Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
Argh, to many people using the letter "L"I will try to think of something else. Maybe I will do an "i" or something.
or a "T" I dunno.
I'm sitting around 1.5 million and the escalator, skyscraper and magnifying glass are already mine. Next quest is to buy all available land, and then $$$$$ should really start to flow my way.

Eggs: Who gots 'em, who needs 'em?
I had a busy weekend and I haven't had a chance to leave eggs for people, so they've been piling up. I have about 400 now I'm looking to unload. Let me know your in-game name if you want me to drop some of them on you.
Reciprocal drops are always appreciated (my snake total is a hair above 3300, so I've got a long way to go) but not necessary. My Origin name is WilliamTBunny.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
I did "dump" some eggs on people's lawns over the weekend, by the way. When I see a nice big palette of lawn and I've got 100 eggs to spare, I can't pass up the opportunity to leave my "mark."

I'll gladly accept all egg drops from whomever has eggs to spare. If you want some in return, just let me know and I'll drop a bunch in your town.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
How do you all get perfect straight lines when you leave eggs? I try and then it gets so frustrating on the iPhone as the screen is small and trying to line things up is difficult.

FYI, I egged you again for 100 (total of 2 times so far) in case you have more to egg me back.

But it's kind of easier to do these bulk swaps. I can trade a hundred if Gooter, JasonF, or Vryce still wants to.EDIT: Lateralus, I'll hit you since I saw your L on my lawn. I'm pretty sure it wasn't my own L.

For the ones that are not level 28, or are just starting, just be patient. Enjoy the game! Enjoy the storyline! 
Just watch out for the limited items, like the ones related to the snakes.
Don't worry about money, as you level up you'll have more characters, and lot of tasks to do, so money comes faster. Also some buildings go down in price with time. I can easily get more than $50K a day. And if I try really hard and do a lot of 1 hour tasks I can easily get to $100K.

You've been egged!

I play on an iPad so it's nice and big.
Oh, and you've been re-egged.
Nah, it makes more sense for you to use L than me. I'll switch. Generally I've been leaving 6-8 each on a group of a half-dozen or so regulars, though I'm less inclined when I visit and they already have tons of great stuff or if they still have the eggs sitting there from my last visit.
But it's kind of easier to do these bulk swaps. I can trade a hundred if Gooter, JasonF, or Vryce still wants to.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
I decided I was tapping this game too much and redid my house farm. Took out all of the brown houses because I was having the phone at my side while working at my desk to tap every five minutes for a couple days. While it was unobtrusive for the most part, that's just plain ridiculous. I replaced it with a purple house farm that will respawn money every three hours and that seems much more manageable / realistic.
Divided up the town so it's the house farm near the coast, a nice neighborhood at the mountains, a row for eggs, a row for public buildings, a row for the city park, and the miracle mile. Also built a giant parking lot for the church because I like church.
I've also gotten better about timing out citizen tasks based on my availability and am not afraid to send them away for twelve hours and not check the phone. It was easy to just click over to the game, just like I would easily pop on Facebook or check my email but it was taking a little more time than I would like. I'm hopeful this change helps me feel like I'm building money at a helpful pace and that I truly don't get "tapped out" on it.

Thanks! Egged you back.

I have definitely switched my task strategy, assigning characters to 12- or even 24-hour jobs based on when I'm going to play and whether or not the task keeps them inside or outside.
The downside is when there are missions like Fat Tony's Compound and the people are already tied up for hours, but oh well.

Anybody else's two goons not finishing storyline quests?
I login after telling them to do their quest and they are just walking around like I told them not to do anything.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
Just hit vryce and dogmatica for 50 each. Have a few of you on my list for the next hit.
Thanks! Only five eggs and sometimes I still mess up the alignment.
Those guys are tricky. Like for interrogation, they both need to be available, but you only get credit on the goon who initiates the action. It took me a couple tries.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
Been egging a couple of towns whenever I can. Hopefully I can get egged also.
Edit: thanks to those who came to my town and egged it earlier!

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
No need to egg my town anymore (phiesey) I have less than 2000 snakes to tap and I am finished.
I will pay attention to the thread and drop eggs to whoever is asking for them.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
Egged JasonF back and also dropped on Toddarino, though there wasn't much space available there. 
Thanks for the update, as I wonder sometimes who is still playing the game. Not really a big problem as long as I'm not wasting eggs on them, of course.
Though I was just feeling proud of myself for hitting three of your logs/stumps this morning.
