TheHelper Town - The Official TheHelper.net MyMiniCity City

We now have 100000 population. :)
 
#14 Great, two cities passed at the same time. #13 in 3-4 days.
 
We have managed to keep Yarolds with UndeadDragons help so we have been keeping around 1000 pop a day. Still not as much as DaBabes city but we are getting closer to that.

Rank 3 spurs-talkers has called it quits as well.
 
I would say that I am getting an average of 500-600 credits a day on Yarolds, so we should hopefully be catching up quicker now.

I looked back on my transfer history and for some reason, we recieved a load of credits from different people. The Lotto one is extremely weird because I don't ever enter the lotto :p

It'll take almost a month until catching up with the next city (#12 Calm Chaos, now that #13 has been passed), while Idarionis, Milee's Big Sky and City of MT are still growing faster at about 100-250 population per day, potentially passing TheHelper Town by the end of october.
 
To be honest, I don't find the point with this? Our city gets bigger, so what? Is there a price or what?
 
If you think about it, there's no point in anything. Not your post, not my post. Nothing.
 
Screw the philosophy.
MMC is just one of the many things to do.
 
Idarionis has passed us! We are back to rank #14 :(
 
Hurricane Ike had a bad effect on our city. We will need a couple of days to rebuild.
 
I heard about Hurricane Ike on the news and I wondered if it affected you. Hope you get sorted out soon. I will try and get more from Yarolds whilst you are busy.

EDIT: Back to 15.

EDIT: And 16 again.
 
Us passing these people up has rejuvenated them. We are back to 16 and one of the exchanges I use has been down and frankly they are beating us now. Without Yarolds going along with all the exchanges, and I found a new one that makes 7 we can beat out most but we are just doing what is in the FAQ so really anyone could do it. In other words, we might be holding position for a while until I can figure something else out to get us over the edge.
 
We might be able to come back past some of the guys we passed but unless we can get Yarolds kicking full and Tend My City back up city-ofmt is going to pass us in about 10 days.
 
City of MT passed us. I want to know what Seti.usa is using to get 1400 population a day?

  • Varine Varine:
    I would be there for days, even with my camera set up slides can take a long time, and if they want perfect captures I really need to use my scanners that are professionally made for that. My camera rig works well for what it is, but for enlargements and things it's not as good.
  • Varine Varine:
    I've only had a couple clients with that so far, though. I don't have a website or anything yet though.
  • Varine Varine:
    Console repair can be worthwhile, but it's also not a thing I can do at scale in my house. I just don't have room for the equipment. I need an office that I can segregate out for archival and then electronic restoration.
  • Varine Varine:
    But in order for that to be real, I need more time, and for more time I need to work less, and to work less I need a different job, and for a different job I need more money to fall back on so that I can make enough to just pay like, rent and utilities and use my savings to find these projects

  • Varine Varine:
    Another couple years. I just need to take it slow and it'll get there.
  • jonas jonas:
    any chance to get that stolen money back?
  • jonas jonas:
    Maybe you can do console repair just as a side thing, especially if there's so much competition business might be slow. Or do you need a lot of special equipment for that?
  • jonas jonas:
    I recently bought a used sauna and the preowner told me some component is broken, I took a look and it was just a burnt fuse, really cheap to fix. I was real proud of my self since I usually have two left hands for this kinda stuff :p
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I am still playing Shapez 2. What an awful thing to happen, Varine, and hopefully everything has been sorted out soon. Always use multi-factor authentication whenever you have the opportunity to do so.

  • Varine Varine:
    I think all of the money is accounted for now, and all the cards have been changed out, so I think for the most part it's taken care of now. Just need to go through and make sure all of my accounts are secured again, it's just time consuming.
  • Varine Varine:
    And yeah everything has 2 factor turned on now, or at least everything I can think of at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    The consoles don't need too much equipment that I don't already have. I would like to get a reflow oven, but I don't really want to buy one so I'm thinking about modifying a toaster oven I have to make something that will work for what I'm doing.
  • Varine Varine:
    I have the soldering irons and reflow and all that, but without an oven it's kind of hard to build mod chips and things like that. I made a handful of them with a hot air station, but it's a pain.
  • Varine Varine:
    The only thing I'm not really set up for is BGA rework. I've done it before a little bit, but not reliably, and that equipment is wildly expensive. You need X-rays and shit.
  • Varine Varine:
    I also have a couple 3D printers. I'm not super good with those and need to get an enclosure built, but they'll be useful for some aesthetic mods I've been thinking about. At least I can use them to do designs and then just have someone else print out the parts for me once I know they work.
  • Varine Varine:
    I also use them to make adapters for all my camera shit, but that's also an on the side thing for now. Lens adapters get really expensive.
  • Varine Varine:
    I've been trying to do some little art pieces as well, but I'm not much an engineer so they haven't gone great. I got some new things showing up to try and play with
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build this tesserect kind of thing with mirrors, and I've been trying to make this like black hole diorama. In my head it looks really cool, but I kind of thought I could form polarizing lenses into a sphere but I tend to just destroy them every time I try.
  • Varine Varine:
    So I got a new idea, but I'm not sure how to make it work like I want without being able to get a polarizer curved. I think they are made out of PVA typically, and I thought I could just heat it up a little bit to soften the film, but that clearly isn't working. So I'm going to try a few other things, I'm thinking if I put a mirror film over the polarizing film I might get something cool. I have some polarized LED's as well, and I think if I make a central light source I can use the mirrors combined with the polarizers to make that central light APPEAR black. I have next week off so I'm going to spend some time trying to figure it out
  • Varine Varine:
    The tesserect works, at least. I just need to figure out how to be able to assemble it, but I think I have a pretty good idea of how to go about it. Or at least a prototype of it. I'll post some pictures next week
  • jonas jonas:
    That last bit sounds like the last entry in a scientist's journal in a destroyed research facility in a post-apocalyptic video game
  • Varine Varine:
    lol it's not that exciting
  • Varine Varine:
    Shiny tho
  • Varine Varine:
    Basically it's a cube with a two way mirror on the inside, and then a smaller cube suspended in that with a mirrors on the outside of it. Kind of like those infinity pictures where they use two mirrors to go forever. Only it's twelve mirrors
  • Varine Varine:
    And the tiniest LED strip I could find
