Discussions about Neighborhood Chains Contest

[jeemersmom]

Given complaints about the NCC, both posted and messaged between neighbors, I'd like to make a suggestion. While on the "My Neighborhood Chains" tab, we can see the number of factories our chain has in each category. Providing this information on the "Competing Neighborhoods" tab would assure everyone that they are competing on a level playing field.

Hi jeemersmom

Im not sure that could be done as no matter the ten Neighborhoods are chosen by their strengh and similar amount of facilities, then farmers can add more facilities during the next days.

Anyway, if you want to make a suggestion, please post it in our Suggestion section where we have all ideas grouped by theme for the developers to read.

You cant start a new thread there, but you can post as a reply to a thread that fits with your idea.

Hi Mom Glenda,
The only way they can pick who you compete with is randomly by the number of facilities you and your neighbors have in the contest at the time the group is picked.

I managed to get into third place in NCC. The person in 2nd place has almost twice the number of points (my 11 mil to her 20 mil) and the one in 1st place has 24 mil. I don't know how the selection is done but this is not a fair competition.

Hi DeniseDJ

You enrolled the NCC on Thursday so the neighborhoods for you were chosen on Saturday.

By the time they were chosen you may all had similiar strengh. But that doesnt mean each neighborhood cant do anything more.
Not all farmers join the NCC on Thursday, there are a lot who join on Saturday and Sunday, and also each farmer can add more facilities after the neighborhoods have been chosen.

What is the correct strategy? Should I not join until Sunday?

Hi Denise

I cant tell you which strategy you may choose. I have always entered the NCC on Thursdays as soon as I load the game during my morning. Sometimes, I get 1 cash, other times 2 cash, and this week Im on fifth place and I havent done anything different.

The neighborhood is not only you, it is you and all your neighbors. Same for the other 9 neighborhoods. That means that sometimes, your neighbors could be able to add more facilities, or post and refill them faster, or some of them went on holidays and you have less neighbors, it is not always the same, you only have to try different things.

My experience pretty much the same as yours. I finished in third place this week. 2nd place had twice as many points as I did. I think I will try not joining until Saturday. I will report my findings! lol

I don't even bother with it beyond popping in to collect any winnings.
