I noticed that unlike collecting clicking on buildings on other Springfields and running, if you click on Ghosts in other springfields and run before you collect all the GOO you donā€™t get it. So now itā€™s back to taking forever to get through all of my friends. I also found what I think is a glitch. If I haunt three buildings and then pop five ghosts and then drop some gremlins (while Iā€™m waiting for the GOO to automatically collect itself) and then the ā€œThanks Neighboreenoā€ box pops up I canā€™t click the collect button until the screen stops chasing the gremlin around. ---

I thought we got our first prize at 1,000,000,000 and another after every billion. No prize yet, though. šŸ˜• Is it me, or is this Halloween going to be insanely easy compared to whacking day? I have ~1000 in two days. I think it only takes 5000 to get the final prize. ---

Yes, Iā€™m right. The community prizes are: 1 Billion GOO = Church Oā€™Flardlad 2 Billion GOO = Clawing Zombie 3 Billion GOO = Ghost Bomb 4 Billion GOO = Frog Prince 5 Billion GOO = King Homerā€™s Skyscraper When do they give us Church Oā€™flardlard? ---

Yeah, somehow all of a sudden I had the second and third attic item, so I guess Iā€™m aces there. How about the ghost vacuum now? I didnā€™t manage to see how to use that. ---

When you press the ghost icon in the corner the vacuum icon will be highlighted, then you drag it around with your finger. I didnā€™t have enough ghosts around to give it a fair try yet. ---

Rumors are that Sunday, you have to answer a question. The rumored Q is: ā€œWhat item of Moeā€™s does Homer covet in this seasonā€™s Treehouse of Horrors episode?ā€ An Emerald Ring A Sapphire Tie Clip A Ruby Nipple-Stud Emerald ring is the answer. ---

Hereā€™s something I just plain donā€™t get: this update has only been out for a couple days, and I already see one of my friended Springfields has something like 14,000 GOO. Even with the max amount of friends, thatā€™s really no more than 1,000 GOO a day, tops. How on earth do some people accumulate GOO/candy/hearts/whatever at like 5 times the rate of the average player? ---

If you pay for the next item, it ups your goo to that level(at least that is how it worked with snakes). They just pay a lot of money to advance.
