Community prizes impossible??

Well even though spanser said the counter isn't fixed, the one we see is fixed. It basically only counts up by a preprogramed amount. His post said 4.5/sec currently. The actual rate is probably much higher and EA will increase programed amount we see as the event goes on.

IMO only EA knows if we'll get the community prizes.

It isn't always 4.5 seconds also why would they waste server calls telling the server to increment the community prize counter if 99.999999% of the games population don't even know how to read the server calls to know that is what is going on.

Ok, my mistake. I took what was posted as counting at 4.5 balls/sec. Which fit what I had witnessed this morning with counter only moving by single digits.

at the rate we're going to this post:

Prize 1: 4 months, 5 days, 5 hours, 24 minutes, 29 seconds

Prize 2: 8 months, 22 days, 14 hours, 24 minutes, 29 seconds

Prize 3: 1 year, 3 months, 7 days, 10 hours, 37 minutes, 49 seconds

Prize 4: 1 year, 8 months, 13 days, 15 hours, 57 minutes, 49 seconds

thanks to spAnser for the calculations *cough*
o joy

LOL LP. Did you factor in that the second prize may be significantly more balls than the 110mil for the first? ;)

He did he knows what all the total #s are. I also posted the new LIVE Community Prize Tracker on my website. (updated once a minute so refreshing the page will always start at the same # until the backend is updated which is once a minute)

Oh good I can put in my calendar now :wink:

The counter is now going much faster for me (I have dropped three balls in neighbours towns) - instead of one point per second it leaps by five points.

Is this how it works? The more balls you drop, the faster you get the prizes? Or is that futile optimism?

No tapper! We must unite and tap like we have never tapped before.

+1 :D

Once we get balls dropping from fans the counter increment will increase as people use them.

Funny to extrapolate based on what is going on right now, but not a realistic projection.
