Gifts

[kaypoppy]

Okay hi everyone so I found out recently that we can only receive a maximum of 20 gifts everyday. So, to make full use of my 20, I have started declining gifts sending brownies/hot chocolate/Chocolate cake/croissant.

After I decline these gifts, does it count as part of my daily 20, or I can accept new gifts after declining these? thanks!

[aiyoosha]

u can accept new ones after u decline, it doesnt count towards the 20

[Cr8zyC8tL8dy]

Only the ones you accept count towards your 20. So if you accept 15 and decline 5, you can still receive 5 gifts. If you decline 4 of those, you can still receive 4 gifts as the day goes on and so forth.

But, if I understand correctly, if you have 20 waiting to be accepted or declined, you won't receive any more during that time. Ones that neighbors tried to send during that time don't get queued up for when more slots come available.

You're right they don't get queued. Your neighbor will receive an "Unable to send gift because xxxx" message instead but this doesn't take away their ability to gift you again later in the day if/when you still have room for gifts. But when a neighbor has managed to successfully send you a gift, he/she won't be able to gift you again until the next day whether you accept the gift or not.

I send out gifts in the morning, then I usually try to send again in the afternoon so that anyone who was full in the morning might get it.

If I decline gifts sent to me that I do not want, does this free up my Limit to get more of my request filled? I do request of all my neighbors almost daily, about 50, but get so few back. I know 90% of my neighbors gift and tip daily so I'm sure there not just ignoring my request.

[atrekker1]

Yes, it does.

[tularemary]

If you're sending out 50 requests daily, you're shooting yourself in the foot. You can only receive 20 per day, so the excess rolls over & you're now seriously backed up.

[seachef2]

I send out 75 gifts per day because thats how many neighbors I've got I always get 20 back which is the limit on the amount you can receive the 55 neighbors who cannot gift me always post gift full on my wall. I'm not sure about being backed-up because I have no trouble receiving goal parts on day two of the goal. I don't get goal parts gifted on day one because the goal arrives 11hrs after reset and I'm usually full after about 10mins. I don't consider this a problem though.

[monstertop]

What tularemary means by backed up is only regards to requests. Because you can only receive 20 requests every day, sending 50 requests means that you'll receive 20 on the day you sent 50 requests, but the 30 that weren't answered will carry over to the next day. Until the first request is answered, the following requests won't be answered.

For example, let's say I asked 50 neighbors for oven element yesterday and I got 20 requests answered. Then today, I ask 50 of my neighbors for Big City Brick. The 30 neighbors who didn't answer my oven element request won't see my request for Big City Brick until they answer the first request for oven element. You're already backed up. Also by then, some of my neighbors who answered my request for oven element yesterday might already have answered my request for Big City Brick today, so it's a mix requests both from yesterday and today that I will be getting back. All of these requests will be backed up until you don't send any more requests and all of your neighbors had a chance to respond to your consecutive requests.

So in a sense, it's better to only ask 20 neighbors every day. In my case, all of my neighbors don't play when I play but I want parts ASAP. So I ask all of my 60 neighbors at once. I don't mind requests being backed up since I don't ask for parts for more than 2, 3 days in a row.

Which food gift gives the most money? The cake, brownies, etc. I heard that the stew on Restaurant Story is the most profitable, but I don't know if that's for a fact.

Any answer is great. Thank you all. :)

[teammaggie]

The Cappuccino gives the most money:)

[whatfireball]

Thank you so much! ;)

Does anyone know;

How to delete gifts after accidentally accepting them? :confused:

[EdiiLouise]

I think once accepted then you can't delete or remove

[Rynetory2]

Sorry there's no way to undo this. The gift goes into storage once you accept it. If it's a food item, you can serve it by clicking on it. If it's a part, it stays in your storage until you use it to build an appliance/decoration.

[BeccaBabes_x]

Ah right, OK that's a shame. Thank you guys for your help. 😊

Why, oh why are people gifting random seasonal parts?! They won't be required for anything and it's a giant nuisance to return the same, which is sort of customary. If the gift options were not the ever-worsening hot mess they've always been, it wouldn't be such an imposition. The nbr who sent me the obscure Christmas part from 4 years ago probably mass gifted it so now all the unfortunate recipients are supposed to take extraordinary measures to gift it back??!!

What is the plan here?!

I would imagine they were thinking of the 5-day Goals still that require us to build old appliances with those old parts. I just decline the gifts I don't want and play on. Since we can only receive 20 a day, I'm not losing any gifts by declining, simply ensuring that the 20 I accept are the ones I want.

Unless you've established that you send back what you're gifted, I wouldn't bother. I find it incredibly rude when people do that. Seriously, if you only ever gift what you need, when do your neighbors get what they need? Write it on their wall if you want them to gift it. And say please.

(Although I will occasionally mass-gift what I need in the hopes some neighbors will return same, but (and this is the key) only when it's a part they will also probably find useful.)

I mean, AnnirasSweets is right, sometimes they're just guessing at what might be needed next, but if they repeatedly gift & request an unusual part on the same day, they're obviously gifting what they need with no consideration for their neighbors. I tend to think badly of them.

[callmetired]

Oh, unless I'm collecting goal parts, I'll likely accept whatever is sent, it's useless to maintain any parts inventory at this point. People gifting what THEY want is nothing new. It's the blind exercise in futility that irks me. And the disregard for other peoples time.

You may misunderstand. Not everyone wants you to gift back what they send...I certainly don't.

[riverly]

And this is why I don't gift......
I'm still overwhelmed by all those parts!!! For a new player it's just nuts!!!

[rusticjess]

I don't understand gifting back what each individual sends. If that's what you do, you'd be in the game gifting people back for two hours.

I mass gift...don't like it? Don't add me, or delete me. During goals I will gift the relevant parts. During off time, I gift basic parts (oven element, metal sheet, paint, motor etc) to stock everyone up when those tend to get used a lot.

I refuse to ever gift food items. I find them useless and neighbors that constantly send them get removed. I've had neighbors continuously send food during high-stakes goals, WHILE they send me requests for goals parts to build their goal ovens. I mean....why??

This is pretty much my gifting outlook and I've made sure that my wall clearly states that I mass gift parts only and that I tip when I can but never post. It explains that they'll get goal parts during goals, basic parts on down days and I also make sure that my wall is always cleared enough that these messages are the only thing to be read. But still players add me only to then harass me to gift them specific items, repeatedly ask if I'm active because I don't write on their walls and then there are the ones that leave rude messages because I'm a 'bad' neighbor, lol.

It's very simply really: if another player doesn't have the same playing/gifting/tipping style as you then delete them from your neighbor list and add another player who does fit your needs from the hundreds of thousands of players out there. I refuse to believe that any player is so desperate for neighbors and gifts that they feel the need to go through the hassle of posting on each and every wall demanding others meet their expectations. Real life has to come first, this is a game that's meant to be enjoyable. It baffles me when players stay neighbors when it upsets them enough to have an actual dispute over playing styles.

I saw mention of requests in here so hopefully this is an appropriate thread for my question.

I have an oven I want to build 3 of. One of the special items takes 10 per item. I carefully picked 30 neighbors I know will accept over the next two days (20 today, 10 tomorrow). I can always send out a couple tomorrow if someone misses. I’m not in a hurry for them.

My question is this, once I build the first oven (the one I sent the request from) does it cancel the other requests? I do not think it does, hence the “stacking” statements from earlier post. Am I understanding the coding correctly?
