    I think I hit the wall with this game. I have no motivation. :(

    I tried Battle Nations. Saw it on one of these advertisements. Only played it about 20 minutes before I got bored.

    Pocket planes forever!

    It looks like its going to be neck to neck till the end. The cool thing is your both in the same time zone so there's no advantage there. Penguin, with only 7 BUX to speed planes back to base, do you think that will be the difference? I don't know what the Popes BUX situation is. GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF YOU.

    ( I should have said neck and neck)

    It's a nail biter till the end.


    My daughter likes Candy Crush, among a bunch of other IOS games ... it's hard to find time to fling planes when she commanders the phone ... Hey, whose phone is it anyway? :rolleyes:

    I also play Dragonvale. And Mafia Wars on Facebook, although I've taken a break from it these past few days.

    What strategy did you use to accomplish this? I ask because I can't even come close to this. I'm running tokyo, Beijing, shang, Mumbai, rio, sao, la, ny, kinasha, and istanbul. They dropoff in London.

    Nah, take a break. You'll be happy to come back ;)
    The problem with TA1 and MOFOs is that sometimes it begins to feel like work lol. Well, it shouldn't!
    But surely some new content/Ui enhancement/bug fixes would help :rolleyes:

    Tu quoque mi Northi!

    This CAndy crush game seems like the Devil lol, not downloading it :eek:

    I'm still playing Pixel People 10 minutes a day, and checking on NimbleQuest and Tiny Tower.. also some other less iOs casual games now and then (Block Fortress, StarCommand, BlockHeads, Plague Inc, Crabitron, KingCashing2,some board games like Ticket to Ride...)
    Not even sure the XBOX has been on more than twice this year... and I have dozens of good games to play there :-/

    The thing is, Pocket planes is perfect now that I don't have often a full hour to play games. I know I can play a few minutes, or half an hour. I can play casually while watching the kiddo play nearby. It still has enough depth to be interesting in the long run, but doesn't require 100% focus when playing.
    And it doesn't make you feel like you HAVE to play every day if you don't want to.
    It's a bit like Twitter lol :D

    It's amazing what a break can do - I had no motivation to play PP for about a week not so long ago; I'm still not sure if I've regained that motivation. (I did the Rio event in a half-assed way and am sitting out the Windhoek challenge altogether.)

    Dang pope! I don't know what you started doing different. But you've done over. 2300 jobs in 3 hours.

    I can't keep up with that. We've been neck and neck this whole time, but 800 jobs an hour is a pace I just can't match.

    Closer to 4 hours, I couldn't get GC to update for the life of me between 6-7:30am. But yes, I pulled out all the stops ;-) I'm at work now and can't come close to that pace, but don't get too comfortable!

    Edit: Are you sure it's 2300 jobs? I thought I woke up to just around 10k, and Vic's update (when I was still sleeping at 4am or so) shows ~9800. PP shows me at 11,800-ish at the moment.

    I only have ~5 min before I can reload my guns for Windhoek so I gotta make this fast ;) My standard layout was LA, Chi, NY, London, Paris, Tehran, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai, Sao Paulo, Rio. I also added in San Fran, Phoenix and Osaka for flavor, and at one point had a route to Anadyr and Nome. I skipped all bux jobs <2 to save time to allow me to get through all cities within the 5 min refresh. i.e. Once I hit cities in the list that wouldn't give 2 or more, I stopped scrolling. At every refresh, Aero-Ms flew between London and Paris to swap out layovers. London and Paris acted as the layover dumps.

    Hilarious!

    My setup is less complicated.

    2 airports. Kinshasa and Windhoek. Full upgrades and advertising.

    Buying and selling livingstone and Lobito between standard refreshes. Boosting planes back as fast as I can.

    That setup I posted was for bux-sitting.

    Alright Popester. I give up.

    @630 AM I was around 9600 and you were around 9800. Currently I'm at 12,200 and you're over 13,000.

    Well done.

    Ok it's pretty crazy 8-/
    If you look at the Top 10 crews, #10 crew is at 3124 jobs done
    In TA1 top10, the #8 player is at 3126 jobs done...
    We are a good bunch here who could just be in the top10 crews just by ourselves lol :D
