I am at a point in my sickness, er ehem, project that I need to evaluate my future with THE game. Months and months of checking the status of the farm several times each day. Scheduling my day around plantings and harvests have been my lifestyle. I am at level 98 and have the largest farm possible...well, not really. A new expansion is available for cash. It just came out a few days ago. I have yet to spend real cash on the game, though I don't pass judgment against those who do. In fact, I admire their commitment. It's kinda like back when I was a closet smoker. I never bought a pack of cigarettes, cuz I wasn't really a "smoker.' Well this is virtually the same thing. But I digress.
There's this new expansion...soon to be available to us Amish farmers. I like to call myself Amish because for a very long time I only clicked to plant and harvest. Each little tiny square I would click. Click. Click. Click. I had to conserve the precious fuel. That was well before the automated equipment became all the rage and more importantly before the "products" could be sold to get FUEL!!! What a boon that was. I now have so much fuel I could go global. But back to the expansion and my dilemma.
At this time I have about seventy crop mastery signs. They are lined up across the south property line. The only crops I have left to achieve are long term. This means it will leave me for DAYS without harvesting, except of course the trees and animals. So, I am seriously considering retirement. I did retire once before. The hiatus was short lived, about 3 months. When I jumped back in I was really lost. There were all kinds of new gadgets and buildings and special animals and WOW was I in for a treat. It didn't take long to get all caught up. So now here I am. Level 98.
Once before I thought I would stop when I reached 70. That was as high as you could get at that time. THEN, shortly after I reached that level they expanded. I have no idea now how high it goes. It wouldn't be too difficult to figure out I suppose...if I had the drive to do it. I just don't know which way to go now. So, I'll harvest in the morning and see how I feel.
Oh, man, I didn't know it once leveled out at 70...I think I am beyond that and need just 2 more, yes 2 more friends to get me to the next step in farm expansion. Then I will stop...NOT! I can always go back to killing and robbing people on Mafia
ReplyDeleteWorld, which is very satisfying to an accountant, who always wanted some excitement in my life...believe me, there is plenty. My daughter is now wondering why I am not cooking dinner now, so must go before my knuckles get broken by my teenager/e
I remember when I first started, and I had 5 plots, and my friends were at level 67 or so...I thought, crud, that is gonna take FOREVER...and yes, it did...now I'm into the 70's, and will fuel no longer being an issue, it's waiting for the crops to finish...corn, for God's sake, 3 days, really? I can lose a lifetime in 3 days...after getting my knuckles broken from my teenage daughter, I made a "real" dinner...stir fry from scratch, yes, from scratch, as I angrily threw the pots and pans around the kitchen, accusing the family of making me the servant in my "real" word....maybe that's why facebook is soooo sexy....you get to go back to your former life and bff's BEFORE marriage and kids, and remember what it was like being a kid...and then the games, well they are insidious at best, and extremely addictive, especially to those that have these types of impulsive behaviors...ahem..anyway...can anyone relate to this picture? I'm sure when the kids are gone, I will be trying to chat with them all day and night when they go off to college, but in the meantime, they bust me on a daily basis...signed...help me, please...just shove me under the plow, seeder or tractor...
