@rocky
We are already neighbors - I hope we haven't become disconnected.

I can attest to the fact that Rocky has 6 planetariums (planetaria??), and I visit them daily. They are VERY PRETTY!!! Not to mention very generous, especially with golden dice!

I wasn't accepting any more neighbours - but 6 Planetariums - How could I refuse - the only downside is that I can only visit 5 at a time LOL
I do have a lot of people who I exchange gifts with and at the moment I am struggling to return them all so for now would rather not get into "regular" gifting but of course if there is some specific building item which I have, and you need, then please drop me a message and I will send it. I do fairly regular Red space flights though low on resources at the moment (your planetariums should help!) so I am tending to tag along with others rather than launch my own. Had an amazing run of flights where QL's jumped on board so I put in more resources so they could finish quickly - paid off though I had three first places in 24 hours! I am off to raid you right now!!

Send you a bath towel, do you need more?

Hi, late day at work yesterday so missed a gift window! Sent you a beacon. I'd appreciate flight catering if you can spare please. Thanks

@gorrion Morning, missed a gifting window... late day at work! Sent you wome wire, Can you spare the grinding machine please? There's more to keeping on top of this forum than meets the eye! Checking what you need and what folk have needs a bit of organisation otherwise you are up and down the lists. Anyone have any tips. Thinking I need a notebook next to me!

 

[ucaptain lole]

Bugger, just sent out two gifts and laptop selected at random..... so probably not from your list. Sorry! I think one person was @Robert. I think I need sleep!

You are right - everyone has their own method - I keep a spreadsheet of my neighbours (I have 166 which is far to many, and am going to remove those who don't gift, visit, launch, have planetariums and are not art of this forum) but basically use a notebook to list who is waiting for gifts. Every morning, I gift the top 20, and add new ones on.

I play daily, and gift my full 20 daily, but unlike my colleagues, having more than one game would be too much for me. This means I receive more gifts a day than I can send out. If a neighbour sends me a gift I will return it, but it may take a day or 2. I prioritise forum members as well. If I get a second one in the meantime, from the same or another game, it is greatly appreciated, but once I have returned a gift to you, I see that as being back up to date. Therefore I only add a play to my waiting list if they are not already on it!

Does this help?

@Comet18 - my thanks for the last Podium

This morning I spent 950,000 coins and begun the upgrading process - Town Hall to L8 - I now have 6 days to wait, this is fine with me. There are other gaming matters to deal with while I'm waiting.

For me it is very useful to include all my Forum's neighbors on Your Profile Page - People You Follow, that way it is easier to check their signature

I was thinking a spreadsheet. I have the game loaded on my laptop, but I could do with it on my PC with two screens. Flipping from the game to forum is a bit time awkward. Can I use the same game account?

Hi Gorrion. Thats a good idea. I think I'll keep to just a few until I get the hang of this.

 

[Rzuff]

I tried sending another filter this morning. Hoping it went through. Otherwise is there something else I can send you?

I've turned on computer, and it turns out that I've received 2x grinding machines from bear so probably one was "delayed", but eventually its here now

 

[Rzuff]

I have sent invite to some new players (if you want a neighbour who has 6 planétariums and if it can help you)

Thanks. Accepted

 

[ucaptain lole]

Yesterday I cleared out all of my waiting neighbours (never done that before) so I could spot invites easily but now its full up again! I'm going to work through methodically and add to my profile as Gorrion suggests. Thanks all for the gifts this morning, but it may take a while before I return them. Just need a little while to get myself organised. I'm accepted the gifts before I realised I didn't know who sent them. Also, how do you create a gift request with a different name. The neighbour requests that say "F20" or something on them are useful....as long as I can work out who the originator is. If you have sent me a request like this, are you saying that that you permanently want Fuel 20?

THanks all

 

[gorrion]

@rocky I don't see your invite, so i have send mine

 

[andreasmrg]

Hello everybody, Gifts sent for today and thank you for the incoming.

@ucaptain lole I have sent you an invite since yesterday, pls check it.

I am actively seeking an alliance.

Happy Landings!!!

Spaceship Launches: Using Up Smaller Resource Items

The next green launch flight in this series takes place on Friday 13th May at 5.00pm GMT London time. The launch will be opened by @Wired Parrott and will remain open for 24 hours or until the fuel gauge becomes full, whichever of the two takes place first.

If your planning on taking part I would ask you to be very careful and only use the following four small resources - Small Fuel Tank (6 points), Additional Stabilalizer (12 points), Explosive Bolt (24 points) and Solid Fuel (12 points). The minimum opening resource investment is 54.

Once the flight has returned I will update and post the Flyers League Table, on Sunday 15th May. I wish all forum flyers the very best during this launch.

I will post a reminder of the flight on Thursday 12th May.

Regards
Captain WH Rollins

I have just bought my Terminal upgrade which will complete build in 4 days - The ONLY items I now need to complete this are Arch Metal Detector (2) and Parking Meter (1) - any help over the next 4 days with these is greatly appreciated

 

[Nicks]

@Nicks,
I am one of those players who usually see old names for neighbors. I got a gift from veltro_3, so yesterday sent veltro_3 a building item nix asked for. Is that a separate game; did you get the item I sent, and hope you needed it. I don't think nix is on my neighbor list. If you have two games and are playing both, what items do you want for veltro_3

Hi @Comet18 ! Yes, got your gift - thank you! Looks like that's another trick of this game... My both jets are broken so I'm in critical need of one slide ruler, 2 Power supplies and 2 Insulations to awake them...

 

[RavenENTP]
