    Im back in the game in a last ditch effort to keep it on my phone, and the jobs arent blue and it seems that no other flight crew is showing up. Glitch?

    Glad to see you back Kit :)

    Seems a major glitch atm.

    I'm just trying the only thing I haven't re jobs atm (sending normal jobs out of Jeruselum) if that fails I'm just goin to wait for NB to flick the blue switch.

    I've sent stuff both into and out of Jerusalem and nothing's counting. I guess we just have to wait for NB to flick the switch, but - with it being *works it out* 3.40am in the American west coast - this may be some time this afternoon/evening.

    Hi all!
    I just joined and waded in on the South America event. Came in at position 64 for the first time, so am happy with that considering the posts I have read - wow you guys are way far ahead in the planes and level, it's daunting. Can someone tell me how the prizes get handed out? I believe I may have got something - I think. Where do they appear, how does this work?
    Also is there a tried and true method for starting these events? I'm USA (and South America after the event now) and want to wade in on the Jerusalem event but trying to figure out how to get started WAY over there.

    Thanks

    I'll bet it was a NB screw-up, but it would be cool if the event jobs came from only certain cities, or one city. The fact that MP are out there makes me think they messed up.

    The prizes are handed out automatically at the end of the event, in my experience usually an hour or so after closing. So for the last event you should have automatically had a new Supergopher parked in your hangar.

    I would say that getting loads to Jerusalem for the USA rather depends on the planes you have at your disposal. You say that you are new to the group but not the level at which you are playing. If you have planes with enough range then I would say that you could easily set up a hub in probably Cairo or Tehran, park some class 1s in there and ferry across with your bigger stuff. You would also need an entry point which again would depend on your planes. When operating class 2s I ran Boston or New York into Madrid, and then changed to New York to London or Paris when I went class 3 only.

    I hope some of this helps.

    Now the leader board shows a group in first with 12 jobs delivered, how ??
    Nimblebit really must have screwed up big time on this one

    I skipped the Bariloche event entirely, and now it seems that NimbleBit is skipping the Jerusalem event...

    (not that I want another Huey but at least it's slightly usable unlike, say, a SuperGopher)

    Not Alone: reply to Snowbird

    Oh, good! I'm SO glad I'm not alone!!! For the previous job we just finished, I joined the #Nimblebit flight crew because I wanted (and NEEDED) the 20 bux and not a stupid Supergopher. I think "we" ended up in 20th place or something, going as far up as 17th place so I'm pretty sure that's an excellent strategy that I'll start using.

    (that is, if the 1st place prize is something lame, I'll join another flight crew - probably Nimblebit - to earn a different prize for that round, then return to #TouchArcade)

    ANYWAY - I'm sitting here playing the game at almost 8am in Colorado - and notice that #TouchArcade isn't number one?!?!?! Currently we're ranked #3! This is unheard of! At first I thought there was something wrong because I just switched back to the crew. So I Googled it and found Snowbird's post. THANK GOODNESS! :D I'm like, WHERE ARE ALL THE JOBS?! :confused::confused::confused:

    Anybody else having this issue???

    (btw I joined the forum like 5 minutes ago JUST so I could reply to his post! lol) :p

    Neither are mine - and it's annoying, since I've got several planes waiting in Istanbul to ferry jobs to Jerusalem.

    Somebody at NB has really dropped a clanger on this one.

    Nope, there's items too: I've just had a look and there's a menorah that wants delivering.
