Well, here is another winner: Last night I hired some people to harvest on my farms, and left, as I usually do. When I came back online later, one of them had left me a PM, as sometimes happens. I always reply to PM's unless they say something like 'plow', because if someone can't even be bothered to form a sentence, I can't be bothered to reply. Otherwise, if someone leaves me a message, I feel it polite to send them one in return.

This person thanked me for the hire and asked how old I was. Now, questions as to my age, religion, or political affiliation always bother me a bit because it bears no relevance in a game. Nonetheless, I replied with 'You are welcome (PERSONS NAME), I am 40'.

Today, logging in, they sent me a reply reading "leave me alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".

Sigh.

So basically, what I have learned this week is you cannot:
1. Hire people, because they will go mental on you.
2. Reply to PM's, because if you do, they will go mental on you.
3. Probably play this game, because it will slowly make you mental.

Thank you for letting me vent again!

I get stalkers and people looking for dates as well, sometimes if I am in a mood I will keep answering them..rudely but they don't seem to notice. If I am not in a mood, I nicely remind them that I could be anybody, a psycho killer, a man posing as a woman, a pedophile etc etc if they ask me which one I am I usually tell them i have so many personalities it's hard for me to keep track, but the last one went on a murderous rampage. lol....sometimes they leave me alone, sometimes they don't.

I don't always stick around to hire to plow, I don't always hire the harvester to do my plowing. If I ask them if they want to and they don't reply, I go back to market and hire someone to do so....I once had someone ask me why I didn't hire him to plow but went and got someone else instead, I told him I asked him several times and got no reply...he them replied "I can't read, so I didn't know what you were saying" ...hmm you were able to reply to me and respond with a meaningful response, but you can't read??? He then wrote back and said he cannot read the word "plow"..I wrote back and asked him why he could type it but not read it....didn't hear from him after that. It made my night really lol. For those who seem to really need to know my age I usually tell them I am 92....my 8 year old told me I was 92 when she was about 4, so I just stuck with it lol.
