I’ve never bought a Homer Buddha myself.
I have, at least twice now, gotten a Mr. Burns Mystery Box within a Mr. Burns Mystery Box as a “thanks for playing today” prize. Usually I get hedges, brown fences, and twice I got a gazebo, but one time I did get a lemon tree.
My game just updated and there’s a new quest. There are bumper cars, a new museum (premium), and Noiseland Arcade with Dolph.
I got a Squeaky Voiced Teen from my last Mystery Box. Makes up for all those hedges. 
Meh,
I got ***$250 *** !!
about TEN times !
I’m freakin’ RICH !!
so there !
I actually got 36 donuts in last week’s Mystery Box - the first time I’d ever gotten anything of significant value out of, what, 45 weeks of playing.
I keep getting things like Angel Topiaries and Gazebos out of the Mystery Boxes. Occasionally I get a new Mystery Box. Once I got a Homer Buddha, which gave me the totally useless Squeaky Voiced Teen as I had already bought him (as detailed upthread.) These days I just sell most of the stuff or never take it out of inventory.
You all should build a Squidport tile, and not collect it. Just let it hover. Every time a friend taps it during a visit, you get a free extra tile. I’ve gotten 12 or 13 free boardwalk tiles so far. Hurry up, before EA patches this!
Bumping this. I guess no one needs more Squidport tiles? I’m up to 36 free ones so far.
When you said it I had just started building one, it should be done later today, I’ll leave it alone, I won’t need it any time soon. I hate that they have pretty much abandoned Squidport and Krustyland, but I keep building tiles and banking tickets in case they start doing something with them again.\
Also, I seem to be stuck in the Bullies quest. It told me to have the business owners talk to Fat Tony (0/5). Apparently I only have 4 business owners (Apu, Comic Book Guy, Luigi and up, one other one that’s slipping my mind) so when they were done it changed to 4/5 so I put Apu back in for another 12 hour shift. We’ll see if that finishes up that part of the quest.
Heh. It’s probably not as exciting to players to have been around a while and have already built a ton of port tiles. I just started playing in August and I had almost no tiles (and a day and a half per tile is excruciatingly slow).
Ive seen a couple cool Squidport designs, so I hope to do one of those without having to wait half a year or so.
I just finished building a tile too (well I’ll be done in about a half hour). I’ll also leave it be and see what happens.
I’m surprised that they screwed this up, at the beginning if you tapped on someone else’s tile, they didn’t get the tile at all and had to start over.
My Squidport tile should be floating sometime today.
Click away !
As friends start clicking on your tile, multiple handshake icons should start stacking up above your Squidport. You can collect these one at a time. Just remember that you have to leave one handshake floating, or you’ll collect your original tile and have to start building a new one all over again.
If you can coordinate with friends, you can get 3 tiles per friend per day. The trick is that you have to collect the handshake before they go back into your Springfield to click on the tile again.
So I can’t click when I see a handshake, I have to wait until there’s a few of them and then carefully click all but one of them?
Exactly. Each tap only collects one handshake, so if you’re careful, it’s not too hard to avoid collecting the last handshake.
ETA: But for God’s sake, don’t try to collect the XP and tile when it pops out of the handshake. Just let it sit and auto-collect. It’s too dangerous to be tapping around your last handshake.
Is there anyway to play without being connected to the intartubes?
I just started playing last night on my phone and at work I don’t get any reception and the game just keeps retrying to connect to the internet.
I had to start my game all over and lost all my friends about a month ago. sob Anyhoo, I am azurine76 and would try to help back anyone.
thanks
I don’t think there is. You have to have some sort of net connection to play.
Darn. Thanks.
