I’m wondering how if we’re buried under snow storm in Edm 😁

I am outside of Ottawa. It has been wonderful the last week. That will change soon. I have a cousin in Banff. She's buried under snow.

Lucky you! All courses in UK are closed till Dec 2nd due to lockdown (2nd wave).

Odd. Golf is the perfect social distancing sport

I agree,

Very odd but thats the British Government guidelines for you.

Anyone looking for a golf partner? I believe that Donald will have even more time on his hands shortly. He hates to lose, though - He’ll accuse you of cheating, even if you use his same methods 🤪. His orange overalls and the tall razor wire walls might require a bit of practice with his lob shots.

Personally, I‘ve always liked Mark Twain’s description of the game. “Golf- A good walk spoiled.” 😄

I saw DT playing golf last weekend and felt so sorry for his playing partners. Can you imagine one of them saying " Bad luck Donald..... better luck next time!" I read somewhere that when he is playing golf, he can struggle with his maths.

Maybe needs to take Diane Abbott along to track his score for him!

This event looks fun and involved but is 10 days really enough? It should be 2 weeks.

Back when I was starting out paying $5 for a premium level was a better deal. I was always looking for ways to increase either my bonus squares or max population, and a building that gave me even +10 population was something worth fighting for. That is likely the majority of the people playing the game. Right now I'm not even using all my population and my city is very big, and I have numerous bonus buildings sitting in storage, unused. So skipping the premium level makes more sense I think. And, getting a S1/S2 lower level aircraft such as an owl or eagle isn't very useful anymore either.

Like everything in Airport City it's a choice, and I have sat out events in the past even before the new system came in to place if it wasn't interesting or I had other goals at the time (like map quests or star chasing), so I don't think we should feel compelled to do every even now either.

True, but events are supposed to be attractive to all players. We're seeing a growing trend where events are getting harder for lackluster rewards. This is going in the wrong direction in my opinion

I've always liked what my dad called golf, cow pasture pool.

Interesting. Maybe a very significant oversight on GI's part. This event is focused on helicopters but there is no red helicopter prize in the event anywhere.

You should be on android and you will have different optics. It will be probably maximum 7 days, if everything goes fine. Nevertheless if it is worse I expect GI will offer +20 levels for 20-40 USD on Sunday, so not a big deal for them.
