Champions League!!!

1/10/2016

0 Comments

 
So finally we made it up into the big time.....Champions League!! 9 free tasks, and some confusing rules, but we gave it a red hot go with 11 FAFFsters opting in to play the Derby this week, bringing home a final points total of 27011......average per player of 2455.5, which is pretty awesome. However we finished in 13th place, dropping us back to the lower league for next week........but.......it was a very tight competition, with not a lot separating the 15 competing neighbourhoods.

The winning neighbourhood, as a comparison, has 16 members, with also 11 opted in to play the derby this week. They have won 2 gold, 2 silver and 3 bronze trophies, very similar to FAFF.. Their level range is from 62 to 129, so a little bit ahead of us, but it seems a pretty fair matchup........we've had worse. Their final points total was 35036, not that far ahead of us, with an average per player of 3185.

I think this proves that we can be competitive in the Champions League, and that we potentially could win a trophy there. We just need to get back up there!

So.....congratulations to everyone.........whether you play the derby, or opt out and help others, it's a team effort and we all contribute. And this week, let's go for it!!!!

And don't forget you can opt out if this is not going to be a great week for you.....just do it before the next one starts.

Have you checked out West's farm lately?    It truly is amazing.....he's used a HUGE part of the farm to build a HEDGE MAZE with a gorgeous butterfly in the middle.  Find the gnome to start your trip along the maze, and if you make it through, there's a prize at the end!!!  Super cute West!!!!

Here's a peek at the maze, but go and check it out for yourself.

It seems that West is catering for the booming tourism industry and converting former agricultural land into tourist attractions - IWe hope he's charging entry fees............Whatever will it be next?

December Catchup - it's a Festive FAFF

12/20/2015

It's been a few weeks since the last news posted here.....doesn't mean there is no news, just a slack Leader!!!

So, what's been happening.......?

Mumsie's frogs have finally found a way out....very sad to see them go!!!

And Christmas is in the air with a whole host of jazzy decorations to rob us of our diamonds :)    But I see that most of the FAFFsters have made their farms look either festive or frosty in keeping with the season in the northern hemisphere........those of us in Australia and Indonesia are enjoying a landscape we never see at home!!!

Have you collected a few gifts from Hayday over in the fishing area?   Remember the ghost that occasionally appeared during Halloween?  Well there are now nice red and gold wrapped packages with bonus goodies appearing randomly - so get fishing!!!

And finally it seems to be exams time for our neighbourhood members who are studying - so some of them are currently opted out of the Derby to give them time to concentrate on their studies.  We wish them all the very best for easy exam questions and great results!!!

Wow - less than  week to Christmas!!!!   Are you on French's Naughty List?

Another amazing finish!!!!

11/25/2015

Well that was an amazing finish to this week's Derby......with just 10 minutes to go......we were in 4th place, but not far away from 3rd........so Frenchie did a quick mining task, and Pitchfork Fields did a helping task in about 30 seconds flat.....LOL

Result:   3rd place!!!!!!

We hope you're enjoying all the extra prizes.

Overall winner this week was West with a terrific 2460 points from 8 tasks....that's an average of 307 per task.......great going West!

Remember please to assess your coming week - if its going to be busy and you don't feel confident of achieving your minimum of 5 tasks completed for at least 250 points each (that's 1250 points contributed to the team total), then please please please opt out of the derby!   It makes it easier for the rest of us so we don't have to take extra tasks at a cost of diamonds.

And now to tackle Expert League once again......good luck everyone!

A second place????????? Awesome!!!!! Hope you loved the prizes we got........we certainly earned it this week.......so many faffsters did 7 tasks!!

Now for the good news and the bad news.......

Roo took out the top spot this week, overtaking Kitchen in a bold last minute move!!!!! And he did it with a record score of 2558 points.........unbelievable!!!!! That's just 2 off a perfect score for 8 tasks. But there's room to improve :)

Bad news? Next week we will be in the Expert League......OMG......8 free tasks!!!! Maybe that's good news to some of us. Who's up for it????

Have you seen the nice collection of frogs on Mumsie's farm???? They look so happy hopping around, munching on the raspberries......
But just like Frickle's foxes, I can't count them. Who has the most?

We're not sure what his new name means, but West took out this week's Derby with a record 2493 points!!!   Its getting very difficult to get your name on the Honours Board.......Frenchie thought she had it sewn up this week, but sneaky West stole it from her at the last moment........we think it will be Game On next week!!!

Congratulations to everyone who took place in the Derby, we finished a very good 6th place again........that's just where we want to be.   Unless of course we're all completely crazy and want to get into the Expert League.........do we?   Are we that crazy?   8 free tasks??????

Welcome Mumsie.......

By now, you've probably had a chance to say hello to our newest member, Mumsie Banannie, who joined us a week ago, and has fitted right in with our special mix of chat, helping each other, and just chilling out.  Mumsie is in Austin, Texas, and she loves fishing, the town, and playing the Derby.

Mumsie will be in the new Derby starting later today, so please make sure she has any help she needs, and I'm sure she will be a great addition to the team!!

How are your Achievements going?

11/3/2015

Hi FAFFsters......Frenchie here.

Maybe you don't take any notice of the Achievements, but some of us do.......and are challenging ourselves to get them all done, and find out what happens then........is there a reward for finishing all of them? (there should be!)   Will Hayday add in some new ones?  Will it just be a huge sigh of relief and a let down when all 126 achievements are completed?

Want to see yours?  Click on your white farmhouse.........and read here

So to give you an idea of how I'm going with mine, to date I have completed 120 out of the 126 achievements.  The remaining 6 will take a while to finish, because some of them are pretty tough.......but I will get there!!!!   Here are my remaining 6, and where I'm up to.....it might explain some of my playing behaviour at times :)


​
GOLD MINER III     I'm a bit at the mercy of Hayday here......I mine constantly, and usually do at least 2 Mining tasks each Derby, but I have no control over what type of ore I get......
Picture
HELTER SMELTER III  My mines are all constantly fired up, so its just a matter of keeping them stoked....
Picture
BOAT SCORE HUNTER III   WOW this one is a stinker!!!   I find the Riverboats tough to do now that we have 7 derby tasks to complete each week, so I've been avoiding them, but it looks like I will have to try to do more.   I reckon this achievement will take me another 6 months to complete.........it will be the last one done!
Picture
BIG GAME FISHER III  As you can see, I'm pretty close to finishing this one - just another 162 lbs of fish to catch.  I'm hoping for a new Fishing Event, because the huge fish are around then......
Picture
DUCK COIFFEUR III  Almost half-way there.......those willy ducks will be preening themselves in my salon for a while yet to get this one done.  Even with 2 sittings of ducks a day in the salon, this one is going to take me another 6 weeks to get finished.   Quack!
Picture
TASKMASTER III  This might explain why I usually do 8 tasks a week, so long as I have the diamonds to spend on the extra one.  At that rate it will be another 8 weeks to finish this achievement.

Where did all the maps go?

Remember when the Daily Dirt was flooded with people selling Map Pieces? Then Hayday adjusted the drop rate and they disappeared completely? Ask West about that........

Well it looks like Bricks and Paint Buckets are the new Maps.....
