Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

From what I've read, Gil always overrides the confirmation setting. I have seen other people get refunded. They were told that the mansion would be deleted. Once it was done they wouldn't be able to change their minds later and buy it again.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

I don't think I'm getting Satans Anvil. Unless they extend the game.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

I sent you a friend request.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Pretty sure I confirmed you. Deleted a bunch of people that haven't been playing at the same time. I'm still tapping on all my friends' towns even though I've reached my goals. Trying to help you all reach Satan's Anvil.

One of the things I like to do in this game (especially when I'm done with the storylines and quests) is send characters to do outdoor tasks and try to get them all in the same place. I do it in my town park section a lot and recently did a nice batch on my Evergreen Terrace and Independent Business Owners sections of Springfield. Here's the result:



(Spoilered for Size)

Some funny things I tried to do in the process...

-Chester sleeping on a bench right outside of the Solid Gold House
-Stampy blocking the entrance to Oscar's Obstacles
-Moe spying on "Midge" in the backyard of her house
-Barney passed out near Moe's
-Otto walking between the Office of Unemployment and Department of Motor Vehicles (reference to the episode where he lost his license and job)
-Kearny dancing next to the Grumple while he's playing his drums
-Rex Banner interrogating Flanders and Flanders pointing to Homer (reference to the episode where Rex Banner is searching for Homer who is supplying the town with alcohol)
-Grampa Simpson falling asleep while Lisa attends her gymnastics lesson (note the barbed wire around Lugash's Gym)

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Very nice screenshot! The one thing you're missing that always makes me laugh: have The Yes Guy Moonlight as a security guard (which he does at the Kwik-E-Mart) while Snake tries to rob the Kwik-E-Mart.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Wow. That football field is pretty awesome. And no way I'm getting the anvil. Oh well.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Finished my 400-emblem task 20 minutes before midnight! :eek:

Love the shots of funny stuff people are doing with their town. :up:

If it's any consolation on the anvil,

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

I bought the gold house as well, the only reason being is that I could not read what it said, (Playing on the iPhone) but I figured it was from Gil so it must be a pretty good deal... well I was wrong! Sorry Story, I get upset when i lose a couple donuts, I can't imagine 250! Hopefully you get them back. If that happened to me I would probably just quit!

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Just went through all of my friends' towns so hopefully some of you can get some last minute emblems from me. If I have time I'll try to tap once more before the event ends too. Good luck everyone!

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

I forgot we were getting so close. :eek: I made a run through a number of friends, especially those under 30K.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Still only at 19,500 or so emblems due to being out of town for a week and not taking full advantage of the emblem-gathering process in the first week. Was trying to shoot for Lenny and Carl but they may be out of reach, hope not, though. Otherwise, I've now seen the Stonecutters' Table in some of your towns and that animation indeed is hilarious and I wish I could've gotten there!

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

I should be active in the game for the last couple days in case anyone wants to hit my lodge, wait for me to refresh it, then come back and hit it again. I know the effort may not be worth it just for a few emblems gained, but it might if you're close.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Anyone blow up their town? I'm tempted as I need an overhaul but there are some designs that I have made that I like and it seems very time consuming to rebuild everything. I got the 35K emblems so I have a down period, but a July 4th roll out should be coming very soon.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Thanks. I took a design from TSTOaddicts.com and modified it for my space. There's also a baseball field next door.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Yeah, restoring the buildings would be one thing, but all the other pieces that you need to maintain your ratings and multipliers would be the killer.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Also, for those of you that are trying to squeeze some extra time out of the event to get some more emblems...when they do the takedown for this event it will probably be a manual update. If you don't do the update you might be able to get some more emblems even beyond the actual end of the event

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

There may not be too much wiggle room. I have read that the coding for the daily tasks only goes through the third. Once the update hits, you shouldn't be able to visit anyone who has updated. They should still be able to visit you, but they're taps could revert back to the money, leaving you no emblems.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

That's too bad.

Anyway, with around 6 hours left I went back and re-visited every one of my friends. Hope it helps!

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

I think I'm going to end up just 100-200 emblems short for the Stone of Triumph. Bummer!

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Did you calculate out to July 3? Even if everyone else updates tomorrow that would give you 1,000 emblems from Number 1 tasks for the second and the third. Might get you a late start for anything coming for July 4.

It's going to be really close. After all 1,000 from Number 1 for July 2, I still have a small handful to go. If people keep tapping my town today as much as or more than people did today and yesterday I think I'll just make it, thanks.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

I was going to ask if you might want to buy something to push you over the top but then I remembered you have no donuts. :sad:

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Quick question for the long term players. Do they ever discount the price of donuts? I want some more premium buildings but they price the things so damn cleverly. Thx.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

The fireworks barge is a nice multiplier for the price, so I'll probably get that.

I meant to get Lincoln back in the day but the offer expired a day before I expected. :sad:

That $10 million restaurant is insane! :eek: I've been buying just enough bloodmobiles to keep myself right around 10 million, so it could be done, but I wouldn't want it to happen when I need cash for a quest.

They do. Gil will offer around 25% off day-old donuts. However, it's hard to predict when this will happen. It's usually at the start of a major event, but it's not every major event. I don't know if we've gotten once since holiday.
