    Merlion, how many slots do you have ? 62 seaknights plus 30 blimps ? :eek:

    Anyway, the Merlionine Girl confirms that Merlion is a girl .... :p

    NICE ! Hmmm ... I wonder if we open airports at the northpole or south pole will we see the northern lights. Does one see the northern lights in the southern hemisphere?

    Hehe. That's exactly what happened. I had a cup of coffee too late last night and couldn't sleep! :)

    Merlion's new slogan doesn't suggest gender. Singapore's national airline's slogan is "Singapore girl, you're a good way to fly."

    Are any android users having a problem with # of event jobs not updating? For some reason mine is stuck at 20 jobs and hasn't changed several hours after doing more. The Mobage icon does appear in the left hand corner but...???

    62 Slots now. I've experimented with an all-Mapple fleet before, but never had an all-Blimp fleet (about 45 of these up & running). Will be interesting to see how the SKs work out.

    Sheriff Vic is a pessimist. Goes with the trade, I think :) Merlionine Airlines assures the world that service quality will not be affected. The new fleet, like the old one, will be fitted out with every imaginable luxury. (Including natural aircon, since traditionally one side of the plane is open :D ) So there is no need to worry. Likewise, our Priority Passenger Service will remain in place for bux-paying passengers. And we're working on a loyalty programme, so that coin paying passengers can save bux for that once-in-a-lifetime Merlionine Airlines pampered flight.

    The Merlionine Girl is an essential part of the Merlionine proposition. Admittedly we borrowed the idea from Singapore Airlines, but it works even better in the Pocket Planes world. Enjoy flying with us!

    Cheers,
    M.

    One sees the southern lights in the Southern Hemisphere. :)

    I am noticing a mystery parts shortage. I have my planes waiting in airports for mystery parts and I've only collected 8 so far. I had around 40 for the Seq event.

    If I ever dreamt that 3000 jobs would keep me off the podiumI never would have started this event! Don't you people have jobs??? Actually, I did like 1564 the first day, then I had to work for 22/48 hours. Considering I also have a life...ok a family, it severely crippled my pocket planes time. On top of all that, as I go to put myself back in the top 5 last night the right side of my glasses falls apart. No worry send the kid to buy some super glue. Squeeze to hard and a little goes on the lens. No worry get a wet wipe and clean. AHH, what the hell is the huge smudge all over my lens??? Turns out super glue offically ruins glass lenses or in my case plastic glass lenses. Such is life! Oh well... I'll be there next event! Great banter on these boards by the way, just caught up. We really do have some fun:Dny people here.

    No - you tend to see the Southern lights south of the equator ;).

    Not in this game, though - Punta Arenas is the southernmost city in the game, and that's too far north for the lights.

    I've done 1263 jobs and gotten 12 mystery parts. 7 bodies and 5 engines. I think the game is messing with me by holding back the controls.

    I must have missed Sheriff Vic's comments. What did he say that was pessimistic?

    Some advertising for Merlionine Airline:
    Merlionine Airlines's boasts of the freshest air along with its natural air conditioning. Indeed, doctors are prescribing a flight on MA's seaknights for its health benefits. Insomnia patients claim that the swaying motions and smoothing hum mimics the mother's womb and is sleep inducing.

    Another group of passengers that are enthralled by the seaknights are the photographers. The seaknight, which flies at a lower altitude allows the plane to get close to the scenic spots like that grand canyon. The slower speed compared to its mapple cousin is actually more desirable as it allows smoother video recording. The open door concept is a hit, as there is no obstruction now. As always, all passengers are reminded to keep their seatbelts fastened at all times.

    [Music] Merlionine Girl ... a great way to fly (I think anyone who stays in Singapore will know Singapore Girl :D ).

    Merlion going for all seaknight fleet ? :)

    I'm watching North and Snowbird playing leapfrog as I'm typing this. More coffee, Snowbird?

    Ok slight gloating mode, i've now got 7 complete Sea Knights plus 3 extra engines and another 6-7 parts on the way. I'm hoping for a nice haul of Sea Knights to play with soon. I'm glad I had to stick with my bux sitting due to a slight miscalculation of how many I needed as it seems to have worked very well for part collection.

    And by the way at the minute I have a plan for all my SK's so won't be giving away any parts at least until the end of the event when I see what I have spare so please don't ask for parts or planes on the forum or by PM. I will do some sort of giveaway later if I do have any spare bits.

    With 62 slots and 62 planes in the airpedia have you thought about being the first known person to have 62 different planes in the air at once? That would be a cool achievement.

    I'm having problems with nimble bit updating my delivery status. I had closed down Tiksi awhile ago after delivering 50% of the necessary amount to qualify for the Arctic Exposure award. Now that I have more planes, money, and time, I decided to reestablish a route there and finish the award. However, no matter how many planes I deliver there, the Award section shows me still stuck at 50%.

    Question: am I essentially starting over from scratch and now have to deliver 100 more planes, or is just it simply a glitch and I will never make it to the award?? Thanks for any help.
