If you grow them, they will come...

Gnomes... they have returned. Gnomes AND a Gem.

It's only male gnomes for now, but we'll probably add female gnomes later. And who knows (or gnows)? We might need some feedback on other gnomes to add for mastery.

Unfortunately, we're not adding gnomes for crops mastered since the change... but hey, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

My hero!!!!!!!!!:D Thank you!

Well, thank goodness for that. Thank you, GM, and thank also whoever else could do with a good thank for this. Normal service resumed. A gnome AND a gem ? That's above and beyond !

Hi TeamLava

Thanks so much for listening to us avid Farmers! You have absolutely made my day! And I'm just so excited that the boy gnomes are now the trophy!
I have heaps of crops still to master so I'm looking forward to evening up the hormone ratio on Gnome Island. :-)

And I'm even MORE excited that you are going to explore other gnomes as the trophies! Whatever it is that your creative team comes up with will be a winner I'm sure. Looks like I'll have to visit the forum more often :-)

Again thank you!
OnlyPauline and the Sisterhood of Gnomettes on Gnome Island

Thank you TL!! I have twice as many girls as boys so now it's time for catch up.

[CodfishJohnny]

Thank you, Team Lava.

I appreciate that you listened and understood that your farmers weren't just kvetching about a change but that, instead, this was a critical element of the game for a lot of people!

I am happy to have the gem as well, and I think gnome options is a great idea.

NO GNOMEGEDDON!

Pretty smart of teamlava to bring them back, I bought a gnome for 15 gems to bring my collection back up to date (mastered one crop during the gnome hiatus) when I heard they brought back the gnomes ha ha

[crystalrayn3]

WHOOOO HOOOO!!!! Gnome party at my place tonight! BYOG -Bring Your Own Gnome

[ripdimebagd]

This is excellent news I waited to master just in case this would happen. I look forward to seeing what ideas you guys come up with for other gnomes

[sissy8]

[zoroak]

I'm with you on this one, looks like us CS players aren't quite as organized as the FS players XD

Hey GM!!! Any chance that the return of the gnomes will mean a return of rivers as well?

[cwmole]

Thank you!!!

[hippoberry]

High five to the Group Magster ! I think we all owe him a drink tonight ~

[ladyj0y]

[stahnley]

Thank you thank you! I was feeling like my farm was a convent, was SO tempted to buy some male gnomes and so glad I didn't! Thank you for listening to all of us!

[eskimomommy]

Yahoo! Gnomes truly are the kicker to the game. Now, please make the buildings for gnomes available to buy with gems. Please! No more gambling. How about no more repetition. Check out poor Sandt's bridges.

Totally agree!! Fantastic we got our gnomes back plus
a gem! My incentive is back not only for growing my
crops but to continue with my tales that
I write all about my Gnome-ettes and now I am
including my wee gnome-men!! I only wish
there was someway the chests could realise
just what you already have!! I swear if I get
another rose-block I will eat my phone!!!!
Explain that to the emergency services!!
Surely there must be some programme that
could be added to these boxes so they can
tell what you have won!!! Many off my nbrs
FIRST TIME get the top prize!! Oh NOT ME!!
I repeatadly get the same prize!! It's a lot
off money when your buying gems
and get the same prize over and over again!!
Please try and help us out with this oh
last 24gems got me another Rose-block 24gems WASTED!!!
ahhhhhhhh oh it's only worth 600cpins!!
You get 400 for a dog bowl.....where
is that fair when you have to buy gems
to get enough for the box??? Please try
and sort this it really is unfair!

[MrsShrek]

Today, I mastered Grapes. Got a gem and a Girl Gnome. Glad the gnomes are back, but slightly disappointed it was not a Boy gnome. Are they suppose to be boys as stated by GroupMagma? When do we get the Boys?

[MrsShrek]

Sorry, forgot to mark the above post as a question.
Thanks!

[jtm101]

I think i got a girl gnome too, was a little disapointed...

[cakeandpie]

I just mastered corn and I got a female gnome! Again!! I have all female gnomes, and here I'm supposed to get a boy to keep them company and I get a girl again?

[captmiddy]

I am guessing the people who got female gnomes are Android users. My iPod gets male gnomes, my Android phone gets female gnomes. Too bad I can't trade them on the market ;-).

They definitely would have told us if the boy gnomes are for iDevices only.

[RoseMiti]

Nope. Playing on iPad and getting girls. Maybe it's random or timely ruled.

[kooky panda]

the gnomes are suppose to be assigned to specific crops and trees.
We are trying to keep a list to see if this is true.

Toasty said predetermined, so we can rule out random.

[RoseMiti]

ok, sorry ...

[Mogwai4111]

ok, sorry ...

not a problem, just like you I'm trying to figure this out so I know the quickest way to add some male gnomes to my farm. the more clues we get, the closer we get.

[stahnley]

I have mastered 3 or 4 crops in the last couple days, got all female gnomes. Glad they are back, but still wondering about the boys. I am on an iphone, not a droid. So just wondering what to expect. Is there a list somewhere of which crops? I mastered broccoli, pomegranates, and yellow squash, females for all three.

[kooky panda]

here you go master list we are putting together
