The King has declared that later next month it shall be a national fruit day. Fruit will be given out at random at various market places across the country as a way to encourage the eating of fruit.

After checking the royal storehouses however it was discovered there was only a very small stock of Pears!

The King has issued a demand for some quality Pears, not the sort off the ground mind you but freshly picked from the trees all across the country, or imported from others if need be.

On his demand he requests Quality 1 Pears to be sent in as high a volume as possible, and at a fair price too for he's offering 0.30 ¢τ each for every Pear delivered during this Contest.

The King is requesting as many Quality 1 Pears as the citizens can send, and is willing to pay a good cost towards the production and delivery of this resource, buying at 0.30 ¢τ each.


This contest begins on Tuesday, 1st April 2008,
And ends on Thursday, 10th April 2008 at 23:59

To enter this contest and to have a chance at winning one of the prizes listed to the top right of this page simply send as much
Q1 Pears
as you can to the city Contest priced at 0.30 ¢τ.

You may also sell to other more competitive cities for a small profit.

How does the Competition Work?

The Selected 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 whether a beginner or long-term member.

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 contest date is made available.

The winners are indicated in the competition listings.

Remember the Contest Products Trade Forum is designed for to allow the purchase, or sale of the particular contest product for our more competitive users wanting to win one of these fabulous prizes for a fast reputation boost without having to spend money on coins, or buying produce for the demand from Special Buildings.

During this time any Pears used for the purpose of this contest should be brought in the Contest Forum.


As some users may have noticed this contest was originally supposed to run from the Monday, March 31st
however due to some an unusual issue the date was set incorrectly and was to end on April 4th.
To repair this problem that one was cancelled and it reset to commence tomorrow instead.
The users who had sent in Pears during that original sending will have their stocks returned as soon as possible.
