Every other time we were told to prepare it worked, this is just the first time I'm listening.

... Great JC just ensured that we will get nothing but blueprints from anything not tapped. :?

I could not help reading this in the voice of the doctor... :oops:

This turned out to be incredible advice. I'll finish today just shy of 15k duck tape. Thanks brick!

Agreed! Right now I have 14147, but am about to collect from my Little Lisa's and possums from all three stations before bed.

ETA: transposed numbers in my DT count

JC was wrong, :mrgreen:

And your welcome guys/girls :wink:

Great thread. Between possums, 5th day bonus (lucky me), large project payoffs, visiting friends, lots of trashed houses, and overall luck I was able to get around 18,500 today. Great start on Act Two for me.

Thanks everyone! Hope some of you had as much luck as I did.

Dont visit friends today.

I completely disagree with this. There is no reason to not do your Friend Actions every day.

Furthermore it is contradictory to ...

Don't clear your buildings.

If we all don't do our Friend Actions then there will be no buildings to clear!

If your reset time is just before the changeover, wait for the changeover to do them. Otherwise you should just do them at your regular reset time. Many people do them during set time frame anyway. Not getting the payouts today isn't going to get you more tomorrow.

If your mysterybox of 5000 hit tomorrow like me, DONT LOGIN BEFORE TIMER RESET.

Hmmm. I don't know about that personally. I need just over 5000 Blueprints in my secondary town for another Monorail track piece. I could get a few more Bp in now, go to bed, and get the other 5000 before the changeover... That way I'd be also be full up on recycling materials. I'll have to think about it.

You dont have to, if you dont like the tips dont do them, just saying to help.
Be negative I dont care but keep it for yourself this is only a few things you could do not have to do, your choice.

I'm not being negative, I'm stating my perfectly valid opinion on this matter. I see the advice to not do Friend Actions for a day before changeover with every event that involves Friend Actions and it's bad advice. The only reason you should not do your Friend Actions the day before an event changeover is if you would be doing them just before the changeover and intend to do them immediately after the changeover instead. Skipping an entire day is hurtful to both you and your friends.

Oh, and I got the first 2 prizes and 2/3 of the way to the 3rd, and also finished Project Management Pt. 1 - despite not getting any Projects that required Plastic in my secondary game until I was nearing the cutoff for the day. I'm ending today with 13449 (primary) and 14136 (secondary) rolls of Duct Tape, which I think is pretty darn good.

I'm closing the first day of Act II with 17.088 duck tapes (I have Lisas Recycling and Krusty Station).
And for tomorrow I'll get my 5k daily bonus :)
