Mayor's Contest
I'm done with Buildit. This contest is a farce. Barely into the contest and there's someone with 37,000 points??? Last contest was the same thing...within a few hours someone had over 20,000 points...

Definitely seems suspicious no way someone could get all those points so fast. This contest is really bad rewards are minumal for the amount of work required and the assigned tasks are random.
It's very possible to complete 10 projects in as little as 5 hours. Destroying with Vu and rebuilding can take 5 minutes.
It's not clear how people get more points. I've chosen the highest point tasks given to me each time and will finish with 35K. Other have 41K. They were given higher point options- unfair! If there is a cumulative aspect- meaning you complete a 500 point Vu task to get a 3000 point one, I have never had this trend happen.
This game is already fishy (some players really don't seem real, identical stuff from one city magically is in the inventory of the next one you visit in identical quantities).
This contest also has "fishiness" going on.

This screen shot is about 8 hours later than the one above showing my available assignments. In the 3 leagues I've been through, I only had 1 that was higher than 3000 and only 4 between 2000 and 3000.
And you see the options I have left with 23 assignments left...almost no way without working day and night to even catch up to 37,000. My issue is that 37,000 score happened in just a few hours.
If this was a fair contest, we'd all be given chance to accumulate the same amount of points in a given timeframe. The difference in winning would be how much time we allotted to the game and how smart we are in figuring which assignments to choose along the way. That doesn't seem to be the case here.
The epic project "game" already left a bad taste in my mouth considering the amount of time it takes. This is a game which we should enjoy. It isn't our life or career. I left the Simpsons and Family Guy games for the same reason. I understand that money spent on the game buys certain privileges but when that becomes the point of the entire game, it's no longer fun. I've spent money on all 3 games until the point where it seemed that greed took over the game.
I've spent many dollars on console games over the years and have had many fun times well worth the money. Now, with pay as you go games, every nuisance of the game is about pulling more money out of someone's wallet. Games like Candy Crush are the worse...giving you seemingly impossible tasks with a paid option of one more try or special "option" to win.
