 20:11

mrspink27 - you can add me if you like. My email address is on my post of 13th November (about 13.18). I'd rather not write it out again as I don't really want to out myself all over again and draw more attention to myself. On the other hand I need more neighbours!!!!

SarahSon · 22/11/2009 21:00

Yay, level 17 on CL

I am saving up for an expansion but the second expansion is £35,000 or something silly! I can't wait to see how much the next ones cost!

alwayslookingforanswers · 22/11/2009 21:27

next ones are:

21x21 75,000
23x23 150,000
25x25 350,000

I'm nearly on level 16.

I've cheated though - I've spent most of the afternoon signing up for free offers using my spam email account to get RC and bought a few showers of rain and 1000 organic fertilizer.

So I'll be over taking you tonght >> - oh and probably buying expansion LOL.

SarahSon · 22/11/2009 21:47

Lol good luck

I tried a few of the sign up things but most of them seem to want too much from me, like credit card applications and things...sorry but I am not taking a credit card for some RC

I get the impression you just like being in the lead don't you ALFA?

alwayslookingforanswers · 22/11/2009 21:51

oh I'll never be in the lead on this game with my friends - got ones on level 27 and 33 !

Yeah lots of them I didn't do because they wanted credit card details or for me to download stuff. But anything that didn't need those...........I did it .

Spam email is already being inundated with spam - but hey that's why it's my Spam email

alwayslookingforanswers · 22/11/2009 21:54

but yeah - I do like being in front . I'm in the lead of all my neighbours on FV and Country Story, and generally top the leader board of Bejewelled Blitz too .

Won't be doing anymore once this bag of fertilizer is gone, apart from the daily application of the day (which I deleted a few days later) so it'll just be the next couple of hours that I zoot up lol

alwayslookingforanswers · 22/11/2009 21:57

mind you - I've got an incredibly hectic couple of weeks coming up with school stuff and church stuff (being the organist at the latter and Christmas coming up) - so you might like to sieze the next 4 weeks or so to catch up

simpson · 22/11/2009 22:11

have got 35 animals to harvest thern got blue rosette (is blue top or red I forget??

Anyway which ever, will be the top one

Considering getting rid of my animals then as they take up too much room.

Only other rosettes to get are the new ones introduced recently ie fertilising others crops etc (which I have not done for 2 days!!)

should have pumpkin mastery sign tomorrow first thing then going to start on rice

Niecie · 22/11/2009 22:13

ALFA - do you use a desktop or a laptop to play Bejewelled?

My old laptop could cope with playing it but the new one is hopeless. However, I have always got better results on a desktop. Seems to be able to go faster. I usually beat my friends, or at least I did before you appeared at the top of the leader board, making me feel inadequate!

Finally managed to plant up the whole plot on CL. Think I expanded too soon and didn't have the money to actually play.

Note to self: patience is a virtue.

alwayslookingforanswers · 22/11/2009 22:20

lol Simpson - you're snapping at my heels on FV and you don't know that the blue ribbon is the top one .

I got rid of most of my animals to concentrate on plants once I got my ribbon for it. Not only do they take up room -but they slow the game down as well as they're animated.

Well done on the pumpkin - going to be end of the week before I get my 5th mastery sign - will be sunflowers.

Have 3 ribbons left to get in total, the last 2 of the harvesting fertilized crops one, and the blue flower harvesting one.

Niecie - I use a desktop - don't own a laptop .

I've done that before many moons ago on FT or was it FV? Expanded before I could actually afford it.

Now I ALWAYS make sure that I've planted the next lot of crops/spent any money that needs spending before doing extras like that

simpson · 22/11/2009 22:28

LOL I have done the expanding thing then been broke too

Can't remember whiuch game though, think it was RCK

Should get another mastery sign sometime this wk for strawberries.

TBH I have a lot of crops I have got 2 stars for iyswim so hopefully can fill my farm with signs LOL.

ALFA - if you say animals slow down farm, they are doomed

SarahSon · 22/11/2009 22:28

How does rain work ALFA? Is it one rain over all the plants you have or something? I am a bit confused by it as it costs the same as 200 feltiliser that you can select where you use...

alwayslookingforanswers · 22/11/2009 22:34

I guessed we've all lived and learned with the expanding too soon thing.

Yes they slow the game down, it's because they're animated. I noticed a definite "speed up" when I got rid of all those cows and chickens I used to own.

Rain works by raining once over all the plants (and trees) and reducing the time for all of them by 25%. The fertilizer you can select, and use more than once on one plot (so you could plant 2 corn fields and with 8 fertilizers have them ready to harvest in 8 clicks).

alwayslookingforanswers · 22/11/2009 22:35

bugger - all that fertilzer and several lots of harvests and replants and I'm STILL not up to level 17 -doesn't help that everything you earn xp points for is worth 1xp

SarahSon · 22/11/2009 22:39

Yes, another thing I have noticed, clover is far and away best for xp because you use it 3 times IYSWIM (to get to cheese) so get 4xp rather than 2 you get for everything else (including planting it).

I am pushing for my second expansion...but am getting out off by the cautionary tales here. so far I have not ben causght out but I probably will be now due to over-enthusiasm

alwayslookingforanswers · 22/11/2009 22:40

hmm going to be decision time soon.

Do I get a mill that gets through the wheat in 45 seconds, and sell for 62

or stick with the shepp that take longer at 90 seconds, but make me 1 coin more per wheat.......
