Imagine a neighbour wrote to you and asked you to stop helping them because you don't pay attention to their requested help format. They've never helped you. Probably can't even reach you if you're gauging their city size correctly.
Would you put in the extra effort to get it right for that one city that isn't returning your help? Would you actually try to remember not to help them? Do you respond at all, or just shake your head and move on?
Although I'd probably do the same if I ever actually had someone do this, for some reason the note conjured up in my imagination, which I'd probably never send, makes me feel better, lol.In my dealings with online folk, I try to remember that I have no clue what's going on in their lives. They may be dealing with depression or anxiety, they may have just been in a car wreck or had no sleep for a week with a sick baby, they may have autism or dementia. Some people are just mean, of course, but in that case, I figure it's even more important that I respond kindly and not in kind. In this instance, I'd probably just send something short back, like: "I'm sorry my neighbourly help has been a frustration to you. I do try to pay attention to people's stated requests but I misclick occasionally, especially when I'm in a hurry. I'll make sure to avoid giving you help in future, if that's what you wish. Hope you enjoy the game!"
If I got to close discussions, some people would already have left in a huff.(guess i better be careful unless ashrem closes this discussion, too, cause it doesn't fit his opinion)
D'oh! all this time I just thought you were red.I am a Tomatoe. And i'd visit nine times a week if i could
I get probably 75 of the ones who I'm returning help to right. usually because it's past the time I want to be in bed and I'm just trying to be a good neighbor. As I said in the original post, the person in question has never helped me. If I help them, it's becuase I'm going through my complete list of 300 people. I'm sorry if me putting coins in their Main Hall somehow didn't help their "strategy" but there is no way it hurt it.I fail to see the problem. I try to grant the request of the person I am visiting. Many players have a strategy the are using, Courtesy is contagious
Since my default is Main Hall, that's not the case. There are no quests to not get coins.first guess is he is trying to complete a quest. some ask for the culture to drop. cause me some issues way back
Or potentially no increase at all if they already have 20 other main hall contributors within that time period.I pick main hall deliberately because I'm almost always helping late in the evening, which means small cities are probably not going to get any culture benefits for more than a few hours in the morning. I can think of no way that anyone gets hurt by having more coins in the main hall. At worst, they are a waste. A free waste.
First off, @Ashrem didn't close the thread, I did, and it wasn't about an opinion it was about the direction the thread was going. Not because someone asked for it to be closed.(guess i better be careful unless ashrem closes this discussion, too, cause it doesn't fit his opinion)
It's also certainly against the spirit of Forum rule #4Second, as noted, your posting in all bold does come across as "angry," just as all bold equates to "yelling." Just food for thought.
4. Style of communication (no CAPS!)
Please reread your posts before submitting to avoid mistakes. Do not write all in CAPS and form complete sentences. Your text might be read by hundreds of players so make sure it is understandable."
I generally send them the names of their kids, their home address and a picture of his kids at school and ask again.

Then just don't read them. If you are annoyed, the rest of us don't need to know that.It's also certainly against the spirit of Forum rule #4

I find it contributes to the warm feeling of community knowing everyone agrees that both the content and the format of your opinions are abrasive and annoying.If you are annoyed, the rest of us don't need to know that.
It happened to a me.@Ashrem , question … you said “Imagine someone sending …”
Did this really happen to you or were you just thinking what if it did ?
I currently have 329 on 37 pages. Perhaps you're neighbours went up at the same time your fellowship went down?Just curious, is 300 neighbours the maximum that will show in the list? I continue to add provinces but the page count of neighbours (36 pages including the fellowship) does not seem to increase.
