Let me introduce you this game. I will recite from the official dcity manual post that you can check for more information about this game in their post @dcitygame/dcity-manual

dCITY is a city simulator game based on Hive-Engine Non Fungible Tokens. The NFTs represent assets in the game. Each individual card a building, citizen, etc., and the total collection of your cards is your city. dCITY allow players to optimize their cities in terms of buildings, population, and income. The aim of the game is to buy new buildings, but also use diplomacy and tact with fellow players to achieve the materials you need to grow and prosper. Obviously, there are several ways you can approach this, but we’ll let you learn them on your own and test them out.

This is a numbers game, but with the added randomness of society. There will be events which can have either a positive or negative impact on your city, depending on how your city is built. Choose wisely when helping or refusing to help another player. They might need your help today, but you never know when you might need their help in the future.

Chasing SIM Ranked

Based on that explanation, getting into 400 leaderboard of SIM Income ranked is important if you want to mint the Free Citizen every day, and so I'm trying to get into it by having 2 wind turbine yesterday, and now I need the NFT that can give the tax refund.

Trying to Get 4 Tax Refund, but Got 1 Dead Citizen (Again)

My choice is to get 1 soldier and 1 eco activist. I chose soldier because they could give 1 tax refund plus war share (I want to learn more about it, and wonder how much it could generate SIM). Eco activist is another choice because they can give me 2 tax refund with cheap price. But my plan is facing trouble, because once again, I got zonk from the market, because what I bought the soldier ended up as dead citizen again

I think this needed to stop, I really hate this market system, where I feel I got a false information. I mean if they dead already, the system should remove them from the market. This way, people not going to sell their NFT at the last day of their lifetime again in order to fool new people that join this game with limited knowledge like me. Now I rethink again about getting citizen, and might chose to get building instead.

What I've Learned So Far

For the new people that want to play this game and for myself as reminder, I would like to put some point that I've learned about this game :
1.Citizen have it's own life, once they meet their limit of NFT minted, the old one will dead. So it's better bought the newest id of citizen;
2.Building have no expired, so they will long last;
3.Put NFT on market and you will lose it's effect on your city. This can help you to offload the dead citizen or other cards with negative effect;
4.Top 400 from SIM Income will get you free mint for the young citizen NFT.
5.Always look at ID of citizen when you want to bought them, because the system won't remove them even they are dead already on selling process, you might get dead people instead.

Next Step

I sell my dead citizen again, in order to remove it's negative stats. I'm suprised with just 2 income I could get into 383 position.

But it seems that it's not yet snapshooted or do I need to be sim milionare as well after the leaderboard rank ? I thought it was 2 way, or it's one way with 2 criteria that should met ?

Well, I'm still waiting for my bid to fill, but since there is higher bid with high volume, I think it's gonna take some times, or I might go for the asking price instead.

Final Words

~Thank You~
