Yeah, I was interested when it got going too, but there's just not much fun in it now. The biggest problem is that the game is ridiculously slow. I'm getting about a billion in income each day, but who has the time to waste building a hundred individual buildings each day when the servers are so slow. If they had just made a feature where you can build buildings in bunches it would have improved it a lot. I gave up on strategy in the game because really playing to win would be too time consuming. It's too time consuming even spending all my money on the most expensive buildings, let alone the ones that give a good return.

Here is how I find them:
1 find a major highway
2 zoom in and look for streets to buy
3 if there is nothing of interest, navigate a number of blocks along the highway and let the street search refresh
4 reapeat step 3 as neccessary

After about 10 minutes of doing this, I probably found a half dozen streets in that price range.

Okay, I'm done.

If anyone wants my streets, let me know. If you want, I'll offer you all my streets and a pile of cash for your cheapest street.

So what's the top score on CP right now? I am thinking of dropping out of the game now too. It just wastes so much time.

I'm not quite at 1/2 your score, I'm at $3,161,061,000.

Perhaps we could all create a CP monster and take #1 Nationally.

I should crest the 10B mark in a couple days, at which point I plan on building some of those monopoly towers. I figure after that there is nothing else to do and I'll pass on my fortune to another CPer as well.

Im trying to build a bigger fortune than Jim Ballsilie here in Waterloo, so any help is appreciated and will be returned back to CP.

Cheers

Not sure if your playing much or not anymore Cheese but I just offered you 16,969,980,000 (10 Streets + Cash) for Highpoint Ave ($4,628,000 includes a hazard).

That should slightly nudge you up the Waterloo standings. You may want to sell off some of your old cheaper streets to avoid extra tax. Have fun.
