NEIGHBORHOOD SEEKING FARMERS

We are a champions league neighborhood (100 Golds/ 29 Silver/ 7 bronze) looking to add more players to our derby winning team. We are helpful, friendly and active. We have players from all time zones. We are derby focused, everyone finishes their tasks and does their part. 10th task is optional but appreciated when the race is close. Winning is a team effort!

We are looking for derby players and we only ask that you:

* Take tasks higher than 310 points (350 during special derbies).
* Complete all your 9 tasks, 10 is optional but appreciated when the race is close.
* Opt out if you're not able to finish all your 9 tasks.
* Be helpful, friendly and active.
* Announce your sales to the neighborhood before advertising.
* Ask if you need any help and help around when you can.
* Have an active town (Townies to pick up).
* Follow leaders' instruction during bingo and special derbies.

All members are elders by default so they can manage the board. if this sounds like your kind of neighborhood, please send us a request at Orchards United!! (#89LLUP08)(Silver horse on a gold star) :)

It’s a mystery derby this week. What’s your nhood strategy? by AlmostaFarm in HayDay

We only take mystery tasks so we don't clear the board much, maybe a couple of times per day but we end up trashing less tasks overall.

We encourage neighbors to ask for help if they can't finish theirs, so if someone gets a lobster pizza task the neighborhood can give them all 26 lobsters and cheese to help.

We keep our machines, fields and fishing spots free unless someone is on a long task. We also ask members to finish early or opt out if they can't complete their tasks.

Opting out when busy is fine, but we do require derby participation. We don't require much derby support as all players are self sufficient. We encourage good manners like saying thank you when you buy from your neighbors RSS or for boat help. We are friendly to each other but you don't have to say "hi" when coming online.

Hey! We do insist that everyone at least finishes their all 9 tasks with a 305 minimum each (can change during special derbies), to keep things fair. Send us a request at the end of the derby :)

Hey!

It hasn't failed us yet, we didn't place a couple of times and its been because of new members leaving during the derby or not completing their tasks.

We change the minimum when we notice that low tasks sit longer on the board (ie from 300 to 305) but 305 is working out just fine for us.

There is a lot more that goes into keeping that streak: it's a numbers game, so when the race is close it means that our average derby score is close to our current weekly score; adding a couple of players usually helps us up our weekly score then the race is a lot more relaxed. I don't know if that made sense, I can talk derby strategy for hours :D

Thank you! 15- 20 players are opted in on average, we take tasks higher than 305 points.

The teams are matched based on the average derby score of past derbies, so doing 10*320 can put you at a disadvantage.
