The Double-Haunt, Revisited

Same idea... All these rumors about double haunting, and maybe for nothing...

I used to do everything I could to avoid the double-haunt, but when I visit friends with huge Springfields who aren't clearing the haunts from their towns regularly, making it difficult for me to even find a non-haunted building, I'll do it. I don't have time to be scrolling all over everyone's ginormous Springfields looking for a new building to haunt, and it seems to me that if the same Springfields are haunted to the hilt every time I visit, those players aren't playing regularly anyway so they probably wouldn't notice or even care.

Also, I've never once noticed one of my own haunted buildings becoming un-haunted on its own but I have noticed that sometimes buildings in my Springfield seem to be double-haunted: I can get two taps out of them when I'm un-haunting. So I'm beginning to suspect the double-haunt doesn't hurt the player who's being double-haunted, and it may actually benefit them.

I agree. I've thought the same thing

As much as I would like to devalue this insignificant topic, I must say it is true. I have several towns and I know that double haunting takes away the haunt(goo). I've tested(proved) it while collecting from my three side towns. I still don't think it's a big deal.

Have to say I've been double haunted quite a bit lately but I don't really see it as someone taking advantage of me I see it as healthy competition they beat me to it this time so I gotta make sure I beat them to my haunted house next time!!!

That's an excellent, non-whining way to look at it. I like it.

Don't see point of getting stressed over it! It's a game this has been put into the game so it is part of the game. It encourages people to log in more often if they don't they may miss some of their goo! sounds fair to me I don't log in and I miss out on goo so I gotta log in more often to make sure I get it all!

Wouldn't say I'm "stressed" exactly, but it's a concern because many here have said they'll unfriend anyone they suspect of double-haunting. Since you get most of your daily GOO from friends (unless you've bought a bunch of mausoleums, wailing walls and cemetaries), being unfriended can make a dent.

It's less of a concern for me now that I've already got all the individual prizes, but it's nice to be making another 2k GOO every two days to get that surprise donut box. I'm sure others are outpacing me on this, but I'm not maxed out on friends. I've got about 50, and it already takes me SO long to visit them all every day I have no idea how the people with 100 friends manage it! :shock:

They double haunt. I'm sure it goes quicker. I'm kidding of course about the double haunting.

I believe this is glitched. I think it was meant to benefit the player if someone double-haunts, but that it only do so for some. If someone double-haunts buildings in my town, I lose the haunting (I know, because I have tested with a friend), but it seems like others gets a benefit.

Go figure EA fixed the "tap many ghosts on your last tap"-glitch, but doesn't fix this...

I am always amazed when people post about glitches that give the player extra GOO, money, or (especially!) donuts here. Here, on the EA forum. You know, that place that's run by the company that makes the game? Where it's probably someone's job to periodically scan the boards looking for this exact type of loophole and report it to the developers so they can close it as quickly as possible? May as well just open a bug ticket with EA directly. :roll:

When I find such a glitch, I only report it to players I actually know, and I do so privately, well away from this board.
