Since I'm new to the thread and you all have been such a great help, may I give an opinion from a newbie's point of view on the 1st post?
It's clear and well written with good explanations for the reasons for the guidelines.
Only thing I would change is to have headings in bold for guidelines for easy reading.
Guidelines:
1. Accept Friend Requests. This is the first step before we can help you.
2. Include GC ID and Hay Day Level in posts on boat information. You can add this in your signature. This will help us find you more easily as we all have many friends and it is almost impossible to find a neighbour if you don't know where to look.
3. Ask for green light before sending boat away. After your boat has been filled please ask for the green light from one of our Main Captains* if it is okay to send it away. Sometimes we have a lot of candidates and a lot of boats coming in wanting the same items or items from the same machine or just after an update which provided new stuff to make. Therefore we sometimes need the extra time a boat is on the dock to work on our stock levels and replenish our stock. Most of the time it will be okay to send it but please ask us. Of course we will fit this in with your schedule.
4. Update on next boat orders. After you have sent the boat kindly give us an update on the next boat orders, boat number and the quantities you have. Tap on the empty dock to see a list of the next set of orders and give us an estimate on when the boat will arrive. This will help us prepare for your next boat. Not to worry that you don't know the quantities yet as we have the experience to make a good educated guess.
- Post again when the boat is in.
- If you are thinking about bringing in a boat early please ask the team of Main Captains* first. Sometimes we might ask you to bring in your boat early. In that case remember that this is totally up to you if you want to spend a diamond (no hard feelings if you don't).
- As long as you are still on your Captain III quest we kindly ask you not to help out other candidates boats or boats of those helping and let us worry about that. Please hold on to the stock you have as your next boat might want these same items. In the end this will help us all and it is not in the least bit selfish.
