I have won all the prizes and I am very happy about that. I won't use many decorative items. My farm has 70 pets and 3 show ponies, they need space.
For future events I would be happy if we had the opportunity again to help other players by selling them our unneeded event items. I had no fun with FS2 for a long time, because the possibility to sell something was blocked. Everybody knows the feeling when you were happy because you found event items in the newspaper. I wish those times back.
At the gnome event I had a lot of gnome spice, while many others were unlucky and found hardly any gnome spices. I would have loved to help them, but I couldn't.
I don't like FS2 making us lone wolves. We're a community.
