Don't you just need to show a profit to get the avi? If so then you have
loads of time to do that and I am still expecting to be able to make a
million and get the 100,000np prize.
A bit of advice (in no particular order) that will help get you the avi,
if you are interested....
1. Make only plushies that require 3 cloth.
2. Use green cloth but the best of everything else.
3. Wait until gems are less than 2000 and packing less than 1000 before
buying, even if that means an empty factory.
4. Do jobs of 100 only until you can fill the factory and then progress
to 200, 300 etc.
5. Only use journeymen and employ at the rate of 10 journeymen for 1
manager.
6. Start with at least 4 jobs, 6 if the raw materials are cheap enough.
7. Expand your warehouse to 3 or 4 early on, and don't forget to visit
the warehouse as soon as your plushies are made as the "shipping" clock
doesn't start until you do - I use an alarm clock set to go off at 1
minute past the hour.
8. Buy all the smaller shop adverts straight away and spend any money
left on the small upgrades. I have experimented and this gives better
results than buying the more expensive ads and upgrades.
Can't think of anything else at the moment except maybe don't forget the
tax man comes on the 6 day (at least I think it is the 6th day at the
moment) to the minute of when you started your game so if you have more
than 50,000nps at the point spent it before he comes or he will take a
cut. No tax is paid if you have less than 50,000np cash on hand.
