Stealing from The Neighbours of your Neighbours – NOT GAMERS UNITE! 05/06/2010

Ok… amidst all the BS being spun about Gamers Unite, the bullies still seem to have a means of scaring innocent users and it’s time to lay some serious myths to rest.

Gamers Unite snag bar snags only what you are entitled to click on and accept yourself.

I know of AT LEAST THREE programmes available for farmers to download, which will not only do that, but will steal from the neighbours of your neighbours!  Now THAT my friends, is stealing and it’s cheating.  GAMERS UNITE’S SNAG BAR DOES NOT DO THIS!

Why are these other programmes, and their creators, not under attack from the ever prevalent Facebook/Farmville bullies?  The answer is simple  – it’s because they don’t have the balls to have a Facebook fan page, so there’s no way to know who’s using them, and no way to threaten those who have or have not become followers.

Gamers Unite is an ‘up front’ group whose administration state clearly and consisely what can be done with the snagbar, how they feel about it and why they have made it.  They have the balls to stand up for what they believe is right.

The other programmes are hidden in the backwoods of the internet, accessible by only those who are intent on truly cheating.  It is the people using THESE OTHER programmes, who are snagging what you feel is being stolen from you.  And they’re being stolen by people who aren’t even necessarily on your friends list!

So back off Gamers Unite – they don’t lie to you.  They don’t steal from you.  They don’t tell you they are anything other than who and what they are.  They have a facebook fan page/group BECAUSE they have nothing to hide.  Instead how about you use your intelligence, to find the other applications (like I did) and if you’re so against cheating  – hunt down their producers and alert Zynga/facebook – rather than launching another witch hunt on a good group of people with nothing to hide.

Tuscan Wedding Favors – Explained – All Working 30/05/2010

Thankyou so much to Dominique for the explanation of the Tuscan Wedding Favors.

We were  (well I was) expecting them to just add up in the tent the way they had in the pot of gold and the easter basket… Not so!

Add them as you collect them, and when you have enough of the ingredients, Nonna will ask you if you want to ‘trade them for favors’ – it’s these favors you will use to buy the gift items.

Anyone who has placed the Tuscan Wedding Tent cannot Connect To Farmville.

I can confirm that this is true – if you were quick enough to get your Tuscan wedding tent out of the gift box and place it on your farm – you will be getting a white screen or a page cannot be displayed error.

I just logged into my daughter’s account because I knew she’d not played today and therefore would not have had the opportunity to place the tent – and voila!  I’m in.  It’s not your computer, it’s not just your account, it’s not cookies or cache, it’s not your particular country or friends group, it’s not any of your other programmed… it’s Zynga!  They’ve done it again this time in the biggest way I’ve seen since starting to play.

They wonder why people take every opportunity to hack/crack the game!

Tuscan Wedding Task – not working – HOW SURPRISING! 29/05/2010

True to form, Zynga have launched what could have been an exciting and enticing new feature – somewhat like the Easter Egg basket and the St Patrick’s Day pot of gold… The Italian theme featuring Nonna (Grandmother) asking for your help in making arrangements and gathering supplies for the Tuscan Wedding.  Screen shots below.

One can only hope, that it won’t take as long as the ‘still not working’ Mustang Wrangling exercise.  One can only wonder why you would introduce yet another new feature, when the previous two (launched only a day or two prior) are STILL not working…

New TUSCAN WEDDING Task – Tent arrives in your giftbox

Well….. I wonder what drama will ensue now that we have been given a new task.

If you, like me, just found this Tuscan Wedding Tent in your giftbox you need to ready yourself for any glitches that might happen to arise in the next few minutes!!

Oops! Zynga Did it Again! New Horses Released Accidentally

Seriously, the folks at Zynga, trying to present themselves as international professionals, continue to wing their way through new introductions and additions to their Farmville platform, frustrating regular paying users – will it be long before they take their hard earned cash elsewhere?

On the 28th of May 2010 many Farmville farmers lucky enough to be in ‘the right place at the right time’ found themselves magically able to request a handful of new horses (and a cow) from the ordinarily boring ‘wish list’ feature.  Those who were on the spot made the very most of the fifteen minutes or so they had, and now the feeds are spattered with foals arriving which shouldn’t even be available.  That’s wonderful for those who happened to be there, however a growing number of farmers are discovering today what they missed – and it’s not pretty.

To add insult to injury, our long awaited ‘grow your foals and calves up in the nursery’ feature has finally been added – minus the common sense we had expected.  Many speculated on how they would finally obtain the rare horses and cows they had sought for so long but been unable to purchase.  Instead of turning our foals and calves into the adult version of themselves, Zynga has thrown us a curve ball, making calves and foals grow into a completely different breed – and only a few selected breeds at that.

Zynga…hire yourself a promotions and releases manager and pick a pool of live beta testers who are committed – run a second live environment not available to the public – and use it to test your new scripts BEFORE unleashing them on the public! You’ll avoid what happened last night!!

Once inside your nursery- mouse over each animal – you will be enlightened on what you can expect to receive if this animal does in fact ‘grow up’.
