Farmville - Tips: Zynga Toolbar

I just used the Zynga toolbar to access Farmville and guess what?

They launched Farmville FROM their own website, bypassing Facebook! Goot!

 

Then when I click on the Game Feed "Click here to see what your friends are doing on FarmVille!" it got me this screen: Requesting permission to post to my Facebook Wall.

 

Well, I ain't giving it! This is getting me OUT of Facebook. It is NOT a Facebook game anymore! Why does this NOT happen with MafiaWar?

*Lynspirations
Are the game applications leaving Facebook already?

Farmville - Awards (Cunning Collector)

This is an update to the Farmville Awards available in Farmville (Facebook game application).

There is a new ribbon in Farmville - Cunning Collector.

I suppose this is to attract more people to complete their collections.

And these are the complete set of ribbons (updated version).

Hear the Farmville music, tell me if it is chirpy?

Fishville - Tips: Superfood

This is abit annoying, the latest feature of Fishville - Superfood.

It is no longer convenient to feed the fishes with one click!

 

The next screen shows a white arrow (Farmville arrow ;p) pointing to the existing Food/Feed icon.

  

There are now 3 types of food you can feed.

  

The first type is the Caffeine Feed.

  

The first type is the SuperGrow Feed.

  

I clicked on the SuperGrowth and fed my Angel fish. Got this notification.

  

Then of course, as a good neighbour, I always publish all bonuses for you guys.

  

 Look! After selling my green Scooter Blenny, I dropped an Annularis Angelfish egg (from SJ's gifting). It became a 10.1% immediately!

  

But I still am not wowed by the new feed. Because it is no longer easy.

Farmville - Tips: Message Board

There is an interesting feature in Farmville, which is unique - the message board.

This is how it looks like.

Now going to show you the steps of how to create the message board. First you click on the Message Board icon that is at the top of your Farmville screen (after you have logged into Facebook).

You will see a signage as your mouse icon. You will need to place this signage at the spot where you want it to be noticed.

If you have maximized your screen display, you will get a notification to ask you to exit the full screen mode. Otherwise you will not see this message.

You will be asked to enter a message.

Do just that! ;p

Once done, you will receive a notification that you have successfully posted a note.

Click on the signage and then click on 'View Message'.

You will see your message! This works on anyone's farm (yours or a friend's).

Hope this helps!

Today's Dog Walk

Here are my darlings again.

After about 1km's walk.

This is my Darling No 3.

Notice she is still as energetic as ever!

 

Oh here she is, with a Candid Camera look.

 

And here she is again,  distracted...

 

The reason why I am taking so many pix of her, is....

Have you noticed something on her beard? ;p

My flower girl licks me up everyday, now I know she always has a flower in her beard!

Farmville - Super Pumpkins (Notification)

Farmville has just posted a notice:

Some of our farmers may not be able to access Super Pumpkins even though they are Fans. We are working to resolve this issue and will extend the Super Pumpkin offer to compensate for the lost time. Happy farming!

Don't worry if you are affected.

*Lynspirations
Be happy, live life!

Farmville - Super Pumpkins

My friend SJ asked me to post these pictures of her Farmville farm.\

We both had a good laugh because these pumpkins are HUGE!

This picture shows my farmer in her farm before it ripes. The pumpkin is already bigger than the size of my farmer's head!

 This picture shows my farmer standing on the pumpkin when she arrived at SJ's farm.

 

Now it getes better. When my farmer starts to move, she is completely hidden! Her body is lost and I was thinking, if the tractor comes, she'll be overrun by it!
