So, does it rub anyone else the wrong way when their is a task that only needs 5 characters, but once you have chosen the 5 you cannot use the unemployment office to send everyone else out in a differently timed task?

BTW, you can edit your post.
And even when you manually click all the characters the task list automatically goes right to the top with the task highlighted in 'yellow' so when you want to send your characters on 12 or 24 hour tasks you have to scroll down on each one. Too much effort!
Yes, but I can't send all my characters on a one hour task when there is a 4 hour task mandated by the game. I have to send each character individually, just like in the old days before the unemployment office.
Me too. I love to see all those characters clown car-ing out of one building when you clear it.
Was disappointed this morning when I didn't get the normal explosion when clearing the task. Too much lag.
I agree with you. When the times line up with what I want, it isn't an much of a deal but I wanted to put them on one hour tasks as well.
I've mentioned this before, but it did happen again today, landed in a neighbours town who had the workbench next to the excavation site landing point and there was like 200 people just pouring out the place, you know straight away that said neighbour was doing the task, but I've since found out that it could've been one of at least two parts of the quest line... Was fun to pause and watch for it a minute
As other people mention though, I love to see all my people clear en masse, but today and tomorrow I've go the luxury of being able to log in every hour and it's frustrating trying to make money while I can but then having to wait while five of them clear the task.... doing the trick tonight like sjsebayacc131 of sending five on task and 8hr for the rest... so I can do 60m tasks tomorrow...
Apart from Cecil....twice when I've got my rhythm going and setting everyone on tasks I've caught his 'Spend $1m' by accident.... He's either gonna end up in storage for a while or on a 24hr task..... My own fault for not using the employment centre I suppose, but i'm so stingy I feel that the 1,200-1,300 IGC could be saved for other things and I've got time to task my 100 or so people anyway, so why not...
You were a new player once too, ya know.
It's still happening and still very annoying. I had to go through and skin ally premium skin characters this morning.
It's a bee-itch to go through 100 plus characters, when the unemployment office is supposed to set tasks for you. someonewashere, had a post covering the same topic, wondering why EA can't just make the dumb thing able to assign other tasks after the "make Springfielders do xyz" stuff is fulfilled by manually entering tasks. Or conversely, why can't the unemployment just assign all Springfielders to the one task, instead of none? I guess it's not possible or just not a priority to fix. I hate getting the "make Springfielders do xyz" tasks now, because it is such a pain.
