ducktown2021 You're fast. We haven't begun yet. I got 2 custom decos and a second chicken on the horse during the last derbies. I placed it on the beach in my town. The last derby we finished 1st, but the rewards fot this were....

I like the Blossom Derby, too. I have a hoodmate that is able to coordinate her time on with mine, and that helps soooo much. Staggered trashing is the key. 😉

One of my favorites the blossom derby is next. I'm happy for you, but that applies not for me and my sister-in-law neither. We already opted out. We don't feel like dealing with it.

Staggered trashing is the key. 😉 Momscar, explain staggered trashing please. Start trashing the tasks with (I take 30 seconds) interval. After 30 min the first task will be blossom, if it’s easy (town, help, mine, short time crops) I take it. If not trash it. After 30 seconds in my case a new blossom task will pop up. Same thing trash if it’s difficult. Take if it’s easy. I am usually done with this derby in couple hours and finish top3 all the time.

I have multiple babyfarms for the help tasks, enough room in silo when I start, enough mining tools and the town prepped. It takes me an average of 10 minutes per task if I also do wheat or corn tasks. You know when to harvest the last fields and as soon as you finish that task, 30 seconds later another blossom task will pop up. You might have to practice a bit on the timings and what suits you best. I started with 5 seconds in between trashing. But can’t finish help or mining task in 5 seconds. 30 is doable for me.

One farm, lol. If hoodie and I aren’t on at the same time that complicates things, and we don’t always know what the other can/will be able to take. That’s a coordination thing. So another few questions…for you, and others who do this derby because I’m sure people have their own methods…. How much is enough room in silo? How many mining tools do you keep handy? How do you prep your town? (I always have my people served, but never know whether to try to keep 4-5 of each townie, 9 of some, none of others, 13-16 in a single building in case one of those tasks shows up, etc.) And what do you mean you know when to harvest the last fields? I usually just go when I can go and finish when it’s done, assuming I can get back online when the next set of fields is finished. (I often get interrupted by like, life, lol.). One recent blossom derby we had all long tasks for a couple of days, no 320s, etc. Is there a way around that? (Just what you said, stagger them by 30 seconds or so, so if you trash one after another you’ll get an easy one soon enough?) Thanks for the tips. Anything that makes an annoying derby less annoying is nice to know and worth a try. 😊

When I can be on and do staggered task trashing, I have far less patience than momscar. I put about 10 seconds between task trashing and I start clockwise, top to bottom. I set a timer and rinse and repeat.

Respect for your stamina and the time you're investing. As for me I don't feel like being present at certain times to clear the board. It's annoying in my opinion. All the more I appreciate your involvement for that kind of stuff.

(Just what you said, stagger them by 30 seconds or so, so if you trash one after another you’ll get an easy one soon enough?) Thanks for the tips. Anything that makes an annoying derby less annoying is nice to know and worth a try. 😊 - enough room in the silo for me is around 200 space. When I plant the fields again I sell the remainder in the RSS for default price or farm visitors just to get rid of surplus, but keep enough to plant all fields again when needed for new task. - I have enough mining tools for at least 5 mining tasks. Usually I have over 500 dynamite and tnt barrels in my barn. I have a lot of mining tool drops from wheating. - all 42 town visitors are fully served. I release number needed for town task. My babyfarms keep the visitors so I can send them all away when derby starts, I select with main farm only visitors that need short term stay in shops, like grocery. - if I have a crop task I know that corn is done in 4 minutes, when I am about to complete a crop task I make sure that once completed, and deleted, the next blossom task will show up within seconds and not after 30 minutes. All has to do with knowing when to trash tasks and when they are about to refresh on the board again. - yes, the easy tasks will appear rather soon when doing staggered trashing. You will have multiple blossom tasks appear after you trash one and the next one will show. If you trash the complete board at once you will only have one blossom task after 30 minutes. If you stagger trashing each task that pops up is blossom. Offcourse you have to trash a blossom task that you find difficult or long taking. Always the next is blossom. most of the times I finish with 5 mine, 1 town, 3 help and 1 crop task within hours. I start when I know I have a couple of spare hours to play.

In the real world, some of my hoodies think they have to do what comes up. Alas, they picked feed blossom, spa blossom and lemon curd blossom. I will wait for Saturday😜

Indeed an easy derby again for me using the staggered method. Finished 2nd in just a couple of hours. 4 decos in the first five horseshoe rewards, including the snail race, that one I didn’t have yet. Attachments:

Chill derby with bunnies. No promotion or demotion with this derby. No competition at all, so no stress and 3 extra rows with rewards.

Mom’sCar You are right. I skipped the last derby (Blossom) because I don't like it. During that time it's definetely easier to re-arrange farm and/or town/zoo. I prefer to do this likewise. Without the "stress" from a derby which can be sometimes challenging. The chilling bunny derby is indeed a good opportunity to do so. Nevertheless I think I'll take a break now because my last change was yesterday. (Zoo)

Is it just me or are we missing a few “chill” derby tasks?
Between 2 farms in different hoods, there were no mining or help tasks all week. It was far from “chill”
Fortunately, we reached all rewards in both hoods before I finished all tasks. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have made it😌

We do get them with power derby, but I can’t remember we had help or mining with chill derby.
