Just curious as to what you all think makes a good neighbor. I'm relatively new here and am still learning the ropes. All opinions welcome.. Feel free to go into as much detail as you'd like.

This is my opinion, I think a good neighbor helps with boat crates, puts good things up for sale in stand, revives my trees and bushes. Buys from me on a regular basis, and doesn't take everything. I in turn do the same.
I have my own standards, so here goes...I never ask for help on sugar/dairy boats. I try to open one crate of each item on the boat to let neighbors get thank you cards. I mostly sell good stuff, and if I am loading my stand while a neighbor is there, I will sometimes put up expansion items for 1 coin for them. When visiting a neighbor's stand, I never take all their goodies, only a couple items because I want their other neighbors to be able to get goodies too. I sometimes write notes to neighbors in my farm name, just to be friendly. I hit the like button on all my neighbor's farms. Isn't it funny...hay day etiquette!
Thanks for the replies!
Hay Day etiquette IS funny and is the main reason why I am asking this question in the first place! I know raiding is considered a big No-No. I'm also seeing people say that they aren't into helping out with sugar and dairy crates and I'm wondering the reasoning for this? Is it because these particular items take long to produce?
Sugar and dairy are ingredients that are used in many products. Few of us have surplus of those items. I will help when I can, but that is unusual.Quote:

Im sure you'll get lots of good advice and tips, but the main thing is play the game the way you want to play! If something sounds good, try it out, see if it works for you, if not, no problem! That's the beauty of HD! You're the boss!
As far as being a good neighbor, helping out with boat crates if you want and are able to, and watering trees and shrubs are always appreciated. Keeping a varied supply of goods in your stand is a sign of neighborliness, but again what you decide to sell and for how much is wholly up to you!
About the only two ways to be labeled a "bad" neighbor is by raiding... the practice of buying out a stand all at once or several times in row. It's a very divisive touchy topic for some around here, but you'll soon get an idea of where people stand on the subject if you read through some of the older threads on it.
The second way is by stealing a trade. Even though trading isn't officially sanction by Supercell, when two players are trading items, the etiquette is that an item in a stand's last box (& usually priced well below max) is hands off since its most likely a private trade item. Again it's a touchy topic for some, but since a lot of players don't join the forums, they really have no idea of these kinds of "infractions."
You've made the first major step toward be a good neighbor by coming here and asking your question, so happy farming! You can add me on GC if you'd like. I think you'd fit right in with the rest of my neighborhood!
Lady Jem you said what I failed to say.Quote:

On being a good neighbor, my ideas are more specific:
A neighbor is anyone on my friends, followers, and helpers list. Some of this also goes for farms I encounter in the dd and boat leader board.
Check all neighbors at least two times a day to see if they need anything. Frequent players, more often. Friends, since there is a dedicated tab, much more often.
Take care of their needs as best I can, including contributing coveted items to boat orders. No item is off limits if I have enough of it and it is not in the next boat order for my farm.
Help low level farms by buying full priced goods from them, and placing default priced or deeply discounted low level items in my rss for them.
Refilling my rss several times daily with a mix of premium and discounted items.
Purchasing considerately...my definition for my own behavior only is one or two of premium or discounted items, all I want/need of full priced common items. Since my barn is usually full, I don't buy frivolously anyway.
Shop the dd for items I see a neighbor needs that I do not have in stock to provide for them.
Grow or manufacture items for neighbors in need.
Leave messages (thanks, help needed, absences from play, attempts to let a farm know i have put a needed item in my rss, etc,) on the farm name board. Also make rss purchases as invitations to farms needing something to come to my rss where I have put the needed item.
Interpret generously.
There are good neighbor things I do not do:
I do not open crates unless I need to, so am not helpful in that way. Any opened crate not filled in ten minutes or so by a neighbor goes into the dd with a request for help (meanwhile I am busy shopping for it hoping to fill the crate myself).
I would like to help by opening crates, but I play usually for short periods multiple times daily and can't monitor open crates effectively.
I don't play as much on weekends, so that could be seen as a negative.
I don't do much rearranging on my farm, so it loses some entertainment value.

A good neighbor will never put up cream/sugar/dairy I don't really understand WHY anyone does this in the first place (unless doing captain thing) it's utterly pointless because most people won't help you fill it either so you're left doing it yourself anyways so might as well put something else up for help.
Unfortunately, half my neighbors do this and I'm too lazy to delete.
But yeah, mainly revive trees, help boats :D.
I usually raid people's roadside shop T_T. If it's items I Need (well, want) then I'll take everything lol. I didn't realize it was frowned upon by people lol. I mean who wouldn't buy all 40 jams of the 4 different jams :( . It was just so irresistible!
Great advice. It is interesting to learn how other people do things, and i enjoy reading on the forum about differing approaches to and understanding of the game. But my favorite aspect of hay day is that we all play the game the way it makes most sense to us. And since we have the ability to build our neighborhoods, if someone does not like the way someone else plays, they can move on. Very liberating.Quote:

Another thing that I won't do is buy something from a neighbor's RSS if s/he needs help with crates I can't fill. I've always seen it as a thank you or first dibs to the person who can fill that person's crates.
What a wonderful idea!! That is so thoughtful. :D I usually just put something that I think they need, but I think I will do THIS from now on. :DQuote:

If you want to raid my shop go ahead...Im just going to fill it up again and i get paid regardless of who buys it! :) Lighten up!
Γεια σας.
Έχω το παιχνίδι ‘’hay day’’ και κατά διαστήματα με γίνονται “likes”.
Πριν από καιρό είχα συνδεθεί με έναν λογαριασμό φίλου μου στο facebook για να πάρω τα δώρα του παιχνιδιού και έπειτα αποσυνδέθηκα. Προσωπικά εγώ δεν έχω λογαριασμό facebook.
Από τότε κατά διαστήματα μου γίνονται κάποια “likes” στο παιχνίδι χωρίς να είμαι συνδεδεμένος στο facebook και χωρίς να έχω λογαριασμό facebook. Πως γίνεται αυτό;
Παρατήρησα ότι όταν παίζω το παιχνίδι εάν πάω στο προφίλ μου βλέπω ότι το Like count είναι “f”, εάν συνδεθώ με έναν λογαριασμό facebook γίνονται 151. Eάν αποσυνδεθώ και συνδεθώ με άλλον λογαριασμό facebook τα like count παραμένουν τα ίδια.
Πώς γίνεται να με κάνουν like χωρίς να έχω facebook;
Επίσης πώς γίνεται να είμαι αποσυνδεδεμένος από το facebook και εκεί που παίζω να μου έρχεται “like”;
Ευχαριστώ εκ τον προτέρων.
Whats the big deal about face book likes? Anyways...This may be more of a technical issue. I would read through the "Bugs & Issues" thread. If you don't find your answer there. Post your situation and someone may be able to help you.;)Quote:

One thing I like to do for my neighbors is to buy building and expansion items from the Daily Dirt and reselling them in my stand for my friends. I work nights and it seems a little easier to get the items then. I know several neighbors have bought a lot of supplies from me.

Really? Are you serious?
I became friends with some that stated raiders would be deleted. I only bought one or two items from them, but I really needed that cake, that pie and those pancakes to fill my truck orders. Well, I finally got tired of walking on eggshells and deleted them. Now I'm a happy little camper once again.;)
AMEN TO THAT!! I don't walk on eggshells either. PERIOD. If someone deletes me because I bought a cake or pie (or 40 jams) too many, that's fine. They play how they want to, I play how I want to.Quote:

I wouldn't even know if I get deleted. I just don't pay that much attention to who my neighbors are.
Here's the thing for me about sugar and dairy crates and this doesn't apply to captains achievement seekers and folks who just don't know yet that they can send away these boats un filled. When 17 of the 20 boats on my needs help list are asking for the same hard to keep items, it distresses me that I can't help them. I have tried, but since the boats ask for so many of them, what little I have is gone by the first boat. I have asked for help with maybe one crate at times but I have a whole lot (over 400) friends and most of them are high level players who can usually fill that one crate for me. But when a player flags three cream crates and leaves that boat for the full 16 hours, never returning to fill any of them on their own, then I have to concede that they don't want to help themselves or as has been suggested aren't really interested in filling the boat. Whatever the reason, I just know I can't help them.Quote:

I can do this because the boats don't ask for crazy high amounts of these, so that those 8 brown sugars needed in one crate on one boat can make several pies that fill even more crates on multiple boats.
When I notice that they aren't playing much or selling anything, in addition to the above, then I tend to unfriend them since our relationship isn't helping either of us.
For me being a good neighbor is any active player with the exception of the mean folks who like to call people out by name to embarrass them and shame them just because they play the game as it was intended and not by some made up rules of theirs.
Play the way you like, buy one or two or all of it in one fell swoop. If the game allows it, then it is the right way to play. However just because the game allows you to change your farm name doesn't mean you have to be cruel.

Brandi,
Welcome to to the game and to the forums.
This sums it up very nicely.Quote:

I am sorry but just like the other etiquette threads this one will be closed as well because people just have different opinions.
Happy farming.:)
