Collecting rent at red lights !!!!

Why don't you take it with you like I do. You not need Internet to collect jobs. You just need it to visit other towns, do check ins and buy stuff. I collect rent at red lights

I know soon there will be mt2a meetings lol


Bickel !!!
Hay
I take mine everywhere with me and play.
1- when your Internet surrounds, DO NOT shut or close out your game at anytime when your in an area that has no signal or Internet service. If you do you will loose the game. Your points will still add up. Some of your business offer free Internet service. I take mine everywhere and keep playing , even at ballgames etc. And what ever you do, don't let it get in the hands of kids or significant other or u will loose the game for sure......WARNING.....HANDS OFF.....LOL LOL
 
I would like to thank candyland, sventown, stafa2.0 and mycamp for their consistent contributions in franchising my businesses. Could never have so many bucks if it wasn't for these folks. But more in particular, candyland. You have franchised everyday since you started. You have proved yourself to be a community favorite around here and i wish I could do more for you than just send you population. Everyday I will continue to send people, and I am one of your biggest fans.

Thanks again, and keep up the good work with the community. You are a MT2 star!! :)

Thanks for this reply. it's pretty clear. i don't want to sell any businesses, but I'd like to sell subway stops (-8K population), so that would take me from like 238, to 230K.
---> Yes, your population will drop to 230K IF you do not own any Wonders. Remember, if you have a Wonder that gives +20%, the population loss will be 8K +20%, or 9,600 and each additional SE will make the deduction greater.

The last threshold (for a new business) was at 237. Will that still be the new threshold, or will the threshold stay at the previously higer one - 267K?
Does my question make sense? I really want to know if the threshold gets lowered as you sell non business stuff below the last one.
---> I'm not entirely understanding your question...but I'll try to answer...If your population drops to lower than the next level you will need to build it back up to the specified level before you can buy the next business.
As far as I can see, the thresholds are independent of what the players do, since by buying and selling items, the players' pop will go up and down.

A simplified example: Each business unlocks at X population count.
10 pop unlocks business #1
20 pop unlocks business #2
30 pop unlocks business #3

A. You own business #1 only. You have an item that gave you 5 for a total of 20. By selling it, your pop is reduced to 15. You will need to build up your pop back to 20 to be able to buy #2.

B. If you already own business #1 and #2, even if your pop drops below 20, it appears you will still own business #2. But to buy business #3, you must have 30 pop. So the threshold for #3 does not change.

Now, please understand, I know A. is correct because I've done it. BUT B. is only a theory. Please be careful--I'm only sharing what I think I've observed so far. I have not yet reduced my population to such a degree to test this theory. If you choose to sell off anything, it's completely up to you.

1) I wrote a very detailed and thoughtful post in a new thread on the forum called "Complaints & Gripes About My Town 2" that some of you may find interesting. It is a bit long but it's chock full of information and I'd like to see some of you guys add to it! Don't be shy, read it, digest it, talk about it!

2) Anybody here who gifts me population will be gifted in return, I promise. Barracuda Bay, ID # 33760646. Only population guys! You will get population and/or bucks from me in return!

3) My girlfriend started playing recently. Her town is Dani's Town, ID # 33766710. For the sake of friendliness, if you can spare it, send her a gift. She tried posting here recently and was totally ignored. Thanks in advance.

1) A direct link would have been convenient... :) Click Here
I think most of it comes down to a deficiency of balance in the game. I have no doubt that Booyah folks have visited this forum. Whether or not they care about a topic of discussion is another story.

2) 5 gifts a day do not go far. I'm sure most players want more than 5. By the way, does anyone think that the victorian homes look a bit like mausoleums when the town is zoomed out. Sorry for the bit of morbid observation. When I visited Barracuda Bay, I thought you had a cemetery at first. :)

3) I get ignored here all the time. I guess I'm used to it. :D
But, out of curiosity, I'll franchise one of her businesses with a few bucks. I don't have much, but I'm willing to do a little experiment. All I ask in return is to know the amount of bucks received for my franchising. That's it. It'll be franchised by my town, Nyteowl City.

In other news...
There are some people who asked about GAME TESTER. That town belongs to user, No1Stez, on this board. The town used to be called Stez City. You know, the player Ashley2021 was frustrated with for "cheating" his way up to the top of the leaderboard... :) Stez has since notched it way down.

Hello! I was just convinced to join mytown2 and it is so addictive. Looking to make some mytown friends and figure out any tricks to the game.
My Booyah ID is 33766710.

I just franchised a Trader Joe's from your town. Cost was 60 bucks for the 493 popularity, level 7 business. I would like to know how many bucks you received on your end.

I did go back to check the popularity level of the business, and it has gone up to 513, so 20-points for becoming franchised.
 
Licat

Anyway the pop up box asks if you want to. Upgrade to the next level which uses the bucks....ex. 1 buck, 5 bucks, 20 bucks, and on up till 10/completed level.

****************************************************************

I saw a few statements in past where people might have gotten a "? Free gift"? Hnnnnnnnn.....
I was looking thru my decoration section and there was 2 boxes with a red dot up in the corner.....
1-the clock tower- cost 12 bucks and pop was for 1750
People.
2-koi pond-1050 and cost 10 bucks
3- thought strange because I wouldn't purchase them innthe first place, yet &
Never did.I clicked on the dot and the decorations loaded up on my town
page......I emailed them on the 25th. C/on blinking screen
Maybe they compensated for my aggravation with that annoying
Screen bug........?????
Night all........ say prayers ............zzzzzzzzz

I have no idea why I get coins when you franchise from me. But for me to franchise from you will cost bucks. I will see what I can do. If you franchise from me tell me what you spent and I will tell you what I receive

Hey everyone! Just a quick shout-out before bed to all the wonderful peeps on this forum. A couple of things...

1) I wrote a very detailed and thoughtful post in a new thread on the forum called "Complaints & Gripes About My Town 2" that some of you may find interesting. It is a bit long but it's chock full of information and I'd like to see some of you guys add to it! Don't be shy, read it, digest it, talk about it!

i read your thread and made some comments about it in case u're feeling ignored too :) sorry about your gf, i missed it.
 
Being Ignored Happens to Everyone

I know for a fact a couple/few times I've made a request for input and no one commented. Successive posts get attention and others get overlooked. So much to read on the forum, so it's easy to happen that way.
 
Wow, I received gifts from so many people today, I don't know how to repay everyone! Thank you, people. :)

Danielle is a bit tied up at work so I'll answer this one. She got 7 bucks. So by my estimate, a person gets 10% of the purchase price in bucks, capped at a max of 50 bucks. It is a much higher payout in coins...seems to be about 25%, with no cap.

Also, I did get some new gifts from unexpected parties today...you all get gifted back, just realize that with only 5 gifts to give out, I will have to spread out the return gifts.

Can kiss, thanks for response to my thread. Would be cool for other members to join in. I know some have suggested an inventory box to store specialty holiday items that people may only want to display seasonally, and that is a great idea! We need more of them.
 
Warehouse: We Need One!

It was Mine2 and I who posted about a warehouse to store items. ref #880 and #908, almost 190 posts ago.

Keeping this topic alive is good. Hopefully Booyah will help us on this.
 
about my name

i know this is irrelevant but i don't want there to be any confusions about my nickname :) it's not about being able to kiss :) my name is cankiz and some peple call me cankis because z and s sounds real similar and it's cuter to say my name like that, that's where the nickname comes from :)

and it sounds more like "junk is" not "can kiss" :)
 
##### happens to all of us..lol

���������� Alot of times no one says anything back.. maybe cause some of its alot to type out or explain.. but rest assured we've all read and thought about what was said.. Unless its just "buck" begging..lol.. (Sometimes I skim through that..hahahaha).. never ignoring on pupose though.. Sorry if it seemed that way to anyone.. :) :) :)

And I'm never offended if no one laughs at my jokes..lol..I KNOoow they're funny and that's what really matters! teeheehee! Kidding Guys.. you should definitly feel free to ignore this one! :D :D :D

Licat.. Ref. post 1084

Morning.....eyes are fresh!!!!
Am so sorry about posting 1084......I went back to catch up and I typed llke I had been on a drunk.....LOL.....just couldnt kep eyes open.....sorry. I took a cat nap and typed some more.
Anyway what I was trying to tell you was that when you get a new business, the small square screen with the timers pops up and at the bottom it asks you if you want to "update" to the next level using x amt of bucks? That is what I am complaining about. Even if I wanted to buy another business, I couldn't level up (1-10) because I have no buck to help me or anybody else out!
Q-If I franchise someone in my local area,(Booyah has sent me back to my
original destination of So. IL/West Ky/ SoE Mo. area)( Elizabethtown, IL to be exact.) I would buy that franchise with coins. If I went to upgrade/level up, (1-10 levels) would my update screen show coins instead of buck to upgrade with?

I am trying to get the word out so other gammers might find me . I looked at 4 town within a 70 mi radius. I can use coins but there are just a handful of franchises, with most being from 1000-35. Low poularity. I want to maybe think the gammers are unaware about macrumor Forum or they might be in here.....I am just guessing.
I am sorry I cannot help anyone at this point because I have 6 bucks (I thank mayors that have sent them to me..... :) ) The other I use to upgrade to higher levels or I might buy a space dock gizmo if I get enough collected. I am kinda like a sitting duck on helping anyone one out. Please send out the word about the forum.......GREAT PLACE.....
+++++++++MAYBE+++++++++
If someone might want to come visit me in my neck of the wood and change your location that would be awesome for a change. That is alot to ask from my fellow gammers, but we all travel around looking from franchising, right. This girl is in need !!!!!!
Here are some listing close to me....FYI....
Carbondale, Il .......bt 70 from me........................COINS!
Bloomington, Il ......bt 130-170 mi. from me...........UNSURE COINS or BUCKS!

GraceGirl Hey There

GraceGirl: *nodding yes* to your statement: "...never ignoring on purpose though..."

This forum is moving so quickly that it's hard to keep up with it all.


"buck begging"??? I really like your description!!!

Thanks so much for your pop giftee, too!

WHEW.....one has to stay up on the postings......you miss one day and man you can really get behind .......
By the way, what is your town, and ID number if you don't mind me asking.
Thank you.
 
bigbridge59 - good morning 1.ref #1098 2. #1083

bigbridge59:

1.No apologies are necessary.
Written words are tricky and I find it challenging to write so my words are understood the way I meant them to be. As a result I know I get long winded. I'm just trying to be clear.;)

2. Kevinator, (post #215,#245), also received freebies.
I received a few too: Koi Pond and Ice Cream Stand last month. Then just recently, I received the Clock Tower.

I wonder who else received freebies?

Thank you

...again for the franchising cAndy :)...you will get peeps from my 2 towns every day...

Synz City 29210914
Synz City2 34418494

to all: please leave your ID with your towns name everytime you write here, there are too many people now, and sometimes its hard to find your ID among all these postings :)

and btw I dont buy any items anymore which are related to special events...because once the event over, you have to sell it with lost....we would need an inventory to stock the items we bought, that would be much better!

Thanks for the info. Following the 10% estimation, then franchising at a cost of around 500 bucks should yield the franchiser 50 bucks.

One more experiment. I'm not buck rich, but it'd be nice to know the lowest spending threshold for the franchiser to receive the max bucks. If anyone has a business with a popularity of about 4150-4200, then let me know. Thanks.
