I stopped helping people in paper.

Then NHs were introduced; she became co-leader and the NH filled up with (mostly) her and my followers. She was a lot of fun, even before we could chat in the NH. Sadly, she no longer plays, but two of her followers are still an important part of the NH and very popular co-leaders.

Personally, I'm a fan of the last helpers' list. It allows us to form friendships based on the way we play, rather than on the way we talk. Also, not everybody speaks English and can find friends on this forum.

happy farming

Another valuable perspective . . . lots of stuff to think about on this thread.

Yes, it's a good thread! I haven't helped strangers in the DD since a bad experience a while ago, because of LH. Helping strangers used to be one of my favorite activities in the game; and long before gift cards, I would love helping every farm I could - just for fun (the Santa Claus factor, I suppose).

I finally helped one, today. His farm name made me laugh: "Field_Marshall"

Thx. I tried to bing search it and had found nothing. 🤓 Here's some 💎💎 for you, for being so helpful. :)

LOL. I had never used "LH" but saw others doing it and thought that was cool. I can save on typing. :smirk:;)

Definitely needs to go in the acronym thread if not there already.

Don't get me started on acronyms -- I was in the Navy. We're the WORST when it comes to acronymical tongue twisters

I didn't know there was an acronym thread. Never saw it before, but then again, I'm blind. 🤓

As as for short kuts, I usually go to Settings, then scroll down to keyboard. After I open that, I click on text replacement and add it to my list, so when I type "LH", it types "last helper."

Good Idea, but I suggest LHT for Last Helper's Tab since it's such a hot button topic.

Think about it, if someone helped u in the DD but u don't have access to go to that person's farm...would it be that big of a deal? U would be grateful that person helped u, u probably wouldn't mind not having access to their shops. Players not helping in the DD as of now would be flocking to the DD to help. Those who need help would be helped, probably at a faster rate. Those who don't want unwanted strangers to drop by would have that peace of mind. All parties involved would be winners. I see no downside to it at all.

Haystacker, I have thought about your idea. FYI, here's what I do when farmers help my boat.

1. Go to their farms and help their boats.
2. If I still see exclamation points, then I zoom out and find which plants needed to be revived.
3. Finally, I go to their shops and buy some goods.

Your idea, while fascinating, is incompatible with my playing style whose foundation is reciprocity.

I do the same thing but with friends and followers only. The LH tab is uber useful especially if u have hundreds of friends and followers. No need to scroll down the list to find that specific person. Use the tab to teleport instantaneously to the helper's farm. Personally, I'm a huge fan of it. I find it highly useful...minus the all-access, shop til u drop, uninvited aspect of it strangers seem to highly enjoy. But hey, that's just me.

Don't worry Lynn, it's just an idea which has no legs to it. And I doubt it's something SC is running to implement. Just throwing suggestions out there.
