Because of the ridiculous new goal system, I've been seeing talks about types on neighbours all year. So, I decided to start this thread to share my tips and tricks to help YOU find good neighbours. Feel free to add yours too!!!
Hi, I'm Syddie and I've been playing Bakery Story since 2020 - the starting of Covid. I'm not that much of a long time player. However, during these couple of years, I've encountered a lot of different types of neighbours.
Here are some tips to finding good neighbours:
▪Lay down your rules: Its important that you leave your playing rules on your board. That way when someone looks at your board, they see it and if they don't like it, they'll simply leave and not add. Make sure to keep your board clear so they'll be able to see your rules, cause no one wants to scroll through 3 months of messages to see your ID. Newcomers obviously look for your ID to add you so keep a message letting them know your rules before adding you
Trick for this tip: Leave something that'll let you know if they read the rules. For me, all players can't just see my ID and not the rules. It's highly unlikely. Sadly, I have seen people do that. Apparently reading and comprehending is an issue in game. I know they didn't read - or rather chose to ignore my rules- because of their ID and star rating. If their own aren't matching my requirements, I know they'll just be another one of those neighbours who'd gift you goal after you stated 3 times you're ready for capp ;-; So, I don't add them.
▪Old people are better neighbours: some of you may think Janice who's 20 is more likely to play better than Julie who's 60. Gurlllll lemme tell you, no one reads your board, tells you sweet messages and prayers everyday than an old person. I love themmmm. Most of them have nothing to do so they're committed to a game where they can bake and chat. They're veryyy considerate and reads boards a lot. They aren't rude and don't bother you.
Trick for this tip: the easiest way to know who's old from who's not is definitely their username or message board. The way they talk. "Hello sweet dear, please send me basic parts tomorrow". Just an example. I'm aware not all old ppl are sweet and some bout that life, iykyk XD
▪How do they play: I used to add ppl via other's board. I'd see their post and that already tells me they're someone who posts on boards so they're most likely to read my board posts. Still, I advise you check their board too to know if they have "full" in it too much. That tells you if they're a regular player or every 2 days they're on.
Hope this helps
