The Great Game

[Navigata07]

I am not going all out for this event. But I do have some more thoughts.

• The Great Game Event must return for 2019, to celebrate the FIFA Womens World Cup (I like the Womens World Cup because England progress a long way in this competition - unlike the Mens Team).
  
• Any unique passenger generating building is a must for any AC player serious about doing well - here's a chance for 12 additional passenger generating buildings - and they dont cost 100's of thousands of coins to buy.
  
• Would it really have been too difficult to reprogram the event for Russia instead of Brazil?
  
• Those fuel additive bonuses are so useful - its getting hard to resist chasing some Tickets to purchase a whole load of them to up my weekly pax for the alliance.
  
• Does anyone buy those special buildings costing £30 every event when you can complete the collections so easily?
  
• I miss the corny video endings for events that we enjoyed (e.g.) on Age of Ash. Could we have one for completing every event? How about - you win the Great Game, then you view a video of Vladimir Putin riding bare chested across your city, flexing his muscular torso and waving at your successful team.
• Please dont buy your 'tickets' from Viagogo or GIS may lock you out of the game.
• The FIFA World Cup continues for 4 weeks. The event only lasts for two weeks. Are the programmers English?

Hope everyone enjoys the Event.

That's why I said that recent events haven't been very attractive. They aren't offering pax buildings. The last good pax building offer was vday. If they're going to offer a coin building, then make it a worthy one.

Welcome to my side of the world! Wished you came in the winter; it's been rainy here the past few weeks....more than usual.

I was in Delray the week before Mother’s Day and the weather was perfect. The rain started the day I left. I got lucky.

In Titanium League with only 1 more player

I guess not many people are interested to join the race.
Or maybe the threshold was set too high, since there are no flowers to shear or elves to whack.

Someone should point out to GI that the World Cup is in Russia this year!

The Great Game event is not endorsed by or associated wtih FIFA World Cup, otherwise GI will go bankrupt trying to secure the licence.
This is a totally unrelated in-game football competition that happens to take place at the same time.

Don't worry, I am Treasurer of the Dingley Dell Ladies Football Team. We have our bi-annual championship tournament next week. I can let you have the in-game rights and take away any legal worries for lets say a few greenies and the suspension on anyone who manages to fly 13,025,910 passengers in four days.

If I don't hear back from you in 24 hours, I'll assume we have a deal.

Yes it's been a washout ever since. Still love it here though

Oh, indeed I was. I'm on vacation in Florida (greetings, @Navigata07 and @Wired Parrott - you are residing in Florida, aren't you ) so I enjoyed a beach bar in St Pete on Sunday, then Naples yesterday and now I'm seating at Key West enjoying the live here

@Pit1024 ive been in Tampa for a week. Think I’ll be here another one too.

Pity I didn’t post few days earlier - we might have added a photo together in the collection of AC members’ real life meetings
I’m heading north to Miami today and will leave to Europe on Sunday, so no trip back to Tampa planned.

 

[Chazzy999]

Well, this event is a cause of celebration for me - I have reached the Platinum level (albeit in 100th place and for about 2 seconds) for the first time EVER!

Moving through some nice areas there, hope you are enjoying your stay
in our little part of the world.

I could go into a whole long thing about the weather but yeah a bit on wet side.
Mainly there is a tropical flow coming from the SW causing all this trouble. Not
normal but also not that unusual.

 

[Wired Parrott]

I have come to a conclusion about the collecting of letters, tickets or whatever in these events.
Spend them before the conclusion, whether as @Bob69bob said on filler buildings or on the
event bonuses. Anything is better than the appalling coin exchange rate which is kind of insulting.

I had spent all but a few a couple events ago. When it was over I noticed I got like 20 coins for
each item. So last event I keep all of the items never spending one. For my troubles and my about
17,000 letters...what do I get.... 3000 coins.
Seriously was this a joke, a mistake, I can not fathom the thought process here. So if they have just
a few will give them a 20 to 1 exchange rate, but if they actually do our event the whole time and
keep their items will give them a .20 to 1 exchange rate......absurd.

HI Guys
If todays Platinum minimum limit is 1400+ and I have 1462 tickets, why am I still showing as 26+ in Titanium league (800+) and only in line for 3 chests and 250 coins? Am I missing something? Is the top league limited to a certain number of people or something?

Yes. Top100 only

On my list, the 100th position in Platinum league is currently at 1962 tickets and rising. A few minutes ago it was 1925 tickets.

Heads up if you hit number near (hour to minutes) end of day (23:59UTC) you may not get all of your daily bananas Steel Boxes.
ACG system does not update Competition in real time.
Ex:Change your player profile. It updates real time in Alliance & World Map, but not Competition portion. Sometimes closing app completely, then re-opening, helps update, sometimes not.
G! support blames Player and or Player's Internet connection.
Is G! stealing bananas???

 

[Duck Airport]

Anyone having problems with rewards.... currently according to the information button I should be positioned no 93 in Platinum but my rewards are showing no 93 in Titanium!
Worth reporting !

As discussed many times before, the threshold for different Ligas (like the 1,400+ above for Platinum) is updated only at the reset (midnight UTC). It means that 1,400 Tickets were enough for Platinum at the beginning of the UTC day. At the moment I'm writing this message rank 100 in Platinum has 2,211 Tickets so you need to achieve more than this to be promoted to Platinum.
