crazy event

Crazy, but exciting! Can't wait to drop weird things during neighbor visits. :)

Remember, you only get 5 total mutant seeds to drop in your friends towns to start. Not 5 mutant seeds per town.

I think it's doable, as much as I love making lists and figuring things out it's a bit much to figure out all the totals from character tasks, let alone post something someone else can follow. I started and decided to cut my losses halfway through as there are too many combinations and the added complexity of what level you're on. But the math looked promising with 12 days left.

Basically am going to get my Monsarno up to level 7 to get the most possible chance at fertilizer and try to get a good rotation of characters groups on a regular schedule. My focus will be on those with fertilizer tasks and it seems this will require a login of at least every 2 hours once you get to level 5.

I get corn when I tap the tall, skinny, wandering vegetables that show up.

Weird! I haven't seen any wandering veggies!

I feel like I'm doing pretty well so far. My building is level 3 so I have a good amount of people with jobs that earn event currency. I'm working towards my third prize now. I only used donuts to speed up the first 8 hour task.

I must confess I'm struggling a bit to grasp the game dynamics for this event. Testing a new approach for future events perhaps?

I noticed with a only few minutes to spare that they changed the the closing time from 8am GMT to 10pm GMT. :shock:
Had to rush the last task (costing me 8 donuts) to get the final prize. Fortunately I won a lot of bonus donuts during the superhero event, so it doesn't really bother me.

I am not worried at all, haven't spent a sprinkle yet. But this may be an event where the side towns miss out. My strategy is to focus on Cecil's tasks, leveling up the lab and the charecter group tasks (in that order). Once the friend visits unlock, I'll make sure to at least do the first 30-40 (or whatever) that pay widgets.

I will note LP is now saying craftables stay around through the end of phase three so there should be plenty of time to get what you want. My guess is it will be really tough for compleationists to get them all, but most causal players who play through the entire event will be able to get the cool stuff and we'll avoid a Bobbinsgate situation.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I've competed Cecil's tasks for the day but still haven't gotten far enough for neighbour visits. Do I really have to get to level 3 before I get anything from my neighbours? That seems like it could take another day or so. My biggest mistake was not realizing that other characters had tasks to get corn etc. :shock:

you have to finish lisa's two tasks (1h and 4 hour) after you upgrade to level 3 before you can drop seeds (I'm assuming that's when neighbors will stop showing cash registers over buildings at that point)(people who are farther along can drop seeds in your town before you hit that point, note: it felt like there were more than 5 seeds dropped in my town but maybe that's because the green things move very fast, disappear near buildings and then reappear on the other size of the building)

Obviously you will... I'm home sick, spending donuts. Rushed a few tasks.

This event is more like a piece of furniture from Ikea at the moment but we're getting put together.

I am so lost. I think I should have been doing something earlier, but I know not what. Only 4 hours and 15 minutes to complete Cecil's tasks? When did the clock start?

Having recently started a new job (oddly enough, in the field of genetic research), this may be the first event I won't complete. :?
