So much for the Christmas event. At least a few new characters. But I have no idea what Aaron Burr has to do with it though. ---

I blew up my town today and put everything in storage. $3.2 billion, 3,200 donuts. Just wanted to sell all my extraneous crap like trees, and since my town was such a shitshow of randomly placed buildings, it’s easier to just put it all away and do it via the inventory. ---

Please report back on how that works out. I’ve thought about it, but man it seems like a lot of work. ---

Black History Month questline just started up yesterday and they have Golden Goose Realty available for 150 donuts. I have 932 donuts so it sounds like a good deal. ---

Golden Goose gives free land tokens every 12 hours so definitely worth it if you have still have land which can only be purchased with the tokens. ---

And you can exchange tokens for donuts. I never did it and I wasn’t paying attention to my land purchase vs land available and now it doesn’t produce tokens AND I can’t exchange for donuts. So what I’m saying is: don’t buy all the land and keep track of your tokens so you never have more tokens than land plots left to buy ---

I didn’t know that and bought all my available land as well. Given I make 60 donuts every set of 4-hour tasks, I’ll live. 😃 ---

Yeah I don’t make THAT many donuts, but I do make enough that I wonder why I care that I messed up Golden Goose. I say I get 6-12 donuts a day before daily tasks. ---

I got a second questline that started up today, which seemed odd. I’m on No Laughing Matter Part 5 so I’m almost done with that. I also got a message about the Homerlayas but I already had that complete as far as I can tell. Maybe I missed something. ---

I don’t think I’ll get this final award for the questline but I’m going to finish From the Mouth Pt 4 today. I usually get 4, maybe 5 four hour quests done per day and I also bought Herbert’s dad with the donuts. I don’t think this questline was particularly friendly in regards to completion. ---

Yeah, I had to spend donuts to rush through some of these quests. Even at that, I finished yesterday. ---

I don’t think I’m even going to get the first prize on the last track. I know I took some time off but it shouldn’t be this rough. I played every day but sometimes it was just 2 times instead of 4. I don’t particularly care about the prizes, but if it’s going to be how the game is going to be, I’m gonna have to quit. When it’s a chore, it’s a bore. I had no incentive to even TRY to play a little more because I figured out early on the math was so bad I couldn’t get all the prizes without donuts. If it were just a little bit off, I’d play more or donut the last couple tasks. It’s not even close.
