I hate harvesting, so it's really nice to be able to hire people to do the harvesting for me. Initially I just hired whoever was in the marketplace asking for work, but it's amazing how many Farm Town players there are that are simply... crappy harvesters.I've hired people who randomly harvested plots all over the entire farm, leaving the place looking like a mess which someone else would have to clean up. You would think someone who needed the money would harvest everything he or she could, but some just don't. I think these types are the Type Zs. You know, the opposite of Type A. I didn't think people like this exist, but they do.
Since then I try to only hire people who speak in complete or semi-complete sentences, not using words like "plz" or "u" & who capitalize the word "I" when used to reference themselves. Oh, & who can spell simple words like "work" & "hire." If they can at least meet those criteria I think chances are they might not be total failures when it comes to harvesting.
You'd be amazed how rare it is to find Farm Town players like this. It seems I'm playing a game populated primarily by Special Ed Americans or Chinese kids.
Today I hired 2 people to harvest my farm of Carrots & Chili Peppers, & when one of them asked about plowing, I explained about the pathing bug. In retrospect, I can see how it was taken as condescension, but frankly I was just sharing information. Normally I just tell people, "Sorry, I like to plow in a certain order" but frankly if it was me I'd like to know what that order was.
I don't consider myself a Type A. I think I'm a Type B with OCD. I mean, look at my farm. Obviously I have methods I like to stick to.
Anyway, some people won't take anything at its face value; they'll interpret interactions in their own special way. Theresa apparently took offense at all the info I was throwing at her I guess in her mind it was just rejection: "No, you can't plow my farm because you're not good enough." People will take things whatever way they want to take them. Not my problem. =)
