[Farmer_Susan]

I'm agreeing with not liking the way the ships advance. Even though I didn't know the neighbor who has my #1 spot, I saw that she was on her farm so I decided to be a sport and send her a message and ask her if she'd mind advancing my ship. Not harassing at all - I thought I phrased it really nicely - like trying to make a new friend. But that was a couple of hours ago - she's no longer on her farm - and my ship was untouched. It feels doubly bad to have called her attention to it and have my message ignored. However, in her defense, I don't know her so I'm sure she doesn't know me so maybe it felt bad to her to have gotten a message from someone she doesn't even know. Maybe she's not a Forum junkie like I am so she may not have any idea that we even HAVE ships. I'm afraid I'm agreeing with the others - the process needs tweaking or I think there will be more hard feelings than good.
