Things Every New(and Old) Mayor Should Know

Have anymore advise, there are so many question from different level of players and it is difficult to obtain Knowledgable answers to a broad spectrum of gamers....would love for some of those problems to be addressed....

In regards to this part of the discussion, you are correct. I have mainly played online PC games, like Elder Scrolls etc, with guilds and such. They actually go to the extent of website development, which I know very little about except that it's easier because certain places offer a free domain and templates for designing. I do not Facebook. In fact, I can't even friend anyone in anyway that I know of because Apples last update did away with that option and I can only view my achievements, this is probably because Apple gets a cut if they do away with friending capabilities through their Game Center and essentially try to force people to use Facebook. If anyone knows a way other than Facebook for IOS devices please make a post, lol. Anyway, if someone really enjoyed the game enough and had accurate access or knowledge regarding the game they could undertake the task and circumvent both EA and Facebook. Maintenance would be required as game changes occurred. I, however, am not volunteering for that responsibility, lol. It kind of would be nice to have ingame guilds with a guild bank, lol. That's asking a lot though. I got spoiled by the luxuries  provided by PC game developers  and I already advocate for some kind of in game communication and friending methods. it would reduce the need for Facebook, which is a source of revenue because then anything you post is Facebooks property basically and they will exercise that to the fullest potential for monetary gain. This information comes to me via computer security specialist who work in the financial arena where security is top priority. None of them will join Facebook. You can create emails just for gaming but they usually can circumvent that and acquire not only your other personal information but any contacts on your device via updates. I highly advocate against its use whatsoever vocally every chance I get...as you can very well see, lol. Happy gaming everyone! 

I think having a tutorial section regarding different topics with very precise headings would be nice. I haven't seen much new info on the web since the last update and a lot is really outdated. I type in the search box provided above and what pops up is so broad. I write long posts,lol. Can you tell...hee hee. It does take work to compile and organize information and players input from those with accurate knowledge but it really needs more subdivisions IMO. General is so vast and broad. It would be nice to have lists, like residential  buildings only related, and then subdivide that into epics, specialized towns, omega. A section for the speciality buildings. With info like what they do, maximizing their potential etc. There are just so many topics it's crazy, lol. These forums represent that because people are looking for such specific information that finding it at times can be a challenge. I won't complain though because I am grateful to have it versus nothing and I think folks really do try to help best they can. I think I did find a way to add friends via iMessage on iPad and it's a hassle but I tried it and the person got the message but they don't actually play so seeing if the invite actually would be accepted wasn't useful. I see a lot of email addresses when I check my contacts and I don't know whose they are but many resemble city names in game. I sent one invite out to a name that looked familiar and they didn't respond back at all, lol. Maybe they were freaked out by getting a message from someone they know nothing about or just didn't get it or deleted it as spam...who knows. My email address does not resemble my game name at all. It's weird how that info shows up though. I think it recognizes anyone in game at the time and just lists them. I think that's kind of a weird way to try to make friends. It's personal information with an email contact that some may not want shared. I don't want some weirdo emailing me..lol. I think most peeps are ok but you just never know. I however have not gotten a message at all and I guess you'd need to list your email here to let other gamers know..hey, I play and would like some friends, here's my email, it will be in your contacts list when I am in game. Jeez..what a hassle. I had to read the tutorial on it several times to actually understand how to get it going but I am not the most savvy techno person out there and I am a little concerned about just throwing my info out there but my address should be showing up in others contacts list if they have know how to use it. Lol. The flip side is if you get hooked up with some cool peeps then you can work together to advance much more quickly and a means of communications to accomplish goals.  I'll try it a few more times to see if it works but I can only friend folks with iOS. It won't cross over to android I don't think. Facebook just isn't something I support though playing solo isn't so bad anyway. Just a heads up.
