I think it will depend on where it is located cuz I'm going Bux broke re-arranging my fleet each time a new one begins, spending more Bux than the Bux prize for the event.
It's a mystery Actually, it's a tall gold cargo box with an exclamation point on it. And it's colored orange (like a global event person/cargo is blue)
There's a screen shot in this post showing what the Mystery Part looks like: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showpost.php?p=2365795&postcount=5677
Train, you got your wish. This new event is a blimp. I've never had a blimp, only heard you all talking about it. Still ExtremelyNorth to me: I'm in shock when I saw Faye's post of the top 10 that someone is ahead of you. I cannot imagine delivering 2k jobs per hour. How to even get that many jobs? And even if you have the jobs AND the planes, your fingers/iPad/iPod/iPhone must be fast enough to allow you to send them off. Now I'm thinking of strategy ideas. This is one thing I like about PP. Each new event forces me to think about new strategies. E.g. Mohawk or kangeroo (I don't have any)
I like Mohwaks, they fly faster and look better. I got 2 Cs on this mission already. And 2 Ps. Oh yay! Can't do anymore. I hope to make a good profit when my aero and pearjet start brining in event stuff from Europe Also, has anyone gotten the rewards for the last event yet? I understand it can take a few hours, but... the new one already started. And I'm paranoid Edit: @CastlePage - I have a spare Airvan C that I can send you. Has the same capacity as Mohawk and is cheaper to operated... it's slower but not as slow as the Roo. Yes, I am noob. I won't even mention the Navigators in my hangar. Oh wait...
[very excitedly] I SAW A MYSTERY PART !!! I was going through the my list passengers/cargo and saw an orange line in the midst of blue lines. BTW, before I load the plane, I didn't see it at the airport (I checked that there's 4 min before new job, unload it, see it at airport view, then load it again).
LOL, I haven't started sending anything, so yes for the very first time I'm seeing Faye at #6 with 24jobs, Vic Sark at #8 with 23 jobs and Teodor2004 at #10 with 19 jobs. North: if you are not upset at my renaming you as Supremely/Extremely North, please add CastlePage at GC.
You dont need speed on this event. A round trip from New york to Ottawa takes 9 minutes. I send my Seq M`s to New york and let the Roos take them the rest of the way. I might throw 4-5 seq`s in the hangar and let my aero`s send jobs from the class 2 cities in the us.
The problem with this event is the proximity to NY. I do not want to sit here all night babysiting Roos back and forth between cities!!! I'm going to continue with my North America to Asia long distance runs and drop off Ottawa jobs as they pass through NY.
Teodor and Varza: You are too generous. I have 5 mohawks in my hangar. Got them for the Easter Island event sometime ago. I was wondering whether to re-use them (3 capacity) or get kangeroo (4 capacity). I'm lvl 28 with 19 plane slots. I'm still in the stage of chasing coins and bux (same as KitFisto22). Is it more profitable to do long journeys (e.g. Tokyo/seoul to newyork/chicago, or should I concentrate on North America since the global event is at Ottawa? For the last Bangalore event, I let chicago/newYork to "rot" and concentrated on traffic from Seoul/Tokyo and London/Paris. Aside: 1. had to laugh at sending Tiny Tower to Mumbai for 3 bux. I haven't closed Mumbai yet. 2. Wonderful feeling seeing the mystery part on the plane crossing the Atlantic to New York Edit: 1. Mystery part arrived safely in Ottawa. A blimp control 2. Teodor: Received mohawks with much thanks
I should do the same. I have about 400k coins and i should save up for slot 21, but after you added me on GC a couple days ago ive been playing Virtual city playground alot. I found it in your gameslist and i wish i didnt try it. Its to addictive. How many planes do you send to ottawa? I can see that you are in 1st place. Where are you from? Its 1045 am here in Norway so the sunday events are perfect for me.
My mystery part is 31 minutes away from New york so it should be in Ottawa in 35 minutes. How many mystery parts have you found?
Total scores in top 10 so far: 1: 118 2: 117 3: 115 4: 90 5: 80 6: 80 7: 75 (Me) 8: 64 9: 57 10: 56 first time in top 10, very happy
Heh, you don't want to know how much my next plane slot cost . . . . nearly 10 million!!! But I don't see myself buying any additional plane slots, 28 planes keeps my busy enough. I stopped playing PP for the night, but I'm pretty sure SlightlyNorth was ranked #1 the last time I looked. I'll probably drop down quite a bit after I go to bed (any minute now, it's 2AM in California) as Ottawa is an easy city for people to rack up a bazillion jobs. I haven't played Virtual City in a long time. Most of the games you see listed in GC are the ones my daughter plays, all those Hello Kitty games are really not my thing. LOL .
