True. I actually warned my Mom about those two and told her what to do ahead of time. lol She has one family that is pretty poor and I didn't want her getting discouraged before she could get hooked on the game like me!

I couldn't bring myself to reset either, but I will ignore emails in real life when I am busy, so I use that excuse for my people too and they go right on ignoring email until they get that promotion. If you don't shut down or switch families between getting the email and answering, the emails just pile up. I had one of my mothers move to master just after making level 6 because 2 of the 4 emails waiting to be answered were instant promotions.

Generally I would agree with those who say they just accept what the emails say/do as a part of the game but after having 2 losses of progress, a hefty tax, and a couple others that just said "we took the money out of your account" for some reason or other in a single day I was getting really bummed out. Depending how often my bad luck pops up I may or may not use the shutting down options but I'd like to actually enjoy the game not get depressed over it.
knksmiles I don't know if I could just ignore the emails and let them pile up, I'm too curious! LOL But you know what they say about curiosity...I think I've had only 1 or 2 good emails so perhaps I should leave them be!

My peeps are more upset about accusations of job infringement than that of paying taxes, which eventually gets paid back to them.

Once my peeps receive a promotion of any sort, incoming emails goes unanswered - temporarily..... Meaning, I too switch between families. It's a procedure my peeps learned early on and will continue to hand down for generations to come.

How ironic that the same person that was accused of impropriety just a few years (days) ago was today given accolades and bumped up to the next level which was very nice indeed. The frame-up must have been found out!

LOL grats OR! I actually got that darn infringement e-mail yesterday,

Yeah, I was pretty pleased with that email! LOL Especially considering she'd only just gotten the previous promotion overnight and wasn't too far into it.

:P @ Lyssaria You couldn't have even been that far into progress with your 4th generation.
Why isn't there a "stick-out-your-tongue" smiley when you need one?

It was actually in my other family, the Rainbows ^^ they almost reached master cook so I couldn't let them lose progress! For my stick-out-tongue needs, I use the face LOL

Ok ok, that's a good reason. It would have been awful to lose that much progress, I agree.

If that's the face you use for sticking out your tongue then I had better clear my name and say that's now how I meant it when I just PMed you! LOL
