Retiring

:P I've decided to retire this blog. I'm just no longer motivated to update this.

Sorry. :(

Thanks for reading though!

I'll leave the url open. :D

I feel it slipping away.

Today CS had made me mad.

That's because I spent 4 hours taking care of my 350+ trees, 62 plots, and 30 animals.

TWICE!

Yes twice... cs refused to save so I had to do it all again.
And doing it twice is what really bugs me.
once is okay...but twice, because it wouldn't save...well that's just :/

But I realized I must love cs enough to play for 4 hours ensuring my trees were harvested and watered because I didn't want to lose money.

And I also realize that I detest growing trees.
They are simply too much work, and too stressful.

and I vow I will never grow trees again especially in a huge amount except for:

• If CS introduces limited spirits
• For quests
• For tree spirits (though I think I'd rather buy them from the forum)

Trees are the stress of CS.

I'm sticking to animals all the way!


I also feel that cs is getting slower and slower. with more errors!

It's really quite sad.

It used to be okay, sometimes it would freeze when those losing connection error signs pop-up.
But I could always close my browser and reload, and it would be fairly smooth with minimal connection losses.

Then now, it's okay smooth, and doesn't freeze at all (except today... =.=) but those lose connection sign appears every 30 seconds and I feel that I'm not actually connected at all except for the first 1 minute I logged on. and I have to battle to save the game. It takes around 5 tries, if not more. then that means it won't save, and I have to do everything again.

I do not like this....

:/ Why CS why? Pet Society is slow but it doesn't lose connection ever. Though it does freeze and gets slow.

Restaurant City is slow, and sometimes freezes when I go too the menu/deco but not too often, although sometimes little glitchy stuff happens. It occasionally gets lost connection or cannot save. but very rarely. And visiting friends gets stuck loads, but I just don't do that anymore.

Country Story loses connection every 30 seconds, it's horrible to save, and has glitches here, there and everywhere....but why do I like it so much..?

I just wish their servers were better....

Well, all the unsure savings, another reason not to grow trees...if I can save I'll just give up and leave my animals/plots hungry or unharvested. As opposed to letting my fruit rot, go out of sync and lose money.

:/

Also...yellow ostriches are going away after this week.

But you could say they are disappearing already seeing as majority links cannot be clicked.
Well, I've got plenty, but am I greedy for wanting more?? lol

I just hope one of my real life friends got 1 ostrich.. :/

There's no hope this links prob is going to be fixed before they are gone.
They didn't fix the valentine's feeds did they??




And if you didn't already know I've opened my shop!!

It's not got much in it yet but I think I may add more soon.
But right now I'm buying loads. ;)

Check it out!

SandFish's CS shop

Well that's it for now!

Thanks!

No more Expiring gifts!

No more EXPIRING GIFTS!!

A SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND!!


I'm so happy about this. People please, spread the word, we don't want anymore expired gifts.

Post it as your status if you can!

By the way this also works for RC, and probably other apps too.

============================

To all the country story players, here's the way to send the stars to
ur friends without causing it to expire. The steps are as follow:

1. Choose ur friends and Click SEND gifts.

2. After that CS will prompt you to Invite ur friends. DO NOT click the
RED 'X'... to exit the box. CLICK 'SKIP' instead. In this way, the gifts
you have sent will not expire

============================

It works. I can confirm a few gifts already. People start testing it as soon as they know. HAHA.

EXCITED!!

============================

Enough CAPS!

============================

I'm going to reopen my trading shop.

It's in-progress now.

I spent a long time last night taking pictures and making images for my shop.

If I'm going to re-open it's going to be a grand re-opening with pictures and such!

:)

Can't wait!!

I'm excited. hehehe.

And also I'm going to edit the trading guide after I finish my shop.

==============================

So today I planted a lot of trees to finish off the doggie quests.

I cleared out most of my decos, for space.

apparently I feel it's better to plant 1 batch of around 350 trees than do 2 smaller batchs or even smaller batches.

I don't know why.

I semi-regretted it after planting.

It looks slow and loads of work. Especially if the game loses connection...

But I can't go back now. after this I'm not planting trees for a long time except for quests.

Than I'll redecorate my farm. :D

I'm too excited right now. :D

Can't help it. Ahahaha well got to go plan my grand re-opening. among other things.

Will blog tomorrow. Go get your ostriches! I know I will.
I want 50!! (Maybe that's too much XD)

CS Days

It amazes me that I have not blogged since Sunday.

It doesn't feel that long to me O_O

But I shall blog today. :D

I have realized that some days are good CS days and some days are bad CS days.

Today was a bad CS day. And it's still early!

It took me 2 hours to do everything I wanted to on CS.

I reloaded at least 4 times.

Why? Because CS insists on losing connection every few seconds.

And although I love that it doesn't freeze as much anymore, having to close the game because I cannot save it, and then having to redo every single thing I already did because it didn't save.

Well that is just annoying.

and then there's things I can't do in-game like buying a ostrich because it's losing connection, so I have to reload just so I can buy an ostrich in the small frame of time before it loses connection.

Well, I just I have to get used to it.

Today I harvested my 1st batch of trees for the doggie quest.

Now I'm about 40% done of the 5th dog quest.
Actually it's more like I harvested the second half of my first batch of trees, the 4th season trees that were left behind.

I got quite a few sad spirits and 3 snowflake spirits, my first 3, needed to complete my magic trees.

:)

Soon I shall be finished with the doggie quest!!

And because of the new magic trees, and tons of ostriches (17 atm), and other things I feel the need to redecorate my farm soon. :)

Yay!

================

Now Wednesday was a great CS day!

I'm not sure why but it was as if CS refused to lose connection, even once!

It was great, I completed everything I needed to smoothly. <3

================

I'm also thinking of re-opening my cs shop, which closed due to..auto-sell.

And I need to redo my trading guide..though that doesn't seem to fun. :)
But with all the changes it's out dated now.

Yea, so I gotta do it....

:)

===============

Well, I don't really have much else to say.

Though I can't wait for the surprise that is big and can't jump.

I'm sure you all know it by now right?
If not check the CS fan page.

Everyone says elephant. But..what would elephants do?

Can't wait for the next update, since there was none this week

May post a picture of my farm when I redecorate...

Who knows?

:)

==================

CS trial pay

Hi everyone!!

I am proud to say, I have found time to blog! Instead of being wildly addicted to trying to get more Yellow Ostriches, Stars and clicks.


So, a couple days ago I was doing business on my farm as usual. Then I accidentally clicked on the Add Coins button, one of the many buttons I accidentally click on, which also include the Free Ostrich button. :)

So I clicked on it, and was about to close it when my eye catches something.

>> TRIAL PAY<< href="http://myspace.laymark.com/">

It loaded!!



what? only two options and both require you to buy either something that costs at least $50 USD or $50 Australian dollars, and it gives 23 playfish cash?

Awww....



Well at least there is a trial pay option for my country.
Hopefully they'll put in actual free options in the future.




======================

Today I also discovered that the Yellow Ostrich is very good for profit, if not the best animal.
12 hours for a 1200 ostrich eggs.

A normal Ostrich takes 24 hours for some reason. It seems to have changed from before.

Perhaps they are bugged and yellow Ostriches are supposed to be 24 hours.
It is strange to me that a free animal would be so good.

But I'm going to collect as many as possible. :)

Hopefully it is on purpose and they don't change it :D

========================

So I planted a bunch of trees today. Around 200+

This is for the dog collection quests.

I tried to maximize my space, so I could get them in the fewest possible batches.

By the time these trees are done I'll be at the 5th quest, if I don't mess up my harvests. :)

Then I think I can complete it with 1 more batch. 5th quest and 6th quest require so many trees.

=====================

So I was wondering,

What is the most difficult part of getting Ostriches?

For me it's accepting gifts. :)

Clicking all the facebook gifts takes awhile.

But in the game it's even harder because it's slower.

That's probably the most painful part for me. :)
Not the clicking of links or anything.

But then again, posting a feed and buying the actual ostrich isn't that fun.

Sometimes the feed won't post. I get facebook errors or some other type of errors and I just can't post it. Causing me to reload the game again and again.

And sometimes buying ostriches won't work. No matter how many times I click the buy button sometimes it refuses to be bought.

Currently I have 12 Ostriches. Though I need to still buy 3 more. The buy button wouldn't work earlier.

I'm still getting ostriches. I may be a little nuts about it now. :)

=====================

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I finished half the blog post before I went to dinner but when I came back the was a blackout =.=

So obviously I couldn't post.

Just had some free time to finish blogging. :)

Eight Ostriches

I've got eight Ostriches now. Working on 9.

I've got great friends. :D

This is just a update. I'll blog in more detail tomorrow or monday.
I'm actually very tired. (Not really, I stayed up too long so I don't feel tired anymore, but I need to sleep)

:) Felt like I needed to blog. :D

Hope you are all having fun playing CS. :D

Ostrich Fever!!

I've got Ostrich Fever!! Yes I do!! Click click click. :D

So I added an Ostrich counter. Sort of.
It says how many Ostriches I've currently got,as of now 4.

Some people just have tons of friends. The most I've seen to date is 8 Ostriches!!

:) I just love Ostriches. Ostrich farm!! Plus.. free...animals.. :) It's all good!

I'm spending so much time adding friends and clicking. :D

As for country story,

Well I completed the first of the dog collection quest.
But of course they throw you a curve ball, the 2nd one requires 15 apple harvests in addition to some of the new trees I don't remember which.
Since tree take 3/4 seasons, I think I'm just gonna do it slowly. Sure I could plant 15 apple trees now but then all the timing of tree will make it much too stressful.

So I'm just gonna do a batch of tree for each quest.

Unless people start posting the requirement for each quest up. So I can plan ahead the number of trees of each kind I need. But now I'm fumbling around in the dark.

:D Can't wait they are so cute. Cuter than the lambs in my opinion. Although one or two don't look very natural I still prefer dogs over lambs.

And I think I need more space...where am I going to put them ostriches??
But they may be a good profit. Can't wait till they grow up. <3

========================

The game seems to lose connection a lot more lately...
I'm not sure why. But it seems to freeze less as well.

Well...I don't really like losing connection. Because I'll never really know if what I'm doing is saved.

I once tried to do stuff while it was losing connection. Then I found out later that nothing had saved. (The game crashed, I didn't get to manual save)

Boy was I frustrated...

Then there's it losing connection and you do everything okay but you can't manual save...
It is really frustrating.
Plus the game is still slow for me.
Much better than last week but still slow.

Oh well. I don't completely hate the game now. Ostriches saved me.
Still I miss trading... :(

Snowbeary... <3

Off to get more ostriches!! *obsessed*
