How long has it been? More than 2 months! I have been away from this game too long, and this is the time I say this:
Ok I am back now, and I see my dCity is already in a mess. I haven't done anything significant recently regarding the Hive price pump and dump condition. I preferred to wait for some time but then there were some challenges in my life so I had to fix them and that put me away from any HIVE activities.
But I have settled most of them, and now it's time for me
My dCity ~ Root Cause and Solutions
In general, I haven't done any change nor improvement on my dCity. All I have done in the last 2 months are selling my excess young citizens. However I found out earlier today than my Income dropped badly, from 50 something down to 16 $SIM. I lost some population and that made one of the building not active.
What have caused my dCity to crack like this? Well the cause was citizens change.
I lost two of my premium citizens. They have lived too long and the Almighty has called them to the nicest place. So I lost two NFT(s) that were very valuable, in term of stats and in term of price (HIVE). It's a big blow for my dCity.
To put it worse, another of my economist decided to retired. I lost all of his/her perks. These loses summed all the drops on my dCity and I think there will be more to come.
So How Bad is my dCity right now anyway... I play this game together with my friend, @arveno and @ramadhanight almost at the same time. I believe three of us still active in this game, and this table below will show you how far they have progressed their dCity.
 |  |  |
@arveno has been the leading one, he is on #153 for the Income. he has 350 population which is thrice of my dCity size. @ramadhanight is trailing behind him, and his dCity population is actually smaller than me. He took the different route, by getting many penalized stats building to focus boosting up his dCity Income.
Two of them take different path, and I will take my own path too. I have my own roadmap but it's just the fluctuation on $HIVE price made me wait for too long.
So let's get this thing done then!
What To Solve or To Kill
I need to increase my Income and getting 3 more population at the same time. This time I will take another route that I haven't taken before which is to kill the Social Support
I have 159 $SIM Social Support and I believe this time killing this number takes the highest priority. I am getting this SOCIAL AID OFFICE
It will drop 100 support cost, which means I could house in more Young Citizens. This is not the best method anyway, but at least I could take this path without dealing with more citizen cards.
I need 79.000 $SIM to get these buildings. Social Aid Office needs 40 workers, so I need to add some population and I choose to get some from those two apartments.
and this is the notification:
This one is one of my biggest expenditure in this game, but I think it is ok to do this once a while. I haven't spent any SIM for the last two months anyway.
I believe my dCity has got better and let's take a look on my dCity now
The Result
I am happy to see most of my number get back on the right track. I have 74 $SIM from the tax refund. It gets maxed again because I manage to pull down the social support cost support. The path I took might not the best one of the most efficient one, but it gives solid result.
My rank jumped to #244 in Income, which I think that is quite good. It is still far from what @arveno and @ramadhanight have achieved, however I believe I have set my dCity back to the right route.
I still have to figure it out how to get 100 $SIM for the additional tax refund to compete with those two. Indirectly you can say I need to double or thrice my dCity size to keep up with them. I won't chase them in one or two weeks, but still I need to devise new plans to chase them up step by step.
and that closes my post today, see you next time...
