Weekly Mayors Competition Problems
The new competition versus other mayors each week is supposed to be pitting us against "100 mayors of the same city level" yet my bracket is dominated by 40s and there's even a level 73! Not to menti...

There needs to be some kind of in game moderator to remove those using cheats. In my current league a city named Valtapolis reached around 29,000 within a few hours of the league starting. This is probably only possible with unlimited amounts of Sim cash. Surely it would be possible for EA to confirm that the player is using cheats and bar them from the leagues?
You don't have to cheat to get in the 20,000's. I ended up with 17K last week. I just chose the highest value assignment each time. 2 of with were 3K each. Speed up tokens make it a lot easier to get an assignment done that are just basic "build x number of items" types. I completed a 1500K task in 5 minutes and only had to use 16 bucks of sim cash. it was a "complete 2 deliveries to Paris" assignment and I had a plane currently there then completed it, used 16 sim bucks and had the next plan arrive early and then completed that
If you are in the middle of one assignment and you see that the highest lvl assignment still left is for example "Produce and Collect 15 Tables" then you need to have the nails and wood planks built up so that that as soon as your current assignment is done you start the next one and you already have the materials for it. you then use a cheetah speed up tokes and you have those tables done i less than an hour.
@mbrown2626 You don't have to wait till you start the assignment to start building the items. As long as you don't collect them until after you start the assignment it will count. I did this with 3 different assignments this time around.
In my case, it wanted 36 Electronic components in one assignment, 17 drills in another and 15 couches in a 3rd. I started all 36 components, 6 drills and 4 couches all at the same time, but I did not start any assignments. I also started or bought enough of other components to needed to build the rest of them... While they were building I did other assignments like..... Launch 2 disasters. Launched, fixed and launched again while those were building. I think I did 3 different assignments while the EC's were building. Once the EC's were ready to collect, I started the assignment, collect all 36 EC's and collected my 1700 in less than a minute then moved on to the drills. Now that I had enough EC for the drills, they were simple, just load up store (which has max slots opened) and throw a cheetah on it. Continue working other assignments while those are building....
You have to be VERY careful to not collect any by accident. It can be ready to collect and count, so you don't have to make everything from scratch after you start the assignment.
As a side note, I've never seen an assignment worth 3000. My highest assignment was the 15 couches at 2500. Although I didn't have any other assignments that were even above 2000. Most are all under 1000.
- At lvl 19 I have no Epic buildings, no speed up tokens, and I am leading my league without spending a single sim cash or cheats.
What I do have however is fully expanded land, beach, airport and 7 upgraded factories. VU tower at lvl 16 and my storage holds 500 items. I have played since mid October. You reap what you sow, if you run up the levels it affects your cash flow and makes it harder to get the expansion items you need.
I choose assignments I need to progress in my city. I only do 190 metal for example after my inventory is emptied out. Disasters only when needed as an assignment. London/Paris assignments only when needed to, and I upgrade residents only when I have an assignment to do so.
I spend all my coins on improving my city. I invest in the best, pollution is kept to a minimum.
Yes, my style is a slow and strategic one, but I am finding this contest a doddle at the moment. I plan everything beforehand and only do high point assignments. I am looking forward to see how the next league up works.
