Hi Qivis

If you got the rewards and the new contest for this week has started then there is no way to go back to thank your friends.

Hi Jetdogy,
I moved your post to the thread about the Neighborhood Chains Contest (NCC). You can find all the information about this contest in the Game Guide chapter 31:

That contest would have nothing to do with your PC locking up on large farms.

Why are neighbors that I KNOW are playing NCC all day and night long contributing so FEW points to my total? These are people who regularly finish in 1st or 2nd place, yet I get less than 20K points from them, on average, in games where the winning neighborhoods have over 30 MILLION points. One of them even told me that she knows how the "algorithm" works! What does that even mean?! I don't get it.

Hi KoalaBear,
Yoou contribute to your contest at a much higher rate than your neighbors do because of the way it is set up. This might explain it:


How points are calculated:

• Each XP your neighbour earns contributes 1 point.
• Each XP you earn, will contribute as many points as the number of neighbours you have participating in the contest.

  Example:

  • If you have 100 neighbours in the contest and each of them earn 1 XP, then your neighborhood score will be 1 * 100 = 100 points.
  • Then if you earn 1 XP yourself, this will add 1 * 100 = 100 points to your neighborhood score.
  • 100 (your neighbours score) plus 100 (your score) gives you a total score of 200.

  
  This makes your individual effort as important as the total combined effort of all your neighbours in the contest.

So it seems like they are not contributing high enough amounts compared to what you are contributing.

That doesn't explain why some of them contribute several hundred thousand points to my total and end up in the same 1st or 2nd place as the one who only contributed 20K points. I see both of them continuously online, continuously posting facility requests and continuously refilling their facilities. I know because I work them! It Doesn''t make sense.

Hi KoalaBear,
It depends on how many of the NCC facilities they have in the contest. You may have somebody who is on line all day and refills and posts often but it they only have 1 or 2 of the facilities for the contest then they are not going to contribute a lot. You may have others who have many more facilities in the contest and they will contribute higher amounts.

I have been removed from playing the 7 day game until the next game starts as rejected or something. I paid my cash coins to buy one of the facilities. I am quite upset about this as I play every week and am always buying cash to buy facilities. Can you please fix my farm Jaxon where I purchased the orphanage.
Thank you!

Hi pbcarol

I moved your post to the thread about NCC.

I'm sorry but we can't fix anything about your NCC. The only rule for the Neighborhood Chain contest is that you can't move a facilitiy from one farm to another. If you do, then you are quitted from the NCC for that week.

From our Game Guide:

IMPORTANT: Once the facilities are entered into the contest you must NOT move them to storage or to another farm. If you do, you will see a warning message that tells you that you are in the contest and that storing the facility will make you abandon this weeks contest . If you proceed, the facility will be removed from the farm, and you will be terminated from that weeks contest. In order to remain in the contest, the facilities that are part of a Neighbourhood Chain must remain on the farm during the whole week of the contest.

Yesterday I bought an orphanage, I went to neighborhood chains and it showed up so I filled the orphanage as needed. Today neighborhood chains shows no Orphanage but I went to the farm it is on and there it is.
How an I make sure the Orphanage is available to add to my neighborhood chain?
thank you
