Contest of Mayors scoring
I have entusiastically played the first two contests of Mayors of the game. In the last one, despite I chose all the maximum score assignments, I couldn't win the contest; others players scored more...

Winning is all a matter of perspective.
Yes, you are correct. Different people get different assignments and as such it's not entirely a fair playing field. At least the best that I can tell.... The highest for a single assignment that I've heard about is 3000, although I've never seen it. I had a 2500 one time this time around, but the first week I didn't see anything near that high. Most things were 1500 and under.
Now, as far as that perspective I was talking about. I've seen someone else post a picture of their standings and the highest person (the #1 spot) was only around 6500. In mine this week, the highest person got 16,900, the 5th spot was 12980. I ended in 14th at 10450 and advanced to Suburban League with a Big Prize. Did I win? I certainly think so. That's 2 keys and 10,000 simoleans I would not have had otherwise. To me, I won. I don't need that #1 spot, although, if I were in that other group, I would have had the #1 spot. Does it bother me that someone with 6500 got the top spot while I got 10450 and was 14th? Not in the least. I really don't care. A Mayor's contest, to me, is a side quest to playing the game and doesn't really matter other than what keys I can gain since they're so rare. I got 2 keys, so I won. It's all a matter of perspective.
The playing field should be level offering same offered scores to all players attending!
this game hosts dishonorable tasks that are not honorable scores compared to the other players who may have been give the high ground.
if you finish first and picked high scoring tasks, it should have been respectable and assumed that all other players were working on the same tasks, but this is not so!
i got promoted and was still on top but there is no honor or glory in the game, victory is shallow here because if you got a high scoring task offered then it doesn't matter if you had the time, skill and speed tokens because some other player is already working on a task that was of a higher level....
i can can confirm that all my tasks offered were the highest scoring as far as I know so players here get punked!
I agree. This isn't a level playing field. The leagues are not designed as we were told they would be in the FAQ. Kind of takes all the fun out of the contest if you have no chance at all of winning even one Platinum key.
I don't even care about the Platinum keys right now. I just want to earn more gold keys so I can get my specializations up to where they need to be to get cheetah in other areas besides the beach.
