Are you a gremlin hoarder?

But I have approx 21k goo and don't go through every neighbour town once a day like I did when it started... now I may do some whilst watching some crappy TV or something but even though 3 donuts for every 2k is an excellent source of donuts I just can't make myself spend too long bothering over it...

I definitely multitask when visiting neighbors, usually it's news (NPR or the News Hour) but recently I've been listening to old archived radio episodes of Philip Marlowe. Yes, they're cheesy but fun. In case anyone's interested: http://archive.org/details/OTRR_Philip_Marlowe_Singles

Since you can get 3 donuts for every block of 2000 (or more) goo you collect, all you're doing is depriving yourself of extra donuts. Unless you're playing a hacked town, that's kinda nice.

You should be very generous with your gremlins and give them to neighbours, I once got 314 goo from my gremlins! It's a lot faster than tapping for ghosts!

The trick is to try and drop the gremlins in your friend's towns when you think they aren't playing the game. If the Gremlins stay there for 4 hours, you get 4 lots of goo. If they get caught, you get 2 lots.

I usually drop mine at bed time (I'm still talking about the gremlins here) and when I wake up, I have a nice stash of extra goo in the morning (this sentence is actually getting worse as I type it!!!!!)

That doesn't work so good. People can drop 10 & let it sit all day til they go in & clear it out. Good for the person that dropped them, but doesn't make room for anyone else. I've been stuck with gremlins cuz the sf are maxed out.

Wow, you guys seem to be getting many more gremlins than I am. Maybe they're affected by the % increase you get from some premium items, like cash and XP are? I've got about thirty right now and I get maybe 40-50 a day (I have ~75 friends that are playing the Halloween update).

So, on the one hand, I try to dump them, but it seems most people aren't clearing their towns regularly, but on the other hand, I don't seem to have the get the kinds of quantities I'm seeing in this thread. I can't fathom having hundreds at a time. But if you're looking to dump some gremlins... the user name is mattderes :D

I try to get rid of them, but it's hard when there is no room on most of the springfields. :x

I get rid of mine every-time I go in other people's SF.

I have 100 friends but rarely have gremlins in my town. My town is constantly haunted by my friends though.
