Anybody Playing My Town 2?

I tend to stuff my iPod into my pant pocket (so it's always handy ;)) so it's in a very low profile back protector/cover. Because I can be such a klutz, I'd like to add a tether to it. With the new "shake and bake" feature, it may become even more necessary.

Sorry. I'm down in Southern California (from the San Francisco Bay Area) for the weekend, and I'm just catching up with the thread now.

Just to be clear, I wasn't implying that anyone on this thread would lose grip of their i-device doing the shake-for-coins maneuver. :) However, now I'm thinking that if a flying iPod/iPhone/iPad comes my way, I should walk up to the owner and say, "Let me guess, YarnGoddess or Licat?" :D

By the way, since I'm down in SoCal, I thought I'd launch MT2 and check out towns in the area (which includes, Hollywood, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Newport Beach, and Anaheim). So far, all I did was re-franchise Begins for higher popularity. No player towns I've visited have had anything compelling for me to franchise. I searched for Pantages Theat(er/re), Magic Castle, and Chinese Theatre. None of them came up. Even Capitol Records (yeah, what are records?) is missing from the game. :(

Any other ideas for historic SoCal locations that might be in MyTown2?

If someone wouldn't mind could you see what my Domino's pop is..:)
When I look at my stats it says over 130,000..actually quite a few of mine seem really high again..(high 90‘s) but I'm wondering if it just shows that to me..:confused: or if that's what you guys see too.. thanx :):):)

GraceGirl,
Your Domino's Pizza shows 41,457 as of 8:18 am....:D I franchised it from you (I'm pretty sure), the day before yesterday, and it was at 43,317. Like everything else, it's going down.... But not as drastically as some! I think what matters is the popularity when you buy it. It seems that it stays in your town, and the income doesn't go down, as the popularity drops. Could be wrong? Anyone know?

That being said, I actually have 3 VACANCIES, thanks to the VIP items, but no good businesses to fill them. If anyone knows of anything in the 40-100+ popularity range, that I don't know, please let me know, and I'll franchise from you (in coins - sorry :D).

Popularity / Businesses

OK! I now have 5 VACANCIES, thanks to the VIP items. I thinnk that would put me at the maximum number of businesses, 38, but I'm not sure..... The population counter says I have to reach 700 something thousand to get more (not 5 BB). Will keep you posted on that.

My problem is that I can't find any popular businesses to fill them. If anyone knows of anything in the 40-100+ popularity range, that I don't own, please let me know, and I'll franchise from you (in coins - sorry :D). It's really frustrating how far some of these things have dropped since I first saw them, but was unable to get them. I think what matters is that you get them at a high popularity. Once you have them, it doesn't matter for you if the popularity drops (am I wrong?).

CandyLand, need some more green love from you :D:D You've helped my town so much, it's unbelievable. You are officially co-Mayor, of Johnstown, and you have a key to the city whenever you come visit :)

Nyteowl, I do live out next to the Delta. If I catch a good, stiff crosswind off Mt. Diablo, though, I might be able to home in on you...

Moose Town, thank you for the gift and franchise. What's your ID so I may reciprocate? :)
 
Townie

So happy to have found this forum! Great tips and ideas, I've already learned a lot just by reading here the past few days.

I'm not a smart player, I'm more of a collector. Love seeing what others have done with their towns. In the process of cleaning up for better play.


Town name: Avalanchetwo
Booyah ID: 31845958
 
Thanks CandyLand. I nominate you the President of MyTown 2.:D


Solsville, here are a couple of other ideas for a wish list for the update:

A beach front, that can curve into a circle, with slightly curved center piece, and various, connecting, 'corner' pieces (like the hedges), and then some small plots of open water to fill it in. I'd love to make my mansions and condos, oceanfront!! :)

or lakefront!
 
MT2 Forum Membership Directory

Ever wish every member of this forum was listed in a massive directory so that they could be found at ease? NOW THEY ARE!

Follow the link below to the MT2 Pro Boards, where I have laid out a list of the approximately 120 community members. I have listed everybody by posting name, then town name, then Booyah ID#. EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO HAS EVER POSTED IN THIS FORUM WAS INCLUDED.

If you appreciate this effort and find it helpful, feel free to gift me.

Please note:

1. I had to go through every single page of this very long thread in order to put this together. But it was worth it!

2. In addition, a great deal of people posted their Booyah IDs but not their town names. Therefore, in most cases I had to add their ID myself, then search for them on my list, trying to figure out which town showed up that was not there before. Since I have over 200 people on my friends list, this was a cumbersome process. In 2 cases out of 120, it was just too tough to figure out. Booyah really needs to make the friends list less clunky as it is unnecessarily difficult to find people you added. Their town randomly gets thrown into the mix and you have to keep scrolling and in many cases play detective work. Why not show the Booyah ID under their town name? Or at least bring you straight to the town you just added? Ugh.

3. I will continue to add people as they join both Mac Rumors AND Pro Boards, but as Pro Boards is just far easier to navigate, the bulk of my time will be spent on that board after this weekend. I really do encourage every member here to at least check out Solsville's forum. What I am doing there I could never do here...if I posted a membership list, 6 hours later it would be knocked off the page and for all time anyone who wanted to see it would be stuck scrolling back to the original page it was posted on. Over there, it is permanently displayed in its own thread.

Here is a link to the directory (which I will be adding to my sig):

Thank you.

I've been lurking on this forum off and on for months, reading post after post picking up small tips and tricks(and occasionally big tips, haha). I just wanted to put a "THANK YOU" put there, though my little town isn't much compared to most on here, I've been having fun.

I also am currently at level 50, and really wish there were more levels. I do not own anything that pays out more than 1,000 on a 15 minute job, but my secret little MyTown2 dream is to find Fenway Park, but with my luck it will cost bucks and not coins like the apple store(I almost have 100 bucks, trying so hard to get to 200 to buy the eiffel tower).


At the moment most of my businesses are offices and I own 4 stock exchanges. I have a few regular businesses(Disneyland, Tiffany's, The W Hotel) that I've franchised and left as is, so my town doesnt look so industrial, lol.

I also regularly change my office to a salon to collect the errand coins then quickly change them back.

Does anyone know a little trick for more "bucks"? And hey, take a look at my town and feel free to send any constructive advice my way. This forum has already been so helpful.

OMG, how horrible. I can't help you there, but hopefully somebody else can.

I have explicitly warned people about the dangers of deleting and re-installing numerous times. Not that you shouldn't do it, but that there are definite risks and you need to be careful. IE do not do it if you are on low battery, if you are in an area where you could lose your signal during syncing, etc. And do not do it at all if you are using an I-Pad.

IngenuousCA, you have been added to the directory. Jbmiami2012, on my friends list, your ID shows up as a Lvl 1 town with a new name. Will update directory to reflect the change - if you get back your original town, I will change it back.

Just a thought, maybe contact Booyah about it?
 
Def contact booth

For sure email booyah, I lost all my bucks a few weeks ago and they re-credited my account, so they are quick to respond and were able to help me, it's worth a shot. I'd be upset if I lost my town.

Did u back up your phone before uninstalling MT2? If you do, then u can just restore your backup. Otherwise, contact Booyah. Good luck! Hope you can get your town back!

I lost half my progress when my phone die and Apple have to restore it. I didn't back up regularly so I only got my town that was a month old--lost all progress between my last backup and the restore. Booyah couldn't help and said they can only restore profess in between two devices. So I have to rebuild mine. This is like almost 6 months ago though. Maybe they changed how they do things now.

Thanks!!
 
Land expansion

Twelve parcels of land left, my next parcel costing $890K? It's crazy! I have had to switch all my businesses to either offices or entertainment (with extra SE) to collect enough income to expand. The high cost of land is cutting into the original enjoyment of the game. I have been selling off items (not my favorites) just to open up space due to lack of land. Hate the fact that my town isn't truly "my town" and it's now a sea of office buildings.

Love the idea of the game, but after hitting level 50, all extra points go to the great void... Painfully deciding to go on hiatus until changes to the game are made. It's just too frustrating to collect rent and not be able to do anything until I can afford land.

Great forum, glad I found it! I'm probably all talk... The darn game is like crack... I am so addicted, I don't think I'd last 4 hours without tapping those coins!!!

Thank you for the gift! Yes, of course you can use it in your signature.

If you know anybody who would benefit by being added to list, lemme know. The list does include everyone who has ever posted, but there may be some "lurkers" who want to give their info.
 
Thank you!

My thanks to cAndy land for the love and all of you for the great tips. You can check out Dodie Digs at 31715131

I have all 3 types of devices.. My main one is on my iPad. As for deleting the program, it only deletes all the info on your device, not the info and the main game stuff that is stored on Booyah's server. If you have a ipod, you can test it with that just to be safe. But I have already deleted and reinstalled the game at least 20 times now, and no problem, nor do I lose the progress unless the application crashes.

Thanks! What device are you using? I'm on a iPhone 4s. When I go to delete the app, it says, "Deleting MyTown2 will also delete all of its data". In your experience, you are saying that this does not actually happen and the data is kept? Just checking. I don't want to lose my town! LOL

***EDIT *** For those of you wanting to attempt the delete and restart application, please make sure your ipod/iphone/ipad is plugged in to a charger just to make sure you have plenty of battery life. Johnston, I am truly sorry to hear you lost your town. I pray that you have made a "backup" on the computer or icloud that you could then try to reinstall from there.

Thank you so much candy land. I was not expecting that but I am extremely appreciative. If anyone else want to check out my town it is 29015804.

I have also been looking for more popular businesses to purchase in the San Francisco/ Bay Area. Any suggestions?
 
Hey!

Real life has taken over for days now, so I just spent a long while reading all the posts since my last check in. *Phew!*

GraceGirl, I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers to you and your family. *hug*





I just wanted to say a huge, special thank you to cAndy- I appreciate your gifts more than you know. Thank you also to GraceGirl and BB. This forum has improved my game so much- I had less than half of my land cleared before I started following this blog and you all's advice. I still have a lot of work, clean-up, and decorating, but your towns and wisdom has made this game so much better!!! I'm glad that I can share this love of MT2 with people who enjoy the characters and decorations as much as I do!!!!

jbmiami2012 - Sorry About Losing Your Game

jbmiami2012: I am sorry to read that you lost your town. I don't know what is possible at Booyah's end, but perhaps they can help restore it for you. I have wondered how much of our games that they store. This is something worth checking into. Good Luck to you.
