Frying Dutchman - Task won't trigger

nancalmei wrote:
So I finished building the Frying Dutchman and the Sea Captain won't trigger. Isn't he supposed to work for 8 hours? All my characters except for that character that lives in the mountain is free (can't remember his name right now.). I've stored the restaurant already which worked with Itchy and Scratchy store. Anyone else having issues or have suggestions? Thanks.


Mine gets done building in a few hours. Yeh the Sea captain should trigger it. Did you finish building the 16 tiles?

    Me too. Cost me 30 donuts. First time I ever rushed anything-- I'm so ashamed.


    Don't be ashamed. That's what EA wants you to do! Spend donuts and buy some more! :)


    Quick impression of EA when "we" spend Donuts ;)

    But that's just it-- I caved to the greedy corporate machine! I was weak...

  • I am here too, waiting on my 14th tile tomorrow at 10am..then two more to go... So Friday sometime....
  • Every once in a rare while I'll purchase a scratcher (with real money) and I actually won 100 donuts early this morning so I cheated and used some of them to speed up the tiles in order to complete the task. I just couldn't wait another 24 hours.

    LOL @ everybody's pics. At least you guys are moving on. I need two more tiles. The day I will be done will depend on whether or not the second tile is 24 hr or 36 hr. :( Have fun sending your Springfielders to the Frying Dutchman! :thumbup:


    That was kind of fun, actually. Can't wait til they're done (1.5 more hours), it'll be cool to see 20 thumbs over the restaurant

    That's actually a lot more than 20- I sent every available character I could to the Frying Dutchman.
  • Or this?



    I think I had about 48 or 49. Some of my characters were doing other tasks because I forgot this one was coming up. Damn, the Homer and Barney tasks following this one are about a day and half long if I remember correctly. Not using any donuts this time around.

    I wound up putting 51 in there. Jasper and Herman would not go
