Bethie sucks.

So on this Tiny Tower thing (yes I hate you). I find it takes to long to make money and then the new towers cost a lot.  I'm up to 6 levels.  Is it better to have 3 people working in each store? So then I need more apartments?   Teach me.

CaliopeSpidrman

She truly is the devil.

I usually build a residential level every third level or so.  You definitely want 3 people working in each store so you can have more inventory.  And if you want a jumpstart, trade some towerbux in at the bank for money.

Badgerengr

You want more people at each store because the third item at each store earns more money than the second and the second more than the first. So you'll earn money faster if you have more people at the store. I try to make sure that I always have at least 2 employees in each store so that when I'm restocking one item I still make money on the other item already in stock.

I just built level 26. It's a dentist office.

I get way too much joy evicting people right after they move in if they don't have any skillz (or the skillz I need).

I haven't done that yet and now I'm looking forward to it.

Yes, you always want 3 people working in your stores, which means you need 3 residential floors for every 5 business floors. I also like having a couple of open residential spots for people to move into. I'm an evil landlord like Cali and gleefully evict my least-skilled resident as soon as someone new moves in.

My 19th floor will be finished in 3 hours and 47 minutes unless a construction worker shows up.

Hahahahaha. One of my RL friends asked for iPad recs yesterday and I said "Tiny Tower!" Today she left a comment on my wall saying "goddamm your Tiny Tower". Mwahhahahahahahaha.

Also, the Bitbook cracks me up sometimes. Someone just wrote "working at the pottery studio is my passion. That and LOL cats". 

CaliopeSpidrman

I like to yell, "Curse you, Tiny Tower!" like Vector in Despicable Me whenever it keeps giving me construction workers when I'm not building stuff or goddamn people wanting to use the elevator to go to the first floor.  TAKE THE STAIRS YOU LAZY BASTARDS.

Or when that hussy of a realtor only puts shiitty tenants in my apartments. Biitch.

BobLoblaw

I got someone with 0s straight across their interests. Bye bye, lame wad! 

Everyone on my building wants to work for an ad agency. Or martial arts.

20% of my Bitizens are working at their dream job.  Jealous?

jens_a_ten

I've got level 23 currently being built.

Bethie's an assshole.

EssBe

I'm obsessed with getting people into their dream job.  I evict people if I already have three with that same dream job.  If you have a floor with three people working in their dream job, you stock faster and get more stuff.

That, and I feel sorry for someone whose dream job is working at a Frozen Yogurt place.  Poor little buddy.

I said dream job a LOT in this post.

Kitkatpattywhack

This is all good to know.  So do any of your people have smiley faces or are they all just straight faces?  I have person with their dream job and it's in the shoe store, I felt sorry for him.  He is also the one that always puts "Haters gonna Hate" on his Bitebook.  

TheDuckis

I have 9 out of 30 in dream jobs. Suck it, Cali.

EssBe

All my people that are in their dream job (I won't tell you how many because it's sad how much I play this game) have happy faces.  I have two unemployed with sad faces.

 

I did have a couple that had sad faces even though they had jobs.  I evicted their asses.

TheDuckis

Sometimes I evict people when they complain about their jobs on Bitbook. It's so unprofessional!

(And it's possible I take this a little too seriously.)

Kitkatpattywhack

Mine aren't sad faces, but they aren't full on smiles either. Just a straight line.  How do I make them happier?  And why do I care about this game so much?

TheDuckis

Putting them in their dream job makes them smiley. I thought it was always a frown for unemployed, a straight face for just any job, and smiley for dream job, but it looks like that's not always the case.

Thanks to this post, I love Tiny Tower even though I do not have an ipad and will never play it. I now expect you people to post regular updates on your towers and the lazy bastards who live in them.

Me too.  I refuse to download this thing.  Refuse.  I can't do it.

WENDY!  You have to!!!!  I promise, it doesn't disappoint. And not as involved as We Rule.

 Has anyone done any of the Missions?

Andplusalso - share your tower.

Oh, and explain what the stars on the elevator are for. 

 And since I'm obviously a dork, anyone want to be game center friends so we can be tower friends? 

TheDuckis

The stars show that you have people in their dream jobs on that floor.

 

CaliopeSpidrman

Where are the missions?  I'm wondering if I don't have them since I'm playing the Droid version.  My elevator doesn't have stars either.

Theyre under the menu option.  It's combos of things--like it's award night and you need to have teeth whitening (dentists office) and a haircut (barber shop). I don't have any match ups yet.  

Badgerengr

I just completed the award night mission this afternoon. It's not very exciting though. It just takes the items when you stock the store instead of putting them on your "shelves" and then when you get enough of each item it give you tower bux.

I guess Bethie should have only recommended this game to Lanie

Once you get a few more stores going you'll find the money starts to add up much more. I was so annoyed in the beginning because it felt like I was never getting any money.

SHOW ME THE MONEY!

They'll also have a frown if you put them in a job they aren't qualified for.  So, if they have a "3" for food and you give them a job in food they will have a frown.  Evict their asses.
