First, I'll say there are two problems inherent with these message boards: (1) it's impossible to read through the hundreds of posts on any given thread to see if there is already something posted that's relevant to what you have to say, and (2) only a handful of people are likely to ever see your post anyway due to the aforementioned reason.
That said, I'll post this anyway. Here are some rules of etiquette (as we civilized human beings see them) when playing Farm Town:
First, if you're going to hire people to work in your facilities, it makes sense to make sure that they are condensed onto as few farms as possible so that your workers don't have to jump around to a bunch of different farms (and thus have to wait for each one to load, which can take a while). I can tell you I own every facility that's currently available, and even have multiples of some, and I have them all on four farms, and all my service facilities on one farm.
When looking for work in the marketplace: be polite and friendly, and DON'T BEG! I HATE it when people fill up the screen with things like "hire meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" or "plllllllllllzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" or some equally stupid thing! Remember those niceties your mama tried to teach you growing up - those things called "manners"? Well, USE THEM! Say please and thank you, and have the courtesty to speak to the people who hire you (or whom YOU hire). You don't have to be buddies or anything, but this IS a social game, after all. If you come to my farm to work, I will always speak to you, and frankly I am offended if you don't reply.
On that same note, if you are hired to do a job, LOOK to see if you are hired for multiple farms! The developers have made it VERY easy to tell which farms have the work you agreed to do, so don't just do one farm and then leave! And, if you accept a job, FINISH IT - don't just do the parts you want and then leave!
I'm very sure there are a great many people who will agree with these suggestions!
