The Results


Image Source: Ramshornstudio

The second contest drawn to a closure at 23:59 on Thursday Evening, and although not as exciting then the first the total submitted for first place was much higher then in the first contest ..

Elwynn Forest had submitted a huge 18,000,000 Wool,
much of which within the last few seconds before the statistics update, and contest closure.. It was a risky move,
But one that paid off to take first place.

Close behind was Kempilum who submitted their entire load of Wool minutes before the end, sending in a total of 14,330,432 Wool.
He was in first place with that load, right up until the very last second, but still managed to send in enough to take Second Place.

At much lower totals, with a submission of 5,327,503 Wool,
City of the Heart had taken Third Place.

Nevertheless, a total of 128 players entered into this second contest, a total that was actually lower then in the first!
Many cities however chose to supply their Wool to others, effectively netting themselves almost triple profit from the normal Wool price, an endeavour that would pay off very quickly.

Unlike in the first contest the price was pretty stable all the way to the end, and only dropped back to normal levels after the contest had been completed .. despite the confusion of the finish date for the first few days, a mistake on my part.

How does the Competition Work?

 

The Product may or may not be produced in a high quantity and often the product is selected to give a more fair chance to every player.

The selected quality and retail price of the product to send is included in every announcement, however sometimes the product itself may be hidden with only a clue in the competition story.

Generally competitions are not suitable for the newer players or smaller cities due to the amount needed to have a fair chance in the standings. However they can sell the required product or something needed to produce them to those who are willing to pay enough to earn one of the above prizes since high yields are usually the target for these competitions.

On the last day of the competition at 23:59 the competition office is then closed until the next one is made available.

The winners are indicated in the competition listings.
