a new thread for us all. Most of us do Farmville, but we play quite a range of other games between us so weather you're into Mafia Wars, Farming, playing Bejewelled, Farkle, Cafes or any other games and you just can't stop - and your OH is bored sick of you saying

"Oh I levelled up" or "ooo I've got ribbon/mastery/whatever" - then this is the place to be. Even if we don't play "your" game we're still happy to hear you talking about how you're doing on it.

ALFA - just sent a friends request on FB.

Jux - If you tend multiple farms on the sme pc, it wont let you get the tings that come up...i.e. flower bunches, calves, bulls and other collectibles. You need to be on a different pc 1st to get it. What you can do though is.....get your DD to go to your brothers and when they come up....text her and she can collect them from there!!! highly impractical i know, but it is an option!!! HTH.

I have been playing farmville like a woman posessed lol and so too does my other half's aunt! even my 9yo DD ha sstarted to play about on my farm.
And I am playing far too many vamp games etc.
I'm terrible,I have two accounts on FB lol

I'm having trouble with CL as well. Might be a coincidence but it hasn't been the same since the weaving machine was introduced. It is a pain and it does put you off a bit.

We've been snowed in and DS2 hasn't been well so haven't done much farming. Been trying to get ready for Christmas but fates are conspiring against us at the moment.

LoremIpsum · 22/12/2009 12:45

Kingbeat and Jux, we, the kids, the cat, DH and I, tend 5 farms on one computer and are able to collect eggs, calves etc. from each other in the same way we do from any other player.

We're on a Mac and use Firefox, not sure if that would make any difference though.

Anyway lovely neighbours, we're off to the IL's real life farm tomorrow morning our time (we're in Sydney - I found MN looking for a fix from home). We'll be gone almost a week.

Have a lovely Christmas one and all.

Is Farmville down at the moment or is it just me?

Awassailinglookingforanswers · 22/12/2009 13:06

I've just finished planting up more blueberries - was ok for me. And just gone back into it no problems

Gosh, I haven't been on this thread for ages! I have been farming away though. Had a lovely time yesterday pottering around rearranging everything for maximum crop harvesting yet still retaining a delightful little country garden and a few animals

I've given up on trying to get my zoologist blue ribbon - I'll just get it when I get it. I'm fed up of collecting from zillions of animals. DD1 made me keep the rabbits and turtles though!

Right, I'm having a conversation with someone initials AK about mince pies on FB. I can't remember who you are on MN!!!! Please remind me!

simpson · 22/12/2009 15:02

just got on FV fine to harvest and plant yet more blueberries

Niecie · 22/12/2009 15:04

Well, since my last post a couple of hours ago I got onto CL (and stayed on it) and have harvested every plot, replanted it and made loads of stuff

And now I am on Level 28!! Hooray.

Right FV to tackle next.

Jux · 22/12/2009 15:08

Kingbeat, my bro lives 150 miles away - £50 return on the train! I don't think I'll be sending her down just to get some eggs!

However, if LoremIpsum can do it, then so can I [determined].

I suspect that going from one farm to another immediately doesn't help. I should do my lot (am now on FV, FT and CL), then spend some hours here on MN, then sign into facebook as dh and go to dd's. ATM I'm doing all the farming as she has been having friends over constantly and has much better things to do.

I could do with some more neighbours though. Anyone up for it?

simpson · 22/12/2009 16:26

Grr now can't get on CL

Its days are definately numbered...

simpson · 22/12/2009 17:28

don't know why I was trying though as my wheat is no way ready

Awassailinglookingforanswers · 22/12/2009 17:29

Awassailinglookingforanswers · 22/12/2009 18:04

OP posts:
simpson · 22/12/2009 18:26

what is it with my games today??

Now I am neighbourless on FV again

SantaWears2SnowShoes · 22/12/2009 18:43

oh it is twirling
lol
so what do you do with the flour, do you save it untill you are 100 years old and get a bread machine?

SantaWears2SnowShoes · 22/12/2009 18:47

i have no neighbours on fv, I am sure they will come back

nymphadora · 22/12/2009 19:19

I want a mill >

simpson · 22/12/2009 19:22

2shoes - mine have just come back on FV

simpson · 22/12/2009 19:59

must be catching

All my neighbours gone on IP now

desertgirl · 22/12/2009 20:24

How come your CL is working enough for your mill to be twirling, 2shoes, when I still can't get on!!!! frustrating. At least these crops don't spoil but how can I expand my farm if I can't get to it?

hope they sort out their glitches soon, even if they are a symptom of upcoming cool things

PersonalClown · 22/12/2009 20:26

Does CL go down a lot??

Shoes MADE me start a ranch.. that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Awassailinglookingforanswers · 22/12/2009 20:31

IT went down for a weekend a month or so back didn't it. Give it time, it'll be fine - don't forget it is also nearly Christmas - even the game developers I'm sure are having a holiday/reduced staff.

At least we don't lose our crops, just make sure you don't accept any gifts from it until you can get in safely

OP posts:
PersonalClown · 22/12/2009 20:34

I need neighbours on nearly all of the games.

Anyone want to add me.. I'm on Shoes list. DW, pic of me PMSL at someone/thing ( I dunno as I was drunk). Please stick the game you play in the message so I know to add you!!
