Competition of Mayors Suggestion

Contest of Mayors: Just finished 9. I recommend giving Plumbom points after completing 9 for the time left. This makes it harder to turtle you way over 5 days. Something like 50 points for every hour left. Thus 1200 per day For early finishing. In my case with 2 days and 3 hours left an extra 2550 points. Right now I'm setting the bar for our group. They now know what projects the have to take to beat my bar and I can no longer move. Basically there is no advantage of getting done early

Anyway I like contest of Mayors. I know I have the best city and can now prove it. 😉

    I advance and the next level allows 19 assignments. It seems to be luck of the draw.

    Same here: I had 8 (or 9) assignments on the first comp I was in the bottom league. I then passed in the second league and have now 18 or 19 assignments that I can make in 4 days. The comp is already fiercer so I doubt I would make it to next league and I can't imagine what is asked in terms of score vs task when you enter the league with special key!!!

    Good luck and keep us all update

    I did the same mistake and draw the same conclusion: upgrading a residential building no matter french english japanese or regular means to have ALREADY upgrade from CONSTRUCTION SITE to 1st TIER (this step doesn't count people in the comp!!! thank you Sim rules!)

    I did one of the upgrade housing tasks and it seems it doesn't count to go from your initial plot to the first level house.  But I then got credit for upgrading from one level house to the next.

    I recommend having a logic to getting higher point tasks. So far it is random. I am level 74 with 78 cheetah buildings, chose all highest point tasks and finished 23rd. After 3 contests, there is no trend of completing one task leading to a higher point next task.
    I think the contest is a luck of the draw. I don't want to waste 5 days effort only to hope I get lucky.

    Make the contests have hidden clues that can lead to higher point tasks or some other differentiating method.

    This was mine and it worked good for awhile, if do the high scores then the game will give u a same or higher scores. But if go for a lower score if unable to do the higher one for example 3k scores to do a Tokyo deliveries so go for another high score one but it then give out one that same or lower then go for the Tokyo deliveries then guarantee the next score be good. That how to stay in the first 3 places. 

    However in in the last two contests this me then has stopped working as when I go for the higher scores the game has only dropped me a low score task and not even given many upgraide so I dropped from from first place to 3 placed last week and this week is gone down hill this method as now in 5th for now with 97k point and not the usual 110k to 109k points yet it still works for others as the one in the first placed is still in the 107k points. I just hope it fixed this method soon otherwise not competing if the games method has stopped working for me. Maybe if I not play in the next contest I start from scratch and the method start working again

    I was lvl 40 then I lvl up to 41 when I got a upgraide 3 Tokyo buildings zones for 3k followed by upgraide 3 London building zones also 3k then followed by  2150 k to produce 12 shovels then a plank task worth 1900 points now doing a factory production task 57 chemicals that have to do twice to put in the last 7 glued it only takes 2 hours not 5 or 7 hours. So I am back on form as my averages are now 2162 so far. So doing good I was not going to do it this week until I saw the task listed 3 of them worth electric chips 59: 2900 points and delivery to Paris worth 2600 points give or take that and another that was worth 2000 points 5 gold keys. So I was lead in not a trap with them points was an offer I could not refused. Glad I did as this weeks doing good. I have had a 1440 point task when I thought going down but it was to produce 7 bread since it was late in the night I did not use a speed. I fell asleep. But I thought I was awake a sin the dream I completed the bread task and then I got 2 more 3k tasks. Then I woke up and the bread task was still not done. Then after it was done guess what! I got 2 task worth 3k upgrade Tokyo then London followed by 2k task. The task I got now is only worth 1750 points but it not effect my high scores. So dreams do come true will mine do any way
