Please tell me if I am in the wrong thread. I can't seem to find anything relevant. Or maybe I shouldn't be discussing it but here goes: I was one of the Robin Hoods helping others with franchises. However, I think since the last update I can't seem to 'update' my bucks. Has anyone got any ideas ? Please help. I am desperate. Hi Melzzzzy, What do you mean 'update' your bucks? Do you mean replenish?....One thing is for sure, my device crashes on a regular basis since the last update, but where my bucks are concerned there's no changes.

Sounds like the evil Sheriff of Nottingham might be zeroing in on the Robin Hoods.

I think you will earn 50 bucks from Godiva chocolatier from now on. ;D Helped a little. A few rounds of refranchising from Snibull big town, cost was 496, last round I did cost was 509. Thank you!!! I don't know how to explain this and we can move this discussion over to a different thread, but I received 3 franchises on Godiva last night: Shadow gave 14 bucks PreciousVille gave 46 bucks K-city gave 50 bucks Thank you all for the franchises and the pop is greater than 3500 so woo hoo! But... Multiple franchises don't work and where is shadow's location to franchise for such a low amount?! Snibull 30719277

Hope you had some of the Jubilee cake and beer I left out for the straggler I had all the top pop businesses but they all took a nose dive. I bit the bullet and sold off 7 of the lowest ones when I was making room in my town.... Yet I still don't have a spot of green grass showing... sighh...

Interesting that you are not getting the fulle $50, when your stats clearly shows your pop at 3840. Amstel (located SF-CA) did one this morning- doesn't remember buck amount, but it was high 500. Pop 3716 I just did one (right this sec)- location PHX-AZ. Bucks 419- pop 3685 (ughhh!) Amstel got ripped off!! LOL Amstel's stats show 3716- right now. Snibull- Amstel sees you at 3702.

But... Multiple franchises don't work and where is shadow's location to franchise for such a low amount?! Snibull 30719277 Shadow is in Quebec, which is relatively close to New York. I can almost guarantee that he spent around 140 bucks to franchise. PreciousVille gave 46 bucks : She was probably in a location further away - but close enough to cost less than 500 bucks to franchise. K-city gave 50 bucks: was the furthest away - and it cost 500 bucks or more to franchise. The Franchised business will received 10% of the amount of bucks that were spent to franchise the business. I just franchised Snibull's Godiva from 3 locations: Vegas - cost was 575 bucks Florida - cost was 305 bucks (closer location) Boston - cost was 34 bucks (closer still) Snibull can verify, but she should have received: Vegas: 50 Bucks Florida: 30 or 31 Bucks Boston 3 or 4 Bucks

Amstelville is SF- CA. So not only does the amount of the pop make a difference, the location also matters. hmmm....very interesting. Edit- Sorry, One more question. Does anyone know why Snibull got +50 from both Shadwow and K-City franchises, yet only got +10 from Preciousville? (I can't write what I really think the reason is..........LOL)

Hmmm, where do I start? This is very interesting and I appreciate both Solsville and Amstelville/PreciousVille for participating.
I unfortunately didn't read the forum 1st and went to my town as I only had a chance to check on Godiva this morning and nothing else. The screenshot above notes a Total Check-ins: 21817 Popularity: 3840
I received 2 franchises this evening. Shadow for 50 bucks, Solsville... I'm so sorry, but when I saw it was from you I kinda went totally blank on the amount. I want to say 4 bucks but, like I said... I just went "Solsville... " and well anyhow, it wasn't a complete lost cause. I took screenshots (which I won't post but I can, I just did them to get the stats). I only received 1 when you clearly recorded 3 transactions.
Stats after Solsville Total Check-ins: 21,817 Popularity: 3,861
Stats after Shadow Total Check-ins: 21,817 Popularity: 3,881
I went a few minutes ago and Ya Phyl Me (Thanks!) franchised it and it and I also did 2 check-ins Total Check-ins: 21,819 Popularity: 3,903
Questions/Concerns: Why didn't the popularity increase only 1 value during the day? It went from 3840 + 20 for a franchise from Solsville and then a random +1. Surely there was an update and other people have been franchised/completed check-ins. Should have the 3840 increased throughout the day just through the server update?
Why didn't Solsville's 3 franchises go through this evening? And of course, this means all 3 did not add to the popularity.
I figured distance makes a difference so that's why I asked Shadow for his location. But exactly how much of a difference?
2 checkins did increase my baseline... will it hold?
Comments/Questions?!

K-city and Shadow must have leveled up to level 10 and Preciousville is on level 2? I know level 1 is 5%, so is level 2 10%...?
Anyways, that's why the %s are different. Of course, my stats are all fudged. They repeat names throughout the list. The only way to actually tell who is correct is to go through each one. I know the top 3 are correct, below that it just repeats. Tomorrow, if another franchiser franchises the names shift down and then repeat again. Weird.
