Freaking minnow pond. I read the new MB set up is just for a month. I’m wondering if they revert to the old, shitty ones then? Or a new batch of stuff? Just shaking it up would be nice, even if I didn’t get a ton of stuff cheaply. I was reading how people spent small amounts of donuts but with luck and winning donuts in the MBs, getting tons of stuff. ---

At least I finally got the Blocko store that I missed from that fucking wheel last year. ---

I got…a minnow pond. The more things change, the more they stay the same. ---

This just in! I got the News Van! Also, I’ve let the level quests slide for a while, so right now, literally everyone in my entire town is visiting Michael D’Amico’s party. If you visit my Springfield today, scroll down to the bottom edge of town and watch everyone coming streaming out en masse. ---

I got an Itchy & Scratchy billboard. Yay? Then I spent some donuts, and got Kierney (not sure of the spelling there, Nelson’s bald friend) ---

I opened the game tonight with six donuts in the bank. With the free mystery box, I got the news van. With my six banked donuts I purchased a mystery box and won thirty donuts. With those thirty I bought five more boxes. I got a bomb shelter, blue haired lawyer, Chalmer’s Onda, a khliv khlash stand, and the last box was thirty more donuts. I reinvested those thirty and won Lard Lad, the tire fire, another news van, a minnow pond, and the last box was ten more donuts. I bought another box and got another bomb shelter. That left me with a balance of four donuts in the bank, so I couldn’t buy another box. Started with six donuts, ended with four plus some decent stuff. I can’t believe that they’re going to keep this up. ETA: I see Fair Rarity’s comment about it lasting a month. I bet they go back to the old prize odds. Seems to me they’re missing out on revenue from people who actually spend cash to buy this stuff. ---

Well, if we’re talking what we got in Mystery Boxes, I got 30 donuts, Blue-Haired Lawyer, Chalmers’s \_ONDA, a Klav Kalash stand, and a minnow pond. ---

Couple bill boards, couple \_ONDAs, Kearney, Blue Haired Lawyer, Pond, Tire Fire, Bunker. Not a bad haul, though no donuts, sadly. ---

I’ve gotten the Tire Fire and two “ondas” now. So many cars, I had to build a parking lot! I bought a bunch of land to re-configure the south side of my town and ended up getting a bunch more donuts from cleaning up. I’ll have to buy more mystery boxes. Sounds like I am going to get 30 donuts soon! ---

Is it wrong that after having a \_ONDA I want Kearney’s Hyundai? ---

Apparently, everyone in Springfield drives a shit car. Although I did see a rocket car in someone’s town. I didn’t know Kearney had a Hyundai. That’s something to look out for. ---

Meant to say that I thought the rocket car was kinda neat. ---

I got an I&S billboard this week for free. I decided I will spend donuts on MB before the end of the special, but I’m going to wait until close to the end to see what I get naturally every five days ---

I just got Level 51 - _now_ somebody tells me that reaching a new level before it’s ready scores bonus donuts _and_ the new level when it’s released. ---

I won’t mention who the new character is, but I did notice something strange; the game took a character away! Mr. Teeny is no longer in the game, and Krusty no longer his 12-hour “Walk Mr. Teeny” task available. ---
