Hi - it sure did and I got a loader - I will return to you in tomorrow's gifting, and we can try again. Thanks so much, especially if loaders are worthless to you! Now, I need to find someone with safety cones . . . .

Hello everyone, thanks to all that sent me gifts to both my games. I'm still looking for neighbors for my Okie game since I don't have that many neighbors. I have at least ten daily trading slots open for my Okie game. And as always I'm always looking for traders on my turion game as well.

@ItsRalphy Happy it worked
@Kris my neighbor's list not update for weeks. Did Okie still needs passengers?

I believe I can send in return safety cones. If you would like go ahead and send me your related gift.
I am more than happy to return as many as you need.

@Captain WH Rollins - Dave lost his job and his work PC and only has his phone (Android) games now. Strats left before the recent update to take a break. Philflyer1 did the same thing. Pia just disappeared. Flo just disappeared. That should cover it.

Hi!

Sounds like a sad story...

Thanks for letting me know. After I posted the question I then remembered about Dave losing his job and his PC.

Good Evening from London (16.50pm GMT)

My early mornings plunder brought in a healthy 21,800 coins and 18 launch ready blue chests, of which 9 were high valued resource items. With a few exceptions the figures for May have proved so far to be reasonably consistent. I estimate, by the end of the month, I should have earned more than half a million coins and more than 400 launch ready blue chest's, similar to April's figures.

My neighbours 20 gifts for today, Wednesday 11th May, have just been gifted. My thanks to all of my neighbours for their continued support, once again my gifts inbox was full. It makes a great deal of difference to my game play and helps keep my fleet of planes in the air.

Regards
Captain WH Rollins

(This type of scenario where items are only available when you are able to build a building/otherwise have to send in return applies to MCC3, Reserve Hangar all levels, Repair Base 6, Town Hall 7-10, Terminal 7-10, and Control Tower 7-10.)

I hope that made sense, but I or other players can answer follow-up questions you may have.

Makes vague sense, but not enough for me to know how to exploit it, yet.

You exploit it by sending people not the item you need, but the item from same slot as the item you need. They hit "return" and you get the item you need even if they can't send it anymore (or yet).

hmm... So Grand Hotels increase population? Seems like I should at least get a Green launch site going instead of filling my land with more money generators. Of course, before I reset my game, I could only start one launch a month once my supplies ran down. So tokens will still come slowly to me.

I was planning on using greenies on building slots at some point.

The advice I was given was to get the red launch as quickly as possible - it is with red launches that you start seriously accumulating silver coins. If you are able to I would skip blue launches and go straight to red (though I don't know if the game allows this) Winning a red Launch gives you 20 silver tokens and you get 15 tokens for 2nd,3rd. Even unplaced you get some silver tokens. Of course the price is higher (3000 points for a launch) but I find it much easier to find neighbour support for red launches so that balances out - you also get three large items in the prize chests. Of course getting a stock of parts is vital. The best and most efficient way to do this is to find out which of your neighbours have Planetariums and Research Labs and visit those neighbours nightly collecting only from the afformentioned buildings. If you are prepared to invest a few greenies then there are a couple of ways this can help your stock of space flight items (1) Delay visiting your neighbours until about an hour before the daily gifting window deadline, buy a golden dice (4 greenies) and apply before collecting from your neighbours you will find that almost every building drops multiple items and I have collected as many as 28 chests or more from one session. It doesn't end there though as your golden dice still work after you trip into the new day so you can go collecting again an hour later, with similar results. (2) The other thing you can do is spend greenies in the Dukes airship store - there you can buy Powerful Exploding bolts (6 greenies and 360 points each) and/or Main Stabilizers (2 greenies and 12 points). There is only a limited number on sale to you each visit, indicated by a black number box, before it becomes sold out. Each visit of the airship gives you a new allowance. This apart from land expansion (only during the half price land sale weekends) is the only use I make of greenies.

You possibly know some of this already and others may suggest different methods but it works for me. At the moment I am considering whether to use tokens on a third grand hotel or continue saving for whenever the casino or bank come around. Though as I dont have enough gold tokens yet I will probably go for the hotel first. I usually manage about one red launch every three days but recently I have been lucky and able to contribute small amounts to Quantum Leap Flights getting two or more in one day. In those cases I usually trade off getting a high place against the benefit of multiple flights

good luck

And I thought I was being helpful by resorting my gift list in alpha order.

Is there any way to reformat your map so that I can print it out for reference? Without having to scroll and print?

I can send safety cones. Will start tonight. Will send 4 unless you are able to get them from @Wired Parrott too.

Thanks for the Transmitters (which are different from Powerful Radio Transmitters). Thanks for the other building gifts.

I will be updating my sig shortly, but I don't believe any of my needs have been filled yet.

Hello! Just send you a friend request! I found an Insulation in your gifts - I really need one item to wake up my broken jets... What do you prefer as reply?

 

[Agent_L]

Well, every order is ok as long as we all stick to one. Unfortunately, as you can see there is "game order", "alpha order" and "categories order". But, there is Ctrl-F : )

It's not finished. Especially items for low level Tower/Hall/Terminal are a total mess and I can't quite figure them out. Items for high level ones are completely missing to complete the confusion.

And the part about events will never be finished, as new events bring new item slots.

Hi - sent your okie game an invite please accept - I can't return gifts daily as I have too many, but will usually return within 48 hours.
