Interesting. I guess I am progressing with Wolfcastle. Just don't recall that many other people in the game getting mission quests for another character.

Sweet! On the basis of a random number generated by the app, I just won $200k at the dog track. Which puts me within spitting distance of Wolfcastle's mansion -- I'll probably be able to start construction tomorrow morning.

Finally managed to get the Homer Buddha trick to work. Though I didn't get anything good yet. Tried 5 times. Saw a dumpster, bench, mystery box, tree, and another bench. Was happening for a good premium item like a building of character. Will try more tomorrow.

I pretty much only get 60 donuts these days. I don't think I have seen 150 donuts in 2-3 weeks now. Feels like EA may have done some tweaking to hurt the glitch a bit.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
It's annoying to involve a lot of other characters because it's too easy to set them on long-running tasks then discover you need them to progress. While I usually like to let the game develop, I admit I took a cheat-peek at the task list above just so I would know who to leave free. Who wants to continually set 25 different characters on short-running tasks just in case you need them?

I mistakenly put Wiggum on a 24 hour task that the game randomly (or maybe not randomly) picked for me. I forgot that I needed him to trigger the next Wolfcastle task. Wolfcastle and Cletus were 2 hours from finishing the task they had. So, I have to wait until tonight to continue on.

I do get a kick out of going to someone's town, and then seeing 15 different characters come pouring out the Kwik-E-Mart.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
That's what I follow.. Other than the game randomly giving tasks to a few characters, everyone is always on the same time length task. That's why I wish they would code in a feature to put all available characters on x length task.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
I live by the same task length as well.
There's a trick to stopping someone's task though if you need them free in order to move on with a quest. Move the building that unlocked the character into storage and then place it back and the character will be taskless.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
Yeah, I line up my characters as much as possible, but as has been said sometime side quests etc. throw that off, or sometimes I just don't have time to reassign everyone at once then things get off. The tricky part is the eight-hour task for Rex Banner because it involves Flanders (one of my favorite animations, by the way 
), and if I space and assign Flanders first, then I'm stuck with four or 12 hours for Rex. Or sometimes I don't have the right buildings (e.g., I have no four-hour task for Ralph Wiggum).
Wolfcastle is nearly done at El Chemistri so I took another look at the quest list above to see what's next, and that's just one long-ass list. Thanks to Raul3 for posting it.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
I thought I had the Buddha timing down, but now I just bought a planter and a mystery box with cash in it. Trying to build up to buy Lincoln.

That was irritating.
I've thought about buying Lincoln, but he was never an important part of any episode I saw. Is he worth buying?

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
If you put Flanders on the Emergency Bible Studies task you should just put the house in inventory and place it again. I'll usually do the inventory trick if I make a mistake assigning tasks (as long as the associated building doesn't earn money / earns money quickly).
The other day, though, I assigned somebody to a "Drink at Moe's" task that I wanted him out of and put Moe's in my inventory, forgetting that Marge was in the middle of a 24-hour task as part of Herman's quest. That was irritating.

My Mystery Box gave me a Homer Buddha so I decided to give another try at the power off trick and long story short, I have way more picket fences than I could ever possibly use.
