Werewolf Flanders and Frinkenstein this prize round. I’m liking it. ---

I just realized you don’t have to put three people on the three slots for the brown worm thing. You can fight with just one character. The 2nd and 3rd characters give a bonus. ---

> [@Fair\_Rarity](#): > > I just realized you don’t have to put three people on the three slots for the brown worm thing. You can fight with just one character. The 2nd and 3rd characters give a bonus. And the third character’s bonus is smaller than the second one’s. This means that if you have, for instance, two fights left with three slots each but only four characters remaining, staff the fights with two and two, rather than three and one. ---

Yeah, for me when I get home from work there can be 10 giant monsters to fight most with 3 slots yet I only have 10 people to fight with so to get the most bang for my buck I just stick one fighter per monster. ---

Once acquired, Werewolf Flanders has a\*\*\* long\*\*\* story line, currently he’s on a 24 hr for me, and that’s about 5 or so tasks in. ---

I got WereFlanders but I’m not doing any of his story quests. I’m using him to fight monsters. I figure once the event is over I’ll do the story stuff. ---

I got him too and did his storyline. For me, anyway, I don’t think it’s going to be a problem finishing the event. The Homer car thing kinda surprised me though. I think Grampa is doing something with that right now. ---

Windmills now give a .75% bonus. I had 11 purchased from extra event currency last year. Some were in storage, some in Krustyland, and some were in Springfield. I put them all out in Springfield, and they increased my overall bonus percentage quite a bit. ---

Well I got Frinkenstein yesterday. It looks like the event is ending tonight so at least I got all the prizes and all that’s left is to try for some bonuts. ---

Does the Shipwreck actually do anything (give bonus % or anything?) I’m not going to make it, but I could probably get it for like 40 donuts. Worth it? ---

Actually, never mind. I was a lot closer than I thought and just got the shipwreck. :smack:😃 ---

Glad you got it, Fenris. Def not worth 40 donuts. ---

I liked this event. I finished acts 2 and 3 way ahead and got 4 rounds of bonuts on each but failed to finish the first act. I missed Marshmallow guy by a lot, but I would have to pay 170 donuts to get him which isn’t worth it. ---

I haven’t opened my game in a few days but I went to the app store to get the update and it was already installed. I didn’t sync my phone. The game has never taken itself down like that before, changed the icon and everything, without me going to the app store. ---

I was just now forced to update on Kindle. I was so very close to getting more bonuts. ---

Same happened to me on my Kindle just now. Boooooo on forced updates. I did manage to get a couple more bonuts last night. So that was nice. ---

Update finally finished. DAMN YOU GOOGLE! Where’s my Google Fiber. Any-which-ahoo it looks like it’s Thanksgiving time in Ye Olden Springfield. But I do have a bit of a problem with them discriminating against every Non-American country. Don’t be all forcing your political beliefs of Thanksgivingness on the rest of the world EA.
