I have super competitve Farmers in my Ruby II League that started slowly and then all of a sudden accumulated 3 or 4 times the points to make it to the podium. @captaincanuck I am very saddened to hear that people are calling veteran players like you cheaters. If I ever make it to the Diamond Leagues I will strive not to be put on the Cheater Wagon.

captaincanuck your list isn't cheating. It's resource management which is what this game is. I'm a little impressed that you have it down so well lol. I don't worry about it. If I'm close to a good spot and I have a shovel in my inventory AND it works well with where I am as far as harvests, level up, etc. I'll do the extra stuff to get there but otherwise, I don't care. Just me.

I got the diamond shovel from one of the events and I was tired of it sitting in my inventory along with some other red, silver and gold shovels that I want to get rid of. Therefore, I thought I would see how many points I could accumulate and this is the result.

She asked how it is possible but apparently the answer doesn't suit her since she still calls it cheating.

I guess using the resources won through events is cheating though I thought that was what they were for.

The only thing I could not have done from that list is use a Diamond shovel... all the rest is doable if I were interested in getting a huge score in the first couple of hours while I had double time active, and I really don't have any connection with Zynga...

I do actually have a few prize shovels in my inventory, but they seriously screw up my way of playing the game, I try to not go over 70K a week if I can help it. thus lessening my chances of being in a Cheater wagon.

You don't need those kind of scores to win the Fair, it is perfectly possible to win Diamond league with under 10K

I'm sitting at 684k and here's how it's done:

1. Diamond Shovel;
2. Instabloom machine with one use left;
3. Instabloom machine in inventory for use right after first instabloom machine is done;
4. 24 hour water certificate (use after 2nd instabloom is placed);
5. Planting day before 24 hour crops which are bloomed for harvest after fair;
6. Coop Bloom to be used;
7. Breed level 5 horse;
8. Breed level 5 cow;
9. Use hungry animal certificate;
10. Use a 15 minute water certificate before 1st use of instabloom machine;
11. Use a level up certificate.

I think that covers it.

Thank you for the compliment. In honesty, the rewards (usually a few power or some fertilizer), if I do win, will never compensate for the certificates and resources used but I was curious to see how many points I could get if I really wanted to try.

The New Quest came out a few hours ago for some of us. It is another one of those animal inn quests. The Build is at front by the Special Delivery Mailbox where the Caramel Stand used to be as that quest expired

Clearing your notifications is fine, it is a useless list of what has already gone into your inventory, if you had reached the limit on anything during this, it will be lost into the great Zynga void.

Gifts. use at your leisure when you have some space to use the gifted resources of water. fert, or the weird useless stuff like metal and bricks... People send those in the mistaken belief they are sending water btw...

HELP /REQUEST,,, ohhhh lovely lovely give one get one, a fabulous source of baby bottles, water and fert... but you need to have SPACE to accept them or,,, yep great Zynga void awaits them..
