    Shoot! Guys hurry up we're in third place with fkg 4000 jobs behind! And LOL by the way TA has only 37 000 jobs, we have 7000. What's going on? Is everyone weak now?

    I think it's because the top prize is bux while the top ten gets a starship part, which is more valuable. Maybe more TA members are jumping ship to other crews?

    I'm doing the best I can.. Work catastrophe and cranky baby hasn't helped...

    But i can see how sea knights would be beneficial here.. and I just noticed that i can stage events jobs in Boston, NYC, and Philly amongst my active airports.

    I may also take my fogbuster-p out of service to get another kangaroo or a donated seaknight. :)

    Looks like they've widened the gap, we're nearly 6500 jobs behind.

    1. 49,949 TA
    2. 15,836
    3. 9,421 TA1
    4. 7,097


    I have some blank spots on my leaderboard, who is #2 with 644 jobs? and #7 with 408 jobs?

    They may be Android players I guess, and we won't see their names.

    About the gap, I got an explanation:
    The most difficult or far away the event is, then the more difficult it is to do thousand of jobs each, and so the more important the sheer numbers of players is.

    In this event, it's impossible to do more than 2 or 3000 jobs each, even a thousand is hard work, because it takes a lot of time doing round trips to iqaluit.
    So the average jobs per Ta1 player is much lower than usual.
    Whereas in other crews with hundreds of members, the majority are still doing their usual 50/100 jobs minimum. So their average job count is only a bit lower.
    Ie we're screwed lol

    I'd go for it. I've just done my first big exchange at 8000, and was able to instantly add some much needed flexibility with the extra plane slots. I was going to go earlier but I kept chickening out. The additional plane slots really help and you will put the bux back pretty quickly. I've already put back about 800 in a couple of days of bits and pieces playing. If you really go for it you'll get them back in no time.

    X10 Mapple Pro

    NimbleBit helped me get the Mac version of the game synced with my iCloud save. So that means I now have access to the most pointlessly restricted (but not rare) plane in the game! And I want to pass on that access to all of you. So starting now I will be taking orders for X10 Mapple Pro parts. I would like to ask that for the first round, those of you with a Mapple in your fleet already wait until the 2nd round so we can give others a chance to get at least one Mapple up and running.

    Please DM me your parts request and I will add it to the list below.

    THIS IS NOT A TRADE REQUEST. I do not want any parts in trade from anyone asking for mapple parts.

    Restrictions: In order to get parts from me in each round, you must:
    1. Be in the #TOUCHARCADE1 Flight Crew
    2. Have connected with me on GC prior to the round starting
    3. Have not received more than 2 parts from the previous round

    Rounds will last 2 job cycles (basically one week, from Sat to Sat), unless it takes me longer to fulfill the current round's orders. I will announce when a new round is starting and link back to this message. You are limited to requesting one of each Mapple part type per round unless you got 3 parts in the previous round.

    ---------------------------------------------------------
    Waiting List (GC Name - Parts Requested):


    ---------------------------------------------------------
    Completed List (GC Name - Parts Delivered):
    igerera - E, C, B (round 1)
    roboroboto - E, C, B (round 1)
    jdrawmer - E, C, B (round 1)
    spike3187 - E, C, B (round 1)
    thisisina - E, C, B (round 1)
    leapingliz42 - E, C, B (round 1)
    perfect trumpet - E, C, B (round 1)

    Hello All.

    I have been playing with the #toucharcade team for the past three challenges (Bariloche, Jeruselem, and the biz meeting in Chengdu.)

    Now, I came to see if this one to Iqaluit would give mystery parts. I guess it doesn't. The fire was pretty lame, I really didn't need a supergopher-p!!!


    I see some of you do 'trading' so I will introduce myself, and my stock. Personally I find the pearjet to be a nice plane. Its fast and i can always fill it up for 25% bonus. Opinions?


    Anyway, here is my stats:

    Navigator-C Engine

    Fogbuster-M Body

    Also, my other question, when you open a new airport - is it always the same part in the same airport for all users, or is it random what part you get?


    Anyway, nice to meet you all :)

    How very nice of you! I already have a trio of Mapples, so I won't be requesting your help at the moment. But thank you for the offer, Slightlynorth! :)

    Puzzled - anyone know why Nimblebit would send me an Aeroeagle-P?

    It just came out of the blue

    I don't think that was me, unless I misclicked. I have only sent mapple parts to Figment (igerera) so far.

    As far as I know, we can't send full planes to eachother, just parts. So it likely came direct from NimbleBit as a surprise gift. They seem to be sending those out today for some reason!
