So...how did you this week with contest of mayors

This week wasn't lucky for me. Most of my assignments were production. And they were items like 12 microwaves, 9 fire pits,  cheese cakes, pizzas and lawn mowers. Very daunting and frustrating, didn't get many house upgrades this time even when I chose a low point task hoping to get more variety.  I had 9 assignments left today was hoping for vu or upgrades, thought I had potential to cause an upset but got screwed with making fire pits and other long production items. Just wasnt worth it, actually more like impossible.  Think I will focus on getting gold tokens with the epic projects and accumulating vu items.  And maybe try again in a month but I don't think I'll ever get more than 1 platinum key ever.

    That's true about the rewards. I've been trying to get promoted to megalopolis (and this week I did it!) so next contest I will have been in every league. It's very hard to get so close to a big or medium prize and then get knocked down. Last week I was in position 4 at 6 AM EST on Monday, (one hour before the contest end), then got ninja'd multiple times and finished at 9. Small prize, no promotion.

    SO... if it seems obvious that you're in for the small prize, or you're happy with the small prize, trying to stay in the top 50 should require only a smallish effort.

    Still, there's always the chance that this will be your lucky week...


    Nope not really into it for the small prize and nothing about this Contest requires only a smallish effort, except for maybe not competing at all. Something is always better than nothing and I was just trying to say something positive, instead of complaining like everyone else here seems to do...

    Some people would complain even if they were hung with a new rope...

    I agree that even getting a small prize, at least in the City league (and I presume on up), requires more than a small effort. I gave a small to medium effort in my first City league, and missed small prize by 8 spots.  I was not happy, but I could have picked some better tasks.  I think in the higher leagues, there should be something given to spots 65 or 60 and up, even a "tiny" prize of a couple of gold keys.  Frankly, unless you don't really participate at all, or a real small amount (like only half your assignments), you should get something for your efforts.    I will try harder this next week to at least get a small prize and stay in that realm until I've built up enough to make a run for a larger prize.
