Tycoon Online FAQ

## Intro

Welcome to the new version of the FAQ's. This version is still being worked on. Please do feel free to help. The plan is to group the FAQ's into sections.

Please see Linking if you are unsure on how to make a link.

## New Questions

If you have a question you would like answered, please post it in the section **Unanswered questions**. Please make sure there is a blank line before and after your question. At the end of your question, put your name from the game and then four tilde (*~*) characters.

Note that this is a place for actual questions about the way the game works and is played. If you think there is an error in the game software, please post it in the game Forums instead.

If you answer a question here, please either move the question to its proper place in the structure below or, if unsure, place it in the section titled **Awaiting Classification.**

### Unanswered questions

What is Chaining, and is it good or bad?

How do I get office assignments in US Version ?

### Awaiting Classification

If you are going to classify a question, please remember that sometimes it needs to go in more than one category. This will make it easier for players to find what they need.

If there is no relevant category, then please consider making a new category for that item.

Lastly, if you see a question in the wrong category then please move it. However, consider whether it needs to be in more than one category and then copy it to the other category, do not just move it.
