Farmer's Market!!!

[geekz_always_win]

What did the T50 ever do to cause them to have to give massive farms back to you? Nothing. WE should be giving them a reward, not us. It should be like, if you are a known person who always puts farms up you should get a special forum icon. I have no idea why this idea even got started, T50 owes you guys nothing, you owe them.

I would like to state the fact that I never implied that this would become a requirement. Please take a look at the quote below.

Just an FYI folks, for this to work it would require quite a few T50 members to sign up and time it just so. Something like that is hard to do and my guess is it would be something that lasts an hour or so and only once a month. But before any planning goes into it, best to get at least 15+ T50 members to speak up on this thread.

I think what kuross said right here explains my point very well, but to elaborate: This event won't even happen unless, as kuross said, at least 15+ T50 members speak up on this thread. The other important thing to remember is that IF this event does become a reality, any T50 who signs up is doing it out of their own will. When War started, were we forced to submit an application to the auction? No. When a competition starts, are we forced to submit something? No. My point being: yes, we do owe all those in T50 for setting up farms and helping us to advance further in this game. Yes, they do not owe us anything. But if this was all there is to it, there wouldn't be any farms at all in the first place! Why? Because the T50 sets up farms of their own will.

I'm basically a farm 90% of the time, so have fun either way!

Remember whe 10 men submitted ten times and he put up a farm? That week's grinding was epic

Good times... Good times...

I stopped putting up farms for the duration of the war, just so I didn't have to worry about folks running into my war decks.  Other than that, I am almost always a farm when I am not playing.

I think that this is a great idea. Like others have already suggested, it should last only one hour. Top-50 players are hardcore gamers who probably wouldn't want to stop playing for longer than that. On top of that, you need to arrange some activity to them during this one hour (because they cannot play Elements). For example, it could be something that happens on the forums, or maybe in chat, or maybe you just ask them to go outside for an hour

It would probably be a good idea to come up with a fixed time for this. Good option would be 1 hour before, or after the weekly tournament.

I like this. We should have them do something during that hour, I agree. Perhaps a T50-exclusive Mini-competition or something. Quite recently ICB hosted a mini-war (unofficial) that was rather short actually, we should have something like that, but in competition form, like build a card to fit these guidelines, or go in trainer and get a screenie of.... Or just have them play outside for an hour like you suggested.

One problem that I see though is that the top 50 come from all over the world, so the timezones are all mixed up.

Also, if we were to do this, people wouldn't complain if the farms put up were biters would they?

[Kuross]

Why not have a little "biting farm" tournament for the top50 peeps?

This is resolved by it being right after the weekly tourney since everyone who participates in those already sorts out the timezone stuff beforehand.

This is a wonderful idea for the "keep T50 busy" competition ^_^

Having it before the tournament might actually be better because that's when there's most activity on the forums and in chat, as players come to lurk and wait for the tournament to start.

Then again they might do the tournament, put up a farm, and go out. Who knows.

[10 men]

Go out, U crazy?

I'd totally be kept busy grinding with one of my alts and getting a piece of the action myself.
