Dang it, I just finished growing corn about 2 months ago... I'm not growing another crop!

I have the Kang and Kodos toy from Playmates' "World of Springfield" from around ten years ago in my home office and our daughter thinks they're awesome. We played with them and then watched that exact episode just this Tuesday.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

So if you tap in someones corn, do you get the same XP they get? And that person gets the XP for that many taps?

So yeah, I'm asking if it works exactly as a tile.

With the little difference that one takes 3 days and the other 3 months, of course.

Maybe I can finally get the ice god. I've got a dozen or so spins saved up.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I didn't actually get a chance to do the router thing last night. I'll do it tonight. Between my 25 spins and the new odds, hopefully I'll get Claus Co without having to do the delete/reinstall thing too much.

Tried my luck with the new odds.

Got $1000, the one close to Claus Co.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I did the router trick tonight. I had 25 spins and got my last prize (Claus Co.) after four spins. And thank God I did; I didn't realize until two hours later that I hadn't turned off cellular, so I would have been mega-pissed if I didn't get the prize and reinstalled only to find that my data had synced and I was out all those spins with nothing to show for them.

Anyone else having an issue accessing their game? I was in it earlier today. I just launched it and it asked me to log back in to resume my game. Entered in my email address and it took me to a "Create account" page.

That is what happened to me initially the last time Origin was down.

I'm hoping to find that out myself. I have just sent friend requests to 3-4 folks over on TSTO Addicts who are advertising their Corn or Channel 6 as Ready-To-Tap... if they respond and accept my friendship, I'll go tap them to see what I get in return.

$45,000 and XP9000 per tap would be great
Getting that three times for one friend's town would be spectacular!

151 tiles + the 3 that come with the Squidport entrance tiles = 154 max

I've got 140 in all plus 3 waiting to be tapped. Time to think about corn.

I've got more than 90 tiles placed, 180 in storage, and two handshakes sitting on the entrance.

I had seen the 151 number before, but assumed that they had raised the limit. If not, maybe the app only checks against the limit when you're trying to build a new tile. I can't remember how many I had when the first Christmas update forced me to build a new tile.

I have 200 in inventory, 3 waiting to be tapped, and however many are in my boardwalk-not too many, maybe 30 or 40.

I'm trying hard not to tap all my ready tiles cuz I'm afraid I'll get the message that I've maxed out then. I haven't ever accidentally tapped a tile. The only time I had to rebuild one was after the Halloween update when it reset for everyone. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I'm fairly certain that you can re-store tiles you've placed. If you've physically got enough room for them (meaning, if you've purchased enough "sea" land), perhaps you could attempt to place another 90 tiles and see if you get stopped before you complete. Uncertain what risk, if any, you would be exposed to.

Anyone think of a reason why this would be a bad thing for bippitty to try?
