    Question about Synching

    OK...
    I've read that some members delay collecting on their 12/24/48 hour buildings to synchronize the payouts. This makes great sense. I also assume its very likely you'll be robbed like there's no tomorrow during the synchronization.

    However, isn't the synchronization scattered when you upgrade one of the buildings? Does that mean you only synchronize your high payout buildings once you've maxed out the upgrades?

    Yes, upgrades do create a small problem. But there is an easy solution.

    Step 1: Upgrade your building.
    Step 2: When the synced buildings are ready to collect, collect them.
    Step 3: When the upgraded building is complete and ready to collect, DO NOT COLLECT IT.
    Step 4: When the synced buildings are ready to collect, collect them AND the upgraded building.

    Voila! Easy as pie.

    Probably a dumb question but, can all the money from a building be looted. For instance I had just built a church was supposed to come due the first time in the middle of the night so iwas just going to leave it an pick up what was left the morning and sync it. The only problem was when I went to sync next morning nothing was there not even a dollar. Accident or mess up?

    Beaux, that is not correct, I think the lowest payout from a building that was robbed is 40% of the total. So you should have had some money

    @beaux

    Robber gets 40%
    You collect 40%
    20% disappears

    We even have taxes in a crime game!!!

    Here's another solution... If the upgrade takes 27 hours to complete, start the upgrade 27 hours before the exact time you want to collect it so its synced with your buildings.

    Hopefully that made sense.

    That way you lose more time and money, actually. Except for the case when you're full of landmines.
    Pay the game the way it's meant to be payed!

    I never intentionally synch my buildings. If I see a building that's ready, I take it.
    Sometimes I get really busy and can't play as often as I would like so my building get synched because I'm away.

    Drink a little too much on a friday night, buy the time you get up your 12 hours are probably synched up.

    It just seems to me that leaving a building uncollected just to synch it up is taking a unnecessary risk because at some point I'll be taking that risk anyway by being away.

    That is highly outweighted by NOT giving away to robbery

    Actually, you have to add in the collection time, too...
    Say for a 12 hr building: 27 hr to complete upgrade PLUS the 12 hours for it to become due, totals 39 hours... You have to start the upgrade 39 hours before being able to collect in sync. Ja?

    Incorrect. When a build/upgrade is completed the timer starts at zero. If you time it so that completion coincides with collection time, the new building AND the collected buildings will have the same "zero".

    Make sense?
