Please never trade on a promise. This is scamming. Period.
It's against the rules to "sell" or "trade" presents/gifts that are wrapped as the other person has no idea what is actually in the present. It could be a rotten tomato or a stick...
So please do not let yourself be scammed. Play wisely and follow the rules of the game. That way you don't lose something you don't wish to lose. *laughing out loud!* :) |

Also please be aware you can't wrap anything expensive and you can't wrap companions. So if someone says they have something that costs a lot in a present, no they don't. Please file an abuse report on the player for scamming.
You also can't drop anything expensive. So while a few cats, dogs and such can be dropped, foals and other more expensive companions can't be. |

So is it not ok to give wrapped present to our buds through trade, even if we don't expect anything in return?
I don't wan't to break the rules, but I do want to clarify, because I love to surprise my buds <

You may give presents as presents any time you wish, and that's great. :)
What is against the rules is for example telling another that there is something very expensive in this present, and that they will trade for a horse. That...is scamming.
Trading a present for a present is fine too. As long as all realize the other present may be nothing (it sometimes does that) or it may be a twig or something. *laughing out loud!* So that players are not scammed. :) |

So, if you trade, say, 500k for a florida cracker, but it has to have a foal on it, is that against the rules because you could easily see the foal. |

Add the foal into the trade along with the horse. You can't trade a horse with the foal attached to the horse. It must be entered as two entries. One overall trade, but Player1 has the money, Player2 is selling 1. a horse and 2. a foal. :) Foal must be included at the time of the trade. Foals can't be wrapped as presents. They no likey enclosed boxes... :D |

I had this happen to me once when I first started! So DON'T fall for it...
I have one question though if we notice it happining to a new player or anyone.... should we find a mod or just report it? |

Please file an abuse report on the scammer. If there is a moderator on you can bring this to the moderators attention, sometimes they are actually trying to play and miss things occasionally. Otherwise just file the report. You could also pm the new player and tell them to be sure and do a fair trade, that expensive items or foals can't be wrapped. Don't put the other player down, just inform them of how the game works. :) |
