    Same here. This event feels like Vegas part 2. I'm out.

    And it's not just the freezing up. I still get kicked out of the game on a regular basis. Dragonvale does that regularly too.

    Funny. Nobody seems to mind when someone else just delivered 1525 jobs over a 2 hour span. Double standards here. :-/ So there's another reason.

    What kind of a set up does it take to do 760+ Class One jobs an hour? Wow.

    Edit: wouldn't worry about any comments like that. All I know is that you and 'Zoo crush the end of events. It's evident that you go all out until the timer hits 0:00 - it takes you half the day at least to clean up leftover jobs.

    I on the other hand almost always start clearling all event layovers with a half day left in each event. It drives me crazy to have to deliver jobs without getting credit.

    LOL

    I have seen so many people go "undercover" so I figured I would try it. :D

    Personally I don't like that style of play but when it happens to you I say give it a try.

    Happy flying.

    I am going back to undercover mode......... Or am I

    I finally get my first glimpse of the top ten only to find out I'm 4K behind Undercover Gus and 3K behind The Stayer. Great..

    Man did I get off to a slow start.

    I would think so - my dilemma is trying to fill them. Seems like it takes forever to get 17 slots filled.....

    I can prolly deliver 450 to 750 to San Diego in one hour if I stay focused on that one task. I'm easily distracted, so staying focused is a challenge for me. I can prolly deliver more than 750 if I gave up playing Mafia Wars. Whatever you do, DO NOT play Mafia Wars. It sucks YEARS from your life. With so many overlapping events and other "housekeeping" tasks, you can easily play it 24/7 and still not get everything done. :(

    My fleet is always a mess after an event and it takes me more than half a day to clear off layovers. Sometimes I think I'm done, close the city, and then discover one or more big planes that are full of old event jobs.

    I was really surprised during the Bergen event. I flew planes out of London and Paris, thinking I'd have one airport if the other closed. Well neither airport ever closed on me during the Bergen event. I think LA closed once during the Las Vegas event. Or maybe it was San Diego. The two events sorta blurred together.

    I have a love and hate relationship with my Cloudliners. I just can't bring myself to put them in the hangar after they cost so much to add them to my fleet and upgrade them. So I'm stuck with these Clouds. It feels kinda like owning a reliable Honda Accord, you're stuck with it when you really want an Audi R8 V10 as your everyday car.

    I've seen many others do that but they never get singled out for it.
    You just delivered 3000 jobs in the last 3 hours. Nice. :D
    Name your favorite submarine movie...

    Crazy week here. My best friend is moving away on Sunday and is spending time here at my house & the pool since they closed on their house & son works through Saturday. Hard to find time to fly planes. Hoping to make it back up. O the top 10....without going underwater...LOL...unless it's in the pool ;).

    I thought that was bunk too. I have no problem with you dropping as many as you wish to in the last hour. Some call it sand badging, but it repeatedly is your strategy...so it's not like they don't already know it is coming. Always going to be haters.

    Wow...that was a very un-conspiracy like statement.

    Hi there welcome to the board. Best thing to do is look at the second tab on my signature this has loads of links to useful information saves you having to read through all the pages on this forum.
    900 profit seems a little low, a Pearjet should be able to get that easily on one flight if you use them right. The best bit of advice I can give past that is to try and branch out from the area you are in and set up some longer routes getting more profit, try and get Class 3 (red dot) airports as they produce more jobs than others. I would also recommend if possible getting some Aeroeagles to replace your pearjets, they produce better profit. I would give you some but I am on Android. I'm sure others on here will pass on advice too, happy flying

    I actually went off the radar at 9AM EST yesterday and came back on the radar when I wrote the submarine story. It was a little over two hours. LOL

    Hunt for red October

    The first off the grid was a little longer than stated as well.

    I thought you guys used iPhones, do you really put it on airplane mode for a while just for PP??
    Or go to a deep cave? ;)

    You mean people actually turn on airplane mode, open PP, fling, close PP, turn off airplane mode???

    That's lame in my opinion. Why would you want to go stealth like that?? Just saying...

    Seems shady...
