Be careful with the auto fill option. I sent skinner to fight a monster. Scrolled to next and hit auto fill and it sent krusty and Cletus to fight one monster. So I still had three or four monsters no one was fighting. I should have sent just krusty and then scrolled and sent Cletus for the third. The timer said four hours for both fights so I don’t know what the benefit of sending multiple fighters on one monster is. ---

There’s a bonus for sending two that it lists, IIRC 60 extra film or whatever the currency is. Two people fight a different worm monster, too. I can’t figure out what determines how many you can send but I’ve fought a dozen or so singles and just one double. ---

The game gave me an option for a double fight last night but it didn’t give me that option this morning. ---

Yeah, I got a double fight last night as well but I haven’t seen it since. ---

Looks like you always want to fill your bonus fight slot when available. …Unless you are getting close to the max 10 monsters you can have in your Springfield. ---

> [@Folly](#): > > Looks like you always want to fill your bonus fight slot when available. …Unless you are getting close to the max 10 monsters you can have in your Springfield. Sounds like you should always use the auto fill unless you’re maxing out on giant evil worms. Guess I didn’t screw up after all. I haven’t scrolled through all the crafting prizes yet, but I already have a couple from past events. Don’t want another spooky house, and I’ve had about 25 spooky trees in storage for a year or two. I guess it gives newer players the opportunity to get them. I noticed land on Krustyland is half price. I’ve been snagging plots and am two away from finishing. I really like playing around in Krustyland. I wish they hadn’t abandoned it. It would be nice to have some new items to buy. ---

even if they didn’t add to KL explicitly, it’d be nice to throw a bunch of my extraneous crap over there. Does anyone know off the top of your head if crafting stays the same the whole event? I know the MAG prizes are the same the whole time and the act i prizes change. ---

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but if you have the Space Alien or Vampire Burns, they have tasks that bring event currency. ---

Is it just me, or do everyone’s rat-things gather together in a spot next to the tower and wait to be tapped? ---

> [@Tom\_Tildrum](#): > > Is it just me, or do everyone’s rat-things gather together in a spot next to the tower and wait to be tapped? Pretty much. I need to move my tower away from other tappable things. Trying to tap those rats I’m tapping on all my wailing walls and the game keeps popping up the walls’ info. ---

Thanks for the heads up. > [@Tom\_Tildrum](#): > > Is it just me, or do everyone’s rat-things gather together in a spot next to the tower and wait to be tapped? YES!. It is so nice not having to keeping searching around town for them. I just turn on the Kindle and move over to the tower and let it sit for a couple of minutes and then tappity-tappity-tap-tap. ---

Anyone know if the vampire casket that you have to spend the obols on is DIFFERENT from the coffins we already have? ---

I searched my town and inventory for the old caskets and couldn’t find them. I don’t know whether they’re the same. This event is not exciting me. None of the prizes on any of the tracks are appealing. A space marshmallow? What is that? The coins seem to be few and far between. And the MAG points seem worthless except for unlocking trick or treat jobs. That said, the worm animations are cool. It would be nice to have more than four fighters though. And Homer has nothing to do, which seems odd. ---

The last prize in act i and crazy cat lady can fight monsters. I find that I have more fighters than monsters most of the time ---

That’s some incentive to get the marshmallow then. I think I’ll be able to get it. Work has been hectic, so I’ve been limited to logging in two or three times a day. I checked the calendar on tstoaddicts, and I seem to be close to where I need to. One thing I’d like to see is more water available. My seaside is looking pretty crowded, and it bugs me. ---
