Any idea if I can get rid of Cecil? Can I put his building in storage, or is he one of those that aren’t attached to anything? ---

I think you can just put him in storage but why would you if he earns money and XP for you? ---

Because I keep spending $1m by zapping through the characters giving them jobs! “Well, why don’t you use the employment office then?” Because I’m cheap as hell! 😛 ---

In case someone else made the same mistake as me, you can scroll down the options when you send people to do their craft jobs. All five (FIVE! WTF, EA?) areas have jobs for characters but only three show up when you tap on the gate to send people. I got the last prize in Act 2 just fine but I am not upgrading the areas that fast and I think it’s because I missed out on a lot of crafting currency by not sending all my available characters. Whoops. I hate this event. I mean, it’s refreshing it’s slightly different, but it still sucks. ---

I like it myself. Have 2 Emu areas, all the other areas are fully upgraded (except for the latest), have earned about 10 donuts waiting between events, and am again enjoying going to the other Springfields, laying frogs and tadpoles. ---

An update today which, as far as I can tell, was built for the express purpose of putting all the kids 4-hour activities 1st in line on their task chart. Thanks, EA! :rolleyes: Almost done with my zoo… last prize is teenage Homer which requires 72,200 DNA (currently @ 56,400). I have enough of the other thing to almost fully upgrade Warmongers, but will wait until I can get all three of the final upgrades at once. Just under 6 days left, according to my countdown. ---

I’m starting to get nervous for another shitty Halloween. Will we go right into Halloween? A mini event? A break? Craft until our fingers bleed and no trick or treating tasks? ---

Here’s an option: Before you start giving people jobs, go to the Town Hall and find Cecil. Make him do something that won’t cost you a million. Then he’ll be out of the order and you can zap through everyone else. ---

Eh, I put Cecil in the box. Now I have 2 characters whose 4-hour jobs are above their 60 minute jobs for whatever reason, but I’m OK with that. But losing a million? Not worth my time. ---

Not worth my time. That means MOST of the time there is a quest that needs completing. However, the two updates we had yesterday messed up a bunch of things so it might not be true in this case. And sometimes there is a long-term glitch where they’re not in the right order. ---

Glad to see I’m not the only one having that issue. Zoo completed, just 4k DNA thingies to get teen Homer. ---

Last day on the zoo. Finished it this past Friday, been collecting donuts since then. I now have enough sanctuary grants to get a 2nd exhibit but am undecided as to which one to get - great plains, baboon country, other? I have 24 hours to decide so maybe I’ll have enough to get 2 of the things. ---

Ha! After all this time, God knows how many chances, I finally got 150 tickets (3 50-ticket selections) at Sideshow You. Let’s just say that the number of times I got the minimum… 15 tickets… has been vastly greater. ---

Halloween teaser or whatever up now. Not sure if it’s the full event or just another tide-you-over. ---

Can’t be the full event… all I’ve had is one single building. Also, in more mundane news, got $200k, $40k, and $12k at the dog track in the past week. Drool Britannia, you’re a VERY good boy! ---
