Please check you pm's, there is one waiting for you.
Lol for a moment there i thought my ipad bugged out.... Why the bleep bleep is the font so huge!?? :p
First off, I was not shouting, shouting is when you use all caps, I was merely typing on the font my iPad was set to use on you forums. Secondly, it's a personal attack to tell someone to calm down and do yoga, when that person completely twisted my words around? I guess that's ok though, must be forum buddies? And thanks for the PM, I found your explanation very entertaining.Quote:

The way I read the original post she was not directing it at any one person, just a general comment. The fact that Morph reacted and posted is telling. You usually are guilty of the behavior if you think the post is talking about or directly to you.
Something to think about.
Telling someone to calm down and what to do is not exactly a nice thing to do either. Nobody likes to be TOLD what to do.
I ditto much of what Cricks, TinkerBell and others have said already (Sorry too lazy to scroll down lol).
I've been around the internet since oh... yeep 20 years at least. It takes all kinds. People feel safe behind a screenname and miles between themselves and a lot of the posters. It's a shame too. I am sure every one of us have come off "not looking good" to others at one time or another. The ones who keep doing it over and over or allow themselves to get too involved are the ones to watch for.
And I shall leave you with the old rule...."Don't feed the trolls!" (they'll come back if you do).
Quack
Had a respected member and frequent poster on this forum do this to me the other day in response to a post about getting a lobster boat order within an hour of the update. It rankled a bit, and inspired a "bet it would be different if it was you" thought or two, but rather than get into a silly and fruitless war of words with a stranger half a world away, I sought out my Zen place, filled it with happy thoughts, and went back to farming. After all it IS a game. There's no need to blow a gasket over it.Quote:

We may not always agree on things, but it sure helps if we try to be understanding because at one point or another we've all either been there or will be there.
Happy farming and loads of diamond filled mystery boxes to all!:)

With two days wait time on the net maker and the pool, & 34 hours on the soup maker, the only way to fill the order is to spend 144 diamonds to speed up completion. Even with SC's gift of 3 diamonds for updating, that's 141 hard earned shiny rocks that need to be found or purchased outright (which I don't do) to fill my next order.
Thy giveth (a piddling amount) with one hand, but taketh (a great sum) with the other. NOT COOL. This boat gets the heave-ho before it hits the dock!
Calm down now! If you think about it logically for SC to introduce the update without introducing the boat orders would mean yet another maintenance shutdown and update in a couple of days time to introduce boat orders, and probably a whole lot more work for the programmers. Just cast the boats off until you're ready, don't worry about it there will be plenty more. I bought the soup kitchen which was probably a bad move because I don't think I can afford anything else at the moment, so I've got nothing to go in my soup Ha!

Dear LadyJEM5,
If this was the post that upset you I am truly sorry. It was intended to be an 'arm round the shoulder hug' type of calm down now, and certainly not a 'don't be silly' type of calm down now. It's easy to forget when these new things are implemented that SC just can't always stagger the introductions, and so these irritating situations arise where we are asked for things that we cannot possibly have yet. We are 'all in the same boat' sorry about the pun, I was just trying to stop you from taking it too personally but obviously it got lost in translation, and I do apologise. I did repost on another thread later on that I had given this advice to you and then SC had made it worse when the double vouchers for boat orders came in, thereby 'rubbing salt in the wound' so I do feel your pain, and I did get four orders for lobster soup during the boat event. I just hired Tom it was the simplest solution.
I am sending you a GC friend request and really hope you will accept it so that I can make it up to you by helping with your future boats. Xx
It's hard to gauge what people feel and what the emotions are from words on a screen.
I read woozle's as more of a friendly kind of thing. Of course there have been people like you describe that make it sound like it was your fault for taking on the boat (some people don't know that you can cast off boats) but the whole cast off sugar/cream/xxx boat thing... I am on the fence about.
In the end though... the best advice I can give is some I see a lot here from Kendra and Tinkerbell (hello nice sweet mods...)- Just play the way you want to; don't worry about how others play unless it interferes or they are breaking rules. If people delete or get annoyed based on a game, then you may want to think twice about even being friends with them. Some do take this almost like a competition where "winning" is important.
Then there are those who just don't like specific kinds of boats. I send off a lot lol many times ice cream ones too.
