I did. It was Halloween 2013. I saw an ad on a random website. Simpsons and Halloween? I was hooked. I had no idea what I was doing, but it was a blast. I remember getting stuck during the event questline because I needed either Marge or Moe and I had yet to unlock them. I was still able to finish the event. Seemed so easy. I remember checking the counter on the community prizes and hoping we would reach the goal...LOL I was so clueless. It seems here lately that it could be difficult finishing some acts if you start the game in the midst of one.

I started playing the day it was released on the US App Store. March 1, 2012. Back then there wasn't no updates at all because the game was pulled from all App Stores 2 days later. And wasn't put back until August 2012. So all we had was the initial 20 levels. A lot of people gave up hope back then. We also had this forum too, but it was a different scene back then. @KrustyBrand can attest to this. He was there with me in those days.It wasn't until September 21, that we got our first ever content update. Level 21, then a week later we got the very first ever Episode Tie-in, followed by the very first event. Halloween 2012 and the rest is history.

I didn't. I started right after whacking day ended. Squidport and Krustyland were released during the summer but no real timed event, so I was able to progress without event issues.

I'm not sure, I either started right after whacking day, or just as Stonecutters started. I'm not sure if there was anything between those two, but I know I missed WD and really struggled with Stonecutters. It was a while after before I made it to the forum, I'd been on others and they were a waste of time.

As I've probably described ad nauseam, Aug 14th last year, just about 36hrs before Sci-Fi hit.... I hadn't a clue what was happening and my town looked so out of place with more futuristic buildings than normal.. to this day they're still set against the mountains to try and lessen their look around my town.... That was the only time I ever missed out on an act prize as well, Sgt. Skinner in Act 1, simply because I was new at it I think, made sure I got President Lisa and that's when I was suckered in...

I think I first downloaded just before the thanksgiving 2013 event, which feels longer than 4 years agoSrcatch that, took a look at the wiki it was some weeks before the 2013 whacking event I have prizes from then.

Did you start playing TSTO during an event?

I started playing a few weeks before Xmas 2012. No event going on. When the Xmas event started it was super easy. You just tapped Santa coins so you could continue playing the game and progress. The main characters had winter related tasks that earned coins as well but since we didn't have railyard back then I don't remember any event interruptions either.

I started when it started on Android. I have no idea when that was. Seems like a lifetime ago. Didn't expect it to go this long.

I started the day it released for Android, which was at the tail end of Valentine's Day 2013, so I couldn't get anything from that event. St. Patty's came up just after, followed by Whacking Day.
