The NCC has always confused me, but this week, I am actually "competing" against 2 people's chains, who are my neighbors- so I guess in a way I am competing against my neighbors. This had never happened in the past. My question is, does me working their facilities do anything for my chain, or theirs more? Same for them - do we just cancel each other out? Especially considering we all share a common number of neighbors.

Hi Early Girl,
This happens if there are not enough others, non-neighbors, who match the requirements to be your competitors.
Working facilities does not effect any scores in the NCC. You only make points for the contest from filling the facilities. You don't cancel each other out as it would also depend on other neighbors also working the facilities to allow each of you to fill more.

But, we are neighbors - from both sides. So, the trick to winning the NCC in a week is to just keep it filled? Not who works it?

Hi Early Girl :)

Taz is not available at this moment.

You and your neighbors only get points for the NCC when filling facilities.

Working your friends facilities only helps them to be able to refill them faster and then get more points.

Thanks - appreciate the help. Did explain it better

Not sure where to post this but my NCC is showing last wks contest. I've cleared memcache and browser. Doesn't clear problem. Using Firefox browser. ID# 100000534947736

Hi tondinihale,

My apologies for not being able to answer you sooner. I have moved your post to the thread about the NCC.

Are you still having difficulties with this now? We are seeing your contest is open and showing this weeks facilities.

Taz, TY for your ansswer. It seems to be working fine now. Switched over to Chrome and got this wks contest. TY

Well I'm not Taz lol, but you're welcome and thank you for coming back to let us know :)

Make sure you've logged out of the other browser and then log back in before you try that one again and if you're using a saved bookmark to get to the game in it, try deleting that and get a new generic one or use the Facebook bookmark in the left side of New Feed to make sure you are using the current version of the game.

I have 5 of the FC facilities from this weeks NCC. I moved them to different farms as part of a longer term rearrangement of my facilities, but they are not showing up in this weeks contest. Did I do something wrong?

Hi Enigma Cross,

Once you have started the weeks NCC you must never move any of the facilities to other farms. That should have caused you to abandon the contest. If it's not telling you that you have abandoned the contest then it should be.

Please reload your game and open the NCC via your tool box and see if that message is showing up.

Sadly, I did not think that through. But, I got no message about quitting the NCC for the week. I am still in the NCC this week but with just the 2 coin facilities, even though I have 5 FC facilities this week. guess I should make the most of it and do some more moving around.

Hi Enigma Cross,

Which facilities do you see in the contest this week? I just need to be sure you are seeing this weeks contest and not last weeks. Is it the Townmarts and Polish Restaurants that are not showing?
I have copied your posts over to the devs thread for them to see.

Yes, it's the townmarts and the polish restaurants that are not showing up.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Enigma Cross,

Ok thanks.

I suggest you contact the support team about this as although I could clean your NCC and see if that will add the FC facilities to the contest it could also update it to show abandoned which is what was supposed to happen, so there's a possibility that you won't be able to continue with the NCC if I did that and you would have to wait until next week to participate again.

Hi Tiger,
Thanks heaps for all your help.
I bought a new Townmart, and then, all the facilities showed up in the NCC.
Very strange.
A good result though.

Regards.

Hi Enigma Cross,

Thank you for letting us know, much appreciated!. Looks like support cleaned your NCC perhaps that helped as well.

Ncc
 

It seems the way neighborhoods are selected isn't working fairly. Doesn't matter how regularly you play, it is impossible to compete if one of the chains is so much stronger.

This current one I am in, #1 has 10 million plus, #2 has 4 million plus, #3 has 4 million plus, #4 has 3 million plus, etc.. In other words, the chain in first place is so far ahead of the rest of us that there is no possible way to catch up.

maybe the way they are chosen needs to be tweaked??

Hi iwoeb :)

I moved your post to the thread about NCC.

When the neighborhoods are chosen to compite against each other, it is based on their strengh.

After that, then it is the way every neighborhood plays the NCC. There is nothing to prevent you and your neighbors to continue adding factories, so the more factories added the more xp the neighborhood gets by filling and refilling factories/services.

It also depends on how many times they refill those factories and if they have a good storage to do that. And of course, the amount of friends working their facilities which allows them to refill more often.

If you want to make a suggestion, please post it in our Suggestions section. You cant open a new thread there but you can post as a response to a thread that fits with your idea.

I am ranking in the millions this week in the NCC but for some reason ended up competing with 2 other people that I have unfriended and blocked from FB -- how can I be competing against 2 people that are not friends and have them blocked. Also, because for some reason they always score 1st and 2nd place. I was told that as long as "HURRICANE" played, no one stood a chance to get first place and it seems like the other person always ranks 1st no matter what. I go by the rules and play fair and constantly refill and work neighbors' posts and I end up being put with the 2 people that I unfriended in Farm Town and blocked in FB -- can you explain how that happened? I am very disappointed and do not want to play anymore if this is the case

Hi Teresitao,
I moved your post to the Help & Support subject thread about the NCC to answer you.
You compete against any other players' teams that are playing the contest. It has nothing to do with whether they are your friends or not. The teams you compete against are any other players that match as closely as possible to what you have at the time the teams are chosen.
Please do not post questions or problems in the Suggestions section. That section is only for making suggestions to add things to the game.

I just purchased the bar supplies factory for this weeks chain contest and it is not showing up in the game. So I moved it to another farm. Still nothing. Then I bought another one and that's not showing up either. The new ones are on 42 and 43
Help

Hi kperry7411,

First a warning for the future....please don't ever move facilities that are picked for the NCC once you have entered the contest as that can make you abandon the contest and there's no way to get you back into it.

The reason the other bar supplies is not counting is because you have 4 FC facilities in the contest which means you can only have 4 coin facilities in the contest and you currently have 3 Post Office (coin) and 1 Bar Supplies (coin) in the contest.

If you open the NCC manager in your tool box and then click on the Work button underneath each of this weeks facilities it should show you all of the ones being used and which farms they are on.

Hi!! Todays Brand NEW NCC Neighbor Chain Contest - my coin facilities are not matching the FC facilities. I just dropped way too much money (actual $$$ for FC) so :-) please help!! i have 7 each now for the two FC facilities (sadly the home depot store - have 8 & only 6 are showing) Thank you [mod edit: email removed for safety]
Facebook USER ID number is: 1169598069

NEVERMIND!!!! I read some comments and ... fix'd my bad self!! Operator error here!!! ALL SET!!! :-) Thank you!!

Hi lucy poland,

Well done for sorting this out yourself!

Just a note for the future should you need to post in the forum again. It's better not to add your email address to your post in a public forum. I have removed it from your post for you. We only require your USER ID number if we need to have a look at your data for you.

For the new NCC I had 4 FC facilities (3 Aquarium Supplies Factories; 1 Indoor Playground) & 3 coin facilities (2 China Buffet & 1 Rug and Mat Outlet). I added another Rug and Mat Outlet on farm 16 but it's not showing in either the NCC contest or the Facility Manager (sorted to show NCC regular & service facilities only).

I cleared cache & ran the FT memcache (2x each) but the new NCC facility still doesn't show up. Hope you can get this fixed or advise. Thanks for your help!

Hi BarbLH,
I moved your post to the Help & Support subject thread about the NCC. I have cleared your NCC data. Please close and reopen your farms and that should correct now.

Sorry, I know I should've posted in the NCC thread, guess I was asleep at the switch! I closed/reopened my farm. All is well now. Thanks for helping me :)

Hi zragonshark :)

Please describe which problem you have so we can try to help you.

Hi,
if a neighbour is not on your neighbourhood list and you work her factories, does the gained points count for the NCC or not?

Hi Palmarina :)

You get points for the NCC when you fill your factories and services for the week.
When those facilities are worked, then neighbors get products and help you to empty them so you can refill them faster and add points to NCC.

If this person is not your neighbor but you are her neighbor, then when you work her facilities, you will get products and will help her to empty her facilities faster and then refill them. But, as she is not your neighbor no points will be added to your NCC when she refills.
But everytime you fill your own facilities, those points will be added to her NCC as you are her neighbor.

I will check if I am her neighbour. She is my neighbour for sure.
But she doesn't appear on the "My neighbourhood chains" tab when I open the NCC window.

I thought that we added points by filling/producing the 4 facilities AND by working facilities of our neighbours.
Phew, it is complicated. LOL

She will only show up in your "My Neighbourhood chains" tab once she fills her own facilities.

Hi, my neighbour confirmed I am her neighbour too but she does not do the NCC quest.
That is the reason why she does not appear on the "My neighbourhood chains" tab.

Ah okis Palmarina, then she has NCC unchecked in her preferences, the wrench.

In case she decides to participate in it, please tell her to read the following information:

ok, thanks for all your help!

You are very welcome Palmarina :)

Not sure where to post this but in the current Neighborhood chain contest it is not showing that I have the Ambulance Supplies Facility which is on my #1 farm.

It was temporarily in storage and moved back to farm and still will not show on the NCC list nor give me credit for loading, etc.
