Discussions about Hiring and Hiring Practices

[JoeyBee]

Hi, you may remember me from a couple of pages back as the guy who hired the rude psycho.

Well, here is another winner: Last night I hired some people to harvest on my farms, and left, as I usually do. When I came back online later, one of them had left me a PM, as sometimes happens. I always reply to PM's unless they say something like 'plow', because if someone can't even be bothered to form a sentence, I can't be bothered to reply. Otherwise, if someone leaves me a message, I feel it polite to send them one in return.

This person thanked me for the hire and asked how old I was. Now, questions as to my age, religion, or political affiliation always bother me a bit because it bears no relevance in a game. Nonetheless, I replied with 'You are welcome (PERSONS NAME), I am 40'.

Today, logging in, they sent me a reply reading "leave me alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".

Sigh.

So basically, what I have learned this week is you cannot:
1. Hire people, because they will go mental on you.
2. Reply to PM's, because if you do, they will go mental on you.
3. Probably play this game, because it will slowly make you mental.

Thank you for letting me vent again!
