Upland has been the quiet virtual property game gradually picking up momentum. And now is setting the stage to roll out massive features in 2021. Here's a start. Last week we saw the end of the first of many Building Competitions, with neighbourhood Panhandle taking first place. Merced Manor and Dogpatch taking 2nd and 3rd respectively. This challenge created to setup ranking system for neighbourhoods. Here is the Panhandles Neighbourhood Statue ![]() COMPETITION DÉTENTE: We thought the dust was going to settle, Upland had different plans, we enter into another set of competitions. The first started Tuesday Jan 26/21 in Fresno. The difference from the Sandbox Neighbourhood Wars - no neighbourhoods. The players are building the most they can within the timeline allocated. A 3-day event. Every player starting off with the same amount of spud (the necessary token to execute a build). The cell towers that took away points in the first competition no longer exists, this time it is Llama statues that double the points of other players’ buildings with 30 meter radius - not your own. The timespan to complete the build of a structure build has been adjusted for these new mechanics. How well, participating players support and collaborate in this competition will be key. Prizes: Prizes for the top 10 winners. 1st receives a surprise Fresno collection property. COMPETITION LLAMAGEDDON:
Next Friday Jan 26/21, will be in San Francisco. Similar to the Détente competition with two exceptions. 1) Two separate tiers. Executive and Directors = tier 1, Pros and Uplanders = tier 2. 2) Players will be allowed to speed up their construction by spending UPX. The amount will be fixed and the UPX redistributed into the prize pool for the winners. As you can see a lot is starting to happen in LLAMAVERSE, and much more on the horizon.

What is it all about? Build alliances: Communicate with regional partners. Create a strategy: After building your alliance, you can plot your game strategy to achieve the best gains. Build: Construct according to the resources you have on your own properties. Each player is given a fixed amount of Spud (a predecessor token to a new token coming later in the year) used to build properties. Templates of different structures are available, each requiring a certain amount of time to complete. Unlike the Sandbox Practice where you can speed up your builds with UPX (in game currency), in this competition that feature is unavailable. However during the practice all the properties were removed, in this competition the properties remain. Each structure has a point value, these points will be added towards the total value for the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood with the most points wins. ![]() A snapshot of property builds beginning in the Little Hollywood neighbourhood. But, wait there is a counterpoint structure. A cell tower, this not only reduces the overall total point value but also can nullify property points within a certain radius. So plan wisely. LOL
