    1. Did 10 neighbours, getting my usual % bonuses and then got an extra $25k from Lester. Nice

    2. Was asked to spend an amount of gold almost exactly equal to the total amount I have bought since I started playing this game (18mnths ago). and it's only a 100% deal. Silly.

    $87,000 gold sounds a lot better than the $170,000 they wanted from me......Since I only bought some gold once & not till I was past level 60, wouldn't you think I didn't buy much gold??  It's probably because I still had some left (because I use it so sparingly) that they thought :  Since she has lots of gold, we'll get her to buy lots more!  I don't know what they thought, but I'm not buying their gold.  It took me months & months to finally decide to use $29 for gold one time. It will probably take another 8-10 months to buy any more....if I ever do.
  • My hubby was 20k, I am still awaiting lester, although my walk up neighbours are appearing as lester, the actual event hasn't started for me yet, getting extremely frustrated, he has been and gone on hubby's farm!!!

    Very important question-------

    Will Lester come again, or was this "it"?
    Lester should come again at some point, but keep in mind it's a personal event, not a regular timed one :) 

    @CM Latten Would please clear some more doubts

    1. As it appears for everyone at diff time, must we think that this is a permanent feature?
    2. What if I deny or fail to fullfill Lester's Gold Offer this time (first time)? Will I get him back or no?
    3. Will he do a frequent visit or what will be his average gap between his visits?
    and
    4. Is there any minimum level requirement of the farm or of the market to have the visits by Lester?

    1. Yes, it's planned as a new permanent feature
    2. You should get him back at a later time, yes :)
    3. I honestly don't know yet, I'll see if I can find out!
    4. No level requirements!

    I have completed the 10 orders, recived the $25.000 from lester and he walked away towards the bridge over the river,but i have not recived a gold spending order from lester.

    Anybody have the same problem??? :# :
    This might happen if certain requirements conflict until the gold offer arrives. Not a bug though.

    @Latten, I have one more question about the update. This one is not concerning Lester.
    The news letter is mentioning that the coop championship has changed, but the nature of the changes is not announced. So can you please explain, what acctually has changed in CC event.

    And thans for answering my first question. Much appriciated :).
  • Oh you will love this one.  He wants me to spend 550,000 gold!  Seriously GGS?  Is it even possible to spend that in 24 hours???
  • Finished 10 neighbor deals and got 25k reward, Good.
    Then Lester came up with the deal:
    "Spend 2,800 gold within one day and you will get it back tomorrow....."
    We Indian Farmers are very poor and even spending 280 gold would be a great deal for us..... 
    I am playing at Level 84 with only 141 gold..... so not going behind the deal.....
    Let the rest of the world play and enjoy this Golden game..... :)
  • And still no Lester for me.
  • Level 168 US - (hope you are sitting down) .... 550,000 gold.

    Are you serious?  That's $400.00 !!!!

    And this is going to be permanent?  Wow. 
  • I have completed the 10 orders, recived the $25.000 from lester and he walked away towards the bridge over the river,but i have not recived a gold spending order from lester.

    One member of my Coop has the same problem. He left. Just like that. I havent got Lester yet.
  • Getting impatient, I still don't have a crazy jumping lester :(
    Me too. :) I m going to say No thanks to him even if he turns up. :)

    Managed to fill 4 orders yesterday because the time between the customers was like an hour, I need to sleep. =3
    Today I got them rapidly just now and filled the remaining 6, Lester gave me 25k and walked off.
    I hope we can be told what the "not bug" conditions are for that to happen. ;o

    Also, the lowest amount he can ask so far I've heard was from my co-leader, for 8k gold.
    So it can be reasonable but the theory that it's close to how much you've bought over the years is a good one.
    The person who had this 8k barely buys any, they're just very good at saving and events. =)
  • And just when you thought GGS couldn't get more greedy.  Are you ready for this? 

    550,000 gold!  Seriously?  That's $400 real dollars.  How could you even spend that in 24 hours?!

    Makes you really think why you are even playing this game.

    Play the game mostly because of the people Here not those at GGS for sure.  And, to see exactly what disaster will come next.  Sometimes it is like watching a move.  a disaster like Titanic, or a comedy like Groundhog Day (GGS's continued use of the utter failure of Supersonic ads) or just a plain old scam like The Sting. 
  • whats up with the blank videos
    i know ur discussing something bout some1 named lester but i have no movies
  • gavinfarms (US1)gavinfarms (US1) US1 Posts: 2,273
    You could give us a little more detail...........Would he be coming back  daily?  weekly?  monthly?

    I don't think it is unreasonable for us to want a little guide on how frequent this might happen.

    Yes more details would be nice. What sort are these requirements when Lester walks away without giving an offer for gold? (Having more gold then he was going to ask for? ;) )

    Also, is this going to be available for absolutely everyone ,or its like the videoshow ,where many people not getting it at all?

    don´t forget to count wisely before you accept this deal 

    it is only 100% bonus 

    with bonus 104%  of gold mining licences it is 204%  

    BUT - you need to spent all amount in one day. So you lost money with accelerate buildings. With architect maybe it can work. 

    If you buy library books, you lost 20% - you will buy for full price, but you can all of that books buy with 20% discount. 

    i am gold buyer - but this deal I will accept only if architect will be on farm and if it will be minimally 200% gold bonus. 

    Much more better is 150% gold deal and bonus box with bonus (violet) fertilizer and feed. this fertilizer you can use for greg´s silo for reach gold mining licenses or use it to reach best event deco with highest difficulty.

    craftycritters - i think this is offer, not event. 
    well said totally agree

    I still have not seen Lester yet, but the more I read this thread, the more I wonder if I want to see him at all !!

    We're reworking the entire CC event :) A lot of things changed, but I don't want to tell you the specifics yet :p We'll try to make it more interesting for everyone, be it high or low levels ^^

    If I'm not mistaken, he will come within 1-3 weeks-ish when you're not successful, and with a pause of roughly about a month or two if you finish the event successfully. But, as with all personal offers and events, I can't give you any specifics ('cause there are no specifics) :)

    It's not at all like the video show, which doesn't appear for many players because (at least it should be because) they registered their account with or through other websites or links, which explicitely doesn't allow you to load advertisements into those games. This shouldn't affect Lester's event at all. So yeah, theoretically, all players should see this one eventually.

    About the requirements: I sadly can't tell. I'd love to, but these requirements are highly specific and individual, and that's where my freedom to share details ends ;)  I'm sure you'll (and by that I mean "the community" as a group) will figure out a rough guideline eventually.

    I agree with most of the posts here as to spending Gold. For a lot it is just not possible. There are 3 or 4 members of our co op that have not seen Lester yet. With the first 24 hours almost done, I am wondering how long this event will last and will every one get the chance to take part in the full event?

    One more question about the Coop Championships.  I know you want to keep the structure of it a secret.  That is fair.  But will it still depend on missions only?  People might want to buy library books to help with missions.......so will the CC still be based on the same 4 mission types?



    AND....when can we get rid of this really ugly snow all over the ground?

    Maybe after the current blizzard leaves the US??  (typo corrected)

  • So after reading many of the posts on this thread it has become very apparent that my gold request of 7,500 from Lester is on the low side.......he is adjusting his greed to fit my pitiful stash of gold. LOL This is a great event for those who utilize a lot of gold. Rock on........  :)
  • - After helping out, Lester is grateful and will make you a compelling offer: Spend gold in the next 24 hours (up to a certain amount), and he will pay you back on the next day! This will get you a lot of premium items for free.

    Well that statement is not true. A member of my co-op bought the 36,000 gold specified by Lester. Once she spent the gold, Lester immediately gave her the 36,000 back and Lester left the farm. However, she did NOT receive any premium items from the deal.
  • ijrosh (US1)ijrosh (US1) US1 Posts: 1,325
    i think when they say This will get you a lot of premium items for free they mean you are getting what ever you spent the gold on for free not more stuff on top of that
  • yes that is the way I see it. although I have yet to see him jumping around on my farm so I guess it won't matter for me
  • Same here - no Lester yet, so am hoping he won't be arriving during the coop challenge.  I can't understand how the timing can be so off - at least expected we all get it on the same day (maybe different times), not just whenever...  What is the deal?
  • i think when they say This will get you a lot of premium items for free they mean you are getting what ever you spent the gold on for free not more stuff on top of that
    Thanks for clarifying this. It seems Lester is simply nothing more than a 2 for 1 gold deal. I am so glad he has not bothered to show up on my farm.
