Contest of Mayors is a joke
WTF how can this be happening? Last week I was beaten by players who put up more points than I had available if I did ALL 28 assignments and now this!
Forum Discussion
Someone previously stated "This would result in every player having the same point total potential."
I don't see an issue with that, except for the fact that the rules state there are no tied scores. The person who gets the score first will be higher on the leaderboard. The down-side of this, is the fact that the contest starts mid-week, and punishes people who primarily play on weekends. Not everyone would have the same score, but those people that completed all the tasks could potentially be. If they complete all the hard work, they should be rewarded accordingly.
There also is a lot of mention about people completing tasks quickly or having a lot of points all in the beginning. What difference does it make if a player is in 1st place on Friday? Doesn't it only matter what place you are in when the contest is over
The rules say there's no tie scores, if you get the higher score first, you're above the following people who tie your scores. This would be 1 example where money rules the game. Speeding up the airport deliveries is a huge time saver. I did it in the last contest and yet I still finished #61.
Someone mentioned EA's model creates unfair advantage.
It surely does, because the fact is, the task values are completely random, making it a contest of almost pure luck. I got word back that this is changing soon, however I don't know how soon.

A lot of us spend money on this game. You keep acting like since it's a 'free' game no one gives EA money. We do and we expect value for that money.
We have a right to speak. If you aren't paying for the game, maybe you should listen more and talk less.

You must have me confused with someone else because everything you comment on about me could not be farther from the truth. You make some accusations that just are not accurate. From what Ive read of your posts, you do nothing but complain and yet you still play. I read these forums to learn and to enjoy the game better. So many people complain that it gets old. You obviously have a problem with people who have different opinions that you, you obviously believe that your opinions are the correct ones and thats fine. I actually feel sorry for people like you, who have a hard time existing in society because you have no friends. Maybe you will get it someday. Try seeing the cup as half full sometime
Bottom line I'm not here to fight anyone. You obviously have a problem with me and since I am the bigger person, I will give way and let you have your way. I dont have the time nor desire to keep responding to you nor do I want to stoop to your level
Good job buddy! Enjoy your life...

Just regarding this post, it looks like it's diverged away from the original topic.
To that point, i do think the contest is far fetched. I can't fathom people spending money on this game just to win the one contest. I put it down to hackers which seems the most logical theory
The contest really demands to much time and effort and the whole random factor in skill points is just to much of a negative.
- ApprovedHere's more proof of Cheating/hacking this game. Which has been my point since I started this post. I'm glad he/she got caught.

I will link to this thread whenever someone tries to shoot down the complaints about cheating. Even without screenshots to back it all up, it's very obvious that there are cheaters and hackers in this game. It's impossible to wrack up three day's worth of points an hour into the game unless someone is cheating. There's just no other way.

Relatively new to the game and just reading some of the comments. I just read that if you have completed everything you can request extra tasks using the golden tickets (or whatever they call them 🙂) Not meaning to sound patronising but I assume you have tried these (haven't myself yet).
As for hacking/cheating I don't understand what there is to gain. If you can give yourself maximum sim cash etc to buy whatever you want then surely it's game over. You don't gain anything IRL and also the incentive to play is pointless. As it's a fairly solitary game anyway who are you going to impress?
