Hi Rikmondo, last cacao was in the daily contest you needed min 18 to place in the top 100. I'm sure you will need more this time. I will post all the ones I have kept track of later when I have time, I've been keeping track for when I have built up more and need the medals for the ET task.

18 bah that's no good. Well I'm sure going to try but there is no way I'll be able to get more than 20

Talk about unfairness.....I'm still stuck with this despite getting a ticket on March 26. If they finally give me a restoration point to go back to the exact moment this happened, I would lose everything I've gained since (yes, I continued playing albeit handicapped). However, I did not go into expanding land or buying buildings or upgrades because that will all be gone when Tech Support finally addresses my ticket.



How long does GI take to respond?

This happened to me as well, it took 2 days for a reply that I needed to reset to march 26th with the pop up window they provided. This of course was not an option on the pop up so another day of waiting and my only option was to reset back to the 25th march. In the end I lost 4 days of game play and my waffle cafe I bought at discounted price. I still have not had a response to that complaint. I must say I hesitated to do the reset, and my only reason in the end for doing it was that I am only 1 task and one upgrade away from needeing avocados for the ET. Hindsight being 20/20, I wouldn't have reset.

Hope it gets sorted soon

And the more we know, the more we know we don't know

Day two of the biggest lockout in Danish history, the nights are still cold, but this morning the sun is shining. Promising a beautiful spring day which means more snow will melt yay!

Oh, and it's my dads 65 birthday!

Lockout? What's going on?

I will not bother with the cocoa beans, only have three farms because I am concentrating on ranches and dairy products. I am trying to take on the great Mockba. It's the only way I can get city credits because I refuse to spend real money. Real reason is my wife will throw the iPad away if I spend real money. She keeps me honest.

You have a good wife that you obviously need. You should bring home flowers tonight. And I don't mean from one of your farms !

Grat theory, but not sure I buy it.
I run with 2 terminals - total of 9 buses and 1 doubledecker. I basically get one every day. I am now at 28 in total.
Low maintenance, great pay-off.

Well I got an avo on Monday. And just now got another. Taxis by day, busses by night. (1 double and 4busses). The double brought home a mango.

My contest is cacao beans. Dont think i'll do too well on those. Might only squeeze out 8 or 12 which I'm sure wont be enough to place, but i wlll be actively participating.

city: Kiwiland player: Ukkiwiguy

Is there any chance that the task to get the 4th Easter building could involve cacao beans?

Produced 4 cacao overnight and spun up 4 more farms, so I can max out at 28 today. We'll see how it goes.

Congrats to those who placed yesterday; I saw a lot of familiar names! Wish everyone here had placed though. I barely did.

Yes congrats to those who plaved. The only reason I placed was because I decided to stay up late and get up early...

Id put down another couple farms and upgrade for cacao but I just spent all my cash on my final warehouse upgrade for the achievement 3 mil went bye bye.

Edit; so i managed to build and upgrade 3 more farms which should give me another 9 cacao in total so bringing me to 29. After these quests are done I am saving up and buying land, since I've not been able to while saving for the warehouse.

Well - 29 should easily make it.
Logic: people can have max 10 farms. Due to the glitch, we have only 23 hours - with 6 hours to make a cocoa, that sets the limit to 3 per farm (unless you are Mockba, buying your way through) - which sets a reasonable cap at 30.

My money goes on you making it.

I am still in the race, "just" need to place the last 4 days......

Yup I know what you mean if I place every day for the next 4 days ill only be 1 egg short which means only 10 credits will need to be spent which I see as a reasonable amount for the population bonus the building has. So I just need to place for the next 4 days... Easy (if only)
