I currently have a floating Squidport tile; I will let it be at least overnight. ---

> [@Erdosain](#): > > Bumping this. I guess no one needs more Squidport tiles? I’m up to 36 free ones so far. I just had one complete building this morning but I think my son tapped it. If I get another, feel free to tap it anyone. ---

Based on previous holidays, will I be able to complete the “Ghost in the Machine-Based App” quest after the 7th? Because I doubt I’ll be able to finish it before then. ---

I’m building a Squidport tile. It’ll be a while - someone check on me in 2 days. ---

NAF and Labtrash, I’ve been checking your towns throughout the day and haven’t seen your tile so you either don’t have one or I can’t see it…come to think of it, I haven’t seen a floating tile in months, but I haven’t really paid attention. Mine will still be a few hours yet. ETA, I just got a big update, I assume they were just getting ready for Halloween to be over? There must be something else in the works, it was pretty big. Which reminds me, I need to update my phone while I’m on wifi before I leave the house again. ---

Ok, I’ve got my Squiport tile up so click away if you are in town. ---

As far as I know, the update was to load a free gift for everyone who plays the app tomorrow on Halloween. We all get one wailing wall. I don’t see much use for it after Halloween, but free is free. ---

Hey guys - sorry I haven’t been visiting lately. My phone died last Friday and I only got a replacement Monday so I’m playing catch-up. > [@Erdosain](#): > > I don’t see much use for it after Halloween, but free is free. If it’s anything like previous events, the ghost generation will become money generation. ---

It may have started just recently, but it’s definitely floating now. ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > Can we confirm this free tile thing works? I have not heard of it outside the one mention here. I haven’t got a clue if it works, but I’m willing to try anything to speed up those damn tiles. I’ve clicked three floating tiles tonight. Pretty sure USCDiver was one of them. ---

Yeah, I very much have a floating tile and have had for several hours now. Interesting. ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > Can we confirm this free tile thing works? I have not heard of it outside the one mention here. If you go to EA’s Tapped Out forums, you’ll find a 60+ page thread about it. Now it’s mostly people just trying to find friends to tap their tile. ---

Crap, I absent-mindedly clicked on the only handshake on my tile (I guess JoeyP’s tap), and it got collected. Oh well, 2.5 days to wait ! ---
