Totally understand that delays happen. The notification system on here leaves almost everything to be desired. I've never noticed it actually working for anything actually useful!
Maybe when I get some time I'll have another look at it. For my 'simcity' scratch I've been playing Cities in Motion 2 or more often, Cities XXL.
So if you're on Discord and you want a solution for notifications, check out the fantastic new project called GINAbot. It's great for on the spot notifications for all things Steemit!
Thanks for the suggestions for the other games. I'll definitely look into them!
