Farmville Nation

My my little site of mine, you have came quite a ways since I birthed you with the help of others way back when.  Gosh Re-reading that, it sounds awful creepy, but its staying!.

People ask me semi oftenish about the "History" of the site, where it came from, and why I like to pretend to be some sort of Knowledgeable farmville savant.  Well Gather round the campfire because I'm kinda gonna throw out a short version of the historia.

Way back in the late part of summer 2009, a friend of mine challenged me at this game called "Farmville", she'd been playing for awhile and thought she was the "hot poop".  So being that I like hard stuff (twss), I decided I'd give it a whirl.  Within just MINUTES of playing this game, I was enthralled with it, it tapped into my brain and reminded me of the funtimes playing SimFarm in forestry class in Highschool, and mucking with Harvest moon a bit.  The Cuteness of the animals called to me, but I was soon DEVASTATED to discover I was too late to get the Cow of Brown that I'd seen on others farms when I was going around taking photos for my Ribbon.  And then uh, magically the sheep_black became cow_brown, and much joy was had.

My Friend ended up losing interest in the game after I beat her oh so badly, it wasn't even a contest.  It was George Foreman vs Fat, and he knocked it out.  (see He has this grill…)

In October of 2009 I ventured onto the Official Farmville Forums.  Which I'd describe as a much more annoying version of the Mos Eisley (As Obi-Wan Said it ""wretched hive of scum and villainy.")  I would come across a fella named Jake Smith, who at the time, had the same mindset as myself, and wanted to get out the Farmville news to the masses.  And I offered my services to him, and he accepted and I began writing things for his website. 

One of the first things I did, was suggest we have a Chat Room.  And within a day or few, people who are now some of my closest friends, started randomly appearing!  Quirinus, then Jenzie, and Korey.   And then there was another influx of folks, Lucy, Lola, Ryan, Gordon, Farrah, etc etc, and by Late November, the Fanatic Chat Room was Rocking like a hurricane.  Then We picked up more people Amber, Erika, Fortna, Roses, S1, Luke, Mouse, Imelda, and bunches others, It was so epic.  Then I Decided I was done.  2 Days before Christmas of 2009, I deleted my login, gave the house to Q, and washed my hands of things, The direction Jake was wanting to take the Chat/site were not matched up to mine, plus I was having some other issues.  But On Christmas Eve, Mouse convinced me that humans required my return, because people kept asking where I was…  So Back I went, and new friends showed up!  Devin, Bonnie, Coffee (RIP Marcia, you were a good friend and human).  And well Jake was further destroying the chatroom..  As such Mouse, Q, Farrah in myself had secret rebellion meetings….    And It was decided that the chat needed to be moved before Jake Destroyed it with his stupidness,  And it was decided that since I still enjoyed writing things about Farmville, I'd create a crappy little blog, and post stuff there!  And after Jenzie suggested the Name FarmvilleNation.  So it started.  Jake got *really* pissed about my leaving, and well taking almost everyone with me.  So on the 3rd Birthday I'll go over that 1st Year. 

Gosh most of the above sounds like a real long crazy rambling, and I'd not have it any other way.
