I had a hiring experience the other night that absolutely takes the cake!! I could tell the person harvesting hadn't hidden the trees because they had missed the four or five fields that the trees hide. In chat, I asked him three times if he knew how to hide trees. [I'm more than willing to explain how to someone who doesn't know.] Well, no response! So it move to the part of the field where he was working thinking perhaps he was in full screen & couldn't read the chat. I figured if I was standing right next to him, he would see the speech balloon and respond. Well, he remained mute but finally harvested the fields in question.
Here's the kicker. When he finished, he just STOOD there. Hadn't "said" a word to me the whole time. No "Thank you" when I hired him. No "May I please plow?" when he finished. Not one single word!! So I went to my Buddy List, found someone who was on-line and hired them. The guy finally left, but if I ever see him (I will recognize his name) I will send him a private chat on why I'm ignoring him, and then hit the Ignore button.
That's one time I really would have loved to have a "Fire" button!!! My Buddy who did the plowing said if you quit FT and sign out of Facebook, the person working your farm will be gone -- kicked off -- when you come back. I haven't tried it yet, but the next time I get someone non-responsive or overly familiar, I'm going to.
