That's it.. the vacuum cleaner thing that Homer jokes is like a Roomba or similar device. Thanks.

Also, looks like the one site I saw was wrong. The game is well above 1 billion taps for the community prizes, however the first hasn't unlocked.

Pretty sure it is 5 billion for just the first prize.

Yeah, I guess it's 5 billion for the first prize, other way we will get all community prizes in one week :lol:

Is there a way to check on the current global GOO level?

bluetoast 10-03-13 11:52 PM

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
Yeah it should be in the info option when you click on the ghost on the top right.

Click on the trophy that shows all the prizes in the lower right, then click on the picture of the group of people in the lower right, homer pic shows you your individual prizes.

Found it. Thanks! Looks like we're on track to hit 5 billion by mid-October.

I don't know if it has happened to any of you but I tapped a ghost and it gave me one goo and one doughnut! Didn't know this could happen.

I think the rough odds are like for every 1-in-100 ghosts, you get a gremlin, and for 1-in-1000, you get a donut. I think I've gotten four or five so far.

The donut thing also happens in other peoples Springfields as well.

JasonF 10-04-13 07:32 AM

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
No donuts from ghost tapping for me yet, but I got five donuts in the Krustyland balloon-pop game yesterday. Woo-hoo!

discostu1337 10-04-13 09:18 AM

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
I seem to get 3-4 donuts a day tapping ghosts/buildings. Never got one from Krustyland so these odds are much better.

It looks like the total community ghosts goes up about 5,000 a second, pretty impressive.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
I got a donut earlier today from tapping a ghost. Also hit the level up again and luckily picked the box with 3 donuts in it.

I had a weird glitch happen today, twice, while visiting another person's Springfield.

If you tap on 3 buildings and then release a gremlin just as the "thank you for visiting" message comes up, the screen tracks the gremlin with the "thank you for visiting" message moving around the screen. You can't tap to dismiss it and I had to crash out of the game to get back to where I had control. The first time was a surprise. I did it again to test it and it messed up the game again.

Jacoby Ellsbury 10-04-13 02:23 PM

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
^^^That glitch you can get out of as soon as the gremlin stops without having to close out the game... at least in my experience. Happens just about every time the message and gremlin coincide.


Also, have gotten up to 8 goo per friend visit, clicking the last 4 in a row in a rapid succession. Averaging about 1200 goo a day. Kinda saving my gremlins to help those who need it to reach the next level as the deadline closes in. Not sure if it would be better to just let the gremlins run wild once I reach 10K in my own springfield or tap em and let others release as well. I won't be losing any sleep over this, but something to consider.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
Is there a list of who can interact with what buildings? For example it's a little weird seeing the Diner and the Flower shop being constantly unused.

And yeah I had the above gremlin glitch happen, like Jacoby said, it stops when the gremlin stops.

Lateralus 10-04-13 08:49 PM

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
Ugh, this is taking forever I have too many friends!

Anybody notice that if you go to another Springfield and you tap on a haunted building you get two goos instead of the normal 1 goo and money if you tap on a non-haunted building.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
In case anyone needs/wants more Springfields to visit, you can add ravioli742 (oops sorry gang) and artiepants04. It's my brother and a friend. They only have like four towns to visit so their goo count is pretty low.

Krustyland appears to be completely borked, for like a couple days now. -ohbfrank-

The Maude 24-hour animation is great. :)

It appears the prize at 2250 GOO is simply

a decoration

I know Rex Banner has a 24-hour task in the diner but I don't know if I've ever sent anyone to the flower shop.

At least the new interface makes it really easy to see who's active in Halloween and who's not. :up:

I did this successfully, but I wonder what the implications are. Am I making that house "unhaunted" and thereby getting that second GOO by taking it out of the hands of that Springfield? :confused:

And if I drop a gremlin in someone's town that they don't catch before four hours are elapsed, I assume it disappears and they never know I dropped it? More GOO for me, but kind of a bummer that they don't know I gave them the chance.
