You cannot delete the GC app so you do have it, just look.

I sent you a friend request through GC when you first posted and it went through. Either you already have a GC account or someone shares your name and they got my request.

Anyway, if you've not yet done so, when you open the GC app, it will show 5 choices at the bottom: Me, Friends, Games, Challenges, Requests.

Me is where YOU set up your GC account. Just follow the on-screen instructions.

Friends is where you'll see a listing of all people you've connected to through GC friend requests. These same people will show up on your friends tab on your Hay Day farm. There will also be a "+" in the upper left corner. Click this + and you'll be able to send a request to another person, providing you know their GC id. Many of us list our ids in our signatures and the id will often appear as the shop or farm name.

Games lists all the Apple games you've played.

Challenges is where you'll find head-to-head challenges for other games that have been sent to you. These have been getting sent automatically lately and have become quite a nuisance so you can decline these to delete them.

Request is where you will find request sent to you that you can accept or decline.

ok! I found it! I had to turn my ipad for the list to show up.

It is hard to judge how these things work really, so I agree with CheddarLimbo. I put stuff in my stall and within seconds everything except the bacon and eggs are gone. Gone! As I put something into the slots it disappears. And within minutes even the bacon and eggs are gone too. And this is true whether I advertise or not. The only time things stay in that shop is when i put indigo, strawberries, eggs and roasted tomatoes in at the top price. :p

Otherwise it might easily appear to someone visiting in the middle of the day that my stall is always empty and since I find it very challenging to help with sugar (10 brown sugar needed for one crate?!! You must be joking!) and dairy boats (8 cheese per crate?!!!!) (and so many of my neighbours request help on those) it might appear that I'm always buying stuff and asking for help and never helping back in return. :rolleyes:

But I do know what you mean. It gets frustrating when you pop open a boat you think might not be too hard for friends and neighbours to fill and you end up having to scrounge around to fill it or have to watch sadly as you couldn't get anyone to fill that 3 butter crate in time. These days I cast any boat off that I cannot fill myself. I will give my neighbours the opportunity to help me out (:rolleyes:) with one of each item. But if it doesn't get filled after a while then I fill it myself and send that boat off. Last night I even put cornbread and blackbery muffins in my stall at default price so that whoever came by could buy them and help my boat out at the same time. lol.

I usually always have stuff in my stall for sale unless I'm bought out. Sometimes things go pretty quickly.

Empty shops are....BORING. Sell something, anything please.

Maybe it's the hot summer weather (for us in the N. hemisphere), but is anyone else finding this thread full of kind of grumpy neighbours? I had no idea people were that careful and critical about checking their neighbours out before helping.

Now I'm feeling bad about not being there 24/7 for everyone, but I'm usually rearranging my Gazanias, adding pools and benches and buying yet more trees with my precious vouchers to replace those I thoughtlessly cut down at the beginning of the game. Gosh, it takes half my play time just turning away those pesky little people! But I try to help whoever needs it, friend, follower or stranger from the paper...it just seems right for me, but not a big deal if it's not returned...sheesh! (random acts of kindness anyone?)

I only accept a boat I know I can fill myself eventually, but I always advertise one or two crates for some awesome friend to fill for me. That gives me pleasure and him/her pleasure too, I would hope. I also always stock my stall regularly although not constantly with good stuff at cheaper than full prices and now that I'm finished expanding everything on my farm, I am happy to pass along ALL those items to friends in need.

I love how Hay Day is so international and recognize that half my neighbours may be in bed while I'm Hay Daying, but I think we need to accept that everyone plays it differently and hopefully, we play it to have fun! PLEASE, happy farming to all.

Today I added Jams, nails, planks, ice cream, cakes, pies, mallets, stakes, deeds, jewellery. And it sat there for hours, then everything was brought by someone I've never seen buy from me before. They took everything. But if I filled my stalls each time like that, re stocking each time it was brought, I'd have nothing left. Sometimes, I guess people visit my shop at the wrong time of the day...

you have really awesome stuff at your shop - fish & chips, jellybeans, deeds, popsicles, ice cream. i HAD to refrain myself from buying you out lol

Hi. I don't think people here are being grumpy. For myself helping others boats etc is the main reason I keep playing. There's nothing for me to unlock anymore. I rarely do truck orders. I would like to get the last 2 horses eventually. That's not much to hold someone's interest though. The problem with neighbors who appear not to be helping is that I still only have 1 jam maker for example. I can make maximum of 3-4 jams per day. If I help a friend who I see is not helping others then later I may not have what is needed to help a friend who I know is out spreading the love around. I would rather help the helpers love hay day than the non-helpers. And since there's no chat the only way I can sort of encourage the helpful people is to make sure I help them as often as I can. To do that, sad to say, I have to make them a priority over those who are clearly not contributing to the positive environment of the hay day community.

Also just keep in mind that all communication here is text only. The tone you read into written text is not always what the writer intended. I have learned that the hard way from previous online experiences. It is best to try to read things with the most positive light possible. Give people the benefit of the doubt as often as possible. Then even if they intended to be grumpy it doesn't negatively effect your day.

And if you are trying to be helpful people will know that. Nobody expects you to be filling boats and watering trees all the time. Just enjoy the game as you see fit and let others think what they want. Just the courtesy you show in not asking for help for all the hard things builds you up in the mind of a lot of players. People love the chance to help boats that aren't always asking for dairy, sugar, popcorn, etc. I would love a neighbor like that.
