I didnt know what I what I was doing and like a dummy dropoed most of mine in the other Springfield! When I get a few more I will return the favor.

I'm liking the event but not the mystery boxes, the only thing I have (had) was the open air stage. Oh well. Picked up Murphy and the two rock star guys (forget their names already) glad I saved up

I've put my KEM, Mo's Bar :lol: and Rock stage all in one place on a spare piece of land, hopefully that means all my concert goers will be easy to find as they congregate there... I'll do my neighbours tomorrow once everyone has settled into the update

What about the guest star?..

Spoiler

Weird Al Yankovic though... wooooooooooo.. wonder if he'll end up playable like Stephen Hawking

He's listed under helpful guest stars and I don't think he'll be a NPC. I'm thinking he'll be like Norbert who had his own thing going on during the event and then you get him as a playable character at the end.

Lots of cool new characters. What a great event. The splash page looks good too

Seems like a lot of the guesses about characters were spot on. I'm a little bummed there's no Singing Hobo or Roofi though.

Sooooo, weird al is just visiting , huh? We don't, like, "get" him, cuz he behaves like an npc. Which means if i want to maximize my time with Alan, i shouldn't have milhouse do the task. That way i can have Al walking around for days! Is that worthwhile, though. (Yes. Yes it is.) Also, no glitches yet for the 5 star "dueling" system look of the
event, whereas superheroes would have crashed 5 times by now. Smilee! / kudos to the team!

As I theorized above, Al is probably filling a similar function to Norbert during Destination Springfield. He'll likely be a playable character at the end of the event.

Has anybody found lawyers on anything except for roads? I am thinking about changing to cobblestone in most places so I can wrangle them up in one area, but I want to make sure I am not wasting my time.

Weird Al will probably be the second celebrity, after Stephen Hawking, to be a character in TSTO.

Don't worry about it, I'm just trying to figure out what is what at the moment.... haha..

That's a good idea. I may temporarily move them also.

I remember doing it once before in another event, where certain buildings were needed to make stuff and it made it easy to tap each building and assign everyone available when they were all together, can't think what the event was though, all i can recall is making chicken fingers in one of them :confused:

I think the Terwilligers event required the different buildings. The pagan event had chicken fingers.

Yes, looked it up, Winter 2016... think there was Moe's and the library was another one making various items, had them all lumped together but they weren't all used at the same time... anyway... forget about all that now and let's all just rock out.. :sunglasses:

So I assigned my "performers" to fast for the first part but it seems there is a way to "maximize" payouts, as stated in the update screen. Has anyone figured out how to do it yet? Each performer had different icons by them when I was assigning them I remember.

Anyone notice that the prize track has "land token and new venue" listed as the second prize? Does "new venue" mean we get a new building or does it just open up another building to send performers to?

My icon changed in the App Store, but no update yet for apple products yet.

I can see the update and the cool new icon but it won't download

EDIT Got it now it took a few tries. Are the mechanics tap ball/super hero's 2?
