I still can’t get into my own game, but I get notifications that a couple other Dopers have visited me. ---

Level 41 hit today. Also, this thread ([Electronic Arts Forums - Official EA Site](http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/10093178.page)) gives you details on how to get a bunch of free amazon kindle coins with which you can buy donuts. Only for kindles, though. Basically you “buy” a bunch of free apps that amazon gives you coins for buying, then you take your coins and buy donuts. ---

Oooh, a blood mobile. I only hope it gives us as much enjoyment as that tractor trailer from a few months back. ---

> [@WreckingCrew](#): > > Oooh, a blood mobile. I only hope it gives us as much enjoyment as that tractor trailer from a few months back. It gives just about as much xp per dollar spent as a weather station, so if you’re heavy on cash, it’s a great way to xp-level-up without the tedium of hundreds of tiny weather stations. I got 600 donuts by doing the free kindle app installs yesterday. ---

The update this morning gives you 20 donuts as compensation for the recent frame rate issues. ---

Hmm, I appear to be able to fill my XP bar, get donuts, yet maintain the XP I had previously (so I only need 20% of the XP bar to get more donuts). Before, my XP would reset to zero between getting donuts. I’m guessing that EA will want to patch that very quickly. ---

The update is here. Looks like Homer starts it but he wasn’t free for me. The Stonecutter lodge is big and takes 16 hours to build.

And as a nice addition, the town hall has a census so you can go to the different characters. Cool way to do it and it is definitely needed, imo. ---

They also added a “store all” button. It’s the nuclear bomb button after you access the move menu.
