Then you need more friends, or maybe the "right" friends. Just kidding. I am selling corn right now.

That's what I was thinking. Keep in mind this was during the time of natural childbirth (the 70's) and one of the things they taught in the class was to have a focal point to consentrate on during the contractions. So I pictured a mom whose focal point was a can of hairspray.............

I have been playing this game for almost a year now and it's always that way for me, my friends who play also notice the same thing.
And I thought this game was set up to help each other out, if that is so then why is it always dog eat dog to get something in the paper or activate bushes and trees, this should be called: Cut throat farming, not hayday, because that is basically what it is.
Just some thoughts on the game, I could add other issues but I will leave it at that for now.

Yes the game is designed this way...you have played long enough to figure this out.

An awesome NH nullifies this which supercell hates....but they deal with. None the less....the programming dynamic still is real. Hence more you have...more you get from all EM.

if your low on something....townies will ask for it....and if you have something in excess....they rarely ask for it.

Programming is there for diamond spending....which I think very few(smart) people use in terms of instant stuff for HD.

HD isn't a giant grossing game and we all know why....nothing to lose and we can wait.....yet the dynamics for diamond spending are built in throughout the game....most find out quickly the waiting game is much easier and diamonds are spent wisely in other areas if you spent money to have them.

I don't think so. I think people tend to be upset by negative aspects of things more than they appreciate positive ones. Sometimes i do this myself too :) You might win a wool from the wheel of fortune but the next day you win the derby and get the four saws you desperately needed :)

I used to think this was a deliberate ploy, but I now have farms on seperate devices so have access to other newspapers, and they are no more likely to have what I want.

Illusion. I just desperatly needed carrots, and every page had some to sell. And the RSS still had them available.

A couple of weeks ago, all of a sudden it seemed every other visitor to my gift shop wanted a diamond ring and very quickly I was out of them.

I couldn't find any to purchase, so I had to keep sending gift shop visitors packing to the train. So I spent a diamond to make a ring in the jeweller.

I haven't had a single request for a diamond ring since. Not one. Weird!
