That’s odd. My wheel doesn’t work that way. I’ve never had anything show up again after having won it. My wheel is all cards, money, and the mocking helter shelter.
20 donuts a piece in the Holidays 2013 section.
I agree. It is odd. There is something strange about my wheel. Especially since you and I are in the same exact situation, needing one more of the original prizes. I wonder why? I’m not complaining. But it’s strange.
That is the best use of donuts ever.
Reading some of the wailing and tooth-gnashing here about the random number generator not giving people all the items makes me want to give them this warning:
Never, never, play NetHack/Angband/Rogue, or any games of those ilk. This wheel is merely failing to give everybody everything. The roguelike random number generators are malicious.
Speaking for myself, I’m not as angry as I sound. Yes, it is frustrating, but it is just a goofy game that i found more or less by accident. So, it isn’t going to negatively impact my life.
I also don’t play very many games, and this is the only game I play daily, so I don’t have that “addiction” that many people talk about with games like this. Thank goodness.
I just looked at my wheel for the hell of it, and the little snowball cat snowman has been replaced with a Marge Snowman. I guess I will have to hit the marge snowman and the snowball snowman on the same wheel visit. Looks like. I’ll be saving up some spins for a few days.
Anyone else have a wheel like mine? It’s annoying to miss the yeti, but it is the wheel that keeps on giving.
I only have 4 wheel slots with money/cards. But I’ve hit one of them my last nine spins in a row. Can’t get the yeti, the clausco, the shelter, Plow King, or anything else worth a damn. Well I did get Snowball snowman and the Ice God early, but grrrr.
One thing I have noticed with my wheel is even though I hit the Plow King about 2 weeks ago, and it never left my wheel as a prize to win, I haven’t come close to hitting it again. The wheel always seems to get just enough juice to slide through that slot on the wheel, or stop right before it gets to that slot. I consider that spot on the wheel dead. Unfortunately, on both sides of Barney I have cards, so that is a drag.
I really wanted to hit that second snowball snowman when it popped up, but I guess it wasn’t meant to be. Maybe next time. Maybe not. But now, I have an extra 7 days to see what I can accumulate on the wheel besides money and cards! Woo hoo? :smack:
Nah, I wish it would end on the 7th!
We did it! We unlocked the last prize! We got…um…stripes.
Yah.
I already had it happen once. It happens for sure every x visits, but can happen randomly too. I wasn’t due for the 2nd one, I think, so it was totally random.
I’m not happy that Christmas has been extended. It’d be better if they reduced the odds for the good stuff remaining on the wheel, let those of us who aren’t spinning anymore drop off coins instead of gift bags, or anything other than making this go for another week. I’m not sick of it the way I was with Halloween by the end of it (plus that was super annoying the last few days with the haunted houses and rogue gremlins), but I’d prefer it to be over.
However, given the choice to deal with it an extra week vs everyone not getting everything, I would pick suck it up for a week.
But I can’t even redecorate my town because I can’t see everything properly with the snow. I don’t need level 38, as I’m still working on some quests, but I’m just done with Christmas.
Towers should be available very soon. Like within the next hour or two, I would guess.
I was also underwhelmed.
I finally got Claus Co! I have cleared the wheel. I can now send Lisa and Homer on their 24 hour task and close out the Christmas line.
Now I will just have 5 spin coins a day for 10 days. I am not spinning that stupid wheel one more time.
You suck! Just kidding.
I also get 5 spins a day. My daily report.
Today’s spins:
$1000
Marge snowman
Skinner House facade (my third, with no Skiiner house in my Springfield)
Maggie snowman
$1000 - this came after I spun the wheel and it stopped on the Bumble, but it didn’t record the spin. So I spun again, and it slipped through the Bumble to land on the $1000 spot.
The wheel is my personal hell. Multiple Skinner facades? Unending snowmen? And no Bumble. Curse you wheel!
I’ve got stripes, stripes around my towers/I’ve got chains, chains around my plant
I know exactly how you feel. That last elusive prize was killing me. I didn’t have repeat prizes though. And with almost $3 million banked, $1000 is frankly insulting. At least the gift cards were getting me closer to one more futile spin.
I finally got the yeti. I had 11 tokens and it took me 8 spins to get to it. Hooray for Zoidberg!
I’m very curious to see if i ever get the snow monster. I can see how $1000 would be irritating to you, especially with that bank roll. The 50 gift cards is almost as ridiculous, as it really doesn’t even put a dent in getting another spin. 5% of the needed total is a joke.
There is much anger out in the internet world over the wheel. It seems that just about everyone is irritated with the wheel’s execution.
I have only been playing a few weeks, at level 15. I have orange house and church building now. How much longer till Squidport?
You have quite a while to wait. Which is fine, since you are in no hurry to build Suidport.
There is a wiki site that eill tell you exactly what level you will need to reach before the Squidport is open, but I’m almost positive it is in the mid 20’s.
My daily update on my 5 spins.
$1000
Maggoe snowman
Homer Snowman ( mistake “spin”, where the wheel went about 5 spaces and landed on Homer). It literally did not make a single revolution. I didn’t believe it would count until the little song came on indicate a prize was won)
$1000
$1000 (literally went into the snow monster prize slot, pointer just clicked into the slot, and it gave me the $1000 anyway! Augh!)
Ok, we have about a wekek left, so I am going to ask (yes beg) anyone who is visiting my town to give me as many gift bags as you can spare, I WANT THAT SNOW MONSTER!!!
And quite frankly, i deserve it. If i can get 1 extra spin a day, that will give me 7 extra chances, and I suspect I will need them all.
I wrote “wheel clear” in bushes today so people who don’t have a gazillion bags don’t feel they have to leave them in my town.
Apparently I was wrong.
I looked it up today on the wikipage i mentioned. Here is the page I read, which indicates the Squidport appears at Level 15. So you are there.
Sorry about that. Basically, what you have to do is go through all of the quests, etc. that are required until the Squidport task kicks off. You shouldn’t have much time to wait at all.
