    The goal is getting closer - yes - but will people have time to do it?

    In the morning, my time, about 7 hours ago, there was an increase of 8% 7% 7% 7%, on the other hand, it's almost NIGHT and I don't think everyone does event tasks at night in Farmerama.

    I HOPE that all percentage possibilities will be full and 10x Piccolo Box, otherwise I honestly won't be so upset if I don't get it!

    Anki, I am getting more hopeful that we will reach our 4 goals! This farm has spent BBs to reset the workshop part (#3 - maracas) 3 times because this farm doesn't have workshops out. In fact, JUST for this event, I sacrificed stars and got the "free" manufactory from the magic tree. First time this farm has EVER put out workshops...but 8 maracas a day isn't going to get me, er, all of us, the goodies, so I've played the "lightbulb" mini-game so many times, that last night I dreamt it.

    Anyway, last evening, this farm also got to 600 maracas and has done it's part to reach the global end on that section. Now, I move on to the baby farms.

    I see that this morning, it's the 4th section that's lagging behind. I think this farm and sewinglady's can afford the BBs to play another round of the mini-game. If you can afford the BBs...and you can stand to play the mini-game another 30 times...well, you know what to do.

    In my totally unscientific guessilistic speculative opinion, the fall festival had waay less activity than in previous years.
    However, the world water event decades ago surprisingly reached a similar goal (as this event) when it seemed like we would not make it.
    Maybe Farmerama had a way of ensuring success...:p

    Thank you PrairieMaiden23 for your contributions.

    We are on target to achieve the koala and the cocodile now.

    Current projected progress of 99% and 98% for the workshops and breeding.

    Phew! All done - Saturday night here in the back of the bayou and I just completed my final personal task. Thanks everyone who shared strategy as it helped so much. Critters and workshops moved off the fields and planting crops again to stock up for the Season which begins tomorrow. (Looking forward to getting the mandarin fish pool!)

    Wish everyone working the event success with their personal goals!:)

    ATTENTION ! <<--->> FAQ: At least 1 Personal task must be completed and all global counters must be 100% to win the Birthday Ole Magic Stalk Row 1.

    --->>so a person plays even ONE PART, get all the prizes, if all 4 parts are 100% so TRY even make a ONE part!


    if my english is "about right"

    My original text under (do not double-post):

    Good BUT - Stalss and Workshops are NOT in Play - no drops there! Sad !

    and then my own text:

    Good morning wishes from Finland!

    It's positive when you look at those percentages of the COMMON POT and the price of fertilizer (manure) at the market place, people all over the world are now doing those Workshop and Stalls tasks. The last time I looked myself, the Manure price was below 1.0 CC - it's been 5-6 YEARS for sure, before that it was when the market-responsive market reform came out!
    All percentages are already over 70, with 78-76-75 and 74.

    But is that enough when the event time was 2 full weeks, i.e. 14x24= 336 hours and now the PROGRESS (avg.) is about / just over 75% and of that 336 hours, 73.6% of that time has passed!

    It's getting really tough!

    There's even talk that a category might fall below ONE percent, meaning we won't get all the bonuses (and the category's main prize of 2x Piccolo Box)!

    HOPEFULLY at the end, some higher power (organizer) will make the task easier or give Grace, a bit like Maradona's goal in the World Championship Tournament!

    I think that way also! So try to make at least one part, plants or workshops or Animals or breeding and if time goes so, that 1 of those is all ready 100% --> make another gategory please! And if two are ready, make one of those 2 left!

    There's a lot of confusion about the prizes of this event and how the global multiplier works.

    Players will automatically get 1 prize when they complete a task. Each of the 8 tasks are associated with a prize. At the end of this event, players will get 1 prize for each task done: 1x of each giver for finishing tasks 1-3-5-7 (event drops & crop donations) and also 1x of the crates and Piccolo Boxes when completing tasks 2-4-6-8.

    The meters/bars associated with each animal don't have an immediate effect of that particular animal prizes, they contribute to the global multiplier that will affect all prizes. Once a meter/bar will get to 100%, the global multiplier will go up by 1. So the first meter that will be filled will raise it to x2, second meter filled to x3, etc. When all four meters will be filled, the global multiplier will reach x5.

    A player that hasn't completed a specific task will not get the prize associated with it. Of course that means that the global multiplier will not work on an unfinished task for that player.

    To get the Birthday Olé Magic Stalk Row 1, players must complete at least 1 task out of the 8 and all 4 meters must reach 100%. That's where the problem is: if one meter reaches only 99%, noone will get the cloud row. -.-

    For exemple, let's say that a player only does task 8 which is associated with the 2 Piccolo Boxes. At the end, that player will get the 2 Piccolo Boxes. If the global multiplier reaches x2, that player will get 4 Piccolo Boxes (2 Piccolo boxes as a base prize X global multiplier).

    I will only be able to complete 6 out of the 8 tasks.

    I now read that I need to complete all 8 tasks to qualify for the global multiplier. So I think I am only going to get one of the prizes whereas if I had completed all 8 tasks and we get a multiplier of x5 then I would get +34 items more. It's like I will get 6 and most will get 8 x 5 = 40.

    I hope I get a multiplier on the tasks I did complete but I think I missed out not getting the workshops running in time

    It took me about 3-4 days to figure out how this really works and lo and behold, I had my own parts.

    Apparently it can be difficult, Workshops for example, 12h workshop, water GreenMeadow, 44 times in one session and this was done in a week, now many can't even do it in two, how fast would it have been if I had used Power Feed?

    However, several players have given tips in this section on how to do this easily. Hopefully maintenance will come to the rescue if the percentages stop at 90-95% and lower the limits.

    So close to getting 10x Piccolo Box and then not getting it! It's really annoying NOW. I'm sorry for ranting here but this shouldn't have been this difficult after all.

    Sorry but no offense!

    The global multiplier is good for everyone, it will affect the prizes of all tasks that you've finished. I read the French, Spanish & Portuguese forums to make sure. Winning the Birthday Olé Magic Stalk 1 only requires players to complete one task and that the 4 meters reach 100%.

    I think we've got a good strong kicked in the rear from the players that have tons of baby farm that they only use to transfer themselves items, ballooning the umbers of "active" players...

    The individual tasks weren't that expensive to do, at least for long time players. In the worst case scenario, we'll only get 2 Piccolo Boxes but probably more.... I'm clinging to that idea with all my strengh!

    I started doing the event on one of my baby farms yesterday and will start the other one today - they will hardly touch the amount needed but just maybe it will be enough with everyone else hopefully finishing the event over the next day or so. Fingers crossed! :p
    Beats paying for resets on this farm! :music:

    Game offered us Happy workshop day (couple of days) during this event, when all workshops (even 48h workshops) take 9h without water and boosts, with them much shorter. I had them on both fields. We also had Happy workshop day when event FAQ was released in previous day. I left all my long workshops out unharvested that evening, just replaced some shorter ones with menageries. I usually have workshops on fields only on those happy workshops days using slots to give me many extra products, like +100% of products and sometimes even diamond slot +100/+200 on everything, while I do not have any plants in those times.

    I have only be doing the mini-games so far on my baby farms but if we should get close on the final day, I will start throwing the items required on the "non-growing/raising" side. I do feel the percentages are getting there, it would be nice if they went a bit faster!:music:

    You say that ! :) 100% drop-rate 48h, easy as... but CLOSE this is - but seems to be 98-96% that is possible = SAD !

    Very sad to players that had done 100%...

    BUT: every player that have CAC and "some luck, even +1/6h in Wheel" --> can do that 15000 plants easily and 11% missing that category, to get to we all 4 Piccolos...

    ME: under 48h without any Jack o Gifts, my IRGF under 24h with 2x JoG and+100% 24h from Party Spins... AND there is still 54hours left !

    I have long completed 6 of the tasks and all the mini-games ... still need a lot of maracas for the workshop task.
    I am not dumping workshop produce as I doubt I will get enough maracas in time.

    I hope to get something from playing this ... and hope that we can get back to normal events that don't repeat for such a long time :)

    With 52 hours remaining, the area with the lowest progress is the breeding. We've reached 86% complete.

    With each section requiring 1,500,000.000 points x .14 = 210,000,000 points still needed to reach the community goal.

    I don't know how many farms are left globally that are still working on the active tasks and mini games, nor how many players are willing/able to reset the mini game for 60 BB, but while I was confident in the beginning, it is beginning to look to me that we will fall short of meeting the community goal. That feeling is based on I would assume that players have worked hard since the start of the event and taken advantage of the mini events like Baby Boom, Happy Discount Day and Happy Workshop Day.

    If you are still working and close to finishing, I'm rooting you on! Again, my offer still stands....if you need a buff to help speed things up a bit, please send an IGM :)

    I enjoyed this event a lot and now just waiting for the final results. Best wishes my farming friends :)

    I just harvested the last of my mystery stables that will get me over the top for needed sombreros, and should finish the required 60 mini games each today. :) I'm still working on maracas, but foresee no reason I shouldn't reach that requirement either. My strategy was to grow the event crop on the mainland until I had it all (CAC & water/manure only, no love on wheel for increased harvests), while having a half and half array of stables and workshops on the meadow. Once I finished the crops, I started putting out saved mystery stables, 35 per harvest (I save them for just such an occasion ;) ), which garnered me an average of 33 sombreros and 2 maracas per harvest, 100% returns in under 4 hours. :music: I switched the meadow to all workshops, and fed them PF, and get reasonable returns of 25-28 maracas each harvest. Leftover space has 1x1 fields growing longish-crops, which combined with fringe trees I never remove to give a few extra coins in case I run short. The only part I don't have a strategy for is the breeding - it doesn't seem right for an event that REQUIRES breeding to only have 2 short 12 hour BB days, neither of which I was able to participate in. :( Right now my plan is to finish the games portion and the other drops, and hope they will give us one more BB day tomorrow or Wednesday, which I will be able to take part in. Otherwise I will be forced to breed without, which doesn't seem fair. I have plenty of PF, I mill it constantly and started with over 4000, but still...if you're going to require breeding, a weekend long BB doesn't seem out of line. -.-

    I have 2 baby farms which I haven't touched in years, not even to send myself drops. I barely had time to work this farm, much less another, so they still sat idle this event. I would GLADLY delete them so they don't affect global events, but to my knowledge BP has never allowed us to do this, I asked many, many moons ago and was told it was not possible. If anyone knows differently, please, let me know.

    spotsbox - I don't think you CAN delete them! I would LOVE to delete my unused farms (the ones I started in the hopes of getting a farm on #9 or #13)...but, alas, I can't figure out a way to get rid of them - still on the servers. Unplayed since they were opened.

    I'm still working on this event - on this farm, DB's, SL's, and two baby farms. By that, I mean spending BBs to do the mini-game over and over again...Long been done on all 4 sections on this farm and SL's. DB's almost has enough crops - should be able to donate with the next harvest and the baby farms are not going to get the workshop section done unless I spend a whole lotta BBs.
