Using Gifts and Pranks

cheshi (US1)cheshi (US1) Posts: 135
My first week playing here, I bought some gifts from the two kids selling gifts and pranks. I didn't know what I was doing and tried to use them on my farm. Then later found out they are to be used on another player's farm.

So, since I just won some free deco and a lot of corn from the Wheel of Fortune, I thought I'd pass it on. I just need someone willing to let me use a gift on their farm so I can see how it works, and won't surprise or shock anyone.

The two gifts I have are

Dig Over Soil
Pet the Animals

I don't know anyone here, so I'm not running a popularity contest, just asking if someone is willing to let me see the effects/results of using one of these on their farm. You get to choose which it is and since I'm not picky, I'll go with the first person that responds and is willing. Seems like these two gifts should be fun or useful.

Since I don't know how this works, I am guessing that the person/farm has to be on the same server that my farm is on?

    That's a good idea I hadn't thought of. I could give a gift to the winner. Or someone that was neck and neck with me but beat me.

    Could be a good way to spread some cheer.

    That was fun!

    And someone gave me a gift also. So I could experience the effect myself. Thanks for that!

    I'll have to snag some more gifts when the boys come around again. It is amazing how uplifting one small act of kindness can be. Because the description of the item couldn't know how I'd feel as I was out for a walk and wondering about the farm I would be giving the gift to. My dog didn't like our short walk, but I was anxious to get back to see who would get the gift. If anyone would.

    It's the weekend, so the boys should be around soon.

    Good Karma! ^^
    When you harvest something that has gift sparkles on it, you get a karma ball, you can collect them to spend with the twins to buy more gifts.

    Quite a while back there was a discussion on Gifts and Pranks. Since I had never been pranked, I asked for someone in the Forum to prank me so I could see what all the fuss was about. Imagine my surprise when the next morning I found my farm to be covered in Pranks! LOL The pranks don't really do any harm, just delay your harvest for 15 minutes. In this game, 15 minutes is NOTHING! And those Pranks come with some awesomely cool special effects! So don't be afraid to Prank someone, as long as it isn't done in a malicious way they will enjoy them AND get Karma points! :)

    I am surprised the boys aren't around yet. But I guess they must sleep in really late on Saturdays.

    I'll look into the pranks, because I don't remember anything about them. Someone mentioned a really cool fog effect with one of the pranks.

    Oh, I thought of when 15 minutes harvest delay might be a problem, in the middle of a mission. Can you imagine not being able to complete your harvests during a mission?

    That probably occurred to me because I'm trying to be awake enough to do a mission. But I don't have coffee. And if I end up doing wildflowers, I'm really going to need coffee. I activated my flower farm last night, so maybe I'll sell more of them and won't be so anti-wildflowers. Most of the tasks so far are about wildflowers.

    I have so many upgrades to do. One at a time with three farms is nearly excruciating because with almost every upgrade, you gotta upgrade housing and upgrade decos. I'm upgrading the farmhouse I put off for so long because I don't like the long upgrades. Would be nice if there was a gift/prank that would make all upgrades take only 1 hour for a complete 24-hour period. I'd buy a dozen of those so someone else doesn't have to be as miserable as I am about the time it takes to do one upgrade at a time.

    Well, I won't be winning any missions because I'm so far behind upgrades, but I'm going to scoot to do a mission or two while waiting for the boys. The boys come every weekend, right?

    Pranks have been known to be used against other players during missions, but that's just someone playing dirty pool. The fog effect comes with the "Salt the field" prank. It kinda swirls around over their field and looks cool. I saw a hoodoo on someone's Mill once. It had bolts of lightning and black clouds flying around it! It would have looked perfect for Halloween. VERY spooooooky!
