Once people hit 10k, is there anything after that like free doughnuts every 5000 goo or something similar?

1-3 donuts every 2000 goo.

Ok so loads of threads going around about double haunting and it stealing goo from the town.

But does it?

I've noticed a few times now when I log in there are buildings haunted at my landing zone, I clear them and bounce around the town looking for gremlins etc. Before I am done the same buildings are again haunted. So is this the effect of the double tap? Or is just an amazing co-inkey-dink?

Anyone else notice this?

ps sorry aboutt the coinkeydink

So what you are saying that after a few seconds of un-haunting your own buildings, (though they say haunted by Ghosts and not someone's user name) that you go back and they are showing haunted again so that you have a chance to clear them again is in affect clearing both visitors who have clicked on the same building?
I'm not sure. The consensus on this forum is that when you visit someone Springfield's and tap on a already haunted house you are clearing the other visitors tapping losing them them goo.
Could it be that after you clear the building of Ghost's and in those few seconds looking for Gremlins that others visitors have arrived in your springfield and tapped on those buildings you have gone back too?

I'm not buying any of this double haunting 'goo stealing' nonsense.

My experience: Sometimes I can click on a haunted building in my SF and I get goo/gremlins but the building remains haunted. I click it again and get more goo/gremlins. Both times the name of a friend comes up (two different names).

Only TWICE have I had a handshake sign over a building since the event started.

When I click on a haunted building in a friends town, it says 'Haunted by Ghosts'. My friend reported back that she got double goo/gremlins after I clicked on that building.

ONCE I clicked on an already haunted building in a friends town and it said 'Haunted by Username123'.

In summary: I believe both parties get more goo from double haunting. It is possible to 'goo steal' but it's very rare.

This has indeed happened to me more than once, so you could be right.

For all the belly aching, stop and think for a sec. The developers intentionally did this so that:

A.) People would visit all their friends

AND

B.) You will check your Springfield more often.

Also, a 10 gremlin cap prevents people from forming alliances and only visiting a handful of allies. This is a social game and they want you to be SOCIAL!

I'm on my rounds now and in a lot of my friends SF's who haven't logged on for a while, the buildings are haunted but there's no option to double haunt. Already double haunted? I'm beginning to think this goo stealing nonsense is just a big myth.

Myth it is.

Most of the time I don't double haunt because it's so easy to get enough goo without doing it to get the individual prizes. However, I have gotten 4 doughnuts from double haunting. I think once most people have the individual prizes, which should happen for most active players in the next week, we should all double haunt as much as we can. Doughnuts cost real money and if I can collect more by double haunting, I will. I'm not worried about the community prizes just yet. I'm guessing EA will not make it impossible for us to get them all. Think about all the * and moaning that will happen in this board, forever ad finitum, if we don't get them all.

If the second prize is another 5 billion goo task, then I'll come back to the boards and see what everyone says.

I'm another non double haunt goo stealing believer I'm afraid. I've visited SF's to see houses haunted that you can't double tap, a bit like the gremlins, it tells you whose haunted it and shows there user names, however these double taps are haunted by 'The Ghosts'. I've also noticed that not every SF has these infamous double haunting a but does have haunting a you can't touch. So where did this myth start & where is the evidence to say double tappings cause others to lose goo. I'm just curious because to top it off I've actually seen 'The Ghosts' haunt my own SF and I get double goo off them too, however they are not an often occurrence. I think these 'The Ghosts' haunting a aren't other users but a set like maybe just maybe it's the 'other SF' doing the haunting.

really...if u want to steal goos, go steal those with 10k+ goos as it really useless after that point...

I dont want to steal goo, I dont double tap houses (since reading it stole goo anyhow). This is purely an observation and maybe we are being over cautious. Back under your bridge please.
