Prep for switch to Issue 2

What I've found about timing is this ... It takes 2.5 hours to generate 30 criminals. At 3 hours, I'm still finding only 30. At 4 hours, I'm still getting 30. It's not until I get OVER the 5-hour marker that I get that bank to trigger. That's why I never have found, say, 45 criminals. There's a "dead zone" between 30 and 60. At least, that's what I'm seeing.

I try to visit my town approximately every 4 hours to reset felon-fighting and clear atomic whatchamacallits from buildings. But I'm no longer clearing out my criminals at those times. If I cleared out my criminals at 4 hour intervals, I would lose out on 18 criminals. And if I clear it out 1 minute before that 5-hour marker hits, I'll lose 30. :(

Ok, I'm caught up enough to look at the forum again... And now I'm sitting here waiting for the in-game update to finish loading (taking FOREVER! Try again. Try again. Try again...)

Thanks so much for this information. Yesterday we went on our weekly shopping trip. It took a little longer than usual because we had to do stuff like get my wedding ring resized...

We got back just short of 5 hours after I'd taped my last criminal, so I waited a few minutes... And got 60 criminals to tap. At least I must have since my pie total went up almost as much as it did overnight.

I would try checking criminal counts at various times, but I'm getting farther and farther behind where I should be thanks to all of my neighbors who are NOT visiting my town and tapping. I've made a check list and will be dumping the non-tappers soon...
