bigbridge59, I'll try to help you with your first set of questions in your post #604
If, I have a town with little popularity say 50-400, and on the 7-9 job level. Or even if I have a business that is on level 10. If I look at my timer box, they are still blue in color which I assume that my business has not been "franchised" yet.
- Read post #236. I answered you there. Blue means you bought the business. Purple means you visited someone and franchised (think of it as if franchise=purchase) a business
while you were visiting in their town.
People send me a gift which shows up as a "gift Box" .
- That is a whole different thing. Someone sent you a gift.
The steps how you can send a gift: 1 visit any town. 2. click a business. A description screen pops up and there is a green oval at the bottom that says "Send a Gift". 3.You click the green oval, and you can send a variety of items: coins, 2X, population, blue stars, etc. The kind of gift you are allowed to send is dependent on the level of the business that you clicked. 4.select an item. 5. click send gift
My higher popularity business people my send me a gift box or sometimes it shows up as "the oval with hands shaking whick I am sure that that business just had been "franchised".
- The oval with shaking hands means someone just visited your town and franchised your business. This is a whole separate game feature from sending gifts.
CAN my lower number popularity business become a "Franchise" at any point in time or at any level?
- Yes, any time and at any level. Someone just has to visit your town and buy any one (or more) of your businesses.
I see where people write, "I have beem just franchised". What exactly does that mean.?
- Someone else has visited his/her town and franchised a business from his/her town.
Hopefully this helps.
