How about a prime day which forces the architect to appear for a certain period of time?
Good point Gizmo.
No one seems to have a problem sending their kids to "the rapist" when having problems at home or school.
K, so that aside, if GGS is fine with the name why does its filter target the word?
The word is either fine or it isn't, GGS.
Make up your mind.
I second this question.

I agree that in a sense it is ridiculous to be so "upset" by a word but I think the main question to ask is, do we need to use words that can be offending to some people when we can use synonyms that are not offensive to anyone.
That's just my opinion
That a word has historically been used doesn't mean that it SHOULD continue to be used. (See this for an example.)
But I think Bourletta hit it on the head:
(my emphasis.)
Why not just call it something else that has much less potential to be offensive? (And also why not just call it something else that won't get stuck in GGS's own filters?)
And, for my off topic comment, I really have met canadians that always end in" ... eh?" 'Course they're usually living here in the States and may be doing it in order to be funny and purposefully stereotypical. You Cannucks can be so funny!
It works in chat, not in PM (so far).
I think they (GGS) should maybe take a bit more time to test, analyse and weigh the impact of any changes they make to the game BEFORE implementing it. Microsoft business model is far from being a role model!
/end rant
The word "rapeseed" isn't controversial. The word "rape" is contained within it, but that's quite irrelevant. Rapeseed is the genuine name of a seed and has nothing to do with what you might think when you read it. But why do you think of "rape" when reading "rapeseed"? If I say "sex" when talking about genders, would you get offended? Does cannabis spring to mind if I say "potato"? To be quite honest, thinking "rape" when reading "rapeseed" is immature.
As for the idea of it being somehow offensive or explicit to children, if a child asks their parent what "rapeseed" is, the answer is "a plant". I don't see how that's a problem at all.
And isn't it so unsurprising that you are from EN 1 server and not US 1. You just proven my point about the cultural difference and significance of a word. You don't see a problem because you are self-centered and cannot place yourself in other's shoes... which shows and proves that you lack empathy. Hope you raise your kid to be different than what you display here because mate, not impressed at all. Really.
Cheers,

Why is that irrelevant, if it can be hurtfull to people?
I have learned it is the genuine name, but again, why does that have nothing to do with the fact it might hurt people?
I think rape when I see the word because it's so clear over there at the beginning of the word and because it seems to jump towards me.
Nope, I wouldn't and no it doesn't. With the latter I even had to look for the link.
Or it is a sign of having gone through a very bad and nasty experience which makes you very sensitive to the word. To call those people immature is very offending!
And by the way Instant Ocean...i'm not having a go at you...you do have the right to say that you don't like the word but please don't tell us about the cultural differences....because that works both ways.
Well said, both.
Secondly, of course it works both ways. If you think for ONE second that I am of the opinion that only MY CULTURE counts and should be respected and taken into account, I'm sorry my friend, but you could not be more in the wrong. I would fight for YOUR CULTURAL RIGHTS any day as if they were MINE. And no, I din't think that you are having a go at me. Your message, although the first part is a tad weird to me, is not offending and is on topic, except the first part. So, no buddy, I have no problems with you mate.
Cheers and be well!
Yeah, I hear ya and know why you are laughing. You are basically pointing me out for talking from both sides of my mouth which is incoherent. But, that Bob fellow really didn't understand a word I said, didn't take time nor make an effort to understand either, insulted me and so on. So yeah, he got himself a little free ride courtesy of yours truly. Respect is a 2 way street and when someone acts the way he did with me, I don't care who the hell you are, you are going to get from me. I'm sorry, but I am unfortunately allergic to ppl that suffer from cranial rectosis, AKA butthead syndrome. So enjoy the giggles... they're on me!

I Question GGS whats the purpose of this plant in a Event, Because other event seeds servers no purpose other than selling,If the name of a seed is causing problems or like this seeds seems to be,Why have it in the first place.
I can see why some players question this seed and instead of keeping going round and round in circles,Why do you just wait for Latten to explain why its in game.
And for all you players that live in a country that talks English this is not a cultural difference.
The world doesnt always go after the USA lol.You talk English right?
I agree with you that it's not ONLY Americans that are upset about the name as I am sure that players from all over the world could be ill at ease with the name.
Well if players all over world are upset about the name,They have their own forum,and the name is different when not in English.So im sure there not bothered.
And for you as somebody who is not bothered about the name but others could be,You seem too making a big deal out of this,Still havent found more than 10 players out of 10s of thousands that have said anything.
My main concern, game-wise, is in order to get enough workers for all the upgrades, my running costs are gonna go way into the red with little hope of recovery unless I fork out on a lot of real cash.
Okay my question again
Will there be any effect on production/construction times on other farms too (Gourmet and Flower) during "New Prime Day" or is it just Main farm?
Does that mean forever? In perpetuity?
I've upgraded many buildings to the level just before the architect is needed and think that adding XP to these upgrades is a great idea. At the level I'm at now, I'm finding it takes an extremely long time to level up. I really need to get 4 levels higher to upgrade my mixing plant, which is desperately lagging behind in producing enough liquid fertilizer for my olive grove and citrus orchard. I really don't understand how these 2 buildings on the flower farm were offered as early tasks if the mixing plant can't supply enough to run them on a consistent basis.
That is why I really would like to see XP offered for upgrading buildings beyond the levels that we had access to before. Please consider this suggestion and if you can't apply it to the upgrades in the "Eggs files" then maybe future ones? Thanks!
Oh and something off topic: my cooperative is looking for 1 new member. You can find us in the cooperative introductions under "Green Giants", thank you!
Do you seriously think that people who are rape survivors, or know people who are, are all going to come forward and tell you on a farming forum to change the name of the seed for the sake of numbers?
But... but... I want Mulder and Scully to come and visit me. They won't do that if I have to go find the truth myself and they're not investigating. Did I mention that I have a ladycrush on Scully? (Especially Scully with her season 6 hair. And season 9. But the rest of Season 9 was HORRIBLE.)
And... I'm also curious about this 50% increase thing. (I don't think it'd be permanent though because there's not enough money to be made that way... also, what would happen if you applied multiple 50% increases?)
I am excited for the mill and field upgrades. Oh and I hope some of these new decorations have increased happiness per square. We need more compensation for the increase demand for more workers. It's not easy keeping them happy.
Crop circles.
The question is not HOW MANY people have a problem with the word it is that PEOPLE have a problem with the word and that being said out of respect of the players that do have a problem with it there should be a way to make EVERYBODY happy by simply not using a word that is not needed in this game.
