We need to talk about Emily

[Gnome d'War]

I get why Sophie is still a hard-charging farmer and hasn't retired off of her monopolistic, obviously highly lucrative store: Emily is incompetent.

Let's look at some of the facts:
1 - she can't fertilize a pumpkin by herself, an activity that involves spilling something on the ground
2 - she can't catch a baby chick to save a life. I didn't even have to run to catch them, just walk over and done. Maybe it's the hand-eye coordination of putting it in the cage?

I'm starting to think granny's memory "problems" aren't caused by old age but a family feature. It seems pretty obvious to me that without Sophie's help Emily would have died a long time ago, probably from getting trampled by chickens and ducks instead of the starvation that would result from being too stupid to remember to eat.

Any thoughts?

Hah alright I love this take on Emily, but let's be fair. When you offer to help fertilize the pumpkin she tries to stop you because that's obviously so easy she has it locked down until you say that you just wanted it to be something you do together. It's a farm dork flirting thing.

Two is 100% legit though seriously you had to run after that damn thing all the way to my shop, the one full of open furnaces and running sawblades?! FFS Emily just walk the damn chicks inside that huge ass fenced area you have.

Emily is .... special .....

I mean, do you see who she keeps for company?

“LIEK, OMG, SHOES” valley girl and “I’m the MOST beautiful person alive” Antoine.

Of course she’s a nutcase.

Plot twist, Emily is actually an extremely competent farmer she's just failing deliberately in a futile attempt to gain attention from the cute new builder in town.

You think that when a baby chicken escapes that it's natural instinct is to go towards the sound of running sawblades and machinery? The only way those baby chicks would end up outside your farm is if someone chased them there deliberately...

Emily's practically bending over backwards trying to get your attention and get you to spend time with her but you builders are so completely clueless it's comical.

There’s the problem: she’s bending in the wrong direction

Sophia is clearly suffering from advanced dementia and that part of the family dynamic is sad though

[Cutlass Jack]

If you paid attention to the dialogue, you'd remember that it was YOU who begged her to help raise her pumpkin. She's throwing you the fertilizer job once a week to make you feel better.

Of course she knows how to do fertilizer...she's tending a massive field when she gives you the pity job. And if you ever raised a giant veg it needs way more fertilizer than she asks you to do.

But I have to agree about the Chicks.

[Gnome d'War]

Okay, so I was a little off about the pumpkin, but is it REALLY that difficult to walk over to a chick that just stands there? I expected an actual hunt and chase, and almost missed the stupid birds because they were all right there! "What, these birds? The ones RIGHT HERE??? You can't get these yourself?"
Lazy, blind, useless girl. I stand by my proclamation she's only alive because of Sophie, possibly McDonald. You KNOW those two are smashing. Why else is McDonald un-romanceable?

[Ydyp]

It is not Emilies fault that the chicks just stand around these days, there were times you realy had to chase them to catch them. This was changed around and the chicks were made lazy based on us builders feedback that we didn't want to waste ingame hours just to catch a chick.
