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.
I ended up just barely above the to be advanced line with a day and a half to go. So I most likely will be overtaken by someone... Darn it!
My avenges scores have been only 1800 and I the last contest it was about right as I came in at second place. However the last one I did my avenge score was the same again as I played fair no cheating I admit I did spend simcash to buy the vu items as I had none to complete the tasks. At the end I only came 12th so I worked out that some have been getting from the game set avenges of 2000 points sure the are a few hackers in the game to get over avenges of over 2000 points and I also noticed that one who got 60,000 on the first day a friend who posted a picture of it a real honest player may have say 30,00 max score on the first day of the contest. I just hope EA seeks out the hackers to give honest players a better chance of a place in the competition. These are my avenges
Happy
This time I won the Megapolis League with 250 Platinum keys. No, I am not a hacker and I do not play
on two devices. I did not had any 5000 points assignment. There where some 3000 but most around
2000 - 2500. I won this contest with only 5000 points difference to the the second place. But hey, it was
a hell of work.
Now I am free. Yes guys I am free. I have most of the golden keys buildings. Some i do not want to have. I can
buy nice objects with platinum and then I am done because even here I do not care about some platinum keys
as well. I can concentrate to earn money to make my city nice. To update my production lines etc.
I think the mayor contest is fine but it is too much time consumption as well as for the token buildings. I only go up
to 80 coins to produce silver tokens. If I need a golden one I will buy it. Maybe when my stock is high enough I can
easily produce gold tokens.
So far .... take care!!
