I got my community prize. The next level is only 13 billion. I wonder if they made adjustments so that we will attain all of the goals.
I seem to be hitting a donut every few days, so I am going to continue with the GOO even when I hit 10, 000, which should be tomorrow morning.

Really, the only community prizes that matter are the first one(Lard church) and the final one, which gives us a skyscraper.
The middle three seem lame. The next one, I think, is a ghost bomb.
Yay.
I think I’ll go back to working on Krustyland. Feel free to dump gremlins in my town I won’t touch them.
Is it me, or should the “Ghost in the Machine” quest-line end with some kind of reward? It kind of fizzled out. I just went online to find out which character I needed to start the next part of the quest only to learn it had ended.
Anticlimactic.

I play daily.
So, I need some advice from the group. I have about 100 donuts that I have collected and I was thinking about finally breaking down and buying something premium.
I was thinking of maybe buying a few more donuts and getting the ray gun so I have both Kang and Kodos, and maybe something else. If I have anything left over. What should I get? I have the squeaky voiced teen already (only good thing I have gotten from the mystery box, but it makes up for all the extra picket fences I have now).
What else is worth the donuts?
I bought the ray gun and kind of wish I hadn’t. Aztec theatre goes well with Squeaky Voiced Teen; he has a task there and so do Bart and Comic Book Guy. The Bumblebee guy cracks me up. If I were starting over he would be one of my first purchases.
And in case you hadn’t noticed (because it had to be pointed out to me) Bart’s three hour Aztec theater job pays more then his 4 hour job. Not per hour. I mean, you actually get more money for putting him on the three hour job then the four hour job.
See, this is why I ask. That’s good to know.
I had not noticed that, thanks! I did notice the higher payouts for Fat Tony’s ten-hour task and the news channel 4-hour task pays the same as the 8-hour so I use those a lot.
I played the dog race again today for probably the third time in the last six months, and won the $200000 prize! I guess I won’t be playing again for a while.
You get more XP for the 8 hour job, but if you’re on Level 35, who cares. In fact, it you’re on Level 35, it’s best to stay somewhere in the middle (WRT XP) since when they announce a new level that’s where you’ll be, so you don’t want to race to the end and start over and then be at the beginning. Hell, I have a hard time trying to convince new people the game really isn’t about XP, so much as it is about getting quests done. As we discussed earlier in the thread, the quests really don’t line up with the levels. I have a friend that hit level 35 a while ago and he’s just now building the school…after the DMV and the hideout and he’s got a lot of other things. It’s because he spent the last 20 levels doing everything in his power to gather XP. Even going so far as to buy and sell things over and over to gather up more XP (there’s some trick there, I don’t recall). B
I wish more people would understand that you don’t need to worry about the levels, even once you get to the end you still need to finish building everything THEN you’ll start saving tons of money.
I’ve won twice after playing for probably two weeks. That’s means I’ll have to lose 198 times to be break even. If I play every 8 hours, it would take me 66 days to do that. Call it 3 months since I don’t play every 8 hours and since at this rate I’m likely to win a few more times, I should be good to keep playing. I just wish I hadn’t ignored the track for the first few months I had been playing. Even if I had been playing the other dogs. I don’t believe the odds, but I do think the other dogs win more then this one.
The one I read about was buying a bunch of weather stations then selling them off. There’s probably another way to do it and I assume anything of moderate value will work.
I just got an update this morning and a chance to pick for donuts just like when you level up. This one was a little different as it was for Halloween, but it was the same principle and I got the three donuts after buying a second chance.
Something to look out for today.
I remember what it was. Trees. You get XP for buying trees, so you buy a ton of trees, collect the XP and sell them back for a discount.
My strategy for the track is to have my 7 year old pick the dog. When he’s not around I pick the $200K dog every time
I’ve hit $200K about 4 times (and he does pretty good on the others).
Hey, I think I may have actually finished all of Homer’s Halloween quests. I’ve got him lounging in the pull to celebrate.
I think that if the given odds are correct, the 2-1 dog is the best choice. You win every second time you run it, meaning you spend $4000 and win $6000 for a profit of $2000. Twice a day means you win $2000 a day. For the 99-1 dog, you win every 99th time, costing you $198,000 and win $200000, which is still a profit of $2000. However, you only get that $2000 every fifty days.
I do think drool brittania wins more than the odds say, though.
I don’t think the odds are right though. I’ve won in the 99-1 dog twice in the first 20 or so times I’ve played and that seems to be what a few other people here have said. Plus, if you look around on the various TSTO cites they same the same things.
I see you came to the same conclusion…I don’t know what the actual odds are, but I don’t think the given ones are true. Either their truly false or whatever they use to generate the winner isn’t working well.
Have any of the TSTO sites attempted to figure out what the actual odds are?
I’ve been doing it routinely, 1-2 times per day, always choosing the 1-99 option for a month or so now (since several people on this thread indicated it seemed to be paying off better than chance). I’ve yet to win, and I’m getting close to the point at which I’d have an expected win, anyway. At this point, I’m unconvinced that the odds aren’t right; I think we just have selection bias from folks way out on the luckiness curve hitting early and often.
