Mini City Chat thread.

[mhku]

I had a play with various scripts at the weekend: pop-ups and iframes. Most either don't work, are blocked or redirect the complete page to minicity (as it's a .swf page it can be pain to "trick" it). Lots of the "how to increase your population" scripts are just links to someone's minicity.

Being .swf also means it won't work with most proxy servers (none that I could find would work) as they tend not to be compatible with Flash.

Yes, I've been trying a proxy script and tried iframe, plus Chris has tried the script which is supposed to open up a small 3 second popup window, but that didn't work either.

I wonder if my ISP is restricting this city website as I cannot get on to it with any browser!

 

[Zorba]

I can't get it either

 

[Salty25]

It seems a shame that to do well, you have to get all 'military' about it with attacks on others and clever tricks. A bit of lost innocence I guess

 

[Robbo]

The minicity site must be down, Firefox just says the server is taking too long.

 

[Zorba]

I think this attacking other cities is reaching fever pitch.The minicity world has reached meltdown. Maybe someone has dropped a cybernuke on it.

Found this link:-

Apparently it gives the city what ever it needs.

I can't test it as I have already clicked.

Strange, th ebrowser window blinks a few times, and then it goies to the website. I think it works, what a strange thing. But i would still like to find out how those devils nuked us, what program were they using...?

 

[rolfw]

If you read my post a few back, there is the anticity site at which you can nuke another city, but they didn't use that method, they simply overran the place with factories which caused an environmental disaster.

The link above goes to the XML page first, checks the statistics and then decides which URL to use and clicks through.

 

[Robbo]

Just been having a quick search around, and found a forum dedicated to minicities. How sad

Apparently antiville doesn't work against minicity, its a different game. Not sure, but an anticity site is needed instead.

We were what is known as 'factory bombed', the cure of course is to env bomb yourself.

Quite a few cities are being factory bombed.

 

[Topper]

Wow it is almost a whole industry, check out these links

Here

and here

Seems I may be too long in the tooth for this stuff, what are our offspring turning into,
whatever comes after a nurd I suppose.

First there were anoraks, then there were geeks now there are ????

I know I'm rambling

 

[Robbo]

Yep, it's not just about building a city, it's a game, use all the tactics and internet tricks you can muster to become the biggest.

 

[rolfw]

We've updated the link to automatically assess which action is required to increase the size of the City.

Please don't just visit once, visit every day, using the above link.

 

[Analoguesat]

We are rocketing back up the listings

pop 1645 ranking 76

all stats good, except pollution 1%

ATM we need another 100 pop to pass the next city

 

[Salty25]

The link doesn't work.

 

[Zorba]

Is myminicity down today, I can't get to it at the moment

 

[rolfw]

It didn't for a short while, but it does again now.

 

[Topper]

It didn't for a short while, but it does again now.

Nope not working here .........waiting for lightening.generator.free.fr


Edit Working Now

 

[Robbo]

We are back roughly where we would have been had we not be sabotaged.:-handclap

Thanks to massive growth of the city over the last few days.
