I admit, I ignore the daily quests in The Commons if they require dedicated whacks, e.g. Dooty Duty, Ultrasound Jelly, and Bush Seed Packets. If Bush Seed Packets, occasionally, awarded usable seeds for our ranch plots, I'd start completing this daily quests again. Thanks for the insight on how you do your daily quests. What kind of seeds would you like to see in these packets for daily quests?

I have three teleporters in The Commons, but never remember which goes where. Possibly a color code, sign post, highlight the set value on the control panel? I appreciate all the ideas! Something like this has been suggested before, and I absolutely agree it would be great to see where the teleporter is set to at a glance. It's on the suggestions list!

When your inventory of runes is full, it would be nice not to get large runes of the gambler on the bush buck bonanza machine on amicus, and the small runes of the gambler on the island luck machine. Would this be possible?

Has it been released yet? And if it has, where can I purchase it? It's not among my ranch skins, and the contractor vendor on AI doesn't have it. From the CNE Blog: - Haunted Ranch Style now changes the music to the Haunted Forest theme - Haunted Ranch Style now makes the ranch dark! - Candle, Lamp, and other Light doodads now generate light in dark ranch styles, like the Haunted Ranch Style Note: You answered the following question on last weeks live stream, but I left it for players who didn't hear your answer. 2) Instead of replacing the Patriots event with the Sports event this year, would you be willing to put it on as a mini event like you did for the Easter event? It's always been a fun one. 1) The Haunted Ranch Style was available in a premium package deal last October, along with the rainbow corn maze ranch items. I'll consider adding it to the Amicus merchant along with the others! 2) It's still a fair bit of work to convert an event into a mini-event, so I'll have to see what the demands are like come that time of year. I wouldn't count on a sports mini event, but we'll see.

(of course i want you to visit and show my ranch, but didn't want to "show-off"). ask the community to recommend. 3)i agree that Flybaby should get a compensation for the very good and important work she does with the wiki. i guess such a work takes long hours. days and weekends. i don't mean to be rude, but a gnome or even an NPC on her name is not enough. she should get a pay check, or CNE can give her a gift card or something like that. a real payment. she also help in chat, clarify things and answer questions. like a community manager. i think she deserves an appreciation. that's my feedback and thoughts. not mean to be rude :) 1) Thanks for the feedback on the Ranch Tour segment on the stream! I'll take it into consideration for future tours. 2) Keep in mind that there will be future Ranch Tours to feature the remaining volunteers. As such, I wanted to make sure each featured ranch got a fair amount of attention during the tour! 3) Thank you for your feedback on compensation for Flybaby. I'll consider it.

Most of the puzzle games let you sort like pieces. But if I sort, after getting new pieces they are always scattered. Thanks! With the way the puzzles are implemented, you're better off waiting to sort them until you have all the pieces and are ready to solve it. Any puzzle pieces not placed into the puzzle don't have their position remembered between sessions.

Also, could you request Curved Palm Trees from Georgia, please? The standard and Tall ones are very nice, too, but a few of us would also like curved ones for our ranch/islands.

I appreciate the feedback. For now, I'm settled on keeping the Deviled Eggs quest as a recurring Easter/Mini-Easter quest.

MY instincts are running amuck here..I won't say it here... Georgia is fine. She has simply stepped back from streaming, instead co-hosting one stream a month instead of all four.

This sounds like the Creature Collector's unowned pets/mounts store, aka the Ye Olde Creature Collector's Galleria. In this store you'll be able to buy up to 3 pets or mounts you have never owned before. Is that what you had in mind?

Also need to consider how long it takes to grow the plant I'm all for adding more ways to sort the crops in the Plant Splicer!

How about if you have the VIP Leveller's Boon active that the fish add to your energy. This is a fair improvement for the Leveller's Boon. I'll note it down to consider.

I'll note it down!

It gives me a warm feeling, and it makes me feel that my time spent is so worthwhile. Over the years, I have volunteered my time as BW2 Wiki Administrator because of my love of BW2, and most importantly because of the love I have for the wonderful BW2 friends that I've met over the course of (almost) 10 years. So, as much as I feel honored by your suggestions of compensation, I really don't need anything.... just your continued friendship and support. Hugs to all. Flybaby You've done a great job with the wiki and have been a fantastic community member, Flybaby!

I never see ads on fandom.wiki's (or indeed anywhere else). And to add to what others have said, we do very much appreciate your work Flybaby. I personally would like a mount or companion named after you, maybe that awards double mana because you always offer more than expected and are there when we need it to help us keep going. Or perhaps an NPC like they did back in the Seasonal forests. Actually here's an idea. Have a new building in the Commons. A library and the the Librarian is Flybaby, the guardian of knowledge and someone who eagerly shares it with anyone who asks, who engenders a lifelong fascination with learning and encourages everyone to be the best of themselves. An NPC tribute certainly seems appropriate! I'll consider one for a future update.

The sets are useful, so I could consider squeezing in some more... 2) An egg pet per event is an interesting idea. Would have consult with Georgia on the art demand for that, but we'll consider it. 3) A gnome or pet is also a neat idea for a tribute.

Also..Flybaby should pick her compensation for wiki works, Nick,, give her some to chooose from ..okay

Right now they are a huddled mass and I cant tell which ones Nick or Erika or Justin or any of the others. (Georgia's not hard she wears a distinctive hat)-- we need to label them and put names on them Would that be possible? HKE It is pretty hard to tell the 32 Developer Gnomes apart. A tooltip would help with that, certainly.

I think ruffle might have evolved enough to make this possible... :) Or if it can't run (yet) in ruffle, how about compiling it with AIR into an executable as you did with BW2? Although BW2 is more than BW1, it did have a certain "charm". About the open air plays (in BW2 ;): is there any chance new ones will be added? Bush Whacker Classic and our other legacy games have our own technology that many of the Flash browser solutions don't support, unfortunately. Adding an Adobe AIR launcher like BW2 and Crusaders have is still a lot of developer time that we don't have the resources for at the moment, either. It would be great to play it again, though.
