There's a part if the new Christmas quest on island 1 that requires help from neighbours to complete.
I think that it may become more clear as you progress. I now believe that it's a bit like with airport city spaceship launches where one player (me in this instance), initiates the quest then I invite up to 5 or 6 others to assist with the completion.
Until you have the required components on island 1 then I don't think you'll be able to contribute. I think that this will be why you are puzzled by my invites.
Truth is, that one player can't initiate the quest and then, if necessary, complete it by himself (unlike rocket launching).
Unfortunately, I didn't know this when I initiated the quest so I cannot complete this time and we probably need to coordinate further attempts better through this forum.
I'll try to explain more clearly when I understand it more myself.
I do know that the components needed to contribute to a successful quest completion are collected from certain buildings on island 1 (like small houses) and from the patches that grow pumpkins etc, and also, I think, occasionally from the crashed aircraft. The items that occasionally drop are put into your inventory under a new third tag. The items are of differing value so the things that drop frequently from the farm patches are of less value within the quest than the things that rarely drop from the aircraft. The items look like shovels, red gloves...and something else that I can't remember. I was able to put 20 of the individual items into the quest when I started it and this contribution was about a third of what was needed to complete. I don't think that I could put anything more in so I needed my invited friends to contribute the rest within the given 24 hours post initiation.
It's all very complicated at the moment and I don't even know what the prize is, but it seems to include some snowflakes which must do something.
The two things that seem to initiate the ability to contribute to this joint quest are something that looks like a snow globe, and then something that I think they call a Christmas tree...but the thing that I have currently doesn't look much like a Christmas tree.
If you can visit my island1 then you might be able to see the snow globe and the other adjacent "thing". They are low down and more towards the right of centre of my island.
Maybe the snowflakes that we earn from completing the quest will feed the tree and make it into something better looking and worthwhile??
Anyhow, perhaps my lovely neighbours can advise when they make sufficient progress to understand something of this and we can then have a consolidated attempt at achieving a few of these quests. It looks like we will need to do a few, but, again, I'm not yet sure.
All as clear as mud eh?

Nutty
