That's my impression. Something to tie us over till the Valentine's Day update.

LOVE the pictures!!! An already beautiful park, made stunning by the snow!! Very nice!

Somehow I thought that the Spruce Caboose would be more interesting. I agree that the elf Ralph is quite funny. Nice to know that the island isn't anything special, as I'm at 20,000 bells now, am I'm not too sure im going to make it. (I'm always running out of elves!)

Mine still is. Deleted the game, restored. Everything I can think of. Still nothing. How do you "hard close" an app? Is that by swiping it up off the screen (after double tapping the home button)? Tried that too.

When it said "plunger" I was wondering if it had anything to do with the "worlds largest toilet" that's been in the hidden files for a LONG time. Oh well, this sounds good too.

Probably that the proper time has has not yet elapsed. I have noticed that sometimes the tunnels do not become available until 7am (PST).

I haven't seen any yet. I saw the label talking about it in the reg home screen. Gonna have to do some snooping now.

Gil is back. The Black Friday deals (so far) are selling certain items that you bought with donuts, back to EA for (substantially less) donuts. But the offer is only available for the certain items during specific time periods only, over this weekend. So you need to log in to see what you may want to sell back.

Yeah. I'm kind of surprised that there's no real Thanksgiving update, no matter how small. This story line with Freddy is kinda dumb.

Yes, it is a skin for Mr. Burns. This seems to be a common problem. Have you checked your inventory? Or, do you have Burns on a task? Also, check the finder by using the town hall (not just the peep finder in the upper left corner). I knew you would be when I logged in and saw that the event had not ended. I hesitated in suggesting earlier holding on to donuts (no info, just a gut feeling) in case the event didn't end at the scheduled time.

I got UBO late Saturday night. No squishing for me either. Still getting bags and bombing UFO's though. I got 30 donuts twice more in two days, and ended up getting the prep school with McBains daughter. I've also just been building the blue/purple brick walls, as they increase the % you get from things. The crossover episode was ok. Kinda wished for an hour long episode for more story development. Not bad though, with what they had. Bring on Christmas!!

I don't see why not. If there's $$ to be made....

I would agree that FG is much funnier, but the game play kinda killed it for me. Maybe I'm just not smart enough for that one.

^&^^ I find that strange. I was playing FG twice as much, and getting nowhere. I mean NOWHERE. I couldn't get any prizes in time, and was always left hanging. I stopped playing about a week ago. In TSTO, I'm not having any problems. Just playing for about 2 min every 2 hours (collecting aliens) and then every 8, collecting and redeeming bags. I'm nowhere near the leader board (9th I think) of the squishing leader board (which means NOTHING!), since there are no rewards for being on that board. I also visit friends every 24+ hrs to collect aliens (up to 90) and moving along the story lines. (Kang is now on his 3rd 24hr task). I already have the DIET sign and have only 3 (??, I think) bags and then Ghost Burns, which I don't care about anyway. I haven't spent any donuts except to get the drive-in (which only pays out money.), and I think Uter's building. But I have won about 50 donuts (incl. a 30 donut win like others have said) just from opening bags. Dunno. I was thinking that this was a bit easier than the last few challenges.

They're both animated, and kinda cool. The donut machine also has a 36hr job for Homer. It's really up to you, and what you'd like to have.

Yeah, the pumpkin house is a waste, if you already have one. The second one doesn't give out another pumpkin either (24hrs). I don't know if a second spooky house will give another bag (also 24hrs) or if your stuck with it. Like a lot of the crap you get, you cannot sell the damn things.

Finally got the helicopter-copter thingy. It looks cool. Really doesn't do anything except lift off the ground a little and make a machine gun noise. Time to start saving eggs for the next challenge. Oh joyjoy!

I can't agree enough. ANNOYING!! Anyway, I'm less than 1000 ray guns from the helicopter thingy! Then I can send my peeps on their tasks that I've let stack up. (Like the damn bouncy house!)

My mistake. I meant "The Grand Pumpkin". The pumpkin house IS the same as last years. Evidently the "craft" menu (ray gun in the top right) will just have things added to it. Those do not expire, and will probably be there for the duration. Once you get the donut torture device, you have ALL the prizes for this round. No one is sure if hoarding gift bags will carry over to the next challenge or not. It seems like everyone is in the same boat until the next challenge is revealed. Also, if you tap on the Simpson house, you get the inventory for Moe's clothes.

I've been thinking the same thing. I'm still rolling thru Hugo's "good son" quests. I'm still working on the pumpkin house (NOT the same as last years, from what I've read), and the spooky house, so I'll still working on the gift bags. I'll do some looking. The ONLY thing I'm not using right now is the ammo. I'm hoping that holding those may carry over for better stuff, during the next challenge.

Ditto!!

Great. New update today. Dialog says you need homer to start new task (finding Moe's clothes). I'm only 8 hrs in to the 36 hour torture machine task for Homer. Ugh.

Never thought of that! D'oh!!

I haven't found anything else. But, the ray gun generates an ammo shell every 8 hours. Not sure about the pumpkin though. I should get the torture device in about an hour or so. Only need 47 more probes.

Yes. It runs for the duration of the event. But, be careful. If you runs out of tasks, then you probably need one of the kids to trigger it (and there is a LOT of content!). More content is already in what we've downloaded, scheduled to activate on Oct. 20, and again on Oct. 31. Also, don't panic if you don't get all the prizes that are currently available. They are on a rotating menu, so they will be back around again (I'll finally be able to get the super-collider and black hole!) I believe that there are 3 (maybe 5) menus in the rotation. Also, if you have the ray gun, check it periodically, as it gives ammo to shoot down ufos in friends towns. I also found a GREAT prize that I'm looking forward to - but I won't spoil it here. (Hint: the ultimate torture device!) By the way - the shooting at the ufo glitch was fixed with yesterday's update. I'll post more if more questions arise.
