I got the first community prize today. Disappointed to,see the next one is an additional 5 billion. We’ll never make it to 25 billion I think…or am I wrong? ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > I got the first community prize today. > > Disappointed to,see the next one is an additional 5 billion. We’ll never make it to 25 billion I think…or am I wrong? it’s taken 8 days to get 5 billion, so if we actually continue at this rate we should have the 2nd prize by the 16th, 3rd prize by the 24th, 4th prize by the 1st of November and the 5 th prize by the 9th, which is after the event stops. But I seem to have noticed the actual rate the community total is increasing has increased since the beginning of the event, so if we all try hard, we may get them. Again, this is based on minimal data, I’m not even sure if they’ll keep increasing with 5 billion everytime or if it’ll become more like with the individual prizes, and if everyone will keep on collecting GOO like they’re doing now and if the player total will increase/decrease I think it’s pretty sad that I will probably already have all of the individual prizes before we even reach the 2nd community prize though… I hope they add some individual prizes for all the additional GOO they want me to collect! ---

> [@Intergalactic\_Gladiator](#): > > I just got 30 [donuts](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=petqFm94osQ) for my daily reward. Sweet. I’m also getting a lot of new friends for this event. Not sure who everyone is. nomnomnom… donuts 🆒 pretty sweet, best thing I got was the lemon tree, I think. Also, I had about 20 friends (all from here) before the event started, now I’m up to about 75 :eek: No idea who a lot of them are, but happy to get more GOO 😃 ---

The increase may be because as you go on more characters have goo missions. But later on people will not be motivated to continue after they have all the idividual prizes. Unless they announce a donut for goo exchange at the end. ---

Can someone verify what I mentioned before. Before Halloween, you could click on three things and then exit back out of another Springfield and you’d still get it. Now you actually have to collect the GOO (or wait for it to collect automatically). I’ve found that if you just tap 5 ghosts and back out, you don’t get the GOO. It makes working my way through all my friends take quite a while. ---

It seems that if you click on the 8 items but don’t collect the GOO, the total of GOO that’s shown on your screen while visiting other Springfields will not be updated. However, if you go back to your home Springfield, your GOO collected will increase even if you backed out of the other Springfield before collecting each GOO. Man, that’s hard to explain. Short answer: I don’t think you need to worry about it. ---

Unless they announce a donut for goo exchange at the end. The skeptic in me doesn’t think they’re really counting all the goo collected anyhow. I think they’ll just program the counter to increment a little faster so that we just barely make it. ---

If it IS real however, we might not make it ---

Hey, so I just (a day or so ago) noticed something that I thought I would share. You can click on more than 5 ghosts per town. If on your last ghost you pop another ghost (or two if you are really fast) before the final ghost spits out its prize, you get the extra goo. I have gotten up to 8 ghosts (rarely) but am pretty consistently getting 6-7 ghosts per town now. Give it a try. I mostly pop the last 2 at the same time and try to pick up a third immediately. ---

Unless they announce a donut for goo exchange at the end. I read on one of the sites about the game that after you get the individual prizes goo starts turning into donuts at a rate of 1 donut x 2,000 goo. Don’t know it that is verified yet though. ---
