Even though I have completed 1 island in 8 days, I must still say that 8 days target is really tough. It really depends on very careful planning and alot of luck. I don't even think I can repeat that feat again. I was stuck with many 9/10 day islands until luck came about and I got one done in 8 days. Completing an island in 9 days isn't really that hard once u get sufficient experience.
I've actually compiled some of the tips/hints & observations I gained from my experience and also tips/hints from other players. I have posted them over at these pages:
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3
Part 3 of the guide is the critical one as I have listed pretty details goals to achieve in order to complete an island in 9 or 10 days.
To go down to 8 or 9 days, you need to aim for a very high population within the first 3 or 4 days, and forget about sheds (of course you should have at least 1 shed around) until your population gets sufficiently high. For the first few days, my islands are usually flooded with houses and loads of LIPs (usually 15 to 20 and gravitator level below 3). After that, I slowly start to build sheds and destroy the houses.
The reason why a high population is my first goal is because it is easiest to increase the population only in the first few days. Furthermore, you do not have much money to spend on other stuff. Houses are the cheapest, so make full use of the limited funds to go for high population.
