It has came to my attention Someone is attempting to Attack my website/Facebook page

Well this is a new one, someone is going out of their way to attempt and get my Facebook page Deleted. 

The person responsible for 100s of the scams and fake pages on facebook, who lives in Pakistan.  Has Decided because My educating people about his scam practices causes less people to fall for his load of crap, he is going to again use uninformed people to attempt and cause harm to my Facebook page.  He also has posted threats on my site. 

So If by some chance he is able to get enough sheeple to get the fan page deleted, then well that's a shame, But I'm still going to report and try to educate people to avoid his loads of crap. 

Bob.


WW: Free Access Farming, 2nd Week Pay Access What you should know.

First off Free Access Starts on the 5th, It could be early, it could late, but it should be on that day some time.  And by the 5th I mean from 12:00 AM Eastern to 11:59 PM Eastern. 

Here is a bunch of links you should go to and request stuff etc…

http://www.fvnation.com/2011/11/the-2nd-chapter-of-the-winter-wonderland-quest-guide/

For Monday You should have all the following in your box:

15 Hair Dryers
10 Conifer Dust
10 Candy Cane Beams
10 Nails
10 Boards
And of course the 12 Quest Items, or you can wait to try and get them once the quests launch.  Plus you need a whole mess of Bushels to create crafts but you can see them from the Quest Guide.

OR If you want to speed up your questing: Add to the above, 10 Ice Posts, 10 Conifer Dust, 10 Candy Cane Beams, 10 Nails, 10 Boards, 10 Bricks

Special Deliveries: Well You will get the Orchard Parts, and that's likely about it.  If you need water or shovels, Place a Duckpond.

Also this likely will seem obvious to some, but you will need to place on your Winter Wonderland the Following Quest prizes:
Le Emperor Penguin
Frosty Mini Horse
Snowflake Tree
Arctic Peacock
Because as you likely have noticed, when you aren't on the WW (or even in the LHC Quests) the Icon is not there, and other farm doings do not count generally, some people claim their harvests have counted on other farms, but Nothing to confirm such as that.


New Unreleased Trees = New Scams from turds.

So in short there are people out there in the world, that do not have anything else better to do, that to be huge poop heads.  So they dream up these plans to put out Fake Farmville posts in an effort to get you to click them, and spread their fakeness, and get more people to click, its an never ending cycle of fail.

I saw this post on a friends wall today…


Because I love the trees, I know this isn't out.  Plus The Bold line shouldn't say "Farmer's".  And when you hover your cursor on the "via Farmville" you see


This Sadly is the real url to play Farmville, so People that hover there are sometimes tricked into thinking this is real.  But if you place your cursor over the actual Tree Image, you will see this url.

I cut off part of their url since there is no need to give them any advertisement for being scumbags.

So if you did click it you end up seeing *this*

Let me point out the most obviously wrong thing.  Zynga Doesn't feel like they have to tell you something is Official when you go to click a reward post.  Also "Officially by Zynga" just sounds dumb.  Also why does it say "Do you want this? Present Tree?"  Clearly this is being wrote by some like 14 year old in an effort to feel special or who knows what evil reasons someone would have to make a bs fake Farmville reward thing.  And another thing, these crap bags post on their wall that they sent people a Dart in Farmville, to help make them look more legit.  It makes me frigging sick.  More so than I already am, cough. 

And if you guessed that super old Youtube Video would be making another appearance, then you are correct.

In short the easiest way to stay safe.

1) Do not blindly click anything you see, No reward is worth causing your computer or friends computers to maybe get something evil on them.
2) Always hover on the Image to see what the actual link really is. 
3) Never Hover on "via Farmville" to see if something is legit, you will be burned EVERY TIME.

So many scams and they'll never go away because people will keep thinking they can get something for nothing.


Snowflake Tree, Where is it?

I've got 5 emails in the past day asking the same question, where is the Regular Snowflake tree.  One person told me they mastered the Giant Snowflake Tree, but were so concerned they missed a tree they spent hours trying to get to live chat.  Well because of my love of the trees, I too would have hated if I'd missed the Level 1 Schneefloeckli Tree.  So its with good news I can report its not been released Just yet.  Its a Quest Prize in Chapter 2 of the WW Quests


Its still secretly funny to me the Level 1 Repaint came out before the original version.


Let’s Put the Fun in Fund Raiser! Or some such.

I had this idea, that's kinda fun….

And to make it easier I'll explain it via the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How sort of breakdown.

What: Its a Fundraiser for site costs+to be able to increase the amount Donated to a Specific charity at the end of the year (THe money from Thanksgiving, the Friday after and part of this funds,  to a charity that was suggested by someone on the fan page)

Who: Well It'd be you, our loyal visitors!

Why: Because It seems like a pretty neat idea, and itt'll help the site and a good cause, plus all those that participate will end up with at least 1 (if not more) Unique Collectibles.  (Don't laugh!)

When: Well My timeline for the next few days, hopefully will line up with a post completely outlining things on Sunday/Monday (With Plush Info Being Sent Sat/Sun to those that were interested, Classes and Coughing Delayed me)

Where: well this one is fairly straight forward, here, on this website.  And Well Paypal as well.

How:  Well There is going to be an Item, that is (wait for it….) ……. Autographed by Bob.  Yes.  What you are buying is an Autographed Limited Edition Numbered Item (that some will have some extra value more than just my Autograph)…

More Will be up Fairly soonish, but the short version is some lucky folks will end up with a "Collectible" Bob Autographed item and some Farmcash.  Plus people will be helping out the chosen charity, plus the site.  Its really a win win win scenario.

AND At least 1 Friend of the Site has offered to help sponsor the epic that is this one, so that's pretty neat.


The Money Train. A Warning about the Train.

No I'm not talking about that Movie with Wesley  Snipes and Woody Harrelson. 

I'm talking about the Train on the Wonderland, and maybe other things that when clicked the first item is "Complete Now – ###FC"

Clicking this is Bad.(Yeah My Train level isn't that high, I'm lazy)

You have to be Careful NEVER TO CLICK IT.

IT WILL SUCK YOUR CASH AWAY IN A FLASH.

 

What to do if you do click it.

The first thing you need to do is Quickly close the window and hope the action didn't reach the server.  If you just look at it in disbelief you will not succeed. AS SOON AS ITS CLICKED YOU NEED TO CLOSE THE WINDOW.

If you are Lucky you will still have your Cash when you reload.  I know this works because just now I tried it, but I had my keyboard ready to close as soon as I clicked it. 

If you weren't as quick on the draw.  You should see about getting ahold of Zynga Support at http://support.zynga.com/

Email, Live Chat, Something.  Maybe they will do you the solid and refund you and throw you a little something for the trouble that was their failure at including a Confirm Dialog.
