LOL. I see what you did there...

I'm just glad that I've maxed out the real estate and don't have to worry about that anymore. I'm doing the monorail for the donuts.

That's the main reason I still go to KL!

majorjoe23

I've been visiting my KL for about two years and I don't think I've ever gotten donuts from Sideshow You.

I do find it handy for visits to neighbors' towns where it's tough to find 3 things to tap. I can usually find something in KL.

davidh777

Hmm, that seems odd. If you're tapping quickly, it's easy to miss, so maybe you have gotten some without noticing. It's not exactly lucrative. I think the numbers I heard were five donuts for every hundred games, and considering the game regenerates every eight hours, that's still over three months even if you're playing regularly.

I admire your dedication. If I can't find tappable things, I just skip straight to the next town.

iOS update showing in the App Store.

EDIT: Installed the update, and now the Unemployment Office is borked.

Raul3

Yep, I guess I will miss a few $100K a day now that the Unemployment Office is broken.

Halloween event looks fine so far.

And yep... micromanagement FTW!

davidh777

Man, the slithering amoebas are harder to spot than the snakes in the original whacking event. And the disco zombies look like they came straight out of Plants vs. Zombies.

Still figuring out this event, but it looks like I'd rather have zombie brains than snake eggs.

majorjoe23

On TSTO Addicts, they say the Unemployment Office was disabled so that people wouldn't automatically assign kids to non-Halloween tasks.

After people have had a few days to get into the new routine, it would be nice if assign all would return. I was already used to assigning my monorail and SH tasks before before assigning the rest.

The critters EA is using in this Halloween event are really annoying, Whacking Day annoying. I didn't even noticed the small pink bunnies until tonight. Also, are the brains the hardest currency to get? It seems the zombies don't re-spawn in my town that much.

davidh777

I think spawning zombies vs. snakes depends on which scary story you tell. I've been doing the zombies because the snake eggs don't look useful and the zombies are easier to tap.

Red Hood

I'm doing the same, but when I go to other towns it seems that I'm always tapping the green snakes and purple bunnies. Every once in a while, I'll see a town with zombies. Still, EA should have made a little clearer the concept of this event and should stop putting too many currencies for prizes. It seems that it will probably get worse on Act 2. By the way, the event is 42 days in total!! Damn!!

To upgrade your campfire, you need to tap varying things. To get to level 2, you needed 200 zombies; 200 snakes for level 3; 200 rabbits for level 4. That's zombies/snakes/rabbits, not the goods (brains/eggs/ears). And, of course, the different goods can be used to craft different things.

Red Hood

Thanks for the info. Just crafted the Spooky House and it prompted me to repeat the same mission that I had last year with Bart and Hugo. That's kind of lame. So far, it seems I will be able to get most of the prizes.

davidh777

Thanks for the info! After switching to snakes to craft the spooky house (which I already have three of) to move the quest along, I randomly switched to bunnies, thereby wasting a round of nightmares because I didn't know I needed snakes to upgrade the camp. So this morning I switched to snakes, and half an hour in I upgraded to level 3 and now need bunnies. And now that I look closely at the nightmare screen, there's an arrow pointing to bunnies. I think they could do a better job of telling us what we're supposed to do. Regardless, I think I should be able to hit the levels.

I guess that's possible, though it sounds a bit like a CYA thing.

davidh777

Upgrade level 5 requires skeletons. I know this because I restarted the bunnies because the arrow was again pointing to the bunnies, but I wasn't accumulating anything toward the goal. I then noticed there was a skull at the beginning of the meter indicator. So that's another half-day wasted.

mh4268

Right now I am just going to concentrate and get enough supplies to get Hugo. Since this my first Halloween event, I don't have him.

davidh777

So as it turns out, I probably couldn't have spawned skeletons anyway since Bart was on a quest. Building them now.

I just tapped on Miss Springfield thinking she was a skeleton.

Red Hood

The pet cemetery will spawn bunnies/snakes every 9 hours too. It seems that the goals are attainable if you have a lot of kids in your town, specially the premium ones that earn double of everything.

By the way, anyone know where I can find a list of all characters in the game? I thought that I had them all but when I visited a town I saw a Paris Hilton looking character and didn't know who she is or where she came from.

davidh777

Yeah, I should probably move the pet cemetery over by my campfire. It's tucked off to the side with the other holiday stuff, and I'm probably not refreshing it as much as I could. However, I don't really need any of the crafting stuff.

The Paris Hilton character is from the real-estate quest.

I got donuts from Sideshow You!

House of Evil weekly challenge is now available. The house cost 90 donuts last year but it is free this time. Make sure you store the house of evil first as people are reporting glitches with not seeing the weekly challenges if you place the house initially. You can try to go to your neighbors or Krustyland to remove the glitch. The first challenge is to tell 4 scary stories. You will get 20 donuts for completing all weekly challenges.

Is there an advantage to crafting multiples of the things that use the various resources? I have one of each now and can craft others. But not sure there is a real advantage.

I've got my campfire up to level 5 now and 35 zombies away from level 6. I am almost to the next to the last prize, The doughnut costume.

Overall I like this event and having to switch stories to change which item spawns is interesting. As long as I remember to check which one is needed to upgrade the campfire.

davidh777

I've got the glitch. Went to Krustyland, went to a neighbor, stored and put it back, rebooted the game--no help.

Wait, I just rebooted the game again, and now it works! I missed out on one story because I got the house last night and finished a story this morning, but I should be able to get through four anyway.

The only item that seems of use is the spooky house, since that generates $ and XP. I also got the Impossible Tower because I didn't have that already, but it doesn't appear to do anything.

chowderhead

yeah, I am saving my items in case there are other things to craft that I don't have in act2/3.

Raul3

Yeah, I'm saving my items too.

House of Evil challenges can be interesting. They give you 20 donuts if you complete all of them!!!

davidh777

The second House of Evil challenge was interesting.
