New Beginnings

Hi! Welcome to the first blog post of my attempt at a Country Story blog.

Why am I making a CS blog you ask?

Several reasons:

1. I'm obsessed with Country Story. (I've got to be since I'm making a blog!)
2. The trading forum is dying. My Country Story passion. And now I'm trying to find a new one. Blogging. (Yes, amazing I love Country Story for reasons OTHER than the game)
3. I love blogging. Or talking. When there is a good topic. I.e CS.
4. If I blog I can pretend people are actually reading, rather than on the forums where I can tell people aren't reading. lol.
5. I just want to tell my feelings toward Country Story and not create many many forum threads.

Anyone reading should know these things.

1. This is not a blog about CS guides or how to play the game, etc.
2. This is not a blog where you'll find cheats etc. (Trust me, almost all websites have something to do with cs cheats it's disgusting...the forum is really the only good discussion place in my honest opinion)
3. This is a blog where I write about my feelings about Country Story, other playfish games, and tell a few exciting stories (playfish related). It may be "diary" like.

It is my hope the this will pick up!
And fill the hole in my heart of losing trading.
But there will always be a piece missing.

I'm being emotional. :D

I really do hope this will become...at least something.

And if it does I'll probably decorate the blog more.

I plan to blog everyday. But I'll probably fail, so every other day seems reasonable.
But my aim is everyday.

At the very least I WILL blog once a week when Country Story is updated!

And now a little story to make things more interesting (I hope)

SandFish's Playfish Journey

My Playfish Journey began awhile ago.
Before I discovered Playfish, facebook was just another boring social site that I joined simply because my friends kept bugging me to. Although I admit, much more interesting than other social sites.

Prior to playfish I hadn't yet played any game apps. Though I had tried apps such as, (fluff)friends, top friends, and various quiz apps. Not quite fun.

Ironically, my brother found the first playfish game, not me. He doesn't really like playfish games. Or any facebook games. He's not really a facebook/playfish games type of person.

The first playfish game I played was Word Challenge.

I was interested because it looked like Text Twist, and I liked word games.
The highest person on my brother's list was around 8k-9k points.
We thought it was very high, since the first game we played we got quite low.
However I'm an extremely competitive person, and soon I practiced enough to beat him. Then I aimed for my own list, friend's high score was 20k. After a long time I did beat her and got 21k. Not high at all compared to world lists, but high enough for me. And when I got to the top I stopped playing.

After Word Challenge, I discovered Who has the Biggest Brain. As I'm competitive, I tried it as well. Unfortunately, I'm not at the top of my friend's list yet. ;)
Soon after I discovered Geo Challenge. The same concept, I practiced until I was the top.

Pet Society took longer to get to me. One of my friends continually kept inviting me. However I declined several times. Because I hadn't seen any pictures, and from the name I easily assumed it was like (fluff)friends, which was boring.

I found Pet Society very cute. And back then it wasn't slow on my laptop, (but it's horribly slow now). Of course to my competitive nature the things I enjoyed most were playing with my pet, frisbee, skipping rope and ball, to get the gold trophies. To which I enjoyed that me friends could not get them. (XD competitive) But I never really enjoyed making money or purchasing items (because I didn't have enough money for everything I wanted)

But around this time I did join the forum. Mainly to enter contests for free stuff. XD

But I eventually stopped playing much.

Then my exams started, and I also found Restaurant City.

During my time at home, studying (we had to study at home for about a month and a half) I played RC. And a few of my friends did as well. We started to get competitive with points. Back then you had to be online with the screen open to earn experience. It wasn't fun to leave it open. But to keep up with my friends or surpass them I had to. And did.

Around this time I started adding people for RC. I needed ingredient to level 3 dishes to level 10, so I could get more exp per dish, and beat my friends. (I was also studying XD)

It was very funny when my friends were mad that I had level 10 dishes. Though one of my friends who was higher than me could get the same amount of exp as me a day, despite my level ten dishes and his below level 5 dishes. The competition was on!

However after my exams, I slowly began to lose interest.

I no longer had the will to leave RC running all day.

Around last August, I was very bored at home. And found out that playfish had 2 new games!
Crazy Planets and Country Story!

Wow! Two new games for me to try?!

I played Crazy Planets a lot at the beginning.
It reminded me of Gunbound which I loved.
But eventually I got tired of not having enough metals to level up my weapons.
And I had almost gotten all the medals just a few were missing.
I gave it up.

At that time I also started playing Country Story.

I loved it as soon as I played it.

Eventually I found the forums again. And learnt about trading.

Back when we needed 15 friends for the dog, I didn't want to add random people.
So I tried to convince my friends to played.
And got quite a few to play. Not only install the game. But play!
Although, they've all quit already.

But I had loved trading. I loved it so much that I created a guide. Which has not been updated in a long time, due to Country Story continuously changing drastically and affecting trading.

I remember buying one of each deco tree the day before they were removed.

I loved trading because I could get CC items!
Though now it's going to be hard.

Trading was a great part of playing CS.

Once I got hooked to CS, I would try other Playfish games.
Like Gangster City, and Hotel City.
Although CS is still the best, despite everything.

Country Story is truly a great game!

I'm glad I found it!
