Patience pays off, I always say. When there's a long pause between events, people get impatient and bored. I admit to that, as well, but the longer you play TSTO, the more you will realize it's worth the wait. Those who lose patience and leave don't know what their missing. Their loss. This event is the best yet, in my opinion.

It's a refreshing change of pace in here. Well said!

CheeseyPoof enjoys breaks in-between events. Lets him save up money for new buildings. CheeseyPoof is new to the forum but agrees to not create threads complaining about a lack of update in the future.

You forgot Bonus donuts for finishing early and continuing to grind away!There will be a glitch in the greatness so far: Issue 2 has crafting involved so you know there will be legions of people complaining that they didn't get enough of "X" and had too much of "Y" when they already have the item they want to craft already built...

I will admit, I did suffer from a bit of ants-in-the-pants, but I tried my best to remain patient and appreciated the little bits we got from EA. My DH has been playing a lot longer than I have, so I knew with the late winter/spring holidays something was bound to happen. Kudos to EA for the learning curve on the last 3 events...seems like the best ideas were all rolled into one, making a helluva great event!

Can a lesson be learned here? A simple poll...

It hopefully won't be as bad as Halloween crafting because they have divided the way mats are given so we shouldn't find ourselves as badly imbalanced in what we earn.

I am thoroughly enjoying this event! I do seem to have a glitch, when pieman is batteling the convict, he is nowhere near the bat welding felon. Kinda funny I guess.

The drop rates and the amounts needed are posted, it'll take A LOT of grinding to get one of everything but it isn't out of the question...

It cracks me up how they fight too...the felon has a bat over his shoulder the whole time and all he does is give a couple of lazy kicks.
