I haven't heard it since I updated out of the Halloween version. It does appear that some people are still getting some notifications related to Halloween. I remember this happening after the Whacking Day event. After a couple of days the WD notifications subsided, I assume the same will be true for the Halloween notifications. (Unless you haven't updated yet, in which case I imagine you'll keep getting them.)

I updated yesterday. I've never heard the scream before. Also today I got 'Rather them than me! Oh wait, it is me!', which made me chuckle. My favourite is 'Puuuuush notification'. :lol:

I am a big fan of the "Push Notification" one. I also really like "Mmmmm, crops. <drool>". My favorite, though, is the "<gasp>Visitors! Better put on pants." That one cracks me up every time I hear it. Plus I like knowing when people visit my town (esp. with the SP glitch).And while I was typing this, I got a Halloween notification about Springfield being overrun by ghosts (despite updating yesterday). Not sure about the sound, as I'm at work and my phone is silenced.

Initially, it used the "Mmmm, crops." notification, but eventually it was changed. Personally, I usually put my buildings (Cletus' Farm and Channel 6) on task after I have placed all the characters on tasks, so I don't get it very often. I do this so that I can tell when all the characters should be finished. When I notice that Channel 6 is ready, I do one last pass around my town to make sure I have rotated everybody, then cycle the buildings.I also like to start tasks of certain lengths with certain characters, so I get a notification about them. For example, I like to start 8 hour tasks with Ralph, so my notification is "Ralph finished Burn Things". Makes me laugh every time.

I love that one. Unfortunately, I play to often to get it very much. Occasionally something glitches and I get it a few times. Usually just after I have left my Springfield.

I have never heard the pants or Ralph notifications. I love though when I'm having a conversation and someone complains about something and immediately after Homer chimes in with "Better them than me."
