they don't overlap we switch to the next currency when the timer runs out

1) What is your proof of that?

2) What timer do you see that lists when an episode ends?

There is a timer for the event ends (about 32 days from now)
There are timers for when the next Episode/prizes are unlocked.

Look closely. That's why people are getting clarification from EA.

I'm pretty sure he's going off of previous events. Now I'm personally all for giving people a chance to finish and not locking them out when that timer hits zero after each episode, but I'm not sure they would do that.

Then again we don't know for sure yet. Just to be safe, try to finish the episode before time runs out. It shouldn't be hard to finish. I collected over 2800 in my first day. It's definitely doable.

2800+ in less than 12 or so hours? Or did you use donuts? How many of those were from Friend visits?

I would love some numbers from other folks. I'll count my criminals tomorrow morning and see what kind of maximum there is.

Keep in mind that last event there was no bank. So it will be interesting to see if they have a bank this event.

After exactly 2 hours just now, meticulously searching and re-searching my town, I found 24 criminals. That would mean roughly 1 every 5 minutes. No idea what the cap might be, though.

Yay! Looks like there is a bank this time. Woke up this morning and tapped 51-53 criminals. If the max is 30, then that means the bank is probably about 20 or 25. Since they generate at about 12 per hour, looks to me like you could maximize by logging in every four hours. Good to know!

Anyone else getting similar numbers?

Yes, this seems about the same as I'm seeing, but I'll admit I'm not keeping exact counts. They seem to pop up more often than the Elves from Christmas, but not quite as often as the Rigelians from Halloween.

I figured out another possibility regarding the overlap. Remember the daily prizes in stonecutters? The next prize unlocked on the next day. But you could only win them in order. Maybe that's how this one works. (Or not.)

But if it does, my concern for those who are not meeting that timing is that, if they need the prize (eg, clownface, in this case) to trigger the pie-throwing mechanism in issue 2, theyll fall back further and further with each level. This is pure opinion, not based on knowledge, but on history.

Maybe?

i am almost positive there will be no overlap.

when you go to episode 2 it shows it starts in 3 days.

if there is overlap how will the game decide to give you rods or bombs for all the tapping?

Having almost 8000
Is that enough if you know the timer is on 3 days and 15 houres or so :?:
