everyone else. It just drives me nuts, I find it rude to do things like that in a place where others are there to try and find work or workers (only done here to provide an example of what I mean).

I haven't seen this problem on here, and have never had it happen before. Today I was on playing. I hired people from the mp to harvest and plow. I went about my business, finishing planting crops and other things, then got off for a few hours.

I got back on later in the day, and as soon as the game got loaded, I got the message come up "Chris just harvested a squash field." I thought, 'what the heck, I just got on and haven't hired anyone?" So I went to the farm I had squash planted on, and sure enough, there was a player named Chris harvesting my squash. I asked, "what the heck? how did you get on here and harvest my crops?"

I didn't get an answer, he just finished harvesting my squash and left.

HOW did that happen?

Well my guess would be it was someone you hired earlier and they left the box open and then went and checked it out hours later.

It happens. Odd, but it happens.

I can't post in the suggestions threads - "insufficient privileges" (?), so I'll post here.
It's next to impossible to hire people it seems. No one wants to plow my fields. It'd be nice if we could buy a 9-plot plower/planter/harvester.

Hi , you can post in the suggestion section, just not create new threads. Try this one http://www.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=332014

I was hired for a few jobs last week that I just left. The first one, a layered farm with wall to wall trees stacked over crops. My computer couldn't even handle moving the farm.

Really. It was obnoxious and I had no desire to deal with it.

This morning, I was tripled hired on a very small harvest. I left it for the other people.

That said, I do appreciate it when someone gives me a heads up. "hey, I need to jet, sorry I couldn't finish". But I was booted a few times this week as well from jobs, so I'm trying to give those that didn't finish the work I gave them the benefit of the doubt.

I'm not sure whre this post belongs, its not really a social topic, nor is it a help topic. I trust that the mods will move this if its in the right spot, but ask them to tell me where it went.

I was harvesting for someone this afternoon, She had hired me to do crops and flowers. I did the crops first and started the flowers. Well did this person not go totally crazy, started yelling and calling me every name she could think of at that second. It went like this:

Her: WTF are you doing (insert c and s words in here)
Me: excuse me?
Her: Are you stupid or dumb?
Me: what??
Her: can't you tell the difference between flowers and trees
Me: (still clueless as to why she is so mad) last time i checked I was able to tell the difference with ease
Her: ok than why are you chopping my ******* flowers you dumb ****
Me: you hired me for crops and flowers not trees, otherwise I wouldn't be able to chop the flowers
Her: you stunned b****, I know what I hired you for
Me: ok then what's the problem?
Her: I am going to report you for hacking into my computer and changing my request...you dumb, stupid (insert curse here again) cow. They will track your IP and you will be banned from FT and f/b for being a hacker
Me: ok well if you feel thats what you need to do than feel free (I left)

Obvioulsy she didn't realize she hired me for flowers, or maybe she did and just wanted to fight with someone. Either way, PLEASE watch what you are hiring for, It might take and extra 1-2 secs to make sure but please do it anyway. I so did not need that **** and nobody else does either. take that 1-2 secs and read. I did NOT hack into anyones computer (I am not smart enough to know how, in all honesty. lol) As far as I see it, it's her own fault,had she of taken the time to read it wouldn't have happened I stopped when she started yelling, so now she has some chopped and others not, I can only imagine what she said when she reported me lol.

it is possible the person did not realize they hired for crops and flowers.. some farmers just react rudely in situations when things arent happening the way they want... personally if im able to harvest things other then crops i ask before doing them just to be nice incase they did on accident click the wrong option

not so much that she didn't realize, was the language and threatening to report me for hacking, which I didn't do. But even if she did make the mistake, that isn't my fault, i was hired to do crops and flowers....
