Family Guy is copying us?

Okay, maybe family guy is copying the simpsons? So what? Animation is built on plagiarism. If it weren't for someone plagiarizing the Honeymooners we wouldn't have the Flintstones. If someone hadn't ripped off Sergeant Bilko, there'd be no Top Cat. Huckleberry Hound, Chief Wiggum, Yogi Bear? Hah! Andy Griffith, Edward G. Robinson, Art Carney. Your honor, you take away our right to steal ideas, where are they gonna come from?

Why isn't one paying attention to this! This is the greatest thing ever. :lol:

Family Guy does give out more clams, but they seem to be less valuable than donuts in terms of what you get.

I decided I really wanted Jesus in the Christmas event, but there was no way to get him without buying a premium character to fight the yeti. So I spent $10 and got the clams to get John McClane and battled the yetis through the King Yeti and had 97/100 of the blue stockings needed. I think that's just obnoxious game design. There wasn't enough time left to let the King Yeti run out and kill the lowest two yetis, so I bought $8 more worth of clams in order to buy a building for 200 clams that would give me 3 blue stockings. Yes, it was my choice to do that, but TSTO would have offered a way to get the dang three socks for a few donuts.

TSTO is much more carefully designed it seems to me. In the Christmas event, I couldn't win Jasper so Lois was the only one who could battles mall santas. Also the only one who could battle the yeti for days. Also constantly required for various quests. Meanwhile, most of the other characters have nothing special to do. Still it was a fun and complex if frustrating event. Strangely scripted, all the way up to Dec 31 they talked about Christmas coming, never actually happening. And now it's New Year's Eve in the Game.

The game is really crude. I don't find it funny at all, but apparently I'm so addicted to town-rebuilding tapping games that TSTO is not enough.

I had no issues finnishing King Yeti with Mclane. Could be done without him to if you don't sleep for 24 hours hehe. Anyhow. I got him cause I wanted him and after that I had no issues with King Yeti.. but the price, the permanent Yetis is SO lame. Just stands there, arms hanging. Completely useless and boring.

I hardly think donuts gives more considering the price.

I didn't have a problem with McClane but he cost 200 clams. Without McClane it was not really possible. If all 3 characters did 2 damage all 6 times, yes. But that was only theoretically possible. They did 1 damage most of the time. If you had an infinite amount of time, maybe you'd have a day where they all maxed out on damage 6 times in a row.

For 200 doughnuts, perhaps not, but I had to spend 400 clams to get Jesus. I didn't want McClane, I only got him to get Jesus. The yeti prize is lame, but the Jesus, Santa and McClane characters are fun.

For 200 donuts I can get any character/building combo except Barney and the motel

What you are not accounting for is difference in cost. 300 clams does not equal 300 donuts. 600 clams equal 300 donuts. So in "donuts" John McClane was 100, which is mostly on par with most non building characters of TSTO.

I didn't buy any premium buildings, but did get both members of kiss and John. Had no trouble getting Jesus.

And how do you figure 600 clams equals 300 donuts? Not in real money they don't. You get about the same stuff for 300 donuts as you would for 300 clams. Just about.
