Why tomorrow and the 5th how do you know when updates are arriving whatever they may be

When you've been through a few updates, you start to recognise a pattern in how they space out updates. He's probably not too far off the mark.

He's just guessing, but updates tend to come in the middle of the week so if we're getting Level 43 this week, it will come tomorrow or maybe Thursday. They usually do something every week when events aren't on, so I also think we're very close to Level 43 content!

Oh ok well I think the 'drop' Matt was referring to in September might be Springfield Gorge

I would love to see how EA would implement that :-)

Just read this idea on a site by someone named Brodie, sounds good to me!

BART THE DAREDEVIL

-Freemium Character/Building Combo with cost/build time :
Bart the Daredevil skin with Springfield Gorge. cost: $50,000 Build time: 24 hours.
The Bart skin would look like the outfit wears in “Bart the Daredevil” when he intends to jump over Springfield Gorge – skull and crossbones shirt, red cape, utility belt, carrying skateboard

-Premium Character with Cost: Captain Lance Murdock cost 40 donuts Bart’s stunt idol in his cool white jumpsuit and cape

-At least 1 freemium or premium decoration with pricing: Truck-A-Saurus $1,000,000
The item I would want most from this update. Who WOULDN’T want a massive robot/truck monster crushing cars in their Springfield?

-Level Up Character, Message & Donuts awarded. Captain Lance Murdock, “I’m glad you’re all here to witness what may very well be my grisly death.” 2 donuts

-A General Idea of what the questline would include.
Generally, following a lot of the plot of the classic episode “Bart the Daredevil” with some adapting to fit the game.
After witnessing Captain Lance Murdock’s stunts, Bart is obsessed with becoming a famous daredevil himself. He practices stunts and gets injured, but is all the more determined to become a great stuntman. Lisa tries to dissuade him by making him watch grisly stunt injuries online, and then having him talk to his hero in the hospital, but nothing works. Finally, Homer himself intercedes and – following a heart-to-heart with Bart that talks him out of the dangerous stunt, falls into the gorge himself. (One time 12 hour task paying 5 donuts).

I kind of hate reading people's level ideas because quite often they turn out to be so good (like this one) and then you're just left with this empty feeling.
