Players Should Have Accountability in Derby for FAIR PLAY!

[SaintsArcane]

It’s tale as old as time... You have your lifers that are a great team even if a little intense, they love to play they’re great people everyone has team down to the T...but after years of playing 5 or 6 eggscellent members aren’t enough and you want more!
In steps in the moochers, free loaders, the scum of this game. They sabotage the derby week after week, you kick them out of the neighborhood and continue looking for decent Hay Day Law abiding citizens. And yes we are given some tools to help vet out the good ones (must be this level, etc.) but all in all absolutely no accountability to the players that just float team to team leeching then floating.
And it is just a game but it is also a game where you have invested time, patience, for some players money and, have essentially built a small community (hood) within Hay Day.
Before I even accept a new player I go to their farm make sure their playing, check to see if they’ve spent any time decorating or organizing, in an attempt to see if they care at all or if they are simply leeches.
So my conclusion is this there should something to resolve this. There should a subsection for players that care. Or stats for players to show their effort in derbies. Or even a 5 strikes button that leaders can add 1 strike before booting that player out of the neighborhood for derby sabotage. So future hood leaders can see if a player is known for mooching and not participating.
Any form of accountability would be greatly appreciated. I’ve been playing this game for 6 years I’m level 126 and the game is getting boring I derby every single week except blossom derbies, personally hate those. I’m 9/9 tasks 320 only 2880 player and building my hood and playing derby are the only things getting me to play. For top level players there are no goals left like when you first start. But policing leeches is not fun or motivational and frankly makes the Hay Day Fair and Safe play policy look tarnished at best.

I agree it is rediculous people jumping between groups. If you have a derby tag in your group then there should be some sort of restriction to actually play the derby with those requirements.

What i find most annoying is after you kick or boot nonfitting players they just change name and looks of farm and crawl back in and sabotage again.

Why on earth is is permitted to change your name in the first place???

no other game that i have played lets you do this and i find it highly annoying

I agree with you. Been there done that. I know exactly what you mean. Derby stats would be greatly appreciated. Very good idea! But at the same time you can usually guess by just talking to the player. If you feel something is not right just boot them

Wow! What horrid flashbacks I got from reading this. As a leader I had some really bad experiences from new players messing up our derby for an entire week.

I wish that each player has a history log attached that would reveal them as a derby reject or a boot bounced roamer. I had many that were not truthful about their derby experience. They were definitely not Champion league ready.
Players also need to carry a derby task average with them and displayed in their stats. This will quickly define their experience level.

Thank you Cowslips for reminding me that Supercell's written Fair Play Policy may not match my perception of what fair play should be.

Your post reminds me of a novel written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter. Though I'm not sure if Team Hay Day also read it like me, I'm speculating they wouldn't implement something which would identify their players as a "derby reject or a boot bounced roamer".

I honestly don’t know what to say.

Why do hoods have so many rules, spoken and unspoken?

why is anyone who doesn’t play the way you expect, sabbateurs, leetches, freeloaders and scum?

i have heard of people getting booted for only taking “easy” tasks, “stealing” tasks, and the despicable “reviving without a help task”.

Under former leadership in my hood and a long time ago, I had invited a retired couple and their adult daughter to the hood. After 2 days they were kicked because “they weren’t needy enough”

never would they make a farmer wear a wall of shame, nor should they. If someone is really doing something against the ToS, then there is a report button for that.

just my 2 cents

LOL, that's a new one. I gave myself whiplash for shaking my head too hard.
