Sideshow You

none for me in a very long time

None for me either, for a long time.

OK finally got my sideshow you donuts today! I swear it's been twice the wait as usual!

I hope this doesn't constitute necroposting, it is for documentation purposes only.

I got another Sideshow You donut prize today, 46 days after my last one. I go there maybe 2-3 times per day, so that constitutes maybe 100-150 visits (should be closer to 140 or so, I usually get 3 times/day). Seems to me that this is evidence against the commonly held belief that you get a donut prize every 300 visits.

Taking into consideration how long I waited for my last batch (it must have been 6 months), this would suggest strongly to me that it really is random now...

I'm not going to say Sideshow you is a blatant lie...but I can't think of a nice way to end that thought.

You're supposed to have two ways to win, the 1% chance and the guaranteed bonuts every 300 clicks. In the 4 or 5 months I've had the sideshow you (clicking at least twice a day, and at least 3 times a day half the time), I've won exactly 5 bonuts :P

I keep track of my donuts in case of glitches.

My last 2 sets of 5 donuts were on September 21st and November 1st. 41 days apart. I average 3 sets of balloons popped every day give or take so let's call it 40 days.

40 days X 3 sets X 3 balloons = 360 balloons. So it looks like every 360 balloons you get 5 donuts.

And I got the donuts on the same day on the same balloon pop in both my games,

Because we need more reasons not to visit KL.

:roll:

I think it's still every 300 balloons, like LP said there haven't been any changes. I did notice a dry spell in all three of my towns. My guess is the monorail update reset the counters just like it did for the mystery boxes.

How'bout you just go to KL twice a day, collect your tickets, pop your balloons, and move on..?

Maybe skip the over thinking of it because it's a game, not calculations for launching the space shuttle trajectory to Mars??

And then, when you eventually DO get donuts it's just a pleasant surprise, instead of some overdue expectation?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, 4j3k. You're WAY underthinking this. TSTO is meant to be extremely complicated.

I'm gonna notate your misstep in one of my spreadsheets . . . just gotta locate the right one. :P
