Emblem schedule padding

Are you going to keep a large amount for the off chance that you have to miss one or two of Number 1's tasks?

Bingo. Some of the days could add up to 20 hours of tasks, which is a bit much even for me. I'm glad to have a cushion for those times.

After all the prizes, you can get 3 donuts for every 3000 emblems. So why slow down? :P

Awesome, I was hoping that'd be the case!

I'm going to keep going at the same(ish) pace. I will likely miss some of the Number 1 tasks on weekends, and I want to make sure I get everything this time since that's actually possible with this event! Also: donuts.

True, but is 3-6 donuts worth the loss of sleep, the tired and groggy feeling? At some point it might not be worth it...

At the pace I'm getting emblems, it will be more around the neighborhood of 21-30 donuts extra. I am a night owl and am up at midnight when the tasks start, and so far I have gotten either 1 hour or 2 hour tasks to start. I am still awake when those end and depending on if I get a 4 hour task or 2 hour task I may be up or set an alarm to collect and start the 3rd daily AND the parchment task. Being as there is a "spoiler thread" for all the parchment tasks, I usually have the character already on it so when it becomes available I am ready to complete it. I am sitting at almost 16,000 emblems right now and the ONLY thing I sped up was the lodge build. That puts me 7 days ahead of pace, so by the end of it I will probably be finished with the personal prizes between the 17th and 19th giving me 12 to 14 extra days of collecting emblems. Not to mention when you unlock the character skins they each give you a single task that gives you an extra 100 emblems.

I'm slowing a little. Since the start I've been trying to collect on as many 5 point lodges as possible. Normally getting around 40 per day but it was super time consuming and has already moved my visit start time by a couple of hours. So today I'm just going to visit neighbors in order and most likely continue with that the rest of the event.

No slowing down for me! At my current rate, I stand to earn between 40-50 pink sprinklies for extra emblems. Add in other event related pink sprinklies and pink sprinklies from visiting neighbors and I've earned myself a decent premium item! FOR FREE! WOOHOO!

I complete Number 1 tasks, parchment puzzle, misc. Stonecutters tasks, clear my town and make visits to neighbors when those tasks complete. Oh and I tap the Order guys he never I see them. With all that stuff and neighbors visiting me, I'm ahead at 10,000. I'll keep going until I get the ins prize. I'll keep going after that if emblems can be converted to donuts, treasure chests, etc.

Currently I am at 12000-odd emblems, so I am ahead.

I didn't realize that I was ahead until two days ago, but that sort of coincided with missing out on fulfilling the fourth daily task, and thus losing 400 emblems.

So, my plan is to go full steam ahead, because I have busy times ahead and know that I will probably not always be able to finish the fourth task in time for its payout.

I am pleased with this event, overall, so don't mind the grind.

This event is making up for the Easter fiasco. I was one of those who went for over three weeks without that damn Faberge egg, and so, no baskets. I never did get the stupid egg.

I feel like I have some control of my in-game destiny with the Stonecutters event. I complained vehemently during Easter, and said that I do not mind if an event is hard, as long as it is fair.

It's hard to keep up sometime... yesterday my No.1's tasks were 6 hr + 4 hr + 4 hr + 1 hr, total 15 hr! ... I barely cleared all, and hardly get much sleep. :(

Occasionally I travel, and the wifi abroad sucks, I lost 1-2 days tasks!

I'm nearly 10,000 now, only 1-2 days ahead of schedule, so won't be slowing down.
