Does that fucking teddy bear stay in the task list until it’s done?
You know, that fucking teddy bear probably will stay in the task list until it’s done.
Honestly, all I see is a money-grab.
I think I seriously underestimate the number of OCD people out there that need to collect every little thing for their games/towns. This game seems to have taken that concept to a new level of abuse, where people have to spend hundreds of dollars a month to make sure they get everything. Either that, or they get no sleep as they set their alarm for every hour to maximize their rewards… Even then, they cannot achieve everything. Or, they search for a hack.
The developers must be giggling all the way to the bank.
One thing I grew increasingly sick of was the Herbert/Chris interactions. I just don’t find pedophelia a subject for humor, and they seem to spend much more time with this than I think necessary. Also,mthe juvenile sexual jokes, like making one of Meg’s tasks “Make Meg a butt-portal” or something like that makes me wonder if 13 year old boys are creating the content for this game.
No, it’s lost me. I’ll pop in from time to time, but I felt my interest dying for some time noe. I realized it was over for me during the star trek event. I did ok on that one, but I had a lot of items left to spend on the last day. For some reason, I made a mistake and had the wrong day in my mind. I was in the hospital the last day, all day for some testing. When I came home, I picked up my game only to realize the event was over, and I left a couple of weeks worth of items unused… And it didn’t bother me one bit.
That at one time would have bummed me out. But this game has left such a bad taste in my mouth on so many levels I just couldn’t generate the rage.
The Peter bird-beard was the last straw. And I haven’t missed it at all.
Ha, I’m doing the same thing.
Yesterday I finally managed to log in regularly enough to get all my Cecil tasks done before midnight. I’ve had a bad string lately of starting a 4-hour task at 8:30. This time I started a 2-hour task at 8:30!
But I didn’t pay attention and went and lived my life, and didn’t log on again until 12:04 AM. No big prize, just 20 corn or whatever.
WORST. DAY. EVER!!!
I “crafted” the Homer Decoy today. I think I should just make the houseboat and then I have all the “crafted” prizes I wanted. I am over this event now. Only one week more to endure and then I can focus on rearranging my town. I would nuke it, but I really like my hedge maze and I shudder to think of the hours invested in it already.
UGHHHH I need more DNA. swears
Yeah, DNA…
I am really low on DNA.
I don’t know how I lost so much of it, but now that I am focused on getting the Homer decoy, it looks a million miles away.
There are so many ways to get corn (f’ing corn!) fertilizer, and even masks… But DNA?
It’s rare. I don’t remember, but did some of the characters lose DNA tasks? Because it is rough right now.
The other thing that is killing me is I am not aboe to max out on the 4 tasks a day bullshit. I have a life, you know… How in the hell do people play this damn thing all day, every day for weeks on end?
And now, back to your regularly scheduled thread… 
Oh, and for anyone out there that thinks THIS sucks, Family Guy has installed a new level of torture.
I logged in recently to find a new “fire” event going on. Lasts for a week or so, but there are 3 character outfits you can get.
Chris is earnable…IF you have no life. But they don’t even screw around with the Brian outfit. Nope, for that thing, you have to fork over something like 300 clams. I don’t even know who the 3rd character is.
But the event is so fargin’ convoluted, I can’t understand how anyone even enjoys it… You have to put out fires to earn fire extinguishers… Those in turn are used to “train” a fireman, who puts out building fires and THAT earns an gas can. You need 2 gas cans to train yet ANOTHER fireman that puts out these fire blobs, and THAT get you 1 axe! Got all that? You need 10 sets of suspenders (which are labeled as “rare”, which means in FGTQFS Language that you won’t see them very often), a butltload of fire extinguishers, 20 “gas cans”, and 7 axes to get the Chris fireman outfit. (I am sure I screwed this whole thing up) And what can you do with that?
Dance SEXY for Herbert. WTF… Thier obsession with Herbert the pedophile is disturbing, and they continually find ways to use that.
Honestly, how do those people have jobs? Are there THAT many people out there with OCD issues?
Rejoice in The Simpsons. And be happy you have never got obsessed with FG. I can’t imagine not being able to put it away.
My 12-hour tasks are definitely getting finished early. Like, way early. I just set all of my not-participating-in-this-story people on their 12-hour tasks 40 mins ago (Marvin Monroe, Nelson’s Mom, Matt Groenig, etc) and when I just went back in, they were done. I am pretty sure this has been happening pretty steadily during this whole story line.
I’m not complaining. Tons of extra money to throw at my Burns pile, I guess.
I just got the Sani John smokehouse, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice. I’m less than 400 masks away from getting the Simpsons houseboat too so I’m aiming for that. Otherwise, I’d like the decoy Homer and that’s about it. The cactus patch would be fun to add but I’m not dying for it.
I’ve gotten one of everything but the welcome sign and the wall. I started pulling everyone off mask, corn, and fertilizer tasks and it felt SO NICE. I am going to keep up the masks though once they cycle around. I decided I want more cactus plots around my Johnny Fiestas.
This event sucks.
Does this include 12-hour tasks that return DNA, masks, etc? If so, I may have a shot at making the DNA numbers I need for the Homer decoy. If not, it will be close.
Congrats!
I envy anyone who has reached the completion point. It would be cool to have a week’s worth of time to not even enter the town, except to re-arrange it.
Good question! I don’t know 
I don’t think so, for some reason. I have been scratching and clawing to get my DNA.
Where’d you put the Decoy?
I looked around but couldn’t find it.
I want to see if it’s worth going for.
My homer decoy is a bit down and left from the starting point (opera stage).
Mine is to the left of the opera house, near the IHOP. It’s cute.
I got it and the Smokehouse recently, and now I’m looking toward the Gas’n’Grub. No way I’ll get enough masks for the houseboat.
It was behind the strip club on the shore, I just moved him to beside Up, Up and Buffet, behind the opera house. Should be right there when you hit town. I kinda dig it. It’s bigger than I thought it would be. I do think it’s Homer occasionally. 
I might be a bit boring here, but I put mine where it’s supposed to go “lore” wise. In front of the Simpsons house, and slightly to the right (if facing out from the front door). It’s from the episode where someone* is trying to kill Homer. IIRC Willie, Moe, Lovejoy, and Selma (and Patty?) take turns beating it up. And Homer can’t resist either.

The update today dropped the price of some things (the wall, cactus patches). I guess there was a donut-earning glitch that was fixed and I’m really annoyed I didn’t track it down before today.
I’ve been spending donuts pretty liberally to finish tasks. I know, I know, I shouldn’t do that. But I want my fertilizer and DNA and don’t have time for A Celebrity to finish the task they are on before they go help out Cecil.
I was getting a lot of donuts in friends’ towns lately, which is something I’d heard mentioned here as a common occurrence but I’d rarely seen it. I wonder if you have to reach certain milestones to get more donuts from friends’ towns.
I got the Gas 'N Grub, which is nice because I needed a nice general store for my farm/lake area (guinea pig farm, old simpson farm, cletus’s farm, Spruce Caboose…Death Mountain) and it finally got my “Consumerism” stars all filled. Now I’m at full power! Woohoo!
I dunno if I’ll get any more stuff crafted but I’m not giving up.
