Act 4?

Maybe we get something like where we only have to buy a few items and have a questline. Maybe they will release sideshowbob for cash for the people that don't have him.

Farming License has over 12 days left if you look in the store, so I can assume crafting will go on for another 12 days.

yes i can confirm that. the crafting ends on june 4th with the event. we dunno what's going to happen in the final week though.

And on what do you base yourself stating that the events on June 4th? The in-game counter states that the event finishes in 3 days 12 hours. That's on May 26th if you ask me.

LPNintendoITA reads the code and files in the game to give us information and has a long history of being accurate.

as accurate as long as any updates EA can change that in an instant. for example: the Farmer License expires on June 4th, the limited items were expiring june 4th till one update come through.

Since it reads Prizes end in:

Is it possible that only some prizes end in 3 days, say Monsarno buildings? First prizes available, first prizes to expire maybe.

So the problem would be if, say, I really really wantthe houseboat and i have 8,000 masks 10 minutes before that countdown clock ends, I know I'm not going to have enough for the houseboat (uses 9,600 masks), but I could buy two "opera seats" (use 3,400 masks each, so crafting 2 would use up 6,800 of my masks) ... If the countdown clock expires and it does exactly what it SAYS it will do, but i waited because I had it on excellent authority that the countdown screen was just kidding when it said that, then I get nuthin' ...

Can you think of a reason for EA not just saying NOW that the time is extended? Some will say that they set people up, so they'll get more donuts ... But that would be achieved by, instead, just ending the crafting as scheduled, and saying "Surprise! You can now pay a bazillion donuts for that houseboat in our store!"

Again, what do they GAIN by giving out the wrong end date for crafting?

Can you imagine what playing this game without looking for walkthroughs and such is like? You'd always be making decisions based solely on what the game is telling you, and your experience. Or just guess. That was me for awhile when I started.

So does EA think most people play that way, or that most use the info on the net?

I have no idea why they antagonize their player base like this.

Hanlon's razor?

I'm hedging my bets on this one. Getting what I really want and saving the rest. If it all goes away, so be it. But after reading Bunny's comment, I may change my mind.

----Addition-----
There is a very interesting comment by Bunny on the addicts site regarding this. Google
"terwilliger-prize-guide-act-3-prize-8-dame-judith-underdunk" and then look for her comment dated May 22, 2015.

“Terwilligers_KillDate” “2015-06-04 8:00"
“Terwilligers_End” “2015-05-26 8:00"

Tl;Dr: Bunny says Terwilligers ends 5/26.

and all prizes are set to end their LimitedTime on may 26th and end their sale on june 4th. It's all weird...
and yes i can confirm that

So... any chance Cecil might become playable during the last stretch here after Act 3?

He is included in the character group for the Terwilligers.

It doesn't only say that the prizes end in 3 days. The event explantion screen literally reads that the event ends in three days:
