Thanks for starting this off SahraB ... I've been scouting around trying to find out what plot sizes will give in BV!
I'm guessing (please correct me if I'm wrong!) that plot size doesn't matter.
I'm in ... and watching out for April Fool's gags along the way!

Edit: Did you notice the different time the event starts ... wonder why?

 

Is that 3.30 a.m according to Indian Time ?
Ok. I will know that tomorrow morning. After waking up, I will login and check.


Thanks SahraB!
Does the FAQ mean that we can grow less event crops and finish it merely by depositing Farm crops ?

 

Events normally start at 14h00 European time, this one will be starting at midnight so that is 14 hours ahead of normal.
But I think this may be starting early in order to catch a lot of us out somehow!

 

@illy1996 ,

1* Scribbleweed S BV value: worth 5
1* Scribbleweed L BV value: worth 53

I will use 2x2s then 2x1s and then 1x1s to reproduce enough crops. Since I will only plant the long term crop, I am thinking of using SG and SSG until I reach enough numbers for 1x1s.

Then, I aim to reach enough crops in a short time with only water and manure.

We just need to deliver the event crops.

 

Thanks SahraB. I missed out the word 'event' while reading the phrase 'BV of event crops' the FAQ.

 

Thank you @SahraB for the strategy thread.

 

You made my morning, SahraB! It's only one field. I'll do what I can...things are weird for me at the moment. I'm spending my days sewing masks.

 

Thank you SahraB, and everyone. I'm in. This one looks like fun. I don't think I will be able to finish this event, but I will give it my best.
Good Luck everyone.

 

Thanks SahraB for the Event information with numbers, Much obliged.

 

I know my maths is not my strong point but is it actually possible to do this with the shorter timed crop on one field?

Edit: Misread this - thought it said 4 hours!

 

Wonder if we will get scribbling all over our farms since we know what April 1st is and what has happened in the past !!!

 

That's a good one Banjo!

 

If you only do the short time crop you need around 52 harvests. If we just count 4 days, it's 13 harvests a day. With water the time for each harvest is a bit less than an hour. So yes, if you are at/near your computer most of the day (and maybe use a timer to not forget harvesting) it is definitely possible.

I think this choice is rather nice. In these times many are at home. Some might not have a lot to do, then they can harvest crops each hour if they want. We've had many complaints over the years from people who find long event crops boring. If you don't want to do that, or you're really busy you can go for the option with a super long crop. There could have been a third option with a medium length crop, but that's what we have most of the time anyway.

Edit: For many a mix will be a nice option. Plant the long crop overnight, then if you have time in the afternoon you can do a few rounds of the short crop.

 

This one looks to have a tight timeline and looks like it will take all 5 days to complete unless you use some SG and/or have some luck at the wheel.

 

So is this a "real event" or an April Fools joke?!

 

Might be. Some part of it, when you see the starting time ( I think it might be so. Just my personal opinion). I think you hit on something sanddollar. Now I am waiting to see what would be the joke tomorrow.

 

Thanks for supporting during this insanity!

 

Thank you SarahB for starting the thread and laying it all out for us. I will do what I can, as of late..... I've not been doing well on anything. Good luck and try to have some fun.......Enjoy!

 

Now you've got me worried Sanddollar if this is a joke. What's the punchline?
