Okay, anyone experienced this problem yet (and it's unrelated, as far as I can tell, to the recent Nessie issue). I just reopened my game to find that I'm suddenly in the red, population-wise. I recall having a population of 950000+, but it's now down to 949353, and my population is actually at...

Yeah... Odd, that! You'd almost think it were deliberate, but as we all know from GI, it's just because we're plain unlucky ;-) Steve SteveGPI/Hanham/Level 59/Corporation Goldfish

This is the game I started Big Business with last year. It was so frustrating I almost gave up a few days in. Later tasks of the same sort (the Thanksgiving one, for instance) don't seem anywhere near as annoying as this one, for some reason. The folk at GI sure know how to charm us on...

"Dear GI. I had just collected the 359th barrel of diesel when your servers went offline and... " :p Well, whatever it was, seems to be up and running again now. Wondering whether it's been counting my diesels today though, one of which I clicked on just before noticing the lack of server...

Anyone else having trouble connecting to the Big Business server? At least I assume it's their server having problems. I can't connect to the port, or to my corporation, or anything that requires an internet connection. I just get the message "Dear player, you need to be connected to the...

I'm just going by what my team mates are telling me in the communications tab.

Tap on the Business Centre. When the dialogue box opens up, you should see a question mark just under the title label, click and it takes you to the info. Steve

Yeah, the points system is confusing me, too. I've contributed 10 flowers so far, and have no points. A team member who's only contributed 1 flower has 5 points already. I've written to GI to ask for some clarification of the way this works, as I can't see it in the info page for the business...

Yay! Me too - looks nice without the clutter, doesn't it :-) Steve SteveGPI / Hanham / Level 58

Have also sent a request to join, but no problem if I'm too late - definitely looks like 10 max! Steve SteveGPI / Hanham / Level 58

I gleefully purchased the sombrero restaurant on the mistaken assumption that avocados would be used for making guacamole or something similar. No such joy. Sometimes I wonder whether GI intended to do something with the avocados and then just forgot all about them. A bit like the blueprints...

Heads up to all the newer players here: they are currently running a promo video for another one of their games. As tempting as it is to simply ignore these, if you DO click to watch the (very short) video, it will earn you a CC for nothing :-) Steve SteveGPI / Hanham / Level 57

...just joking, of course :-P By the way: Games Insight are the most fantastic, wonderful, kind-hearted and considerate people in the world. Sophie should be elevated to godlike status. I am not under any pain or duress writing this. Honest. Steve SteveGPI / Hanham / Level 57. In need of...
