Got caught in an advantageous glitch

So I sent nearly everyone in Springfield on the pirate recruitment task (or whatever it was). When I went to clear the task, with over a hundred thumbs up, it caused my game to crash. No biggie, that happens. Log back in, try again. Crashed again. Hmmm, third times a charm? Crash again. Now I'm concerned. Log back in yet again, but this time I notice something: my XP has been going up, along with my cash. Not every time, but at least 1 in 3.

So I keep logging in to try to clear the task, and the game keeps crashing. But my XP and money keep counting. After, no lie, almost 100 trys, the task clears. But I increased my in-game cash by 2 million, and went over a million XP quite a few times, resulting in about a dozen donuts.

Odd.

    That's pretty sweet. I want one of those!
  • Darn, guess my device isn't that crappy. It hasn't crashed in a while. Congrats on benefiting.
  • i got the opposite effect spent a couple million on some stuff, and the game crashed.... net gain 4 donuts. compared to the 30-50 ish i wouldve gotten.
    Would enjoy to know the basics and contextual information of how this happened.

    iPad 2 A1397. I had about 100 characters assigned to the task. It would not complete the task, just crash. The clock kept running, so I could tap buildings and rats, which I did. I couldn't figure out if there was a specific method, like letting the game sync up for a certain amount of time. Maybe had something to do with my internet speed at the time, not sure; my game crash
