[I'm more than willing to explain how to someone who doesn't know.] Well, no response! So it move to the part of the field where he was working thinking perhaps he was in full screen & couldn't read the chat. I figured if I was standing right next to him, he would see the speech balloon and respond. Well, he remained mute but finally harvested the fields in question.

Here's the kicker. When he finished, he just STOOD there. Hadn't "said" a word to me the whole time. No "Thank you" when I hired him. No "May I please plow?" when he finished. Not one single word!! So I went to my Buddy List, found someone who was on-line and hired them. The guy finally left, but if I ever see him (I will recognize his name) I will send him a private chat on why I'm ignoring him, and then hit the Ignore button.

That's one time I really would have loved to have a "Fire" button!!! My Buddy who did the plowing said if you quit FT and sign out of Facebook, the person working your farm will be gone -- kicked off -- when you come back. I haven't tried it yet, but the next time I get someone non-responsive or overly familiar, I'm going to.

First of all avatar names are not unique in this game so if you see someone with that name it may or may not be the same person you hired. As for chatting you are right he could of had the game if full screen mode but you standing next to his avatar doesn't mean he will see the chat balloon since there is queuing in the game his avatar may be in one spot and but screen in another spot on the field. As for him not saying think you he could have click on all the fields and then got called away by the phone, a kid, bathroom break, and just left the game open while he did that. He could have been rude by not saying think you but he may have just been called away or maybe he doesn't speak English. I think that wanting to fire someone who sounds like did a good job, but just didn't speak to you is one of the main reason we do not need a fire button. In my opinion that is not a good enough reason to fire someone.

Second as for leaving facebook causing someone to be kicked off your farm in a since firing them your friend is wrong that doesn't work you can log out of facebook, even turn the computer off and the person will still be on your farm and can do what every you hired them to do. There is no way to stop them from doing that.
