Guys, we have a problem

It seems to me that when we hit the total shown, ALL the community prizes will be unlocked at once.

Either that, or (as I've theorized here before) there may be some kind of Christmas Eve / Christmas Day tie-in with The Grumple.

I'm not at all worried. I'm sure we'll be getting the community prizes, one way or another. :)

so -- you are saying they are extending Christmas until Feb 2014 ??!!? :)

I've read another thread: the counter is increasing slowly. And most folks think it will end up giving us all community gifts.

I hope...

Thanks for your Excel skillz !!

I've seen you say this a couple times, and I'm not sure where you're getting this idea.

Exhibit A:

this is where you are wrong. Didn't you pay attention at the Halloween special?
Also look at this page where you can clearly see different progressions for the community goals:

As a reference I have included the Halloween 2013 community prizes here: http://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/The_Simpsons:_Tapped_Out_Halloween_2013_content_update#Community_Prizes

EDIT: thanks neuroheart. what site is that btw?

Thx for posting the community prizes. That's the 1st I've seen of them. Pretty cool stuff.

It's a screenshot of spAnser's community counter on his news site (tstonews, which I don't think I can post an actual link to because such posts tend to get deleted)

neuro - why on Earth would you trust anything on the community counter pop-up when we all already know the counter from Halloween was totally fake? There's no way the devs didn't do this math ahead of time, and if they've made it appear the community prizes are FAR out of reach, there's a reason, and it probably has to do with something that's going to happen in the game.

(I mean, 2.5 BILLION cards to get the cooling towers? How could that be anything but a dev in-joke?)

Apologies, but you seem to have missed the point, that being that the totals given for each prize are distinct, and the highest one is 2,500,000,000, so they are NOT all unlocking at 450,000,000 which is what you assert.

I may be going out on a limb here but at the current speed we will be hitting the 450 000 000 gifts (not cards; apparently it only counts the gifts we put into other peoples towns) on 23rd to 24th december. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe we get a big bonus or whatever. As I said: out on a limb.
