    Taking it easy in this event as it's almost guaranteed that we will lose electricity when Hurricane Sandy meanders its way up the Mid-Atlantic coast tonight. I might have to beg for balloon parts if I can't assemble the full plane before then!

    Echo the others with the stay safe Coastcat!

    I'm loving the being able to see names instead of numbers this time, would normally have started to get bored already, but chasing names is keeping me hooked on crew jobs!

    Dudette, actually. :p Thanks everyone - we won't be in the direct impact area (current forecasts say it will hit a bit to the north), but this will be a nasty lingering storm with high winds and heavy rains for many hours. We can recharge our iPhones in our cars, but PP is such a battery-draining game that I'd rather not launch it until we're back to normal.

    Nokitano, thank you for the balloon parts! Let me know if you need anything.

    Hi 5 Nicole. Waiting for u to overtake me.

    TA1 is like running a relay race. We pass the baton from one time zone to another :)

    Jonesy: you're caught up well within the Top 10 :)

    Coastcat: I think you'll have a surplus of parts by Wed. I'm waiting to see you in the Top 10 tomorrow. I expect that I'll be somewhere below when I wake up.

    I have an even ratio of passenger to cargo ratio amongst my small planes. But for some strange reason, I have a surplus of cargo jobs and insufficient passenger jobs.

    Are "mystery part"s anything special or just a random part?

    Anyone got any tips for finding mystery parts? Other than the cycling through the airports (which I am doing)

    Got San Diego advertised, check all my airports, delivered 170 jobs to San Diego and have I don't know how many lay overs, but still not found a single mystery part.

    lol :)
    You may use the trade thread after the event, or even now to even your parts ;)
    http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=139281&page=373

    No, you're doing good.
    The odds are 1 vs 100, but ONLY ON CARGO.
    If you want to incresae your odds, use only M or C planes.
    Having delivered 170 jobs means half cargo, so you should get some soon.

    Sometimes I got 2 very close, sometime nothing for a long time. That's the random factor, but on the long run, you should get some around the probability, even slightly more if you check often your airports.

    I got 7 (5 bodies lol) for 938 jobs right now, so less than the odds.

    And don't forget to use the trade thread to even your parts at the end of the event ;)


    The code name for our baby was MiniDude before knowing boy/girl :)

    Weather the storm coastcat! :D

    Yeah, I'd like to know too. It would be cool if the crew members try to upload leaderboards screen captures (possible on the TA app now) so we can see the standings at all brackets!

    Upgrade your big airports. Other than that, it's down to luck.
