I thought about lodge tapping but its only 300 emblems, not worth my time at all. Without even trying (or spending donuts) I'm at 13,000 emblems, which by some blogs charts is almost double what I need in order to hit the final prize before the end of the event.

You must get LOT of neighbor taps. Some of us have more of a struggle.

Tbh only about 30-35 out of my neighbors visit my town (I have 100). There are people that have been on my list since Christmas who've never even been to my town. I'm not sure why either because that's how you get a lot of this stuff. Very weird.

It takes less time. Sure, I may miss out on a few emblems. However, I hope that by visiting everyone and giving three taps I'll get more return visits than I normally would and that will make up some of the difference.

I do this, it's a thoughtful strategy.

I think a poll may be in order regarding tapping neighbors...

I tap the lodge if it's available but otherwise will just tap anything. I tried lodges then going back but it took too long and I kept getting confused. I like seeing that neighbours actually visit me so I like to repay that finger tapping effort in kind. :)

I would not delete lodge tappers. They're just working a strategy and at the end of the day, they're pretty good neighbors visiting your town.

This is basically what i do :) I'm not worried about the emblems for the max amount as we have plenty of time to get all the prizes or at least i think we do.

My main concern is making sure i visit everyone on my list so everyone gets a reward :)

The way i see its all...........

This is my view. I'm already ahead of the curve by about 5000 emblems so why bother logde tapping exclusively?

I'm not going to delete anyone for it but it bothers me.

Lol. Nice "Hot Fuzz" reference. I love that movie. Very appropriate for this event with the whole secret society theme. :wink:

I do try to keep my lodge clear as much as possible, and it does not bother me at all if neighbours visit and just tap the lodge. It does me annoy if they only tap that one thing and then never return, especially as I try to make sure and visit every neighbour and tap three cameras every day.

What I have noticed is that by just blasting once through my neighbour list, tapping three cameras in each SF (including the lodge where available) I am averaging around 130-140 emblems per round of visits.

That, combined with the 1000 emblems available for the number 1 tasks, the reward for the parchment puzzles and the quest lines, means I am around 4 days ahead of the chart, so I am pretty comfortable with that.
