[pinkster73]

A sale and a box together would be great!

[FarmerZionLion]

An Android only item to make up for all the cool stuff we didn't get? :)
A new sale would definitely be nice....used up all my boxing day sale Gems a couple weeks ago..

I love the picnic and the pink chicken. I got a kissing booth. My boy gnomes like it :p

[yanochka]

http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h400/yana_ma/valentine2012/361e377c.jpg

once again - another small and ugly flower :(

why can't they add some grass or more dense leaves on the bottom so we don't see the plow lines??????

[pinkster73]

Ha ha I was coming to post my picnic. WHY THE SMALL AND UGLY STUPID FLOWERS??!

[pamdora]

I got the dragon then the booth. Love the kissing bears better than the dragons. Only 60 k left for the Cupid ranch so will have to wait for the picnic!

[Claudia2508]

somebody got a limited time offer❔

[MiniLaura]

I love the balloon, but I don't love the other stuff enough to take a chance on it. *sigh!* I will just drool over other people's balloons.

[iusedtobedigusr]

OMG, I have about 200 Dragons, sorta collect and that is the worst...Even Puff the Majic Dragon looked better lmao

[pinkster73]

What limited time offer?

[MiniLaura]

What limited time offer?
Probably something pink.

I didn't get an offer. If there is one, it's only the second time that I haven't gotten a limited-time offer.

[pinkster73]

Why don't the designers understand that seeing the plow lines on a fully grown flower is UGLY?

[iusedtobedigusr]

Because they are Near-Sighted?

[iusedtobedigusr]

Sorry thought trying to unravel the riddle of TL.

Maybe should be next game Storm8 makes.

[Rachael98]

Argh, I can't keep up with Thursday updates:p.

[criizz]

I like a few of these items, but the 3rd and 4th places aren't my favorite. Can't decide if I should gamble my gems or not!

[iusedtobedigusr]

Ok the little Pink dragon cute but I have some with sunsets in wings with words I told my girl carved in them. Sorry a guy moment. lmao Just so I don't seem

[yanochka]

KP, could you please check with GM on the footprint size of Valentine Coach and Kissing Booth? Seems like a lot of wasted space, especially for the coach...thanks!

[pinkster73]

KP, could you please check with GM on the footprint size of Valentine Coach and Kissing Booth? Seems like a lot of wasted space, especially for the coach...thanks!

Yes, the kissing booths footprint is a whole square but only takes up half a square so the gnomes can't get close to the front of it.

[pinkster73]

Did anyone get a limited time offer?

[yanochka]

Did anyone get a limited time offer?

No for both of my farms

[iusedtobedigusr]

No, do you want me too leave a few pink candles too light?

[pinkster73]

No, do you want me too leave a few pink candles too light?

No. They are ugly and too small.

[kooky panda]

I did not get an limited offer either. May not be one this week., I will check on the footprint issue.

[GroupMagma]

No Limited Time Item in Farm this week. And the large footprints are by design, though I'll pass along your concerns.

[inheavenmin]

the coach and the balloon is awesome!!!!

[inheavenmin]

so is the gondola!!!

too bad i don't have enough gems to try for it.
thanks to the UNNECESSARY GEM TRAPS!!!!!!

[TheDragonZoo]

Can someone gift me about 100 dollars in visa cash to my google checkout so i can take a few shots at the dragon. Its a third place prize so it shouldnt be that difficult.

[TheDragonZoo]

Reason i ask is because its almost the end of valentines and what if all this goes away by tommorow. I have no money availqble to change into a 25 dollar visa gift card and its dark and i cant go out at night about ten miles to the nearest gift card shop on foot. I really want that dragon. Pleeeeaaase. What if it doesnt come bak next year? I will even strike a deal with the devs to pay them so much money to get it...

[pinkster73]

Ya right. And while they're at it they can pay my mortgage this month too. :O

[MiniLaura]

Someone is giving away money? Sign me up!

[viviansmo]

I've bought 14 summer boxes so far trying for a third place prize... That darned moose. I must have that moose. But 14 boxes later I have 4 2nd place and 10 4th place prizes and not one moose. Not even a skunk. *sigh*.

Good luck with the dragon, TheDragonZoo!

You tried 14 times?! That's like 24x14 gems! Ayyah!

Well, anyway... it's not like the admins are going to give me the dragon, ya know? All they seem to care about is money... they haven't even responded to my last private message I sent them. What a joke on their wall "Really care about their users." Ha, if they cared, they would be nice and help me a bit, at least respond.

Unfortionately, I'm not taking no for an answer this time! (That would be the 5th time in a row with no "yes"es from the beginning for all of my tickets of questions.)

[viviansmo]

You tried 14 times?! That's like 24x14 gems! Ayyah!
yeah... I try not to think about that. lol.
and it wasn't all at once. and some were earned gems... I'm 8 gems away from another try actually, and it's not like I want anything else with those gems, so I may as well try for the moose rather than having them taken away by a gem trap. :)

[TheDragonZoo]

how did you earn those gems?

[TheDragonZoo]

don't tell me you earned them with an ipod-only solution! MAN! ANDROID REALLY ****S IT FOR US.

[TheDragonZoo]

Well, then that does it. I'm downloading an ipad os to replace my android os on my tablet. Anyone know how/where to go about this?

The first time I opened the summer box I got the skunk and the second time I got the moose. I don't mean to dampen your spirits even more. I understand how much you want them and your frustration in not getting them. I opened it trying for the cozy bungalow and dare I say it the first prize Victorian mansion. I opened it two more times and got the I heart mom sign (which I like, not worth 24 gems though!) and the gazing ball which is one of the ugliest items I've ever seen! I just wish TL would do something about theses boxes, I'm done trying for what I want out of the summer box now because the thoughts of getting another gazing ball are just depressing. Good luck with the moose, I would trade mine with you if we had that option.

No offense, but I really don't understand why you think people should give you things. You have the same chances as everybody else.

The reason people probably don't respond is because you're begging strangers for money.

[kooky panda]

how did you earn those gems?

players earn their gems in the game mastering the crops. android and IOS both have the option of mastering crops( you need to be on at least level 8 to start mastering)


Well, then that does it. I'm downloading an ipad os to replace my android os on my tablet. Anyone know how/where to go about this?
As I told you in my PM, I do not think there is anyway to to convert your android tablet to an Ipad. To be IOS, you will need to be able to download the games from the itunes app store.

[viviansmo]

I earned most of them on Android by downloading other TL or Storm8 games (get 6 gems per game) - and that's only available on Android due to iTunes store restrictions I believe that don't apply to Android Marketplace.
I also earned them mastering crops (available to both Android and iOS).
And, yes, I did buy some - when there was a free dragon gift with purchase (it's a beautiful wigned European style dragon - you would probably like it) and also with other FGWP (free gift with purchase) items and when there were sales. Those were available to both Android and iOS users.

So, this is not an Android parity issue. Just sayin'. There are other Android parity issues that are annoying and frustrating... Goals! Collectibles showing up after they made it hard to get them? Invisible crops? but gems... no, this just isn't one of those parity issues.

I would so trade with you! I don't mind the gazing ball too much (though I certainly don't need 3 of them!), or any of the prizes I have gotten. Ah well... like I said, there's nothing else I want to spend my gems on right now, so I may as well keep trying. :)

Oh darn, I was just about to turn my Android phone into an iPad. Oh well.

[hectorloch]

The gazing ball is certainly worth getting. Over at the FPGC, we have a retainer on the staff whose title is The Gazing Ball Observer. His sole function is to predict what might happen with regard to TL introducing the Turkey. In all his time in office he has never reported anything - so, 100% accurate reporting and a truly valuable member of the staff.

On the Freebies, Apple banned them because in their view TL was artificially boosting its download figures - most players download, collect the gems, buy a dog, a sock or a bun, then dump the app. Same tactic with all these pop up's we're getting. Eventually, you succumb = another successful download on TL's scoreline even though it heads straight to the discard section on your device. Pity Apple appears to have no input to these in game tactics.

Let me clarify this point a bit; Apple changed its policy regarding awarding in-game currency for downloads in general, not due to TL (we were far from the only studio who offered these perks). Apple has made similar changes to their policies in the past, all with which we've happily complied.

.... and with which happy compliance re the incidence of pop up's, it goes without saying that each and every one of us enjoy them with you - don't we :)
