On the friendship community activity, I earned

the first prize and saw the counter to reset to zero. It's going to be a long way to 2000 for the next prize.

Yep. That sucks. I saw that and closed the game.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

The fact that there's a maximum of four opportunities to help a neighbor is really going to make accumulation slow.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Doesn't seem too bad so far, getting close to 700 per day. Since I have plenty of cash, the only things I'm tapping in my own town are the handshakes and mops. That way people have something to tap in my town, since the only time people can tap on your stuff is when you have the dollar sign, cash register, or menu, in addition to a few of the special buildings.

I think a Kindle can only be linked to one account so you may have to back up your friends stuff, factory reset, do your thing, factory reset again, relink to your friends amazon and then reload his stuff. But basically yeah.

Well, if you tap all of the 10, 5, 4, and 2 FP towns (that's 40 neighbors with 3 taps each), you'll generate 630 FP per day. You can chase the 1 FP towns if you have the time, I typically stop at that point and wait 24h for everything to regenerate.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

My town is more tapped than ever, thanks to the new FP feature. That's a good idea on EA's part and I wonder if they'll do more prizes beyond these initial few. Man, we need a new level or something, too, I'm racking up so much cash I picked up the world's largest zirconium diamond and didn't even blink.

Nice to be back. I'll go back into this thread and take a look at who has asked to join the OP.

I earned the second prize today, so that took four days. Granted, I was busy over the weekend and didn't spend much time on the game.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

What are the prizes?

I just can't seem to be bothered with this new EA scheme.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

The guy running tstotopix.me had his town trashed by a random person. How damned hard is it to put people into the correct towns? Why hasn't EA fixed this?

I read that story too. First of all, spend some of that donut cash on fixing your servers, EA. Second, why be a POS and trash someone else's town because (I assume) you're mad at EA?

My guess is that mostly it's just vandalism rather than anger at EA. Some people would even justify it by saying, "Look how much this idiot spent on donuts. I should teach him a lesson."
