Janie,
The point that I made to GI this week, is that my iPad (and iPhone) automatically changes the time when I travel through overseas' zones to the local time as soon as there's a WiFi signal to it. I don't bother trying to understand how, but it does it and for most apps this is appropriate and right. It resets to home time when I return. I don't know whether this can be manually overridden but why would anyone need to go to this inconvenience for one game?
I'm hoping for some kind of rational explanation from GI before my next trip but I'm not holding my breath for it.

Well, this is the third time I am posting this!! GI told me that if we first double click the home button to bring up the menu, and then click on the red button with a '-' sign in it, it closes the game completely and then, it does not matter if we change the time settings. I have never tried it out but will do it the next time when I travel overseas.
 
We should take bets on wether or not they will answer your questions. I think not.

I was thinking earlier of asking a completely random question like 'do you think I should park my car in my neighbours driveway' and see what standard answer they come up with, lol
Lets see. I will update. Maybe we could ask some random questions like the one you said to get a reply appreciating our interest in the game and asking to get back to them if we have any other problem.

Isn't it great how they first irreversibly block our game and then tell us how we could have prevented it. The world upside down :(

Turn off under settings time and date automatic...i

Another free tip don't put your hand under a jet wash, unless you want to remove a few layers of skin, works well and hurts a lot later.... Still learning at my old age life skills..

needs nothing send me what you need

So this is my latest email from GI. I give up :(

Sian and David (level 40) Need passengers. Thank you :)

All I can think off is you can get software to look at the game data on your ipad a bit like file manager in windows, when I looked at mine I could see all the people pictures I had ever linked too or had been in that list of neighbours your could add ever , it was tempting to delete the ones I can no longer connect too as I reckon that would make them available again , you could also see all the game data if you know what your doing you could most likely modify it... But it would hard work and risky ,maybe some people in the past have done so, so they just use that reply as an default.

I would like to thank you for sharing your thoughts with us and coming up with suggestions on improving the game process.
You are a valued customer and what you think is important to us. It is very encouraging to see that you are involved so much into the game process and our dedicated team of developers will certainly appreciate it.

I reckon the lines above is code from GI that means go way as you have reached the limit of the no of posts per username, I reckon GI call centre must be worse that the one on bbc tv,to work in.

Keep at it abababababab as I am sure you will eventually wear them down and the game will be changed.

Oops, sorry I must have sent it to someone else. Hopefully you will get it now.

please send fuel catalyst, benches, goal posts, video boards or robotic lawnmowers to both Troglodyte69 (iPad) & Troglodyte96 (iPhone) thanks.

I received more goal posts thanks, only 1 more required now. I dont seem to get anything from trog96 a/c though. I cant send myself gifts from ipad a/c but not sure anyone is receiving my gifts from there

captain flop (level 40) passengers, duty free. android account: floweryport thx lovely neighbours :)

That's annoying, I've been sending passengers to Capt Flop from 96, just sent some more. I wonder if anyone is getting my gifts from there?

Thanks for the advice about date/ time Fred. It's probably the thing to do when travelling. Having the wrong time on my iPad whilst on holiday is probably acceptable if it avoids further conflict with GI.
I've had the usual update from GI today, who say in effect that my questions are too difficult so they are being referred to the tech people who will get back to me within 5 days. I expect they will then say they have no answer and close the ticket.
Sorry to hear about your jet wash experience. I've never tried this and now will make sure not to. Get well soon.

I dont think i have been getting passengers. I get a few gifts daily but only a couple from the regulars on here. Just checked my recent gifts and only forum member is jim

I dont know what would happen. I had only tried it at home by removing one app from the menu but now that I have played it several times, it has again reappeared. I dont think it means not playing. GI told me that if we close it and then travel and then open it after changing the time, the game is not supposed to be affected.
