We're not getting a clear picture of competition with some people contributing to the same team. I love the contest, just wish, with the 2.5 million players that FT has, the game would be able to be more fair to everyone. Maybe not all the people are playing, and I'm sure the game has lost competitors when they see what's happening. And that's a shame. Just trying to assure the fairness. Don't need the lecture. That's not why I wrote to the forum. I only wanted to give you information that you may not have otherwise.

Hi NJones,
I have moved these posts to the General Feedback discussion about the NCC as they are not about a specific problem such as a missing facility.
The NCC is as fair as they can make it as far as choosing the competing teams. There isn't any other way they can choose who competes against who. The changes they are working on if they can be done should balance out the competition some and give everyone a better chance to win.
Those who have a high amount of facilities and neighbors or an extremely low number of facilities and neighbors will tend to be competing against some of their neighbors on occasion. There just are not that many in those two groups to compete against. There isn't any way around that unless they allow a wider spread in total facilities and that caused problems in the beginning for unfair competition.
