Contest of Mayors is stupid. I worked hard to advance from the bottom tier and now it's impossible to advance out of the top 50. I have given up even trying. It's aLao stupid that you can't bump back down to the lower tiers to be more competitive. This latest contest and the guy in the lead has more points than I earned the whole past contest. I refuse to s-end a bunch of money just to advance.
EA is ruining this game the same way they ruined the PC version.
It's purely a game of luck, that's probably why there's no demotion (even though it says there is in the rules).
I did the highest tasks and came #60, I would be pissed if I got demoted after that.
If you always do the highest value tasks, eventually you'll make the top10 and get a reward/promoted.
In order for that to happen though, you probably have to spend a lot of SimCash to finish the airport deliveries fast, since that's where the 5,000 point tasks are usually assigned. I've already done 2 this League, but my other tasks sucked, my score isn't competitive so far.
Well, they say there is demotion and that is -- last 20 players of a given group now. So 60th is still standing, but 81st is going down...
I wonder what will happen if more than 20 last players have the same score -- will they sort them alphabetically to demote 20 last ones, or will they demote more than 20 -- all with the lowest score?
