Dont impose your set of rules on the game.

When I first joined this game I was enjoying the cooperative nature of it till I had begun to raise pigs and leave em on the street. What got me the most annoyed was one I raised in my yard (My first!)that I put out on the street along with a piggie feeder..( I was staying away to long and didn want him to starve so I felt hed be able to eat well on the street....Well Here I was interacting with said pig on my street and someone came along and poof..Pig was gone...Then poof..feeder gone...I was so upset I quit the game and didnt come back for a while..
Till I thought..Okay what the individual did may not have been cool for me but it was within the rules of the game. Therefore I have nothing to be upset about.  The fault was mine for thinking that the pig would stay there and that the feeder wouldnt have been taken...So I started anew and replayed the game. I did send a complaint about the incident and since then saw a few online fights of sorts over taking pigs versus they are free to take if on public land...
I did warn people to not get upset over what is an allowed thing in the game and to instead let the makers of the game know about the situation and what ways to fix it. Still some people got very upset cause that isnt how they thought it should be so it had to be as they thought otherwise it was wrong even if the game allows it.
There is a difference between what is wrong and what isnt cool in online game play...All the compaints about pig nappings led to the 42 in game day block that keeps somoene from taking another pig from the street for 42 days after they took the first pig...
 I hate individuals who get upset, can get nasty and abusive over a person following the rules..It may not be cool to do some of what the game allows but as long as it is allowed by the game it isnt a wrong thing...Instead of being a nasty person and trying to impose the rules you think should be followed instead of the rules in the game; please instead write to the people who create the game. If enough people write about a certain issue and a way to fix it then more than likely such a change will happen that will benefit everyone...But again..Dont impose your rules of what you think is or isnt right in the game when it is perfectly okay to do so by the game rules!! 
In fact I think people should take advantage of the loop holes so new rules can be programed into the game to fix these holes. Then we get less of these people who start fights over what they think should be and not over what is..
I just had a similar incident over one of these loop holes...The person really got out of hand about it..Said he had a friend who was one of the creators of this game who would cancel my account cause of what happened...I dont think his friend will but iIf he does I know where I can post about such practices on this game as well as the people ive gotten to be part of the game.(Some who have subscribed)and who will complain if not cancel their accounts.. 
If the guy had been nice about things I would have undone what I did but he wasnt,,He set out to impose his own rules on the game so therefore his rules is the way the game has to be and not the way the rules are..
Im not exactly happy about some of the rules of this game..(It definatly is an adult game when you got things like alchohol and drugs in it. Which is why Im keeping my nephew away from it) cause otherwise it would have been a great game for a young kid...
And I know me not following your rules belief will make me unpopular with some of you who self impose rules of how you think it should be but as long as its okay and you dont think it should be then dont waste your breath trying to make someone follow your rules..Instead write to the creators of the game and explain what you see as a problem and what you think a good peaceful solution would be...Doing so will make the game a better game in the long run as the more people who write about a particular issue the more likely a solution will be found..It may not please everyone (Im not too keen on the piggie solution but it is certainly better than it was before.)
 In a nutshell..The world doesnt revolve around you and what you think things should be like! There are better ways to solve a problem if you think the current rules are not cool...I usually just ignore people like that and tell em to write to the creators except then I usually get the "Im going to complain about you and report you for not following my rules but instead for following the rules of the game....Just plain stupid and ridiculous!! And this last guy was a real nasty pickle! Okay..Of the Rant box!

  • so....you put a piggy feeder in the street (instead of your back yard like they are designed to be) and someone took it...and then you got angry????yea, ok.

    just fyi "This tool only works in your back yard."

    and another fyi...the game is 14+ so allowing your nephew to play would violate the tos. This is an adult game!

    I might be wrong, but I think that was the crux of his post...?

  • :) I got that...I was more pointing out that that long page could easily be summed up into something real short. Most of the rants in the forums could just post that and be done haha

    The OP has every right to discuss what he/she does/doesn't like about the game as it currently is implemented.

  • 1. I had  really hard time reading the OPs post. Its all jammed together.
    2. Piggy feeders arent allowed on streets, so how did you get it there for someone to take it?
    3. You are correct. This a game for adults. Not for kids. (Thank the Giants!!)
    4. What is the point of this post?  Just just rant??
    5. Let me inform you, the world does revolve around me.  I have my own orbit, Mr.

  • I ran into 2 piggie feeders on the street last night right after the incident so thats what made me remember. I was able to pick em up and set em back down with no problem...It may have been allowed back then or maybe its a bug?? Or maybe thats what the developers intended by wiritting that in but the code to prevent it was never put in the game??
    Glad to hear about the 14 and over. I dont have a problem with the alchohol and drugs for myself I just pointed it out cause the games cooperative nature would make such a nice addition to many kid games and wish he could play more of those types of games plus this is a great game and something you want to share with say your nephew..maybe when he is older..
    Hmm ..Must have been a part rant since I got down of my rant box afterwards. however it did have a point
    The point?? Its been my bad experience to bump into many of these nasty people and have seen some nasty stuff cause of it...It ruins the game for me when someone tries to impose their rules and not try to solve things in a peaceful way and properly solve the problem without nastiness and what they assume the game has to beby their rules. Its not something to be reported if it is playing by the rules. People seem to forget that.
    Oh ive had many a go away its mine mine thing..Even when you tell em about the share thing..Its still their mine.
    I shouldnt have posted a that hour when I was that tired but this individual just really got to me..I shouldnt havesomeone following me and a constant chat barrage of nasty bad language and insults. And ive seen worse than that. (Yes he is on ignore)
    As long as your orbit doesnt collide with mine otherwise we will have to follow the rules of the universe and probably be both mutually anailated...
    Im curious as to what this copy and paste says you send when someone does the mine mine thing?? Just curious as I dont want to spam someone no matter how nasty they get...

    It's not that you can't set them down in the street, it's that pigs won't eat from them in the street.  They'll eat off of trees or they'll eat food lying around (they'll even eat the meat left over from another piggy dying...ewwww), but they won't eat from feeders in the street.

  • I read through that entire post, and just can't find the point. OP must just like to see his words up on the interwebs.

    One thing I did pick up, if we don't like the game rules ask for them to be changed. Therefore, devs, I would like to see piggy/chicken/butterfly poison! That's right, without natural predators, the populations are getting out of hand! We have tree poison, so why not piggy poison? I think it would add a wonderful new gameplay environment!
