AudreyDee said:I got most of the things I wanted, so I'm okay with the way things are. But I'd be okay with starting over, too, if that's what everybody else wants to do--as long as the reset restores our want lists. I always remove things from my list when they are claimed either by me or someone else. So having to reconstruct my want list myself would be difficult.


That's a great point. I de-rank or unrank things as I go & would have to go back in & rank them again

I wrote on another post or thread about this so I'll just restate that I'd also prefer to stay the course but am agreeable to whatever is decided.

Hey everyone, I am sorry I didn't see the conversation about the issues was going on in this chat thread last night, I was busy fielding emails and looking at other chat threads and thought I had addressed all of the comments regarding the matter.

Thank you all, again, for being so resilient and flexible. And thank you for the kind thoughts and consideration for the efforts that Dave and I are putting into this. Whenever I discuss the membership of this swap to other people in my life, I always do so with such fondness and a soft spot in my heart because you guys are truly the BEST!

It sounds like we are going to keep going with things as-is, according to all of the responses I have read and what I have seen Dave post in the other chat, also.

Just so there is no confusion or frustration, tonight the number of tickets you will get for your sold seeds will be at a different rate than last night's rewards. (It gives you more earlier in the swap as a way of rewarding people who offer more popular seeds.) So, any seeds you 'sell' after the 'start' time (when new tickets are doled out) tonight will reward you at a different rate. Better to 'sell' those seeds earlier rather than later, because there are diminishing returns, so to speak, as each new 'day' of the swap starts. :)

I hope that helps everyone understand how the process works a bit. I think this is discussed in my FAQ's or on DAve's video tutorial, but it has been a while since I have reviewed those, so I forget where the explanations are. Hopefully, everyone has read/watched them and understands. If you have any questions regarding this, please let me know. The tickets you earn from 'selling' seeds are all bonus, really....you still get a set amount of new tickets every night, and each subsequent night you get MORE tickets than the previous night. Smiling Hurray!
