Keep in mind that these Daily Challenge glitches (like the recent 'Buy Milk' glitch) are opportune times to farm donuts, money, and recycling items, especially when you are maxed-out on levels! I was able to move the glitched Kwik-E-Mart near my recycling centers and collect the following within a few days:- $2.7 billion in money- 5,000+ donuts (from the cycling of 1,000,000 XP points at Level 939)- 200,000+ trash points- 80,000+ can points- 70,000+ plastic points- 65,000+ glass pointsThe money can be used to farm the Tiki Bar, Bloodmobile, and/or Rat Trap Truck items for more donuts. (The forum provides other ways to farm donuts...) The recycling items can be used to farm tracks and more donuts...All you need to do is move the Kwik-E-Mart with all the characters' 'thumbs up' states within the trigger range of your trash/can/plastic/glass recycling centers and their characters' 'thumbs up' states and tap it. Then, immediately tap the friends transfer icon. In a couple seconds, the Kwik-E-Mart releases the characters and triggers the recycling centers for a split second before transferring you to your friend's location. Tap on the home transfer icon and the Kwik-E-Mart and recycling centers are back to completed 'thumbs up' states. IT'S IMPORTANT TO TAP THE FRIENDS TRANSFER ICON IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE TAPPING OF THE KWIK-E-MART OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR RECYCLING CENTER 'THUMBS UP' CHARACTERS...I "dibbied up" the recycling center characters as followed (this may vary, depending on who are dedicated to the 'Buy Milk' glitch):Trash-Lisa-Milhouse-Mr. Flanders-Mayor Quimby-CletusCans-Brandine-Krusty-Reverend Lovejoy-Hippie-Mr. BurnsPlastics-Uter-Principal Skinner-Martin-Comic Book GuyGlass-Dewey Largo-Jesse Grass-BartHappy donut farming!!!

You realize by posting this they are going to patch it as quick as they can.. you forgot The first rule about the the glitch club..

So what you're saying is you'd like to inform EA of an exploit in their game by posting it in their forum so it can be fixed ASAP and so no players can use it anymore?

You don't think they read your private messages? That's nuts ;)

btw mods are just ppl like us that check. only admins can see them if possible. mods are unpaid fan people that got to the top basicly but have no need to tell ea that those exists. hell many times they discover and share them lol

And... Of all the boards I have been on, we have a great set of mods!!!

This is a good reminder for people though that not all sites have an ethical admin. Take a critical look at things the admin does in general and use that to decide if you think they are ethical or not.

Just to clarify my point, I'm not referring to a person with admin or mod access reading PMs. I'm referring to what's stated in the privacy agreement. EA uses technology such as analytics to improve their products and gather information about how users are using their products. It does not state that the forum is included or excluded from this list of products. It also states that social interactions such as chats are included in data that is analyzed by this technology. Also, not stating whether this is just game chats or includes forums.

My point is that we cannot assume the information cannot or will not be accessed as we agree to its use for the purposes outlined in the agreement. And it may be accessed by scripts rather than directly by people. Whether they actually use analytics on the forum isn't something that will be divulged to us, however we consent to its use by using one of their products.

Just saying the technology exists and we have agreed to its use. Beyond that we can't assume anything.

I do admin a smf forum, i cannot read pm's from others to others. I realize those are stored on a database. Just a thought of maybe they are in fact private, but no one can be certain obviously. I am not that naiev. Just defending myself a bit.

One other thing! Make sure your XP Collider is in operation to take advantage the multiple XPs generated by the glitch! B)

The above is true, by the time I read about a glitch it’s usually fixed and gone. But now I also feel stupid because I thought the “buy milk” challenge was just annoying because it prevents using the Office of Unemployment for most of the characters.

Maybe a thread for people to say they have found positive glitches and then posters can exchange PM's to keep it all hush-hush! :lol:

That has actually worked on occasion.

This doesn't work as well. They have access to PMs and they get fixed from there as well.

There is no way to share information on EA's forum to pass positive glitch information to other players without it being fixed.
