Go for it, ask me anything. Keep it clean and civil please. I will try to answer everything, but some answers are going to be "I can't say" or "I'm not going to answer that". Please understand that as a company representative and a person there are some topics I can't go into, and some I won't.

Other than that, have a fun and fire away!

The event is now closed.

Ok CCM, Where are you from and how old are you?

Do you guys keep a set schedule on when\what events will be released? Whens the next gold sale!?!?!

Last but not least, i noticed in another thread you stated there would be an event for just forum members, when's that going to take place and what can we expect from it?

I'm from Santa Cruz, CA. I'm 28.

We keep a schedule, but due to issues with the platform (Apple, Google, etc) we often have to push things back.

Favorite alcohol? Cardhu.

Favorite non-alcohol? Ito En jasmine tea.

I try not to have opinions on what the game needs so I can better display your opinions. If I had strong feelings I'd be more inclined to say "well that player is just plain wrong, I'm going to suggest what I want.".

Will the epic boss healthbar be fixed so it decrease equal every time and not less and less, cheap programming making players think they have a chance until the boss only have 1/20 of his healthbar left, then all of amsudden the bar hardly moves when you attack. But the epic boss events is still the best events done in any funzio game.

Every unit has a casualty rate. When you fight, consider it a die-roll. If the roll fails, you lose the unit that the roll was for, and it becomes progressively harder for your other units to die.

get in trouble? of course not. you're opinion is always allowed. If anything, i would think they should encourage your critique (a good company would) you have the most communication with the customers. Gree/Funzio would be foolish to not listen to your concerns and what improvements you think are needed.

Hey Mark!

First off, I think you've made a great game and I play it almost everyday. Touche!

So, here are my questions:

1) I play Crime City on a HTC Thunderbolt. The last month I've been playing, I've had some issues with my phone slowing down considerably after playing and exiting Crime City. For example, I will play Crime City and exit properly out of the game. A couple of hours later, I launch the game and the game is VERY sluggish. The game is so slow, it is unbearable to play the game. (i.e. If I click the 'Menu' button, it takes about 10 seconds for the 'Menu' to load.)

So, I've found a workaround in order to fix it. I have to go into the "Settings - Manage Applications - Running" and physically close the game running in the background. The "Crime City" application is using anywhere from 28%-75% of my CPU. Once I close the application running in the background, my phone works fast and then Crime City runs properly.

Is there a different fix for this? It's annoying to keep closing the application physically after each time I play. Thanks!

2) Also, two days ago, the Yellow Arrows have disappeared from my "Map." When completing past "Map missions" and completing each level to Level 5, I cannot see what buildings/people/missions I have already completed.

Did the arrows disappear for good? Will they be back?

---

I hope this is the correct forum to post this. If this is not the correct forum, I can post it elsewhere if needed.

Thanks, Mark!

interesting. Do you know which dice are rolled first? I have a feeling its the weakest units...

1. Can you please tell us how the epic boss's health is calculated. I know its based on "level and inventory", but does that mean that people with a higher attack score get harder bosses, therefore it is actually harder for people with high attack scores??

If you follow the threads on this topic the boss's difficulty seems pretty random.

2. Do you still play modern war and participate in the events yourself? Have you won any?

3. Are you guys working on new content?? Like new boost buildings to reduce upgrade times? Do you have an estimate when they might be coming out?

4. Are you aware that the PVP loot system is broken? I've sent tickets in about it but nothing has been done to fix it. They say PVP loot is "level based", well I, and many other members, still get loot that should be just for the players at lvl 1. Flan is like 40 lvl's below me and he gets loot 3 times more powerful than mine.

We're actually changing the selection process. It's going to be based on community activity and attitude. We want positive players who are dedicated and interested in the game to participate. More details as soon as I have time to finish drafting my proposal to the execs.

1) Because it can get cancelled. I don't want to be a liar. Also because people higher up the ladder say not to.

2) Adventure Time

3) It's always hard to pick a favorite. Emma Stone. I think she's hilarious. I'd say Audrey Tautou, but it seems she plays the same person in every movie.

4) Don't make me pick!

5) Known bug, being worked on.

Same goes for supervillains. Put "super" in front of it and I'll pass.

Don't like superheroes.

Same goes for supervillains. Put "super" in front of it and I'll pass.

I don't have a favorite song, I play bands based on my mood.

Right now it's probably the Kingston Trio or the Arcade Fire. In general it's Th' Legendary Shack Shakers.

Your favorite show is Adventure Time? No offense Mark, but I've seen commercials and that show looks stupid. I was expecting something more like Two and a Half Men, or How I Met Your Mother, or Spongebob.

No offense taken. It's not for everyone. I find it pretty clever, but it took a lot of work for someone to sit me down and make me watch it. I thought it was pretty stupid at first. Turns out it's a hidden gem.

I'm not really a fan of sitcoms, and I hardly ever watch TV at all these days. Too busy working.

Do the higher ups read the forums themselves?

Some of the simpler things are not in the game, For example, Deleting Multiple Allies, Being able to search for an ally, being able to see who's attacked you at any time.

Why are these simple things that improve functionality not implemented? Are they purposefully not implemented to make it harder to do certain things?

thanks again for answering.. here's more. (apologies but my questions invariably lean back towards the games)

1) will there be better ways to spend the honor points in KA on? better honor units?

2) can be there be a grand prize for completion of Tournament Rounds in KA? PVP in the game is an exercise in losses and if there was a grand prize at the end of it all, it would be worthwhile. having expensive units die so that I get a rogue doesn't seem like a good plan.

3) can you talk about the general directions of the 3 games going forward since they are all at different stages?

4) if you could have a long dinner and chat with anyone, who would you choose?

5) can we have more dragons in KA for non-gem players? the last KA dragon-themed event gave everything but dragons to non-gem players..

6) just curious: will the 4th game by Funzio/GREE be SPACE-themed? ;)

-are the only leaderboards for the CC only for events or will there be permanent ones later for differents aspects of game play
-why the change from top 500 to top 250 in the events (with this change no free player will most likely never win)
-is there goin to be option in the future to sell off items
-what can you share about the fix for the last expand you hood goal that cant be currently completed?
-the scratcher testing issue for example, is it true that if beta tester's find and exploit or glitch as in the scratchers it is not considered cheating
because they are suppose to find issues of such. part2 if beta testers do find a glitch and exploit during the testing phase
what happens to their ill gotten gains of that exploit?

This is why the other forums have become such a headache. Stop the mindless chatter, please.

CCM, MW has become almost pvp exclusive at the 100+ lvls, is there anything in the works to add to the game for pve, iph,or reasons to expand and build on the bases? It is much more interesting when there is something to keep my scattered brain interested instead of collecting and attacking for BP.

Are there any events for KA that aren't box events and tailored to the gold spenders?

That good to hear that you guys are working on it but it seams that this last update made it alittle worse. It just gets so old always crashing when you are in a money making hood or attacking some one and not being able to find that person again. Awile ago there was a fix for when it did crash you were able to keep the money and respect that you didnt pick up that was on the ground that seams no longer the case.

thanks again for answering.. here's more. (apologies but my questions invariably lean back towards the games)

1) will there be better ways to spend the honor points in KA on? better honor units?

2) can be there be a grand prize for completion of Tournament Rounds in KA? PVP in the game is an exercise in losses and if there was a grand prize at the end of it all, it would be worthwhile. having expensive units die so that I get a rogue doesn't seem like a good plan.

3) can you talk about the general directions of the 3 games going forward since they are all at different stages?

4) if you could have a long dinner and chat with anyone, who would you choose?

5) can we have more dragons in KA for non-gem players? the last KA dragon-themed event gave everything but dragons to non-gem players..

6) just curious: will the 4th game by Funzio/GREE be SPACE-themed?

There's been a ton of crap threads on the CC forum the past couple of months - my mafia's better than yours, people calling each other out, general game frustrations, etc. It's making it almost ridiculous to find the more game-pertinent topics. And I think a lot of new visitors to the forums must be turned off & rarely return (even some of the long-standing members have left because of it). Could CC (& MW, KA) have 4 sub forums instead of the current 3? 1 would be the official posts, 2nd would be "add me's", 3rd would be discussion of strategy/game specific questions, & 4th would be general discussion.

1. ABOVE REPLY-QUOTES = MISSED QUESTION: CCM, did you receive my update PM on my mafia glitch, is that something you can do when the time comes? i don't if you looked at it yet. I'm getting closer and haven't even gotten ONE email from Funzio...

2. I REALLY like the idea that G Wiz mentioned (shake phone to collect money buildings), i know you are aware of it now just letting you know its an amazing idea. sometimes I'm in a rush before i leave wifi and that would be awesome

3. When 2 defense buildings (MW) are next to each other, when clicked, it says it boosts the other defense building. Does that (1) increase the other defense building's defense against raids? Or does it (2) increase that defense building's defense number?
If (2), then hypothetically we should be able to create a long chain of defense buildings within range of one next to the other. With this chain, all building defense numbers would add together and affect every building within range of the total summed defense #, no?

4. How did your presentation go? Did your EP like it? anything they specifically liked or commented on, off the top of your head? We're all REALLY EXCITED!

Mark, I'd like to know why the support staff have greatly differed in resolving issues for different players. For example, the Bodyguard Agency buildings. Many of my friends have been given a full refund of gold and some also were even refunded the cash they spent on upgrading them. Other players were refused any refund at all. I am one of the ones that didn't make the cut of the chosen ones who have been granted that request. I have pm'd you regarding this issue and you asked me for the ticket numbers for my request as well as those of two friends of mine who are a married couple; the wife was given an apology, a full refund of the gold, and all the cash spent on upgrading them, and the husband was refused this same request as was I. I sent you all three ticket numbers and I have not heard a thing from you since then even though I have pm'd you again asking what the status of this was. And of course neither I nor the husband have been given any refund of the gold or cash.

So I am a very dissatisfied consumer of this company. I would like a straight answer for once. Why are the support staff so unfairly inconsistent with their handling of identical requests from us? Is it possible to explain why some people have been granted a refund for the gold spent on the Bodyguard Agency buildings and upgrading cash while others have been refused?

Maybe 350 gold is no big deal to some, but I'm not able to afford to buy much gold as I'm totally and permanently disabled and I have a very limited fixed income, so it is a big deal to me!

Is it 1000+5?
